Halelu 89
1 E HOOKANI mau loa aku au i ka lokomaikai o Iehova; Ma ko'u waha e hoike aku at au i kou oiaio i kela hanauna, i keia hanauna.
A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing evermore of the love of the Lord, proclaiming to all generations his faithfulness.
2 No ka mea, ua olelo no wau, e hoopaa mau loa ia kou lokomaikai; A e hookumu no hoi oe i kou oiaio ma ka lani.
For your love you did promise to build up forever, your faithfulness firm as the heavens themselves.
3 Ua hana au i berita me kou poe i waeia, Ua hoohiki aku au no Davida, ka'u kauwa,
‘I have made with my chosen a covenant, and sworn to David my servant,
4 E hoonoho paa loa wau i kau poe mamo, A e hana no hoi au i nohoalii nou no na hanauna a pau. (Sila)
to establish his seed forever, and to build up his throne to all ages.’ (Selah)
5 Na ka lani no e hoolea i kou mau mea mana, e Iehova, I kou oiaio kekahi, ma ke anaina o ka poe pono.
Then the holy assembly in heaven praised your marvellous faithfulness, Lord.
6 No ka mea, owai la ka mea ma ke aonli e ku like me Iehova? Iwaena hoi o na keiki a ka poe kiekie, e hoohalikeia me Iehova?
For who in the skies may compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the gods?
7 He Akua woliweli loa hoi ia ma ke anaina o ka poe pono; A he mea ia e hopohopo ai no ka poe a pau e noho hoopuni ana ia ia.
A God to be feared in the holy assembly, awful and great above all who are round him.
8 E Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, Owai la kekahi Iehova e like me oe? Me kou oiaio hoi e hoopuni ana ia oe?
O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you? Your strength and faithfulness, Lord, surround you.
9 O oe no ka i hookouopono i ke kupikipikio ana o ke kai; A pii nui ae kona mau ale, nau ia e hoomalielie.
You are the Lord of the raging sea: when its waves surge, it is you who still them.
10 Ua paopao no oe ia Rahaba, me he mea la i pepehiia; I ka ikaika o kou lima, na hooauhee oe i kou poe enemi.
It was you who did pierce and crush Rahab in pieces, and scatter your foes by your mighty arm.
11 Nau no ka lani, nau no hoi ka honua; Ua hookumu no oe i ke ao, a me kona mau mea e piha'i.
Yours are the heavens, yours also the earth, the world and its fulness, it’s you who did found them.
12 O ke kukulu akau, a me ke kukuluhema, nau no i hana ia mau mea; E olioli no o Tabora a me Heremona i kou inoa.
The north and the south, it’s you have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout praise to your name.
13 He lima no kou i lako i ka ikaika: Ua ikaika no kou lima, ua kiekie hoi kou lima akau.
You have an arm with the might of a hero; strong is your hand, high uplifted your right hand.
14 O ka pono, a me ka hoopono, oia ke kumu o kou nohoalii: E hele ae no imua o kou maka ka lokomaikai, a me ka oiaio.
Justice and right are the base of your throne, kindness and faithfulness ever attend you.
15 Pomaikai ka poe kanaka ike ia leo hauoli: E Iehova, e hele no lakou ma ka malamalama o kou maka.
Happy the people who know the glad shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face.
16 E hauoli no lakou i kou inoa a po ka la; A ma kou pono hoi e hookiekieia'i lakou.
They exult in your name all the day, and your righteousness they extol.
17 No ka mea, o oe no ka nani o ko lakou ikaika; A ma kou lokomaikai e hookiekieia'i ko makou pepeiaohao.
For you are our strength and our pride. Your favour will lift us to honour.
18 No ka mea, aia no ia Iehova ko makou paku, A i ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela, ko makou alii.
For the holy Lord of Israel keeps our defender and king.
19 Alaila, olelo iho no oe i kou mea hemolele ma ke akaku, I mai la. Ua kau aku au i ka mana maluna o ka mea ikaika; Ua hookiekie au i ka mea i waeia mai o na kanaka.
In a vision of old you did speak in this way to the one whom you loved: ‘A crown I have set on the hero I chose to be over the people
20 Ua loaa ia'u o Davida, o ka'u kauwa; Ua poni aku no au ia ia me kuu aila laa.
‘I found my servant David, and anointed with holy oil.
21 E paa mau no ko'u lima me ia, A e hooikaika aku no ko'u lima ia ia.
My hand will be with him forever, my arm will give him strength.
22 Aole e kii mai ka enemi i kana, Aole hoi e hookaumaha ke keiki a ka hewa ia ia.
‘No enemy will dare to assail him, nor the wicked to oppress him;
23 Na'u no e hooauhee i kona poe enemi imua ona, A e luku aku hoi i ka poe inaina mai ia ia,
but his foes I will shatter before him, I will strike down those who hate him.
24 E noho no ko'u oiaio a me ko'u lokomaikai me ia; A ma ko'u inoa e hookiekieia'i kona pepeiaohao.
‘My loyal love shall attend him, and I will lift him to honour.
25 E hookau aku au i kona lima ma ke kai, A me kona lima akau hoi ma na muliwai.
I will set his hand on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26 E hea mai no oia ia'u, O oe no ko'u Makua, O ko'u Akua hoi, a me ka Pohaku o ko'u hoolaia.
