Halelu 88
1 E IEHOVA, ke Akua o ko'u ola, Ua kahea aku no au imua ou i ke ao a me ka po.
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
2 E hookomo aku i ka'u pule imua ou; E haliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u kahea ana.
May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ua helu pu ia no wau me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua; Ua like hoi au me ke kanaka, aohe ona ikaika:
I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
5 Ua waiho wale ia iwaena o ka poe make, Ua like hoi me ka poe i houia e moe ana ma ka lua, Aole oe e hoomanao hou ia lakou; Ua hookiia lakou, mai kou lima aku.
I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
6 Ua hoomoe oe ia'u iloko o ka lua hohonu loa, Maloko o ka pouli, a me ua hohonu.
You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
7 Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me.
8 Ua hookaawale loa aku oe i ko'u makamaka mai o'u aku, Ua hoolilo mai oe ia'u i mea hoopailua no lakou: Ua paa no hoi au, aole e hiki ia'u ke hele aku.
You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
9 Ua hokii ko'u mau maka no ka popilikia; Ua kahea aku no wau ia oe, e Iehova, i na la a pau, Ua kikoo aku no hoi au i ko'u lima ia oe.
My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
10 E hoike anei oe i na hana mana no ka poe i make? E ala mai anei na lapu e hoolea aku ia oe? (Sila)
Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?
11 E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12 E ikea anei kau hana mana maloko o ka pouli? A me kou pono hoi maloko o ka aina meki?
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
13 E kahea aku nae au ia oe, e Iehova; I ke kakahiaka hoi e halawai no ka'u pule me oe.
But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14 E Iehova, no ke aha la oe e hoopailua mai i ko'u uhane? A huna hoi i kou maka ia'u?
Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
15 Ua pilikia au, a kokoke no i ka make, mai ko'u wa uuku mai; Ia'u i loohia'i i kou mea makau, ua kupikipikio au.
From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
16 Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
17 Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
18 Ua hookaawale loa oe i ko'u mea aloha, a me ko'u makamaka, mai o'u aku, Aia hoi ko'u hoalauna ma ka pouli.
You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
