Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.
1MAI ukiuki oe no ka poe hana hewa; Aole hoi e huahua i na mea lawehala.
2For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.
2No ka mea, e oki koke ia lakou e like me ka mauu, A e mae hoi e like me ka laauikiai maka.
3Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
3E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho no oe ma ka aina, a e hanai io ia'ku oe.
4Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
4E hauoli hoi oe ia Iehova, A e haawi mai no ia nou i ka makemake o kou naau:
5Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.
5Hookaa aku i kou aoao ia Iehova; E hilinai aku hoi ia ia. a nana no hoi e hana.
6He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.
6A e hoopuka mai hoi oia i kou pono e like me ka malamalama, A me kou hooponoponoia e like me ka la ku pono.
7Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.
7E noho malie ia Iehova, a e kali ahonui ia ia; Mai noho a ukiuki no ke kanaka e pookeokeo ana i kona aoao iho, No ke kanaka e hana ana ma na manao hewa.
8Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.
8E waiho i ka huhu, e haalele hoi i ka inaina; Mai nauki iki e hana hewa ai.
9For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
9No ka mea, e okiia'ku ka poe hana hewa; Aka, o ka poe manaolana ia Iehova, e loaa ia lakou ka honua.
10Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
10A liuliu iki aku, aole ka mea lawehala; Oiaio, e hoomanao ikaika oe i kona wahi, aole hoi ia.
11But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.
11Aka, e loaa ka honua i ka poe hoohaahaa; He hauoli lakou i ka pomaikai nui wale.
12The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,
12Kukakuka ku e ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A nau iho la me kona mau niho ia ia.
13but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.
13E akaaka mai no nae ka Haku ia ia; No ka mea, ua ike oia i ke kokoke ana mai o kona la.
14The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
14Ua unuhi ae la ka poe hewa i ka pahikaua, Ua lena hoi i ka lakou kakaka, E hoolilo i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe haahaa, A e hoomake hoi i ka poe e hele pono ana.
15But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
15E komo no ko lakou pahikaua i ko lakou naau iho; A e uhakiia ka lakou kakaka.
16Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.
16Ua oi aku ka waiwai uuku o ke kanaka pono Mamna o ka waiwai nui o ka poe hewa he nui.
17For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
17No ka mea, e uhakiia na lima o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa iho o Iehova i ka poe pono.
18The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.
18Ua ike o Iehova i na la o ka poe ku pono; A e mau loa ana no hoi ko lakou hooilina.
19In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
19Aole lakou e hoka i ka manawa ino; A i ke kau wi e maona no lakou.
20But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.
20Aka, e make no ka poe hewa, A e like auanei oa enemi o Iehova me'ka momona o na keikihipa; E pau lakou i ke ahi, e lilo lakou i uahi.
21The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.
21Ua noi e lawe iki ka mea hewa i ka hai. aole nae i hoihoi mai: Aka e lokomaikai aka ka mea pono, a haawi wale aku no.
22Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.
22Nolaila o ka poe hoomaikaiia e ia e loaa ia lakou ka honua; Aka, o ka poe i hoinoia e ia e okiia lakou.
23The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.
23Ua hooku pono ia e Iehova na kapuwai o ke kanaka pono; Oluolu mai no oia i kona hele ana.
24Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand.
24Ina e hina ia aole ia e hoohiolo loa ia: No ka mea, ua hookupaa o Iehova ia ia me kona lima.
25I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.
25Opiopio aku la au, a ua elemakule ae nei, Aole hoi au i ike i ka mea pono i haaleleia, Aole hoi i kana hua e makilo berena ana.
26They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.
26He aloha mau kona, a ua haawi aka no; Pomaikai no hoi kana hua.
27Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.
27E haalele i ka hewa, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho mau loa aku.
28For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.
28No ka mea, ua makemake no Iehova i ka hoopono ana: Aole ia i haalele i kona poe haipule; E hoomalu mau loa ia hoi lakou; Aka, e okiia ka hua a ka poe hewa.
29The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
29E loaa ka aina i ka poe pono, A e noho mau lakou ilaila.
30The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
30Ua olelo ka waha o ka mea pono ma ka naauao; A ua kamailio kona alelo ma ka hoopono ana.
31The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.
31Maloko o kona naau ke kanawai o kona Akua; Aole kapuwai ona e kapeke ai.
32Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,
32Kiai ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A imi hoi ia e hoomake ia ia.
33the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.
33Aole e waiho mai o Iehova ia ia iloko o kona lima, Aole hoi e hoahewa ia ia i kona wa e hookolokoloia'i.
34Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
34E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e malama i kona aoao: A e hookiekie oia ia oe e komo i ka aina; Aia okiia ka poe hewa, e ike ako no oe ia.
35I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,
35Ua ike aku au i ke kanaka hewa e weliweli ai, E hoopalahalaha ana ia ia iho e like me ka laau uliuli i kona wahi iho.
36yet he passed away and was no more; though I searched, he could not be found.
36Aka, ua hala aku la ia aia hoi, aole iho la ia; Oiaio, imi aku la au ia ia, aole hoi ia i loaa.
37Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.
37E noonoo i ke kanaka hemolele, E nana hoi i ka mea kupono: No ka mea, o ka hope o ua kanaka la, he pomaikai no ia.
38But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
38Aka, e luku pu ia ka poe lawehala; A o ka hope o ka poe hewa, e okiia no ia.
39The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.
39Aka, no Iehova mai ke ola o ka poe pono: Oia ko lakou ikaika i ka wa popilikia.
40The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.
40A e kokua mai o Iehova ia lakou, a e hoakea mai ia lakou, E hoopakele oia ia lakou i ka poe hewa, A e hoola ia lakou. no ko lakou hilinai ana ia ia.
