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 Asaph. My people, attend to my teaching: bend 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;
as I open my mouth in a poem on the riddling story of the past.
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 known, and what our ancestors 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. We will tell to the next generation the praises and might of the Lord, and the wonders 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:
He set up a testimony in Jacob, a law he appointed in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors 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;
that the next generation should know it, that the children yet to be born should arise and tell 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 in God they might put their confidence, and not forget God’s works; but that they might 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 not be like their ancestors, a generation defiant and stubborn, a generation with heart unsteady, and spirit unfaithful towards God.
9 O na mamo a Eperaima i kahikoia i ke kakaka, Huli hope no lakou i ka la i kaua'i.
Ephraimites, armed bowmen, 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 did not keep God’s covenant, they refused to walk in his law.
11 Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
They forgot what he had done, 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.
He did wonders before their ancestors in the country of Zoan in Egypt.
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.
Through the sea which he split he brought them, making waters stand up like 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.
he led them by day with a cloud, 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.
From the rocks which he split in the wilderness, he gave them to drink as of ocean’s abundance.
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 out of the rock, and made water 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 still went on sinning against him, they defied 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 willfully challenged God, demanding the food that they longed for.
19 Hoowahawaha aku la lakou i ke Akua, i iho la, E hiki anei i ke Akua ke halii i papaaina ma ka waonahele?
“Is God able,” such was their challenge, “to spread in the desert a table?
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?
From the rock that he struck there gushed water, and torrents that overflowed; but can he also give bread, or provide his people with meat?”
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 the Lord heard this, he was furious, and fire was kindled on Jacob, anger flared up against Israel.
22 No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
For they put no trust in God, no confidence in his help.
23 Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
So he summoned the clouds above; and, opening 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.
he rained manna upon them for food, and grain of heaven he gave them.
25 Ai iho la na kanaka i ka ai a ka poe kiekie: Hoouka mai la oia i io na lakou a nui.
Everyone ate the bread of angels; 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 launched the east wind in the heavens, and guided the south by his power.
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 meat upon them like dust, winged bird 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.
In the midst of their camp he dropped it, all around their tents.
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.
They ate and were more than filled; he had brought them the thing they desired.
30 Aole nae lakou i huli, mai ko lakou kuko ana; I ka wa e waiho ana ka ai i ko lakou waha,
But the thing they desired became loathsome: while their food was still 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.
the wrath of God rose against them. He slew the stoutest among them, and laid low 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.
Yet for all this they sinned yet more, and refused to believe 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.
So he ended their days in a breath, and their years in sudden dismay.
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 they sought after him, they turned and sought God with diligence.
35 Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
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.
Their heart was not steady with him, they were faithless to 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 is full of pity: he pardons sin and destroys not. Often he turns his anger away, without stirring his wrath at all.
39 No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
So he remembered that they were but flesh, breath that passes and does not return.
40 Me he aha la la ko lakou kipikipi ana ia ia ma ka waonahele? A hoonaukiuki ia ia ma ka waoakua?
But how often they rebelled in the desert, and caused him grief in the wilderness,
41 A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
tempting God again and again, provoking 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 strength, nor the day he redeemed from the foe,
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, in the country of Zoan his wonders.
44 Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
He turned their canals into blood, their streams undrinkable.
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 forth flies, which devoured them; frogs, too, 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.
Their crops he gave to the caterpillar, and the fruits of their toil to the locust.
47 Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
He slew 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 delivered their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to bolts of fire.
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 his hot anger among them, fury and wrath and distress, a band of destroying angels.
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 cleared a path for his anger, did not spare them from death, but gave them over to pestilence.
51 A pepehi no hoi i na hiapo a pau o Aigupita, O na poo ikaika ma na halelewa o Hama.
He struck down 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.
He led forth his people like sheep, he was guide to his flock in the desert.
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.
Securely he led them, and free from fear, while their foes were drowned in the sea.
54 Hoohele oia ia lakou i kona aina hoano, I keia mauna hoi a kona lima akau i hookumu ai.
To his holy realm he brought them, to the mountain his right hand had purchased.
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 drove out the nations before them, and allotted their land for possession, and their tents for Israel to live in.
56 Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
Yet they tempted and angered the Most High God, they did not observe his decrees.
57 Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
They drew back, false like their ancestors; they failed like a treacherous bow.
58 Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i ko lakou wahi kiekie, A hoolili no hoi ia ia i ko lakou poe kii kalaiia.
Their shrines stirred him to anger, their idols moved him to jealousy.
59 A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
When God heard of this, he was furious, and he spurned Israel utterly.
60 Nolaila, haalele iho la oia i ka halelewa o Silo, I ka halelole hoi kahi ana i noho ai iwaena o na kanaka,
He abandoned his home in Shiloh, the tent he had pitched among people.
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.
He gave his strength up to captivity, his glory to the hands of the foe.
62 Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
He gave his people to the sword, he was furious with his own.
63 Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
Fire devoured their young men, and their maidens 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 could 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 the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a warrior flushed with 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 beat back his foes, putting them to perpetual scorn.
67 Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
He disowned the tent of Joseph, he rejected 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 he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves.
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 the heights his sanctuary, like the earth which he founded forever.
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, taking 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 the mother-ewes he brought him, to be shepherd to Jacob his people, and to 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.
With upright heart did he shepherd them, and with skilful hands did he guide them.
