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. To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil. Of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:
2 E hookomo aku i ka'u pule imua ou; E haliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u kahea ana.
Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry:
For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld. (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 numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:
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.
My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they 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 put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places.
7 Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah)
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 sent my friends far away from me; you have made me a disgusting thing in their eyes: I am shut up, and not able to come out.
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 are wasting away because of my trouble: Lord, my cry has gone up to you every day, my hands are stretched out 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)
Will you do works of wonder for the dead? will the shades come back to give you praise? (Selah)
11 E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
Will the story of your mercy be given in the house of the dead? will news of your faith come to the place of destruction?
12 E ikea anei kau hana mana maloko o ka pouli? A me kou pono hoi maloko o ka aina meki?
May there be knowledge of your wonders in the dark? or of your righteousness where memory is dead?
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 did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came 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?
Lord, why have you sent away my soul? why is your face covered 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.
I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.
16 Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.
17 Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
They are round me all the day like water; they have made a circle about me.
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 sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.
