Halelu 7
1 E IEHOVA e ko'u Akua, ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe: E hoopakele oe ia'u i ka poe a pau nana au i hoomaau mai; E hoola mai hoi oe ia'u;
“A Shiggayon of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the affairs of Cush the Benjamite.” O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust; save me from every one of my persecutors, and deliver me:
2 O haehae mai oia i ko'u uhane me he liona la, A mokumoku au, aohe mea e ola'i.
Lest he tear like a lion my soul, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
3 E Iehova e ko'u Akua, iua i hana au i keia; Ina he hewa iloko o ko'u mau lima;
O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be injustice in my hands;
4 Ina i hoihoi aku au i ka hewa i ko'u hoaaloha; A i lawe wale i ka ka mea i huhu hala ole mai ia'u;
If I have recompensed him that was at peace with me with evil; If I have taken aught from my assailants without cause:
5 E pono e alualu mai ka enemi i ko'u uhane, a e hopu mai ia'u; A e hehi mai hoi ia i ko'u ola ilalo i ka honua, A e waiho iho hoi i ko'u uani malalo o ka lepo. (Sila)
May the enemy hotly pursue my soul, and overtake it; and tread down upon the earth my life, and cause my honor to be in the dust. (Selah)
6 E ku oe iluna, e Iehova, i kou huhu, E hookiekie ae ia oe iho no ka hookano o ko'u poe enemi: E ala'e oe no'u i ka hookolokolo au i olelo mai ai.
Arise, O Lord, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Oia, e hoopuni ai ke anainakanaka ia oe: Nolaila e hoi oe i kahi kiekie no lakou.
So shall the congregation of nations compass thee about: and for their sakes return thou to the height.
8 E hookolokolo o Iehova i na kanaka; E hoopono mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, E like me ko'u pono, a me ko'u oiaio iloko o'u.
The Lord will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [grant] me [recompense].
9 Ke pule nei au e oki ka hana hewa o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa oe i ka poe pono; No ka mea, na ke Akua pono i hoao na naau a me na puupaa.
Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just, O thou, who triest the hearts and reins, O righteous God.
10 O ko'u paku, aia no i ke Akua, Nana i hoola ka poe naau kupono.
My protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.
11 Ua malama mai ke Akua i ka poe pono, Ua huhu mai ke Akua i ka hewa i na la a pau.
God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant [with the wicked] every day.
12 Ina i huli ole ia, e hookala no ia i kana pahikaua; Ua lena oia i kana kakaka, ua hooponopono no ia.
If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.
13 Ua hoomakaukau no hoi ia i na mea e make ai nona; Ke pana iho la oia i na pua ahi.
Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Aia hoi, ua nahunahu ia i ka hewa, Ua hookauhua no ia i ka ino, A ua hanau mai no hoi ia i ka wahahee.
Behold, he travaileth with wrong doing; but he hath conceived mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
15 Ua eli iho la oia i ka lua a poopoo, Ua haule iho la no ia ilalo o ka auwaha ana i hana'i.
He hath hollowed out a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he hath wrought.
16 E huli hou iho kana hana hewa ana maluna ona iho, A e haule iho hoi kona kolohe ana maluna o kona poo iho.
His mischief will return upon his own head, and upon his own skull will his violence come down.
17 E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova no kona pono, E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o Iehova ke Kiekie loa.
I will thank the Lord according to his righteousness; and I will sing praises to the name of the Lord the Most High.
