Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
1E HAKAKA, e Iehova, me na mea i hakaka me au: E paio oe me ka poe i paio mai ia'u,
2Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
2E lalau i ka palekaua a me ka uhikino, A e ku mai oe iluna i kokua no'u
3Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
3Unuhi ae hoi oe i ka ihe a e keakea i ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u: E olelo mai i kuu uhane, Owau no kou ola.
4May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
4E hoka a e hoohilahilaia ka poe i kii mai i ko'u uhane; E hoohuliia'ku lakou i hope, a e hoohokaia hoi na mea i kukakuka i ka ino no'u.
5May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
5E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
6May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
6A pouli mai, a pahee hoi ko lakou alanui, A e alualu hoi ka anela a Iehova ia lakou.
7For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
7No ka mea, i ka hala ole, huua lakou i ka lakou upena no'u, Iloko o ka lua a lakou i eli ai no kuu uhane, i ka hala ole.
8May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
8E kau mai ka make ike ole ia maluna ona; A e hoohei ia ia iho kana upena i huna ai; Iloko o ua make la e haule iho ai oia.
9Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
9E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
10All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
10E olelo aku no hoi ka'u mau iwi a pau, E Iehova, owai la ka mea like me oe? Ka mea i hoopakele i ka mea haahaa i ka mea i oi ka ikaika i kona, Oia hoi, o ka mea ilihune me ka nele i ka mea hao wale ia ia?
11Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
11Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
12They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
12Ua uku mai lakou ia'u me ka hewa no ka pono, I haalele loa ia ko'u uhane.
13Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
13Aka, owau nei la, i ko lakou mai ana, O ke kapa ino ka'u i aahu ai: A hookaumaha au i kuu uhane me ka hookeai, A ua hoi mai ka'u pule iloko o kuu poli iho.
14I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
14Ua hele au me he mea la o ko'u hoaaloha, a o ko'u hoahanau paha ia: Ua kulou iho au me ke kaumaha, E like me ka mea kanikau no kona makuwahine.
15But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
15Aka, i kuu oopa ana, olioli lakou, a akoakoa hoi, Oia hoi ua akoakoa ku e ia ia'u ka poe aki, aole hoi au i ike, Ua haehae mai lakou ia'u aole i noho malie.
16Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
16Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
17How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
17E ka Haku, pehea ka loihi o kou nana ana mai? E hoopakele i kuu uhane i ko lakou luku ana, A i ko'u makamae i na liona.
18Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
18E hoomaikai aku au ia oe iloko o ke anaina nui; E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka lehulehu.
19Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
19Mai noho a hauoli hewa mai ko'u mau enemi maluna o'u: A imo me ka maka ka poe inaina wale mai ia'u.
20For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
20No ka mea, aole lakou i olelo ma ke kuikahi; Ua kukakuka lakou i na mea hoopunipuni ku e i na mea noho malie ma ka aina.
21They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
21Oiaio, ua hoohamama loa lakou i ko lakou waha ia'u; I iho la lakou, Aia la! aia la! ua ike ko makou maka ia.
22O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
22Oia kau i ike mai ai, e Iehova, mai hakanu oe, E ka Haku, mai noho a mamao aku ia'u.
23Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
23E paipai ia oe iho, e ala'e hoi e hoopono ia'u; Ma kuu mea e hakaka ai, e kuu Akua, e kuu Haku hoi.
24Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
24E hoopono mai ia'u, e Iehova kuu Akua, mamuli o kou pono; Mai noho a hauoli lakou maluna o'u.
25Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
25Mai noho a olelo lakou iloko o ko lakou naau, Aia la! O ko makou makemake no ia: Mai noho a olelo lakou, Ua ale kakou ia ia.
26May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.
26E hoka a e hoohilahila pu ia no hoi ka poe hauoli i ko'u poino; E hoaahuia me ka hilahila a me ka hoinoia ka poe haanui ku e mai ia'u.
27May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”
27E hooho i ka olioli a e hauoli hoi ka poe kokua i kuu pono; A e olelo mau lakou, E mahaloia'ku o Iehova, Ka mea i oluolu i ka pomaikai o kana kauwa nei.
28Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.
28A e hai aku kuu alelo i kou hoopono ana, A i ka hoolea nou a po ka la.
