Halelu 77
1 KAHEA aku la au i ke Akua ma ko'u leo, Ma ko'u leo i ke Akua, a hoolohe mai la ia ia'u.
For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will lift up my voice unto God, and cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.
2 I ko'u la i popilikia ai, nonoi aku la au i ka Haku: Kikoo aku la kuu lima i ka po, aole i haule: Hoole iho la kuu naau, aole ia e hoomahaia.
In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted.
3 Hoomanao aku la au i ke Akua, a kupikipikio iho la; Noonoo aku la au, a maule iho la kuu naau. (Sila)
When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. (Selah)
4 Ua paa ia oe na alu o ko'u mau maka: Ua lauwiliia hoi au, aole hiki ke olelo aku.
Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.
5 Noonoo no au i na la kahiko, I na makahiki hoi o ka wa mamua loa aku.
I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 Hoomanao iho la au i kuu mele i ka po: Me kuu naau wau i kukakuka iho ai; Huli ikaika hoi ko'u manao.
In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:
7 E kipaku anei ka Haku i ka manawa pau ole? Aole anei ia e maliu hou mai?
'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?
8 Ua pauhia anei kona lokomaikai? Ua hala mau loa aku anei kana olelo?
Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?
9 Ua hoopoina anei ke Akua i ka lokomaikai? Ua puliki anei oia i kona aloha iloko o ka huhu? (Sila)
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' (Selah)
10 I aku la au, o ko'u nawaliwali keia, O na makahiki o ka lima akau o ka Mea kiekie loa.
And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.
11 E hoomanao aku au i na hana mana a Iehova: E hoomanaoio no hoi au i na mea kupanaha au, i ka wa kahiko.
I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.
12 E noonoo aku au i kau hana a pau, A e manao nui hoi i kau mau haua mana.
I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'
13 Aia kou aoao, e ke Akua, ma kahi hoano, Owai la ke Akua nui e like me ke Akua?
O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?
14 O oe ke Akua nana i hana na mea mana: Ua hoike mai no hoi oe i kou ikaika mawaena o na kanaka.
Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.
15 I kou lima iho no oe i panai ai i kou poe kanaka, I na mamo a Iseraela, a me Iosepa. (Sila)
Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Ike aku la na wai ia oe, e ke Akua; Ike aku la na wai ia oe, a haalulu iho la: Kupikipikio no hoi na hohonu.
The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.
17 Ninini mai la hoi na ao i ka wai: Hoohekili mai la hoi na ao; Hoholo ae la na uila ou.
The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.
18 Maloko o ka puahiohio ka leo o kou hekili: Hoomalamalama mai la na uila i ka honua: Naue iho la ka honua me ka haalulu.
The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19 Aia kou kuamoo ma ka moana, A o kou alanui hoi ma na wai nui; Aole i ikeia kou mau kapuwai.
Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.
20 Alakai aku no oe i kou poe me he ohana hipa la, Ma ka lima o Mose, ma laua o Aarona.
Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
