Halelu 90
1 E KA Haku, he puuhonua no oe no makou i kela hanauna i keia hanauna.
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations.
2 Mamua aku o ka hanau ana o na mauna, A me kou hoomaka ana i ka honua a me ke ao nei, O oe no ke Akua, mai kahiko loa mai, a mau loa aku no.
Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.
3 Ke hoihoi aku nei oe i ke kanaka i ka lepo; A olelo mai no hoi, E hoi oukou, e na keiki a kanaka.
You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men.
4 No ka mea, o na makahiki he tausani imua o kou mau maka, Ua like no me ka la inehinei i hala aku la, Me he kiai la hoi o ka po.
For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
5 Hookahe aku no oe ia lakou, he hiamoe no lakou; I ke kakahiaka kupu mai no ia me he mauu la.
6 Pua mai no ia i ke kakahiaka a mohala iho, A i ke ahiahi ua okiia ia ilalo a mae wale iho la.
In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.
7 No ka mea, ua hoopauia makou i kou huhu, Ua oki loa hoi makou i kou inaina.
We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.
8 Ua kau no oe i ko makou hewa imua ou, A mo ka makou mea malu, ma ka malamalama o kou maka.
You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.
9 No ka mea, i kou huhu, ua hala'e ko makou mau la a pau; Ke hoopau nei makou i ko makou mau makahiki me he manao la.
For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.
10 O na la o ko makou mau makahiki. He kanahiku, makahiki iloko o laila; Aka, ina no ka ikaika he kanawalu makahiki lakou, Alaila, o ko lakou ikaika, he luhi wale no ia, a me ke kaumaha; No ka mea, hooki koke ia ia, a lele aku la makou.
The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
11 Owai ka mea i ike i ka ikaika o kou huhu? No ka mea, e like me ka makau ia oe, pela no kou ukiuki mai.
Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
12 E ao mai oe i ka helu i ko makou mau la, I komo mai ai ke akamai iloko o ko makou naau.
So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
13 E hoi mai oe, e Iehova, pehea la ka loihi? A e minamina mai hoi i kau poe kauwa.
Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
14 E hoomaona koke mai oe ia makou i ka lokomaikai, I hauoli ai makou, a olioli hoi i ko makou mau la a pau.
In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
15 E hoohauoli mai oe ia makou, e like me na la o kou hoopilikia ana ia makou, A me na makahiki hoi a makou i ike ai i ka hewa.
Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
16 E hoike mai oe i kau hana i kau poe kauwa, A me kou hanohano hoi i ka lakou poe keiki.
Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
17 E hoonoho mai maluna o makou i ke aloha o Iehova ko makou Akua: E hoopaa mai oe i ka hana a ko makou lima me makou; Oia, o ka hana a ko makou mau lima, e hoopaa mai oe ia.
Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
