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 chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of Asaph. I will call out with my voice to God; I will call with my voice to God, and my God will hear 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 sought the Lord; at night I stretched my hands out, and they would not become tired. My soul refused 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)
I thought of God as I groaned; I thought about him as I grew faint. (Selah)
4 Ua paa ia oe na alu o ko'u mau maka: Ua lauwiliia hoi au, aole hiki ke olelo aku.
You held my eyes open; I was too troubled to speak.
5 Noonoo no au i na la kahiko, I na makahiki hoi o ka wa mamua loa aku.
I thought about the days of old, about times long past.
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.
During the night I called to mind the song I once sang. I thought carefully and tried to understand what had happened.
7 E kipaku anei ka Haku i ka manawa pau ole? Aole anei ia e maliu hou mai?
Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me favor?
8 Ua pauhia anei kona lokomaikai? Ua hala mau loa aku anei kana olelo?
Was his covenant faithfulness gone forever? Had his promise failed forever?
9 Ua hoopoina anei ke Akua i ka lokomaikai? Ua puliki anei oia i kona aloha iloko o ka huhu? (Sila)
Had God forgotten to be gracious? Had his anger shut off his compassion? (Selah)
10 I aku la au, o ko'u nawaliwali keia, O na makahiki o ka lima akau o ka Mea kiekie loa.
I said, “This is my sorrow: the changing of the right hand of the Most High toward us.”
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.
But I will call to mind your deeds, Yahweh; I will think about your wonderful deeds of old.
12 E noonoo aku au i kau hana a pau, A e manao nui hoi i kau mau haua mana.
I will ponder all your deeds and will reflect on them.
13 Aia kou aoao, e ke Akua, ma kahi hoano, Owai la ke Akua nui e like me ke Akua?
Your way, God, is holy; what god compares to our great 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.
You are the God who does wonders; you have revealed your 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)
You gave your people victory by your great power— the descendants 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 you, God; the waters saw you, and they were afraid; the depths 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 poured down water; the cloudy skies gave voice; your arrows flew about.
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.
Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning lit 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.
Your path went through the sea and your way through the surging waters, but your footprints were not seen.
20 Alakai aku no oe i kou poe me he ohana hipa la, Ma ka lima o Mose, ma laua o Aarona.
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
