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 leader. Of David. A psalm. A song. God arises, his enemies scatter: they who hate him flee before him.
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 before wind is driven, as wax melts before fire, so before God vanish the wicked.
3 Aka, e olioli ka poe pono, e hauoli hoi imua o ke Akua; Oiaio, e hauoli loa lakou.
But the righteous rejoice in God’s presence, they exult with exceeding 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, make music to his name, his name is the Lord, praise him who rides on the clouds, and exult in his presence.
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.
Father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in his holy abode.
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 brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.
7 E ke Akua, i kou hele ana imua o kou poe kanaka, I kou eu ana'e iwaena o ka waonahele; (Sila)
God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, (Selah)
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.
earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai’s God at the presence of God, Israel’s God.
9 Hoohelelei iho la oe, e ke Akua, i ka ua nui, I hoomau ai oe i kou hooilina i kona nawaliwali ana.
Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.
10 Malaila i noho ai kou ekalesia; No kou maikai, e ke Akua, ua hoomakaukau oe no ka poe ilihune.
A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.
11 Haawi mai la ka Haku i ka olelo; He lehulehu loa ka poe i hoolaha.
The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army 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 of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:
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.
dove’s wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of 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;
set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.”
15 O ka mauna o ke Akua, ka mauna Basana: He mauna kiekie, ka mauna Basana.
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of 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.
You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live 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 twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.
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 did mount the height with trains of your captives, and gifts that you had received from the people. The rebels shall live with the Lord God.
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)
Blest be the Lord who sustains us daily, the God who is also our savior. (Selah)
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 who is savior. The ways of escape from death are known to the Lord God.
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.
Yes, God will shatter the head of his foes the rough scalp of those who strut on in their sins.
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 bring you home from Bashan, home 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 feet you may bathe in blood, and your dogs lick their share of the foe.”
24 Ua ike lakou i kou hele ana, e ke Akua, Na hele ana o ko'u Akua, kuu Alii, ma kahi hoano.
In the temple appear God’s triumphal processions, processions in praise of my king and my God,
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.
with singers in front, and minstrels behind, and maidens with timbrels between them, singing,
26 E hoomaikai aku oukou i ke Akua iloko o na auaina, A i ka Haku mai ke kumuwai o ka Iseraela.
“You of the well-spring of Israel, bless the Lord God in the dance.”
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, in front, is Benjamin the little, the princes of Judah beside them, the princes of Zebulon, princes 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.
God, show your strength, your godlike might, as you did in the past,
29 No kou luakini ma Ierusalema, E lawe ai na'lii i na makana ia oe.
from your temple that crowns Jerusalem. Kings shall bring tribute to you.
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 of the reed, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Trample down the lovers of lies. Scatter the nations whose joy is 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.
May they come from Egypt with gifts of oil, Ethiopia haste with full 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 you kingdoms of earth, make melody to the Lord. (Selah)
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.
Praise him who rides on the ancient heavens. See! He utters his voice, his mighty voice.
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 strength to the God over Israel, whose strength and majesty live 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.
Awe-inspiring is God in his holy place, it is Israel’s God who gives strength and might to his people. Blessed be God.
