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 maschil of Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people, listen 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 sing about hidden things about 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.
These are things that we have heard and learned, things that 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 keep them from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh, his strength, 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:
For he established covenant decrees in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors that they were to teach them 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;
He commanded this so that the generation to come might know his decrees, the children not yet born, who should tell them in turn to their own 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:
Then they would place their hope 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.
Then they would not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose hearts were not right, and whose spirits were not committed and 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 Ephraimites were armed with bows, but they turned back 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:
They did not keep the covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.
11 Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
They forgot his deeds, the wonderful things 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.
They forgot the marvelous things he did in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, in the land 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 led them across it; he made the waters to stand like walls.
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 he led them with a cloud and all the night with the 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 the rocks in the wilderness, and he gave them water abundantly, enough to fill the depths of the sea.
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 made streams flow out of the rock and made the water flow 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 continued to sin against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
18 Hoao aku la lakou i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau, I ka nonoi ana i ai, no ko lakou kuko iho.
They challenged God in their hearts by asking for food to satisfy their appetites.
19 Hoowahawaha aku la lakou i ke Akua, i iho la, E hiki anei i ke Akua ke halii i papaaina ma ka waonahele?
They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really lay out a table for us 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?
See, when he struck the rock, waters gushed out and streams overflowed. But can he give bread also? Will he provide meat 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 Yahweh heard this, he was angry; so his fire burned against Jacob, and his anger attacked 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 the sky.
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 down manna for them to eat, and gave them the grain 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.
People ate the bread of angels. He sent them food in abundance.
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 sky, 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 rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sands of the sea.
28 Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
They fell in the middle of their camp, 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.
So they ate and were full. He gave them what they craved.
30 Aole nae lakou i huli, mai ko lakou kuko ana; I ka wa e waiho ana ka ai i ko lakou waha,
But they had not yet filled up; 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.
Then God's anger attacked them and killed the strongest of them. He brought 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.
Despite this, they continued to sin and did not believe his wonderful deeds.
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 God cut short their days; their years were filled with terror.
34 Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
Whenever God afflicted them, they would start to seek him, and they would return and look earnestly for him.
35 Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
They would call to mind that God was their rock and that the Most High God was their rescuer.
36 Aka, hoomalimali aku lakou ia ia ma ko lakou waha A wahahee aku no hoi ia ia ma ko lakou alelo.
But they would flatter him with their mouth and lie to him with their words.
37 Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
For their hearts were not firmly fixed on him, and they were not faithful 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.
Yet he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. Yes, many times he held back his anger 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.
He called to mind that they were made of flesh, a wind that passes away 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?
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the barren regions!
41 A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
Again and again they challenged 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 did not think about his power, how he had rescued 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:
when he performed his terrifying signs in Egypt and his wonders in the region 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 the Egyptians' rivers to blood so that they could not drink from 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 swarms of flies that devoured them and frogs that overran their land.
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 their crops to the grasshopper 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 more hail.
48 Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
He rained hail on their cattle and hurled lightning bolts at their livestock.
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.
The fierceness of his anger lashed out against them. He sent wrath, fury, and trouble like agents who bring disaster.
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 did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague.
51 A pepehi no hoi i na hiapo a pau o Aigupita, O na poo ikaika ma na halelewa o Hama.
He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstborn 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 his own people out like sheep and guided them through 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.
He led them secure and unafraid, 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.
Then he brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountain that his right hand 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.
He drove out the nations from before them and assigned them their inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel 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 defied the Most High God and did not keep his solemn commands.
57 Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
They were unfaithful and acted treacherously like their fathers; they were as undependable as a faulty 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 made him angry with their high places and provoked him to jealous anger with their idols.
59 A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
When God heard this, he was angry and completely rejected 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,
He abandoned the sanctuary of Shiloh, the tent where he had lived 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 allowed his strength to be captured and gave his glory into the enemy's hand.
62 Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
He handed his people over to the sword, and he was angry with his heritage.
63 Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs.
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 awakened as one from sleep, like a warrior 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.
He drove his adversaries back; he put them to everlasting shame.
67 Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
He rejected the tent of Joseph, and he did not chose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Aka, wae no ia i ka ohana o Iuda, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona ana i aloha'i.
He chose the tribe of Judah and Mount Zion that 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.
He built his sanctuary like the heavens, like the earth that 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 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 took him from following the ewes with their young, and he brought him to be shepherd of Jacob, his people, and of Israel, his heritage.
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.
David shepherded them with the integrity of his heart, and he guided them with the skill of his hands.