‘As for him, he will call me “My father, my God, and my rock of salvation.”
27 E hoolilo no wau ia ia i ko'u makahiapo, I mea kiekie maluna o na'lii o ka honua.
And I will make him my firstborn, highest of kings on the earth.
28 E malama mau loa no wau i ko'u lokomaikai ia ia, A e ku paa loa no ko'u berita me ia.
‘My love will I keep for him ever, my covenant with him shall stand fast.
29 E hoomau loa no wau i kona poe mamo, A me kona nohoalii hoi, e like me na la o ka lani.
His line will I make everlasting, and his throne as the days of the heavens.
30 Ina haalele kana poe keiki i ko'u kanawai, Aole hoi e hele ma kou hoopono ana.
‘If his children forsake my law, and walk not as I have ordained;
31 Ina kuu aku lakou i ka'u olelo pau, Aole hoi e malama i ka'u mau kauoha;
if they profane my statutes, and do not keep my commandments;
32 Alaila e hoopai aku au i ko lakou hewa i ka laau hahau, A me ko lakou hala hoi i ke kaula.
‘I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with scourges.
33 Aole nae o lawe loa aku au i ko'u lokomaikai mai ona aku. Aole hoi au e hoole i ko'u lokomaikai.
But my love will I not take from him, nor will I belie my faithfulness.
34 Aole au e ae maluna o ka'u berita, Aole hoi e hoololi i ka olelo i puka aku ma ko'u lehelehe.
‘I will not profane my covenant by changing the word that has passed my lips.
35 Hookahi no ko'u hoohiki ana i ko'u hemolele, Aole au e wahahee aku ia Davida.
Once have I solemnly sworn and I would not lie to David,
36 E mau loa ana no kana poe mamo, A me kona nohoalii, e like me ka la imua o'u.
‘that his line should endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me,
37 E hoopaa mau loa ia no hoi ia, e like me ka mahina, Me he mea hoike oiaio la ma ke aouli. (Sila)
firm as the moon which for ever and ever is fixed in the sky.’ (Selah)
38 Aka, ua hooki mai oe, a ua hoopailua mai, A ua huhu mai no hoi oe i kau mea i poni ai.
But you have cast off in contempt, and been furious with your anointed.
39 Ua hoole mai no hoi oe i ka berita o kau kauwa: Ua hoolei oe i kona leialii i lalo i ka lepo.
You have spurned the covenant with your servant, and his sacred crown dashed to the ground.
40 Ua wawahi no hoi oe i kona mau pa a pau, Ua haawi mai no hoi oe i kona mau pakaua i ka lukuia.
You have broken down all his walls, and laid his bulwarks in ruins.
41 Hao wale ia ia ka poe a pau e maalo ana ae malaila: He mea hoomaewaowa ia i kona poe hoalauna.
All who pass on their way despoil him, the scorn of his neighbours is he now.
42 Ua hookiekio oe i ka lima akau o kona poe enemi; Ua hoohauoli oe i ka poe a pau i inaina mai ia ia.
You have given his foes the victory, and made all his enemies glad.
43 Ua hoohuli ae no hoi oe i ka maka o kana pahikaua, Aole hoi oe i hookupaa ia ia ma ke kaua.
You have turned back his sword from the foe, you did not lift him up in the battle.
44 Ua hooki mai oe i kona nani, A ua hoolei i kona nohoalii ilalo i ka lepo.
The sceptre you took from his hand, and his throne you did hurl to the ground.
45 Ua hoopokole mai oe i na la o kona wa opiopio; Ua uhi mai no hoi oe ia ia i ka hilahila. (Sila)
You have shortened the days of his youth, and covered him with shame. (Selah)
46 Pehea la ka loihi o kou hoonalo ana ia oe iho, e Iehova? E mau loa anei? E a mai nei anei kou huhu me he ahi la?
How long, Lord will you hide you forever? How long are the fires of your wrath to burn?
47 E hoomanao mai oe ia'u, pehea la ka loihi o ke ola ana? No ke aha la oe i hana makehewa ai i na kanaka a pau?
Remember, Lord, the shortness of life how fleeting you made all people.
48 Owai ke kanaka e ola nei, aole oia e ike i ka make? E hoopakele anei oia i kona ola, mai ka lima aku o ka mea make? (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
Who can live without seeing death? Who can rescue their life from the clutch of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Auhea la kou lokomaikai o na manawa kahiko, e ka Haku? Ka mea au i hoohiki ai ia Davida ma ka oiaio?
Where, Lord, is your kindness of old, which you in your faithfulness swore to David?
50 E hoomanao mai oe, e ka Haku, i ka hoinoia o kau kauwa; Ua lawe no wau ma kou umauma i na lehulehu a pau o kou poe kanaka.
Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, how I bear in my heart the scorn of all nations
51 No ka mea, ua hoino wale mai kou poe enemi, e Iehova, Ua hoino wale mai hoi i na kapuwai o kou mea i poniia.
The scorn which your enemies hurl, O Lord, which they hurl at the footsteps of your anointed.
52 E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, a i ka manawa pau ole. Amene, Amene.
Blest be the Lord, for ever and ever. Amen and Amen.
