Halelu 79
1 E KE Akua e, ua komo mai ko na aina e iloko o kou hooilina; Ua hoohaumia lakou i kou luakini hoano; A ua hoolilo no hoi ia Ierusalema, i ahu opala.
“A psalm of Assaph.” O God! nations have entered into thy heritage; they have profaned thy holy temple; they have rendered Jerusalem heaps of ruins.
2 Ua haawi lakou i na kupapau o kau poe kauwa, I ai na na manu o ka lewa; A me ke kino no hoi o kou poe haipule, Na na holoholona o ka honua.
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants as food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy pious ones unto the beasts of the earth.
3 Ua hookahe lakou i ko lakou nei koko me he wai la, A puni o Ierusalema; aohe mea nana e kanu iho.
They have shed their blood like water all round about Jerusalem: and there is no one to bury them.
4 Ua lilo makou i mea hoowahawahaia e ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, He mea hoaikola, a akaaka hoi i ka poe e noho mai la a puni makou.
We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those that are round about us.
5 Pehea la ka loihi, e Iehova? E huhu mau loa mai anei oe? E a anei kou lili me he ahi la?
How long, Lord? wilt thou be indignant for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 E ninini mai oe i kou huhu maluna o ko na aina e, Ka poe i ike ole ia oe, Maluna hoi o na aupuni i kahea ole aku i kou inoa.
Pour out thy fury over the nations that acknowledge thee not, and over the kingdoms that have not called on thy name.
7 No ka mea, ua hoopau lakou ia Iakoba, A ua hooneoneo hoi i kona wahi i noho ai.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.
8 Mai hoomanao mai oe i na hala o ka makou poe kupuna, I mea e hewa'i makou: E hoowikiwiki mai oe i kou lokomaikai, No ka mea, ua pilikia loa makou.
Oh remember not against us the iniquities of our fathers: make haste, let thy mercies come to our aid; for we are very miserable.
9 E kokua mai oe ia makou, e ke Akua o ko makou ola, I mea e hoonaniia'i kou inoa: E hoopakele mai oe ia makou, E kala mai hoi i ko makou hewa, no kou inoa iho.
Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and atone for our sins, for the sake of thy name.
10 No ke aha la e olelo mai ai ko na aina e, Auhea la ko lakou Akua? Ina e ikeia oia e ko na aina e imua o ko makou mau maka, E hoopai ana i ke koko o kau poe kauwa i hookaheia.
Wherefore shall the nations say, Where is their God? let there be made known among the nations before our eyes, the vengeance for the blood of thy servants which hath been shed.
11 Ina e hiki aku imua ou ke kaniuhu ana o ke pio; E like me ka nui o kou mana, e hoopakele mai oe i na keiki o ka make.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee: according to the greatness of thy almighty power preserve thou those that are doomed to death;
12 Maluna o ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, E hoihoi pahiku oe iloko o ko lakou umauma, I ka hoino a lakou i hoino aku ai ia oe, e ka Haku e.
And recompense unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their defiance wherewith they have defied thee, O Lord.
13 Alaila, o makou, na kanaka ou, a me na hipa au i hanai ai, E mililaui mau aku no makou ia oe; A e hookani makou i kou nani i na hanauna a pau.
But we thy people and the flock of thy pasture will give thanks unto thee for ever: from generation to generation will we relate thy praise.
