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 or Psalme of Heman the Ezrahite to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah for him that excelleth upon Malath Leannoth. O Lord God of my saluation, I cry day and 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 enter into thy presence: incline thine eare vnto my cry.
For my soule is filled with euils, and my life draweth neere to the graue. (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 downe vnto the pit, and am as 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.
Free among the dead, like the slaine lying in the graue, whome thou remembrest no more, and they are cut off from thine hand.
6 Ua hoomoe oe ia'u iloko o ka lua hohonu loa, Maloko o ka pouli, a me ua hohonu.
Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit, in darkenes, and in the deepe.
7 Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
Thine indignation lyeth vpon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy waues. (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.
Thou hast put away mine acquaintance farre from me, and made mee to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, and cannot get foorth.
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.
Mine eye is sorowfull through mine affliction: Lord, I call dayly vpon thee: I stretch out mine hands vnto 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 shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? (Selah)
11 E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes 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 wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?
13 E kahea aku nae au ia oe, e Iehova; I ke kakahiaka hoi e halawai no ka'u pule me oe.
But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lord, and early shall my prayer come before 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 doest thou reiect my soule, and hidest 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 afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrours, doubting of my life.
16 Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
Thine indignations goe ouer me, and thy feare hath cut me off.
17 Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
They came round about me dayly like water, and compassed me 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.
My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hid themselues.
