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, thou hast been our dwelling 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 brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] 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.
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye 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 a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] 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.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.
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 flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 No ka mea, ua hoopauia makou i kou huhu, Ua oki loa hoi makou i kou inaina.
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Ua kau no oe i ko makou hewa imua ou, A mo ka makou mea malu, ma ka malamalama o kou maka.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.
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 are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale [that is told].
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 days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
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 knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, [so is] thy wrath.
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 teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.
13 E hoi mai oe, e Iehova, pehea la ka loihi? A e minamina mai hoi i kau poe kauwa.
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
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.
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad 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 according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] 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.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto 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.
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
