Halelu 90
1 E KA Haku, he puuhonua no oe no makou i kela hanauna i keia hanauna.
A Prayer by Moses, the Man of God. Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:
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 born, Or thou hadst brought forth the earth and the world, Even, from age to age, thou, [wast] 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 causest man to return unto dust, And hast said—Return, ye sons of Adam!
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 thine eyes, [are], As yesterday, in that it passed away, Or [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 hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, [they are] like grass that shooteth 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 sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.
7 No ka mea, ua hoopauia makou i kou huhu, Ua oki loa hoi makou i kou inaina.
For we are consumed in thine anger, And, in thy wrath, are we dismayed;
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 near the luminary of thy 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, decline in thy wrath, —We end our years like a sigh.
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, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown 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 strength of thine anger? Even, according to the fear of thee, 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.
How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.
13 E hoi mai oe, e Iehova, pehea la ka loihi? A e minamina mai hoi i kau poe kauwa.
Return, Yahweh, oh how long? And have compassion upon 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.
Satisfy us, in the morning, with thy lovingkindness, That we may shout aloud and be glad, Throughout 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 thou hast humbled us, The years we have seen misfortune:
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 majesty, upon 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 delightfulness of Adonay our God be upon us, —And, the work of our hands, establish thou upon us, Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
