Halelu 81
1 E HOOKANI olioli oukou i ke Akua, i ko kakou ikaika: E hooho hauoli i ke Akua o Iakoba.
“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of Asaph.” Sing joyfully to God, our strength! Shout with gladness 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.
Raise a song, and strike the timbrel, The sweet-sounding harp, and the psaltery!
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; At the full moon, also, on our festal day!
4 No ka mea, he olelo paa keia no ka Iseraela, O ke kanawai hoi o ke Akua o ka Iakoba.
For this is a statute for Israel, 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.
He appointed it as a memorial in Joseph, When he went out of the land of Egypt, Where he heard a language which he knew not.
6 Hoopakele ae la au i kona poohiwi i ke kaumaha; Hoopakeleia no hoi kona mau lima i na ipu.
“I relieved [[said he]] thy shoulders from their burden; Thy hands were removed from the hod.
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.
Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; In the secret place of thunder I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (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, O my people! and I will admonish thee! O Israel! that thou wouldst hearken to me!
9 Mai noho ke akua e ae me oe, Mai kulou hoi imua o ke akua e ae.
Let there be no strange god within thee, Nor worship thou any foreign 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 Jehovah am thy God, Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open wide thy mouth, 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 not hearken 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 gave them up to the obstinacy of their hearts, And they walked according to their own devices.
13 Ina i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka ia'u, Ina i hele o ka Iseraela ma ko'u aoao!
“O that my people had hearkened to me! That 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:
Soon would I have brought low 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 Jehovah should have become suppliants to them, And their prosperity 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.
With the finest of the wheat I would have fed them, And with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied them.”
