Halelu 78
1 E NA kanaka o'u, e hoolohe mai oukou i ko'u kanawai; E haliu mai hoi i ko oukou pepeiao i na olelo a ko'u waha.
Give ear, O my people, to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 E hooaka ae au i kuu waha ma na himeni, A e hai aku hoi i na mele kahiko;
I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter dark sayings of old,
3 I na mea a kakou i lohe ai, a i ike ai hoi, A ua hai mai no ko kakou poe makua ia kakou.
which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 Aole kakou e huna, mai ka lakou poe keiki, A hiki aku i ka hanauna hope loa, I ka hoike ana aku i na halelu no Iehova, A me kona ikaika, a me na mea kupanaha ana i hana'i.
We will not hide them from their sons, telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.
5 Hoopaa oia i mea hoike no ka Iakoba, A kau no hoi oia i kanawai no ka Iseraela, A kauoha mai la i na kupuna o kakou, E ao ae lakou ia mea i ka lakou poe keiki:
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their sons,
6 I ike ka hanauna hope loa aku, E ku mai hoi na keiki i hanau mai a hoike i ka lakou mau keiki;
that the generation to come might know, even the sons who should be born, who should arise and tell to their sons,
7 I kau aku ko lakou manaolana i ke Akua, Aole hoi e poina na hana a ke Akua, Aka, e malama i kana mau kauoha:
that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,
8 I like ole lakou me ko lakou poe kupuna, He hanauna ku e, a kipi hoi; He hanauna hooponopono ole i ko lakou naau, A hilinai ole hoi ko lakou naau i ke Akua.
and might not be as their fathers: a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 O na mamo a Eperaima i kahikoia i ke kakaka, Huli hope no lakou i ka la i kaua'i.
The sons of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10 Aole lakou i malama i ka berita o ke Akua, A hoole lakou i ka hele ma kona kanawai:
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law.
11 Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
And they forgot his doings, and his wondrous works that he had shown them.
12 Hana iho la no oia i na mea kupanaha imua o ko lakou poe makua, Ma ka aina o Aigupita, ma ke kula hoi o Zoana.
He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13 Mahele ae la oia i ke kai, a alakai mai la ia lakou; Hooku ae la oia i na wai me he puu la.
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through. And he made the waters to stand as a heap.
14 Ma ke ao oia i alakai mai ai ia lakou i ke ao, Ma ka malamalama o ke ahi hoi i na po a pau.
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15 Wahi ae la oia i na pohaku ma ka waonahele, Hoohainu mai oia, e like me na ale nui.
He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
16 Hoopuka ae la oia i na wai kahe mailoko mai o ka pohaku, A kahe mai la na wai e like me na muliwai.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 Hana hewa hou aku la lakou ia ia, I ke ku e ana i ka Mea kiekie ma ka waoakua.
Yet they went on to still sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18 Hoao aku la lakou i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau, I ka nonoi ana i ai, no ko lakou kuko iho.
And they challenged God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
19 Hoowahawaha aku la lakou i ke Akua, i iho la, E hiki anei i ke Akua ke halii i papaaina ma ka waonahele?
Yea, they spoke against God. They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 Aia hoi! hahau ae la oia i ka pohaku, a kahe iho la na wai, A huliamahi mai la na wai kahe; E hiki anei ia ia ke haawi mai i ka ai? A e hoomakaukau hoi i ia no kona poe kanaka?
Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?
21 Nolaila, lohe mai la o Iehova a huhu iho la; A hoaia ke ahi maloko o ka Iakoba, A pii ae la ka huhu maluna o ka Iseraela:
Therefore Jehovah heard, and was angry. And a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel,
22 No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in his salvation.
23 Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24 A ua hooua mai oia maluna o lakou, i mane e ai ai, A ua haawi mai i ka hua palaoa o ka lani na lakou.
and he rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them food from heaven.
25 Ai iho la na kanaka i ka ai a ka poe kiekie: Hoouka mai la oia i io na lakou a nui.
Man ate the bread of the mighty. He sent them food to the full.
26 Hoopa mai la oia i ko ka hikina makani ma ka lani: A i kona ikaika, kai mai la oia i ka makani o ke kukuluhema.
He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he guided the south wind.
27 A hooua mai oia i ka io maluna o lakou me he lepo la, A me na manu hulu, e like me ke one o ke kai.
He also rained flesh upon them as the dust, and winged birds as the sand of the seas.
28 Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp round about their habitations.
29 A ai iho la lakou, a maona loa ae la: Hoopuka mai no oia na lakou i ka mea a lakou i kuko ai.
So they ate, and were well filled, and he gave them their own desire.
30 Aole nae lakou i huli, mai ko lakou kuko ana; I ka wa e waiho ana ka ai i ko lakou waha,
They were not estranged from that which they desired. Their food was yet in their mouths
31 Kau mai la ka huhu o ke Akua maluna o lakou, A luku iho la oia i ko lakou poe ikaika; A hookulou no hoi i ka poe i waeia o ka Iseraela.
when the anger of God went up against them, and killed of the fattest of them, and smote down the young men of Israel.
