Halelu 69
1 E HOOLA mai ia'u, e ke Akua; No ka mea, ua komo mai na wai i ko'u uhane.
“For the leader of the music. Upon the Shoshannim. A psalm of David.” Save me, O God! For the waters press in to my very life!
2 Ke palemo nei au i ka lepo poho hohonu, kahi e ku ole ai: Ua hiki mai nei au i na wai hohonu; Ke kahe nei no hoi na muliwai maluna o'u.
I sink in deep mire, where is no standing; I have come into deep waters, and the waves flow over me.
3 Ua luhi au i kuu kahea ana aku, ua maloo kuu puu: Pau e kuu mau maka i ko'u kali ana no kuu Akua.
I am weary with crying; my throat is parched; Mine eyes are wasted, while I wait for my God.
4 Ua lehulehu aku i na lauoho o kuu poo ka poe huhu hala ole mai ia'u; Ua ikaika hoi ka poe manao e pepehi mai ia'u, e ku e hewa mai ana ia'u: Alaila hoihoi aku au i ka mea a'u i kaili ole ai.
More numerous than the hairs of my head are they who hate me without reason; Mighty are they who seek to destroy me, being my enemies without cause: I must restore what I took not away.
5 E ke Akua, ua ike mai oe i ko'u naaupo: Aole hoi i nalo ko'u mau hewa ia oe.
O God! thou knowest my offences, And my sins are not hidden from thee!
6 Mai noho a hoohilahilaia no'u nei ka poe hilinai ia oe, e ka Haku, Iehova Sabaota. Mai noho a hoohokaia no'u nei ka poe imi ia oe, e ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Let not them that trust in thee through me be put to shame, O Lord Jehovah, God of hosts! Let not them that seek thee through me be confounded, O God of Israel!
7 No ka mea, nou la i halihali ai au i ka hoinoia; Ua uhi mai ka hilahila i ko'u maka.
For on account of thee do I suffer reproach, And shame covereth my face!
8 Ua lilo au i malihini i ko'u mau hoahanau, He kanaka e hoi i na keiki a ko'u makuwahine.
I am become a stranger to my brothers; Yea, an alien to my mother's sons.
9 No ka mea, ua hoopauia au e ka manao ikaika no kou hale: A o na hoino ana o ka poe hoino ia oe, ua haule mai ia maluna iho o'u.
For zeal for thy house consumeth me, And the reproaches of them that reproach thee fall upon me.
10 A uwe au, a hahau hoi i kuu uhane me ka hookeai ana, Oia ka'u mea i hoinoia mai ai.
When I weep and fast, That is made my reproach;
11 A aahu iho la au i ke kapa ino; Lilo au i mea hoohiki wale ia.
When I clothe myself in sackcloth, Then I become their by-word.
12 Ua olelo ku e mai ia'u ka poe noho ma ka ipuka; A lilo hoi au i mele na ka poe inu i ka mea ona.
They who sit in the gate speak against me, And I am become the song of drunkards.
13 Aka, owau nei la, aia ia oe ka'u pule, o Iehova, I ka wa maliuia; E ke Akua, ma ka nui o kou aloha, e hoolohe mai ia'u, I ka oiaio o kou ola.
Yet will I address my prayer to thee, O LORD! May it be in an acceptable time according to thy great goodness! Hear, O God! and afford me thy sure help!
14 E hoopakele ia'u i ka lepo poho, aole hoi au e palemo: E hoopakeleia au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u, a i na wai hohonu.
Save me from the mire, and let me not sink; May I be delivered from my enemies, —from the deep waters!
15 Mai noho a kahe ka waikahe maluna o'u; Mai noho a ale mai ka hohonu ia'u; Aole hoi e pani ka lua i kona waha maluna o'u.
Let not the water-flood overflow me; Let not the deep swallow me up, And let not the pit close her mouth upon me!
16 E hoolohe mai ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, he pono kou lokomaikai; Mamuli o ka nui loa o kou aloha, e maliu mai ia'u.
Hear me, O LORD! since great is thy loving-kindness; According to the abundance of thy tender mercies look upon me!
