Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.
1E KE Akua, ua lohe makou me ko makou mau pepeiao, Ua hai mai ko makou mau makua ia makou, I na hana au i hana'i i ko lakou mau la, i na wa kahiko.
2With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
2Kipaku aku la oe i na lahuikanaka me kou lima, a hookomo mai ia lakou la; Hoopilikia iho la oe i na kanaka a kiola aku la:
3For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
3No ka mea, aole me ka lakou pahikaua iho i loaa ai ia lakou ka aina; Aole hoi no ko lakou lima ponoi i hoola iho ia lakou iho: Aka, o kou peahi akau, a me kou lima, a me ka malamalama o kou maka; No ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oe ia lakou.
4You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
4O oe no ko'u Alii, e ke Akua; E kauoha mai i ka hoola ana ia Iakoba.
5Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
5Ma ou la e pahu aku ai makou i ko makou poe enemi: Ma kou inoa e hehi iho ai makou i ka poe ku e iluna ia makou.
6For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
6No ka mea, aole ma kuu kakaka e hilinai aku ai au: Aole hoi e hoola mai ka'u pahikaua ia'u.
7For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
7Aka, nau no makou i hoopakele i ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoohoka oe i ka poe i inaina mai ia makou.
8In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever. Selah
8Iloko o ke Akua e kaena ai makou a po ka la, A e hoomaikai mau loa aku i kou inoa. Sila.
9But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
9Aka, ua haalele ae nei oe a ua hoohilahila ia makou; Aole hoi oe i hele pu me ko makou poe kaua.
10You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
10A ua hoohuli oe ia makou i hope mai ka enemi mai; A o ka poe hoowahawaha ia makou, ua hao mai lakou no lakou iho.
11You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
11Ua haawi oe ia makou me he mau hipa la e lilo i ai; Ua hoopuehu hoi ia makou iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
12You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
12Ua kuai hoolilo aku oe i kou poe kanaka no ka mea ole, Aole hoi i hoomahuahua ma ka uku no lakou.
13You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
13Ua waiho oe ia makou he mea e hoinoia iwaena o ko makou poe hoanoho, He mea e hoowahawaha ai a e henehene ai no ka poe e hoopuni ana ia makou.
14You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
14Ua hoolilo oe ia makou i huaolelo ino, A i luli poo ana iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
15All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
15E mau ana ko'u hoinoia imua o ko'u maka; A ua uhi mai ka hilahila o ko'u maka ia'u:
16at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
16No ka leo o ka mea i hailiili a i hoino wale mai; No ka enemi hoi a me ka mea hoopai.
17All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
17Ua pau ia mea i ke kau mai maluna o makou, Aole hoi makou i hoopoina ia oe; Aole hoi i hoopunipuni makou ma kou berita.
18Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
18Aole i hoohuliia ko makou naau, Aole hoi i kapae ae ko makou mau kapuwai mai kou aoao ae;
19But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
19Ua hanapepe loa oe ia makou ma kahi nahesa; A ua hoouhi mai oe ia makou me ka malu o ka make.
20If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
20Ina i hoopoina makou i ka inoa o ko makou Akua, Ina i kikoo aku ko makou mau lima i kahi akua wahahee;
21would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
21Aole anei i imi ke Akua ia mea? No ka mea, ua ike oia i na mea huna o ka naau.
22Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
22Oiaio, nou makou i pepehiia'i a po ka la; Ua manaoia makou me he mau hipa la e hoomakeia.
23Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
23E ala'e, o ke aha kou mea e hiamoe ai, e ka Haku? E ku mai hoi iluna, mai haalele mai ia makou a mau loa.
24Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
24No ke aha la i huna ai oe i kou maka? A i hoopoina hoi i ko makou popilikia, a me ko makou hooluhihewaia?
25For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
25No ka mea, ua kulou iho ko makou uhane i ka lepo; Ua pili ko makou opu i ka honua.
26Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
26E ku mai oe e kokua no makou, A e hoola ia makou no kou aloha.