32 Aka, ma ia mau mea a pau, hana hewa hou iho la no lakou, Aole i manaoio i kana mau hana kupanaha.
For all this they still sinned, and did not believe in his wondrous works.
33 Nolaila, haawi oia i ka noho makehewa ana i ko lakou mau la, A me ka wiwo wale, i ko lakou mau makahiki.
Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
34 Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
When he killed them, then they inquired after him, and they returned and sought God earnestly.
35 Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.
36 Aka, hoomalimali aku lakou ia ia ma ko lakou waha A wahahee aku no hoi ia ia ma ko lakou alelo.
But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
37 Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
For their heart was not right with him, nor were they faithful in his covenant.
38 Lokomaikai mai no nae oia, a kala mai i ka hala, Aole i anai mai ia lakou: Hoohuli pinepine aku oia i kona huhu, Aole i hoala i kona inaina a pau.
But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and destroyed not. Yea, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
And he remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and comes not again.
40 Me he aha la la ko lakou kipikipi ana ia ia ma ka waonahele? A hoonaukiuki ia ia ma ka waoakua?
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
41 A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
And they turned again and challenged God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 Aole lakou i hoomanao i kona lima, I ka la ana i hoopakele ai ia lakou i ka pilikia,
They did not remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary,
43 I ka manawa ana i kau ai i kona mau hoailona ma Aigupita, A me kana hana kupanaha ma ke kula o Zoana:
how he set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan,
44 Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
and turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
45 Hoouka ae la oia i ka makika maluna o lakou, A nahu iho la oia ia lakou; A me na rana hoi, a hooki loa oia mau mea ia lakou.
He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 Haawi ae la oia i ka lakou ai na ke poko, A me ka mea a lakou i hooikaika'i na ka uhini.
He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
47 Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.
48 Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
He also gave over their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49 Hoouka ae la oia maluna o lakou, i ka wela o kona huhu, A me ka ukiuki, a me ka inaina, a me ka popilikia, A hoouna mai no hoi i na elele ino.
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a band of agents of evil.
50 Hoomakaukau iho la oia i ke ala no kona huhu, Aole ia i kaohi i ko lakou uhane mai ka make mai; Aka, haawi no oia i ko lakou ola i ka mai ahulan;
He made a path for his anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
51 A pepehi no hoi i na hiapo a pau o Aigupita, O na poo ikaika ma na halelewa o Hama.
and smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52 Kai mai la oia i kona poe kanaka me he poe hipa la, A alakai no hoi ia lakou ma ka waonahele me he ohana la.
But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 Alakai oia ia lakou i ka malu, i ole ai lakou e makau: Aka, poi mai ke kai maluna o ko lakou poe enemi.
And he led them safely, so that they feared not, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 Hoohele oia ia lakou i kona aina hoano, I keia mauna hoi a kona lima akau i hookumu ai.
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.
55 Kipaku aku la oia i ko na aina e, mai ko lakou alo aku, Mahele ae la oia ma ke kaula-ana i ka ilina no lakou, A hoonoho iho la i na ohana o ka Iseraela iloko o ko lakou mau halelewa.
He also drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56 Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
Yet they challenged and rebelled against the Most High God, and kept not his testimonies,
57 Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58 Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i ko lakou wahi kiekie, A hoolili no hoi ia ia i ko lakou poe kii kalaiia.
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59 A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
When God heard, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,
60 Nolaila, haalele iho la oia i ka halelewa o Silo, I ka halelole hoi kahi ana i noho ai iwaena o na kanaka,
so that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,
61 A haawi no hoi i kona mea hanohano i ke pio ana, A me kona mea nani iloko o ka lima o ka enemi.
and delivered their strength into captivity, and their glory into the adversary's hand.
62 Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
63 Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
Fire devoured their young men, and their virgins had no marriage-song.
64 Haule no hoi kona poe kahuna i ka pahikaua; Aole nae i kanikau kona poe wahiue kanemake.
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.
65 Alaila ala ae la ka Haku me he mea la mai kona hiamoe ana, Me he kanaka ikaika la hoi i ona i ka waina.
Then the Lord awoke as out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
66 Alaila, pehi ae la oia i kona poe enemi ma ko lakou hope; Haawi no ia i hilahila mau loa lakou.
And he smote his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
67 Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,
68 Aka, wae no ia i ka ohana o Iuda, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona ana i aloha'i.
but chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69 Hana oia i kona wahi hoano e like me na wahi kiekie, E like hoi me ka honua ana i hookumu mau loa'i.
And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
70 Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.
71 Mai ka hahai ana i na hipa mea keiki, ua lawe oia ia ia, E hanai i ka Iakoba, i na kanaka ona, I ka Iseraela hoi, i kona hooilina.
He brought him from following the ewes that have their young, to be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72 Hanai mai la oia ia lakou e like me ka pono o kona naau; A alakai ae la ia lakou ma ke akamai o kona mau lima.
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
