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.
“A Maskil of Assaph.” Give ear, O my people, to my instruction: incline thy ear 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 with a parable my mouth: I will utter riddles out of ancient times;
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 know, and which our fathers have related unto 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 conceal them from their children, relating to the latest generation the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful deeds which he hath 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:
Yea, he established a testimony in Jacob, and instituted a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 I ike ka hanauna hope loa aku, E ku mai hoi na keiki i hanau mai a hoike i ka lakou mau keiki;
In order that the latest generation might know them, even the children that are to be born; that they may arise and relate them to their children;
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 may place in God their hope, and not forget the doings of God, but observe 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 that they may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that had not directed their heart firmly, and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9 O na mamo a Eperaima i kahikoia i ke kakaka, Huli hope no lakou i ka la i kaua'i.
The children of Ephraim, like well-armed archers, that turn round on the day of battle,
10 Aole lakou i malama i ka berita o ke Akua, A hoole lakou i ka hele ma kona kanawai:
Kept not the covenant of God, and in his law they refused to walk;
11 Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
And they forgot his deeds, as also his wonders, which he had permitted them to see.
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.
In the presence of their fathers did he do wonders, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zo'an.
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 stand upright as a wall.
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.
And he led them with the cloud by day, 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 as out of the mighty deep.
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.
And he brought forth running streams out of the rock, and caused water 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.
But they repeated to sin yet more against him, rebelling 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 tempted God in their heart, by asking food for 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, Will God be able to set in order 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: shall he also be able to give bread? or can 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, when the Lord heard this, he became wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also ascended against Israel,
22 No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
Because they had not believed in God, and had not trusted in his salvation.
23 Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
Then he ordained the skies from above, and the doors of heaven he opened;
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 let rain down upon them manna to eat, and the corn of heaven gave he unto them.
25 Ai iho la na kanaka i ka ai a ka poe kiekie: Hoouka mai la oia i io na lakou a nui.
Angels' bread did man eat: he sent them provision to satisfaction.
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 an east wind to pass along the heavens; and he led forth by his strength 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.
And he let rain upon them flesh [as plentiful] as the dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea;
28 Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
And he let them 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.
And they ate, and were greatly satisfied, and what they longed for he brought unto them.
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 their longing, yet was their food in their mouth:
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 wrath of God ascended against them, and he slew some of the fattest of them, and the young men of Israel did he strike down.
32 Aka, ma ia mau mea a pau, hana hewa hou iho la no lakou, Aole i manaoio i kana mau hana kupanaha.
With all this they sinned again, and believed not in his wonders.
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 caused their days to come to an end in nought, and their years in dread.
34 Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
When he slew them, then did they seek him, and they returned and inquired earnestly after God.
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.
Nevertheless they prayed insincerely to him with their mouth, and with their tongue they lied unto him.
37 Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
For their heart was not firm with him, and they were not 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 the iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not awaken all his fury.
39 No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
And he remembered that they are but flesh, a spirit that passeth away, and returneth 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 oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, grieve him in the desert!
41 A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
Yea, they once more tempted God, and set limits to 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 remembered not his hand, the day when he ransomed 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:
When he displayed in Egypt his signs, and his wonderful tokens in the fields of Zo'an.
44 Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
And he changed their rivers into blood; and their running streams, that they could not drink [of them].
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 out among them various wild beasts, 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.
And he gave unto the cricket their products, and their labor unto the locust.
47 Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
He slew with hail their vines, and their sycamore-trees with ice-bolts.
48 Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
And he surrendered to the hail their cattle, and their herds to the lightning's flashes.
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 let loose against them the fierceness of his anger, wrath and indignation, and distress, a host of angels of misfortune.
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 leveled a path for his anger; he withheld not from death their soul, and their life he surrendered 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 he smote all the first-born in Egypt; the first 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 caused his own people to depart like flocks, and guided them like a drove in the wilderness.
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 in safety, so that they felt no dread; but the sea covered over 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 his holy territory, even to this mount, which his right hand had acquired.
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.
And he drove out from before them nations, and divided them by the measuring-line as an inheritance, and he caused to dwell in their tents the tribes of Israel.
56 Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
Yet they tempted and rebelled against the most high God, and his testimonies they kept not;
57 Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
But swerved aside, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers; they turned about 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.
And they provoked him to anger with their high-places, and with their graven images they moved him to jealousy.
59 A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
God heard this, and he became wroth, and felt greatly disgusted with 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,
And he cast off the dwelling at Shiloh, the tabernacle where he had dwelt 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 he gave up his strength unto captivity, and his glory into the adversary's hand.
62 Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
And he surrendered his people unto the sword; and with his inheritance was he wroth.
63 Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
His young men the fire devoured; and his virgins were not demanded in marriage.
64 Haule no hoi kona poe kahuna i ka pahikaua; Aole nae i kanikau kona poe wahiue kanemake.
His priests fell by the sword; and his widows did not weep.
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 awoke the Lord as one that sleepeth, like a mighty man that shouteth by reason 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 enemies backward: a perpetual disgrace on them.
67 Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
Yet was he disgusted with the tent of Joseph, and of the tribe of Ephraim he made not choice;
68 Aka, wae no ia i ka ohana o Iuda, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona ana i aloha'i.
But he 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 like high [mountains] his sanctuary, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.
70 Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
And he made choice of David his servant, and took him from the sheep-folds:
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.
From following the ewes with young he brought him, to feed 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.
And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and by the skilfulness of his hands did he lead them.
