Halelu 68
1 E KU iluna ke Akua, e hooauhee liilii i kona mau enemi: E auhee hoi imua ona ka poe i hoowahawaha ia ia.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.
2 Me he uahi la i puhiia'ku, pela e hoopuehu ai oe ia lakou; Me ka pilali i hehee ai imua o ke ahi, Pela e make ai ka poe hewa imua o ke Akua.
As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.
3 Aka, e olioli ka poe pono, e hauoli hoi imua o ke Akua; Oiaio, e hauoli loa lakou.
But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.
4 E himeni aku oukou i ke Akua; E hoolea aku hoi i kona inoa: E hapai aku hoi i ka mea holokaa maluna o na lani, Ma koua inoa, o IA, a e hauoli imua ona.
Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds — His name is the LORD— and rejoice before Him.
5 O ka Makua no ka poe makua ole, O ka Lunakanawai no na wahinekanemake, Oia ke Akua i kona wahi hoano e noho ai.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
6 Ua hoonoho ke Akua i na mea mehameha iloko o na ohana; O ka poe i paa i na kaula hao, kana i hoopuka mai nei; Aka, e noho no ka poe kipikipi ma kahi panoa.
God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 E ke Akua, i kou hele ana imua o kou poe kanaka, I kou eu ana'e iwaena o ka waonahele; (Sila)
O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland,
8 Haalulu ae la ka honua, Hookulukulu mai la ka lani, ma ke alo o ke Akua: O Sinai hoi kekahi ma ke alo o ke Akua, ke Akua o Iseraela.
the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
9 Hoohelelei iho la oe, e ke Akua, i ka ua nui, I hoomau ai oe i kou hooilina i kona nawaliwali ana.
You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.
10 Malaila i noho ai kou ekalesia; No kou maikai, e ke Akua, ua hoomakaukau oe no ka poe ilihune.
Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.
11 Haawi mai la ka Haku i ka olelo; He lehulehu loa ka poe i hoolaha.
The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:
12 O na'lii o na poe kaua ua auhee wawe lakou: A o ka mea i noho ma ka hale ua puunaue no ia i ka waiwai pio.
“Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.
13 A i moe ae oukou mawaena o na ipuhao, E like auanei oukou me na eheu o ka manu ku i paapu i ke kala; A me kona mau hulu, i ke gula lenalena.
Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”
14 I ka wa i hoopuehu ai ka Mea mana loa i na'lii iloko ona, Ua like ia me ka hau ma Salemona;
When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.
15 O ka mauna o ke Akua, ka mauna Basana: He mauna kiekie, ka mauna Basana.
A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.
16 O ke aha la ka oukou mea e kiei malu ai, e na maunakiekie? Eia ka mauna a ke Akua i makemake ai e noho, Oiaio, e noho mau loa o Iehova ma neia.
Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.
17 O na kaa o ke Akua elua umi tausani i papaluaia; O ka Haku ka iwaena o lakou, Pela ma Sinai, a ma kahi hoano.
The chariots of God are tens of thousands— thousands of thousands are they; the Lord is in His sanctuary as He was at Sinai.
18 Ua pii ae oe iluna, ua lawe pio oe i ke pio ana; Ua loaa no ia oe na haawina no na kanaka, Oia, no ka poe kipikipi kekahi i noho pu mai ai ke Akua ka Haku.
You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.
19 E hoomaikaiia'ku ka Haku, ka mea i hooili ukana maluna o kakou i kela la i keia la, O ko kakou Akua e ola'i. (Sila)
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation.
20 O ko kakou Akua, oia ke Akua e ola'i; A no Iehova ka Haku ka puka ana ae no ka make.
Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.
21 E hana pepe ke Akua i ke poo o kona poe enemi, A me ka pua lauoho o ka mea e hele ana'e ma kona mau hewa.
Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.
22 I mai la ke Akua, Mai Basana mai e alakai hou mai au; E hoihoi mai no hoi au mailoko mai o na hohonu o ke kai.
The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,
23 I komo kou kapuwai iloko o ke koko o na enemi, A me ke alelo o kau mau ilio iloko o ia mea no.
that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
24 Ua ike lakou i kou hele ana, e ke Akua, Na hele ana o ko'u Akua, kuu Alii, ma kahi hoano.
They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.
25 Ua hele mua ae ka poe mele himeni, A mahope iho ka poe hookanikani i na kaula: A iwaena na kaikamahine e hookani timerela ana.
The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.
26 E hoomaikai aku oukou i ke Akua iloko o na auaina, A i ka Haku mai ke kumuwai o ka Iseraela.
Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.
27 Malaila o Beniamina ka mea uuku, o ko lakou alii kekahi, Na'lii o Iuda, ko lakou poe ahaolelo, Na'lii o Zebuluna, a me na'lii o Napetali.
There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.
28 Ua kauoha mai kou Akua i kou ikaika: E hookupaa mai, e ke Akua, i ka mea au i hana'i no makou.
Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.
29 No kou luakini ma Ierusalema, E lawe ai na'lii i na makana ia oe.
Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.
30 E papa mai oe i ka holoholona o na ohe, Ke anaina o na mea ikaika, iwaena o na bipi o na lahuikanaka; A hoohaahaa iho kela keia ia ia iho me na apana kala: E hooauhee liilii oe i na kanaka puni kaua.
Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31 E hele mai na luna mailoko mai o Aigupita; E kikoo wawe aku o Aitiopa i kona mau lima i ke Akua.
Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.
32 E oli aku i ke Akua, e na aupuni o ka honua, E himeni hoomaikai aku oukou i ka Haku; (Sila)
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—
33 I ka mea e holokaa ana ma na lani o na lani kahiko; Aia, ke hoopuka mai la oia i kona leo, he leo mana.
to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.
34 E haawi oukou no ke Akua ka mana; Maluna o ka Iseraela kona nani; O kona mana hoi, aia no i na ao.
Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.
35 He mea weliweli oe, e ke Akua, mailoko mai o kou wahi hoano: O ke Akua o ka Iseraela, oia ka mea i haawi mai i ka ikaika a me ka mana i kona poe kanaka. E hoomaikaiia'ku ke Akua.
O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
