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 canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite. O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
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 in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell. (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 them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without 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.
Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.
6 Ua hoomoe oe ia'u iloko o ka lua hohonu loa, Maloko o ka pouli, a me ua hohonu.
They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
7 Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon 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.
Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:
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 languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.
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)
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
11 E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?
12 E ikea anei kau hana mana maloko o ka pouli? A me kou pono hoi maloko o ka aina meki?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
13 E kahea aku nae au ia oe, e Iehova; I ke kakahiaka hoi e halawai no ka'u pule me oe.
But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
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 castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy 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.
I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
16 Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.
17 Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.
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.
Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.
