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 psalm of Asaph.” Give ear, O my people, to my instruction! 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 a psalm; I will utter sayings 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.
What we have heard and learned, 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 from their children; Showing to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, His might, and the wonders he hath wrought.
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 appointed statutes in Jacob, And established a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers To make 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;
So that the generation to come might know them; The children, which should be born, and rise up, Who should declare 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 might put their trust in God, And not forget his deeds, 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, like their forefathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, —A generation whose heart was not fixed upon God, And whose spirit was not steadfast toward the Almighty.
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 were like armed bowmen, Who turn their backs 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 forgot his mighty deeds, And the wonders 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.
Marvellous things did he 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; Yea, 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.
By day he led them by a cloud, And all the night by 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 clave the rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink, as from the great 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.
From the rock he brought flowing streams, And made 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.
Yet still they sinned against him, And provoked 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.
They tempted God in their hearts, By asking food for their delight.
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 spake against God, and said, “Can God spread 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, and the water flowed, And streams gushed forth: Is he also able to give bread? 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:
When, therefore, the LORD heard this, he was wroth: So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger arose against Israel.
22 No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his aid.
23 Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
Yet he had commanded the clouds above, And had 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 had rained down upon them manna for food, And had given them the corn of heaven.
25 Ai iho la na kanaka i ka ai a ka poe kiekie: Hoouka mai la oia i io na lakou a nui.
Every one ate the food of princes; He sent them bread 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.
Then he caused a strong wind to blow in the heavens, And by his power he brought a 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 rained down flesh upon them as dust, And feathered fowls as 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.
He caused them to 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 did eat, and were filled; For 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,
Their desire was not yet satisfied, And their meat 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 wrath of God came upon them, And slew their strong men, And smote down the chosen 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 sinned still, And put no trust 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 sudden destruction.
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, they sought him; They returned, and sought earnestly for God;
35 Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
And remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High 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 only flattered him with their mouths, And spake falsely to him with their tongues.
37 Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
For their hearts were not true to him, Nor were they steadfast 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.
Yet, being full of compassion, he forgave their iniquity, And would not utterly destroy them; Often he restrained his indignation, And stirred not up all his anger.
39 No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
He remembered that they were but flesh, —A breath, that passeth and cometh not back.
40 Me he aha la la ko lakou kipikipi ana ia ia ma ka waonahele? A hoonaukiuki ia ia ma ka waoakua?
How often did they provoke him in the wilderness! How often did they anger him in the desert!
41 A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
Again and again they tempted God, And offended 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, Nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy;
43 I ka manawa ana i kau ai i kona mau hoailona ma Aigupita, A me kana hana kupanaha ma ke kula o Zoana:
What signs he had wrought in Egypt, And what wonders in the fields of Zoan.
44 Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
He turned their rivers into blood, So that they could not drink of their streams.
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 amongst them 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 gave also their fruits 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 up their cattle to 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 sent against them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and woe, —A host of angels 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 way for his anger, He spared them not from death, But gave up their lives to the pestilence.
51 A pepehi no hoi i na hiapo a pau o Aigupita, O na poo ikaika ma na halelewa o Hama.
He smote all the firstborn in Egypt; The first-fruits 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 like a flock 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.
He led them on safely, so that they feared not, While 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.
He brought them to his own sacred border, Even to this mountain which his right hand had gained.
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 cast out the nations before them, And divided their land by a measuring-line, as an inheritance, And caused 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 tempted and provoked God, the Most High, And kept not his statutes;
57 Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
Like their fathers they were faithless, and turned back; They 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.
They provoked his anger by their high places, And stirred up his jealousy by their graven images.
59 A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
God saw this, and was wroth, 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 habitation at Shiloh, The tabernacle where he 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 delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the hand of the enemy.
62 Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
His own people he gave up to the sword, And was wroth with his own inheritance.
63 Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
Fire consumed their young men, And their maidens did not bewail them.
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.
But at length the Lord awaked as from sleep, As a hero who had been overpowered by wine;
66 Alaila, pehi ae la oia i kona poe enemi ma ko lakou hope; Haawi no ia i hilahila mau loa lakou.
He smote his enemies, and drove them back, And covered them with everlasting disgrace.
67 Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
Yet he rejected the tents 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.
Where he built, like the heavens, his sanctuary; Like the earth, which he hath established for ever.
70 Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
And he 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.
From tending the suckling ewes 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.
He fed them with an upright heart, And guided them with skilful hands.
