Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”
1I IHO ia au, e malama au i ko'u hele ana, O hana hewa au me kuu alelo: E malama au i kuu waha me ka paawaha, I ka wa o ka mea lawehala imua o'u.
2I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.
2Ua mumule loa au me ka leo ole, Aole au i pane aku, aole i ka maikai; A ua hoola hou ia kuu kaumaha.
3My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:
3Wela mai kuu naau maloko o'u; I kuu noonoo ana aa iho la ke ahi; Olelo aku la hoi au me kuu alelo,
4“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.
4E hoiko mai ia'u, o Iehova, i ko'u hopena; A me ke ano o ka ana ana o kuu mau la, I ike au i ko'u palupalu ana.
5You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah
5Eia hoi, ua hoohalike oe i kuu mau la me ka palahalaha o ka peahilima; A me kuu mau makahiki me he mea ole la imua ou; He oiaio, he hanu wale no kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoonoho paa ia. Sila.
6Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.
6Oiaio, ke hele nei kela kanaka keia kanaka me he aka oiaio ole la: He oiaio, ma ka mea lapuwale i pihoihoi ai lakou: Hoahu ae la ia i ka waiwai aole hoi i ike i ka mea nana ia e ohi.
7And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.
7Ano hoi, heaha ka'u e kali nei, e ka Haku? O ko'u manao lana aia no maluna o'u.
8Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.
8E hookaawale aku i ko'u mau hewa a pau; Mai noho a hoolilo ia'u i mea e hoinoin'i e ka poe naaupo.
9I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.
9Ua mumule loa au, aole hoi o ekemu kuu waha; No ka mea, nau no i hana mai.
10Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.
10E lawe aku i kou hahau ana mai o'u aku nei: Ua pau e au i ka hahau ana mai o kou lima.
11You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah
11Aia hahau oe i ke kanaka me ka papa ana mai no kona hewa, Ua hoopau oe i kona nani me he mu la; Oiaio, he hanu wale no na kanaka a pau. Sila.
12Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.
12E hoolohe mai i ka'u pule, e Iehova, E haliu mai i ka pepeiao i ko'u kahea ana; Mai noho a hookuli i ko'u waimaka: No ka mea, he malihini au me oe, He mea noho iki e like me ko'u mau makua a pau.
13Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”
13E hookoe mai ia'u, i loaa hou mai ka ikaika ia'u. Mamua o ko'u hele ana aku, a e ole loa hoi.
