Halelu 94
1 E KE Akua nona ka hoopai ana, e Iehova; E ke Akua nona ka hoopai ana, e hoomalamalama mai.
O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
2 E ku mai hoi oe, e ka lunakanawai o ka honua; E hoopai oe i ka poe hookiekie.
Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.
3 Pehea la ka loihi, e Iehova, o ka poe hewa? Pehea la ka loihi o ka akola ana mai o ka poe hewa?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
4 Pane mai no lakou me ka olelo iho i na mea howa, Kaena wale ka poe hana hewa a pau.
They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
5 Ua paopao mai no lakou i kou poo kanaka, e Iehova. A ua hookaumaha hoi i kou hooilina.
They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
6 Pepehi no lakou i ka wahinekanemake, a me ka malihini, A ulupa hoi i na keiki makua ole.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Olelo no hoi lakou, Aole e ike mai o Iehova, Aole e manao mai ke Akua o Iakoba.
And they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
8 E hoomaopopo oukou, e ka poe manao ole iwaena o na kanaka; O oukou hoi ka poe naaupo, Pehea la ka loihi a lilo oukou i poe naauao?
Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
9 O ka mea i hana mai i ka pepeiao, Aole anei e lohe mai ia? O ka mea i hooponopono i ka maka, Aole anei oia e ike mai?
He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 O ka mea hahau i ko na aina e, Aole auei oia e hoopai mai? O ka mea hoi i ao mai i kanaka i ka ike?
He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Ua ike mai no o Iehova i ka manao o kanaka, He lapuwale ia.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Pomaikai ke kanaka au e ao mai ai, e Iehova, A hoonaauao hoi ma kou kanawai;
Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and teachest out of Thy law;
13 I hoomaha'i oe ia ia mai na la o ka ino, A eliia ka lua no ka poe hewa.
That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Aole haalele o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, Aole hoi e kuu wale aku i kona hooilina iho.
For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.
15 E hiki hou mai no ka hooponopono ana ma ka pololei; A malaila no e hahai aku ai ka poe a pau i pono ma ka naau.
For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Owai la ka mea e ala mai no'u e ku e i ka poe hewa? Owai hoi ka mea e ku mai iluna nou, e ku e i ka poe lawehala?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Ina aole o Iehova i kokua mai ia'u, Ina ua kokoke e noho kuu uhane ma kahi ekemu ole.
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
18 Ia'u i olelo ai, Ua pahee ko'u wawae. Alaila, na kou lokomaikai, e Iehova, i hooikaika ia'u.
If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
19 I ka nui loa o ko'u mau manao iloko o'u, O kou aloha ka mea e hoohauoli ai i ko'u uhane.
When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20 E kukakuka pa anei ka nohoalii o ka hewa me oe? Ka mea hoi i hana i ke kolohe ma ke kanawai?
Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
21 Alu mai la lakou i ka uhane o ka poe pono, A hoohewa lakou i ke koko hala ole.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
22 O Iehova no ko'u wahi kiekie, a me ko'u Akua, O ko'u pohaku puuhonua hoi.
But the LORD hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 E hoopai mai oia i ko lakou hewa maluna o lakou, A e hooki hoi oia ia lakou maloko o ko lakou hewa; Na Iehova, ko kakou Akua, e hooki ia lakou.
And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God will cut them off.
