Halelu 81
1 E HOOKANI olioli oukou i ke Akua, i ko kakou ikaika: E hooho hauoli i ke Akua o Iakoba.
Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise 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 bring here the tambourine, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 E puhi oukou i ka pu i ka mahina hou, A i ka mahina poepoe hoi no ka la ahaaina.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 No ka mea, he olelo paa keia no ka Iseraela, O ke kanawai hoi o ke Akua o ka Iakoba.
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law 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.
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6 Hoopakele ae la au i kona poohiwi i ke kaumaha; Hoopakeleia no hoi kona mau lima i na ipu.
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
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 called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
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, O my people, and I will testify to you: O Israel, 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 no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any 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.
I am the LORD your God, which 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 would not listen to my voice; and Israel would none of 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 gave them up to their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Ina i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka ia'u, Ina i hele o ka Iseraela ma ko'u aoao!
Oh that my people had listened to me, and 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 soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Ina ua huli mai hoi ka poe i huhu ia Iehova, A ua mau loa no ko lakou manawa.
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: but their time should have endured 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.
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
