Halelu 74
1 E KE Akua, o ke aha kau mea e mamao mau loa aku ai? No ke aha la e wela mai ai kou huhu i na hipa o kou aina?
A maschil of Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
2 E hoomanao oe i kou ekalesia au i kuai kahiko loa ai, Ka ohana o kou hooilina au i kuai ai; O keia mauna Ziona kahi i noho ai oe.
Call to mind your people, whom you purchased in ancient times, the tribe whom you have redeemed to be your own heritage, and Mount Zion, where you live.
3 E hoeu i kou wawae i ka neoneo mau ana; I na mea a pau a ka enemi i hana hewa ai iloko e kou wahi hoano.
Come look at the complete ruins, all the damage that the enemy has done in the holy place.
4 Ua uwo kou poe enemi iloko o na anaina; Ua kau lakou i ko lakou mau hae i hoailona.
Your adversaries roared in the middle of your appointed place; they set up their battle flags.
5 Kaulana aku la ke kanaka, E like me kona hapai ana i na koi i na laau paapu.
They hacked away with axes as in a thick forest.
6 Aka ano, ke wawahi nei lakou i kona mea i kalaiia, Me na koi a me na hamare.
They smashed and broke down all the engravings; they broke them with axes and hammers.
7 Ua hoolei lakou i ke ahi iloko o kou wahi hoano, Ua hoohaumia lakou ilalo i ka lepo i ka halelewa o kou inoa.
They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrated where you live, knocking it to the ground.
8 I iho la lakou ma ko lakou naau, E luku pu kakou ia lakou; Ua hoopau i ke ahi i na halehalawai a pau o ke Akua ma ka aina.
They said in their hearts, “We will destroy them all.” They burned up all of your meeting places in the land.
9 Aole kakou i ike i ko kakou mau hoailona; Aole he kaula hou ae; Aohe mea iwaena o kakou i ike i ka loihi ana.
We do not see any more signs; there is no prophet any more, and no one among us knows how long this will last.
10 E ke Akua, pehea ka loihi o ko ka enemi hoino ana mai? E hoino wale anei ka enemi i kou inoa i ka manawa pau ole?
How long, God, will the enemy throw insults at you? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
11 No ke aha la oe i hoihoi aku ai i kou lima, i kou lima akau? E unuhi ae ia mai loko ae o kou poli.
Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take your right hand from your garment and destroy them.
12 No ka mea, o ke Akua ko'u Alii mai kinohi mai, E hana ana ma ke ola iwaena o ka honua.
Yet God has been my king from ancient times, bringing salvation on the earth.
13 Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kai me kou ikaika: Wawahi iho la oe i na poo o na kerokodila ma na wai.
You divided the sea by your strength; you smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
14 Ulupa iho la oe i na poo o ka leviatana, A haawi ia ia i ai na na kanaka o ka waonahele.
You crushed the heads of leviathan; you fed him to those living in the wilderness.
15 Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kumuwai me ka muliwai: Hoomaloo iho la oe i na waikahe ikaika.
You broke open springs and streams; you dried up flowing rivers.
16 Nou no ke ao, nou no hoi ka po: Ua hoomakaukau oe i ka malamalama a me ka la.
The day is yours, and the night is yours also; you set the sun and moon in place.
17 Ua hoonohonoho oe i na palena a pau o ka honua; Ua hana hoi oe i ka hoilo a me ka makalii.
You have set all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and winter.
18 E hoomanao oe i keia, ua hoino wale ka enemi, e Iehova, A ua kuamuamu wale na kanaka naaupo i kou inoa.
Call to mind how the enemy hurled insults at you, Yahweh, and that a foolish people has blasphemed your name.
19 Mai noho a haawi i ka uhane o kau manu nunu i ka poe ino: Mai hoopoina mau loa i ke anaina o kou poe ilihune.
Do not give the life of your dove to a wild animal. Do not forget forever the life of your oppressed people.
20 E manao mai oe i ka berita; No ka mea, ua paapu na wahi pouli o ka honua i na wahi e noho ai ka lalauwale.
Remember your covenant, for the dark regions of the land are full of places of violence.
21 Mai noho a hoi hou ka poe i hooluhihewaia me ka hilahila; Aka, e hoolea aku i kou inoa ka poe ilihune a me ka haahaa.
Do not let the oppressed be turned back in shame; let the poor and oppressed praise your name.
22 E ku iluna, e ko Akua, e hakaka i ko'u hakaka: E hoomanao i ko ke kanaka naaupo hoino wale ana ia oe i na la a pau.
Arise, God; defend your own honor; call to mind how fools insult you all day long.
23 Mai hoopoina i ka leo o kou poe enemi: Ke mahuahua mai nei ka haunaele ana o ka poe ku e ia oe.
Do not forget the voice of your adversaries or the uproar of those who continually defy you.
