Halelu 81
1 E HOOKANI olioli oukou i ke Akua, i ko kakou ikaika: E hooho hauoli i ke Akua o Iakoba.
For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine presses. Rejoice you in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
2 E hookiekie i ke mele ana, a e ho mai hoi i ka pahu kani, A me ka lira oluolu, a me ka violaumi.
Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
3 E puhi oukou i ka pu i ka mahina hou, A i ka mahina poepoe hoi no ka la ahaaina.
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
4 No ka mea, he olelo paa keia no ka Iseraela, O ke kanawai hoi o ke Akua o ka Iakoba.
For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
5 Kau no oia i keia i kanawai no ka Iosepa, Ia ia i hele aku ai iwaena o Aigupita; A lohe no hoi au i ka olelo maopopo ole ia'u.
He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
6 Hoopakele ae la au i kona poohiwi i ke kaumaha; Hoopakeleia no hoi kona mau lima i na ipu.
He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
7 I ka popilikia, kahea mai oe, a hoopakele aku ai ia oe; A pane aku la au ma kahi malu o ka hekili: Hoao aku au ia oe ma na wai o Meriba.
You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. (Pause)
8 E hoolohe mai, e ko'u poe kanaka, a e ao aku au ia oe; Ina e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela;
Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
9 Mai noho ke akua e ae me oe, Mai kulou hoi imua o ke akua e ae.
there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
10 Owau no o Iehova, kou Akua, Nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai; E hoohamama i kou waha, a na'u ia e hoopiha ai.
For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 Aole nae i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka i ko'u leo; Aole hoi i makemake mai o ka Iseraela ia'u.
But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
12 Alaila, haawi aku la au ia lakou i ka paakiki o ko lakou naau; A hele hoi lakou ma ko lakou manao iho.
So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
13 Ina i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka ia'u, Ina i hele o ka Iseraela ma ko'u aoao!
If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
14 Ina ua hoohaahaa koke aku au i ko lakou poe enemi, A ua huli ku e hoi kou lima i ka poe i huhu mai ia lakou:
I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
15 Ina ua huli mai hoi ka poe i huhu ia Iehova, A ua mau loa no ko lakou manawa.
The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
16 Ina ua hanai aku oia ia lakou i ka palaoa maikai; A ua hoomaona hoi au ia oe i ka meli mailoko mai o ka pohaku.
And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
