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 maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of Yahweh's acts of covenant faithfulness forever. I will proclaim your truthfulness to future generations.
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 I have said, “Covenant faithfulness has been established forever; your truthfulness you have established in the heavens.”
3 Ua hana au i berita me kou poe i waeia, Ua hoohiki aku au no Davida, ka'u kauwa,
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have made an oath 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)
I will establish your descendants forever, and I will establish your throne through all generations.” (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.
The heavens praise your wonders, Yahweh; your truthfulness is praised in the assembly of the holy ones.
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 can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the gods is like Yahweh?
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.
He is a God who is greatly honored in the council of the holy ones and is awesome among all who surround 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?
Yahweh God of hosts, who is strong like you, Yahweh? Your truthfulness surrounds 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 rule the raging sea; when the waves surge, you calm 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.
You crushed Rahab as one who is killed. You scattered your enemies with your strong 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.
The heavens belong to you, and the earth also. You made the world and all it contains.
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.
You created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in 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 a mighty arm and a strong hand, and your right hand is high.
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.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness come before you.
15 Pomaikai ka poe kanaka ike ia leo hauoli: E Iehova, e hele no lakou ma ka malamalama o kou maka.
Blessed are the people who worship you! Yahweh, they walk 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 rejoice in your name all day long, and in your righteousness they exalt you.
17 No ka mea, o oe no ka nani o ko lakou ikaika; A ma kou lokomaikai e hookiekieia'i ko makou pepeiaohao.
You are their majestic strength, and by your favor we are victorious.
18 No ka mea, aia no ia Iehova ko makou paku, A i ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela, ko makou alii.
For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.
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.
Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful ones; you said, “I have set a crown on a mighty one.” I have raised up one chosen from among 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 have chosen David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.
21 E paa mau no ko'u lima me ia, A e hooikaika aku no ko'u lima ia ia.
My hand will support him; my arm will strengthen him.
22 Aole e kii mai ka enemi i kana, Aole hoi e hookaumaha ke keiki a ka hewa ia ia.
No enemy will deceive him; no son of wickedness will 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,
I will crush his enemies before him; I will kill 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 truth and my covenant faithfulness will be with him; by my name he will be victorious.
25 E hookau aku au i kona lima ma ke kai, A me kona lima akau hoi ma na muliwai.
I will place his hand over the sea and his right hand over 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.
He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.'
27 E hoolilo no wau ia ia i ko'u makahiapo, I mea kiekie maluna o na'lii o ka honua.
I also will place him as my firstborn son, the most exalted of the kings of 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.
I will extend my covenant faithfulness to him forever; and my covenant with him will be secure.
29 E hoomau loa no wau i kona poe mamo, A me kona nohoalii hoi, e like me na la o ka lani.
I will make his descendants endure forever and his throne as enduring as the skies above.
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 do not walk in my regulations,
31 Ina kuu aku lakou i ka'u olelo pau, Aole hoi e malama i ka'u mau kauoha;
if they break my rules and do not keep my commands,
32 Alaila e hoopai aku au i ko lakou hewa i ka laau hahau, A me ko lakou hala hoi i ke kaula.
then will I punish their rebellion with a rod and their iniquity with blows.
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 I will not remove my steadfast love from him or be unfaithful to my promise.
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 break my covenant or change the words of my lips.
35 Hookahi no ko'u hoohiki ana i ko'u hemolele, Aole au e wahahee aku ia Davida.
Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness— I will 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.
his descendants will continue forever and his throne as long 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)
It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness 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 refused and rejected; you have been angry with your anointed king.
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 renounced the covenant of your servant. You have desecrated his crown on 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. You have ruined his strongholds.
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 by have robbed him. He has become an object of disgust to his neighbors.
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 raised the right hand of his enemies; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 Ua hoohuli ae no hoi oe i ka maka o kana pahikaua, Aole hoi oe i hookupaa ia ia ma ke kaua.
You turn back the edge of his sword and have not made him stand when in battle.
44 Ua hooki mai oe i kona nani, A ua hoolei i kona nohoalii ilalo i ka lepo.
You have brought his splendor to an end; you have brought down his throne 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. You have 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, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself, forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?
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?
Oh, think about how short my time is, and for what uselessness you have created all the children of mankind!
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 and not die, or rescue his own life from the hand 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?
Lord, where are your former acts of covenant faithfulness that you swore to David in your truthfulness?
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.
Call to mind, Lord, the mocking directed against your servants and how I bear in my heart so many insults from the 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.
Your enemies hurl insults, Yahweh; they mock the footsteps of your anointed one.
52 E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, a i ka manawa pau ole. Amene, Amene.
Blessed be Yahweh forever. Amen and Amen.