17 Mai hoonalo i kou maka i kau kauwa; No ka mea, ua pilikia au: E hoolohe koke mai oe ia'u.
Hide not thy face from thy servant; I am greatly distressed, O make haste to mine aid!
18 E hookokoke mai i kuu uhane, a e hoola mai ia ia: E hoopakele ia'u no ko'u poe enemi.
Draw near to me, and redeem my life; Deliver me because of my enemies!
19 Ua ike ae nei oe i ko'u hoinoia, ko'u hoohilahilaia, a me ko'u heneheneia: Imua no hoi ou ko'u mau enemi a pau.
Thou knowest my reproach, and dishonor, and shame; All my adversaries are in thy view!
20 Ua haehae ko'u naau i ka hoinoia mai, a kaumaha loa au; Kali aku la au i mea e menemene mai, aole hoi; A i mau mea hooluolu mai, aole i loaa ia'u.
Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness; I look for pity, but there is none; For comforters, but find none.
21 Ua haawi mai la lakou i ka mea awahia i ai na'u; A i kuu makewai ana ua hoohainu mai lakou ia'u i ka vinega.
For my food they give me gall, And in my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.
22 E lilo no ko lakou papaaina i pahele imua o lakou: A o ko lakou uku i mea e hihia ai.
May their table be to them a snare; May it be a trap to them, while they are at ease!
23 E hoopouliia ko lakou mau maka i ike ole lakou; A e hoohaalulu mau no hoi oe i ko lakou mau puhaka.
May their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; And cause their loins continually to shake!
24 E ninini iho no oe i kou inaina maluna o lakou; A e loohia lakou i kou huhu wela.
Pour out upon them thine indignation, And may the heat of thine anger overtake them!
25 E neoneo no hoi ko lakou hale; Aohe mea e noho iloko o ko lakou mau halelewa.
Let their habitation be desolate, And let none dwell in their tents!
26 No ka mea, ua alualu hewa lakou i ka mea au i hahau ai; A kamailio lakou he mea kaumaha no na mea au e hoeha mai.
For they persecute those whom thou hast smitten, And talk of the pain of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 E hookui i ka hewa maluna o ko lakou hewa: Aole hoi lakou e komo iloko o kou hoaponoia.
Add iniquity to their iniquity, And let them never come into thy favor!
28 E hoonaloia lakou mailoko aku o ka buke a ka poe ola, Aole lakou e kakau pu ia me ka poe pono.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; Let not their names be written with the righteous!
29 Aka, ua ilihune au a ua kaumaha no hoi; E hookiekie kou ola ia'u, e ke Akua.
But I am poor, and sorrowful: May thine aid, O God! set me on high!
30 E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o ke Akua, ma ka himeni; A e hoonui aku ia ia me ka hoomaikai ana.
Then I will praise the name of God in a song; I will give glory to him with thanksgiving.
31 Ua oi aku ka pono o keia ia Iehova mamua o ka bipi kane, A o ka bipi opiopio mea pepeiaohao me na maiuu.
More pleasing shall this be to the LORD Than a full-horned and full-hoofed bullock.
32 E ike hoi ka poe hoohaahaa, a e hauoli hoi: E imi ana i ke Akua, e ola ko oukou naau.
The afflicted shall see, and rejoice; The hearts of them that fear God shall be revived.
33 No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai o Iehova i ka poe ilihune; Aole hoi ia i hoowahawaha i kona poe i hoopaaia.
For the LORD heareth the poor, And despiseth not his people in their bonds.
34 E hoomaikai ka lani a me ka honua ia ia; O na kai, a me na mea a pau e holo ana maloko olaila.
Let the heaven and the earth praise him; The sea, and all that move therein!
35 No ka mea, e hoola no ke Akua ia Ziona, A e kukulu hoi i na kulanakauhale o Iuda; I noho lakou ilaila, a e lilo ia no lakou.
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell therein, and possess it.
36 E loaa mai no hoi ia i na hua a kana mau kauwa: A malaila e noho ai ka poe makemake i kona inoa.
Yea, the posterity of his servants shall possess it, And they that love him shall dwell therein.
