Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath.
1O WAU no ke kanaka i ike i ka popilikia, Malalo o ka laau o kona ukinki.
2He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness instead of light.
2Ua alakai oia ia'u, a ua lawe mai ia'u iloko o ka pouli, Aole iloko o ka malamalama.
3Indeed, He keeps turning His hand against me all day long.
3He oiaio, ua huli ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua huli oia i kona lima e ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
4He has worn away my flesh and skin; He has shattered my bones.
4Ua hoopau oia i ko'u io, a me ko'u ili; Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau iwi.
5He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
5Ua kukulu ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua hoopuni mai ia'u i ka awaawa, a me ke kaumaha.
6He has made me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.
6Ua hoonoho mai oia ia'u ma na wahi pouli, E like me ka poe i make i ka, wa kahiko.
7He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.
7Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u i ka pa, i ole au e puka iwaho; Ua hana oia i ko'u kaula keleawe a kaumaha.
8Even when I cry out and plead for help, He shuts out my prayer.
8I ka wa a'u e kahea aku ai, a nonoi aku, Pani mai la oia i ka'u pule ana.
9He has barred my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.
9Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u me na pohaku i kalaiia; Ua hookeekee oia i ko'u mau alanui.
10He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.
10Ua like oia ia'u me ka bea e hoohalua ana, Me he liona la hoi ma na wahi malu.
11He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.
11Ua kapae oia i ko'u mau aoao, ua haehae mai ia'u; Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i mehameha.
12He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
12Ua hoolena oia i kona kakaka, Ua kau oia ia'u me he hoailona la no ka pua.
13He pierced my kidneys with His arrows.
13Ua hookomo mai oia i kona mau pua iloko o ko'u opu.
14I am a laughingstock to all my people; they mock me in song all day long.
14He mea akaaka no wau i ko'u poe kanaka a pau; O ko lakou mele akaaka, a pau ka la.
15He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood.
15Ua hoomaona mai oia ia'u i na mea awaawa, Ua hooona mai oia ia'u i ka laau awahia.
16He has ground my teeth with gravel and trampled me in the dust.
16Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau niho i na iliili, Ua uhi mai oia ia'u i ka lehu.
17My soul has been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
17Ua kipaku mai oe i ko'u uhane mai ka maiu aku; Poina hoi ia'u ka pomaikai.
18So I say, “My strength has perished, along with my hope from the LORD.”
18I iho la au, Ua hookiia kuu ikaika, A me ka laua ana o kuu manao, mai Iehova mai;
19Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
19E manao ana hoi au i ko'u popilikia a me ko'u eha, I ka laau awaawa, a me ka laau make.
20Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me.
20Ke manao nui nei ko'u uhane ia mea, Me ke kulou iho iloko o'u.
21Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope:
21Ke hoihoi mai nei au i keia iloko o ko'u naau, A nolaila, ua laua kuu manao.
22Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.
22No ka lokomaikai o Iehova, aole kakou i anaiia; No ka pau ole hoi o kona aloha.
23They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
23He hou mai no i na kakahiaka a pau; Ua nui loa no kou oiaio.
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
24O Iehova no ko'u kuleana, wahi a kuu uhane, Nolaila e lana'i kuu manao ia ia.
25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
25Ua maikai o Iehova i ka poe kakali ia ia, I ka uhane hoi i imi aku ia ia.
26It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
26He mea maikai ke lana ka manao, no ka hoolaia mai e Iehova, me ka ekemu ole hoi.
27It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
27He mea maikai i ke kanaka ke lawe i ka auamo i kona wa opiopio.
28Let him sit alone in silence, for God has disciplined him.
28Ke noho mehameha ia me ka ekemu ole, No ka mea, [na ke Akua no] i kau ia mea maluna ona.
29Let him bury his face in the dust— perhaps there is still hope.
29Ke waiho hoi ia i kona waha ma ka lepo, Ina paha e loaa ia ia ka laua o ka manao.
30Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.
30Ke haawi no hoi oia i kona papalina i ka mea nana ia e hahau; Ke hoopihaia oia i ka hoowahawahaia.
31For the Lord will not cast us off forever.
31Aole nae e kipaku mau loa aku o ka Haku;
32Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.
32Ina e hookaumaha mai oia, e aloha mai no ia, E like me ka nui o kona lokomaikai.
