Halelu 69
1 E HOOLA mai ia'u, e ke Akua; No ka mea, ua komo mai na wai i ko'u uhane.
To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.
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 have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown 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 have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting 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.
Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away — I bring back.
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 — Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
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 those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, 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 because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.
8 Ua lilo au i malihini i ko'u mau hoahanau, He kanaka e hoi i na keiki a ko'u makuwahine.
A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
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 hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
10 A uwe au, a hahau hoi i kuu uhane me ka hookeai ana, Oia ka'u mea i hoinoia mai ai.
And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11 A aahu iho la au i ke kapa ino; Lilo au i mea hoohiki wale ia.
And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
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.
Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
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.
And I — my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.
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.
Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of 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 a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut 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.
Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,
17 Mai hoonalo i kou maka i kau kauwa; No ka mea, ua pilikia au: E hoolohe koke mai oe ia'u.
And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress — haste, answer me.
18 E hookokoke mai i kuu uhane, a e hoola mai ia ia: E hoopakele ia'u no ko'u poe enemi.
Be near unto my soul — redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.
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 — Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee [are] all mine adversaries.
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 sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found 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.
And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.
22 E lilo no ko lakou papaaina i pahele imua o lakou: A o ko lakou uku i mea e hihia ai.
Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence — for a trap.
23 E hoopouliia ko lakou mau maka i ike ole lakou; A e hoohaalulu mau no hoi oe i ko lakou mau puhaka.
Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.
24 E ninini iho no oe i kou inaina maluna o lakou; A e loohia lakou i kou huhu wela.
Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
25 E neoneo no hoi ko lakou hale; Aohe mea e noho iloko o ko lakou mau halelewa.
Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.
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 have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.
27 E hookui i ka hewa maluna o ko lakou hewa: Aole hoi lakou e komo iloko o kou hoaponoia.
Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.
28 E hoonaloia lakou mailoko aku o ka buke a ka poe ola, Aole lakou e kakau pu ia me ka poe pono.
They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.
29 Aka, ua ilihune au a ua kaumaha no hoi; E hookiekie kou ola ia'u, e ke Akua.
And I [am] afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth 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.
I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify 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.
And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock — horned — hoofed.
32 E ike hoi ka poe hoohaahaa, a e hauoli hoi: E imi ana i ke Akua, e ola ko oukou naau.
The humble have seen — they rejoice, Ye who seek God — and your heart liveth.
33 No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai o Iehova i ka poe ilihune; Aole hoi ia i hoowahawaha i kona poe i hoopaaia.
For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised.
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.
The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
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 doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, 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.
And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His name dwell in it!