33For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
33Aole no kona makemake ia e hookaumaha mai ai, A hoeha i na keiki a kanaka.
34To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land,
34E hahi malalo iho o kona mau wawae, I na mea pio a pau o ka honua,
35to deny a man justice before the Most High,
35E hoohuli ae i ka pono o ke kanaka, Mai ka maka ae o ka Mea kiekie,
36to subvert a man in his lawsuit— of these the Lord does not approve.
36E hana kekee i ke kanaka i kona hookolokoloia, Aole i apono mai ka Haku ia mau mea.
37Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
37Owai ka mea nana e olelo, a ko no, Ke kauoha ole mai ka Haku?
38Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High?
38Mai ka waha mai o ka Mea kiekie, Aole i puka mai ka hewa, a me ka maikai,
39Why should any mortal man complain, in view of his sins?
39No ke aha la e ohumu ai ke kanaka e ola ana, O ke kanaka hoi no kona hoopaiia?
40Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD.
40E huli kakou i ke ano o ko kakou mau aoao, E hoao hoi, a e hoi hou aku ia Iehova.
41Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
41E hapai kakou i ko kakou mau naau a me na lima, I ke Akua iloko o ka lani.
42“We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
42Ua hana hewa aku makou, a na kipi, Aole no hoi oe i kala mai.
43You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity.
43Ua uhi mai oia ia makou i ka huhu, a ua hoomaau mai; Ua pepehi mai oe, aole i aloha mai.
44You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through.
44Ua uhi no oe ia oe iho i ke ao, I komo ole aku ai ka pule.
45You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.
45Ua hoonoho oe ia makou i lepo i kahiliia. A i mea i hoowahawahaia iwaena o na kanaka.
46All our enemies open their mouths against us.
46Ua hamama ku e mai ia makou na waha a pau o ko makou poe enemi.
47Panic and pitfall have come upon us— devastation and destruction.
47Eia no imua o makou, ka makau a me ka lua, O ka lukuia, a me ke anaiia.
48Streams of tears flow from my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48Ke kahe nei na muliwai ma ko'u mau maka, No ke anaiia o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka.
49My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,
49Ko kulu nei no ko'u maka, aole hooki, Aole hoi i hoomaha,
50until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.
50A nana mai o Iehova, a ike, mai ka lani mai.
51My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
51Ke hoeha ko'u maka i ko'u naau, no na kaikamahine a pau o ko'u kulanakauhale.
52Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.
52Me he manu la i hahai hala ole mai ai ko'u poe enemi ia'u me ka ikaika.
53They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me.
53Ua hooki lakou i ko'u ola ma ka lua, Ua hoolei mai i ka pohaku maluna o'u.
54The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
54Kahe ae la na wai maluna o kuu poo, Alaila, olelo iho la au, Ua hookiia mai au.
55I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit.
55Kahea aku la au i kou inoa, o Iehova, Mailoko ae o ka lua hohonu.
56You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”
56Ua lohe no oe i ko'u leo; Mai huna oe i kou pepeiao, i ko'u hanu ana, a me ko'u kahea ana.
57You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
57Hookokoke mai no oe i ka la a'u i kahea aku ai la oe; I mai la hoi oe, Mai makau.
58You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
58E ka Haku, ua kokua mai oe ia'u i ka hoopiiia o kuu uhane; Nau no i hoolapanai i ko'u ola.
59You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
59E Iehova, ua ike no oe i ko'u hookaumahaia, Nau no e hooponopono i ko'u hihia.
60You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
60Ua ike no oe i ko lakou hoomaau ana a pau, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau.
61O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
61E Iehova, ua lohe no oe i ko lakou hoowahawaha ana, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau:
62the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long.
62I na olelo a ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u, A me ko lakou imi ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
63When they sit and when they rise, see how they mock me in song.
63E nana i ko lakou noho ana ilalo, a me ko lakou ku ana iluna, owau no ko lakou mele akaaka.
64You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
64E hoihoi oe i ka hoopai ana maluna o lakou, e Iehova, E like hoi me ka hana ana a ko lakou mau lima.
65Put a veil of anguish over their hearts; may Your curse be upon them!
65E haawi oe ia lakou i ke kaumaha o ka naau, I kou hoino hoi, ia lakou.
66You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them from under Your heavens, O LORD.
66Me ka huhu oe e hahai aku ai, A e luku aku ia lakou, mailalo aku o na lani o Iehova.
