II. Samuela 22
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1OLELO aku la o Davida ia Iehova i na huaolelo o keia mele, i ka la a Iehova i hoopakele ae ia ia mai ka lima aku o kona poe enemi a pau, a mai ka lima aku hoi o Saula.
1And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
2I aku la ia, O Iehova no kuu pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me kuu hoola;
2and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3O ke Akua o ko'u pohaku, e paulele aku au maluna ona; Oia ko'u palekaua, a me ka pepeiaohao o ko'u ola; Oia ko'u halekiai kiekie, o kuu puuhonua, a me kuu hoola; Ke hoola mai nei oe ia'u, i ke koloheia.
3The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence.
4E hea aku no wau ia Iehova, ka mea pono ke hoonaniia'ku: Pela no wau e hoopakeleia mai ai i ko'u poe enemi.
4Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
5Hoopuni mai la na ale o ka make ia'u, Hooweliweli mai la ka waikahe o ka poe aia ia'u;
5For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
6Ua puni au i ko ka po mea e paa ai, A hoohei mai la ia'u na upena o ka make.
6The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me.
7I ko'u popilikia, kahea aku la au ia Iehova. Uwe aku la hoi au i ko'u Akua; A lohe mai la kela i ko'u leo mai kona luakini mai, A komo aku la hoi ko'u kahea ana iloko o kona mau pepeiao.
7In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears.
8Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua me ka haalulu; Nee aku la na kumu o na lani, A nauwewe ae la hoi no kona inaina.
8Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
9Pukoa ae la ka uahi mailoko ae o kona mau pukaihu, Mai loko aku o kona waha i ai aku ai ke ahi: Ua kukuniia na lanahu e ia.
9Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
10Hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la, Malalo ae o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
11Holo ae la kela maluna o kekahi keruba, a lele ae la no hoi ia; Ua ikea no hoi oia maluna o na eheu o ka makani.
11And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12O ka pouli i puni mai ia ia, oia kana i hoolilo ai i wahi noho nona, O na wai akoakoa i na ao eleele o ka lani.
12And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13Noloko o ka olinolino imua ona, ua kuniia na lanahu ahi.
13At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
14Hoohekili mai la o Iehova mai ka lani mai, A hoopoha mai la hoi ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo.
14The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
15Pana mai la ia i na pua, a hoopuehu ia lakou, I na uila hoi a hooauhee aku la ia lakou.
15And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16Alaila ua ikea na kaha o ke kai, Ua hoikeia mai no hoi na kumu o ka honua, I ka papa ana mai o Iehova, I ka nou ana mai o ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu.
16And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17Kii mai la oia mai luna mai, lalau mai la ia'u; Unuhi ae la hoi ia'u mailoko mai o na wai nui:
17He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
18Hoopakele ae hoi oia ia'u i ko'u enemi ikaika, A me ka poe i inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
18He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19Haule mai la lakou maluna o'u i ko'u la popilikia, Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
19They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
20Lawe ae la hoi oia ia'u i kahi akea; Hoopakele ae la ia ia'u, no kona makemake mai ia'u.
20He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
21Uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono: Ua hoihoi mai oia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
22No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23Mamua hoi o'u kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au i haalele aku i kana mau kauoha.
23For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24Ua kupono hoi au imua ona, A ua malama au ia'u iho i kuu hewa.
24And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
25Nolaila i uku mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; E like me ko'u maemae ana imua o kona mau maka.
25Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
26I ka mea lokomaikai e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai; I ke kanaka hoopono e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he pono.
26With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
27I ka mea maemae e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he maemae; A i ka mea hookekee e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he oluolu ole.
27With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
28E hoola auanei oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, ke nana mai nei kou mau maka i ka poe hookiekie, e hoohaahaa iho ai.
28And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
29No ka mea, o oe no ko'u kukui, e Iehova: A e hoomalamalama mai no o Iehova i ko'u pouli.
29For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
30Ma ou la wau i wahi ae i ka poe kaua; Ma ko'u Akua wau i lehai aku ai maluna o ka pa pohaku.
30For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
31A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao; Ua maemae ka olelo a Iehova; He palekaua ia no ka poe a pau e paulele maluna ona.
31As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
32Owai la ke Akua ke ole o Iehova? Owai hoi ka pohaku ke ole ko kakou Akua?
32For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
33O ke Akua no ko'u ikaika a me ko'u mana; Ke hoopololei nei oia i ko'u alanui.
33The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
34Ke hoomama nei oia i ko'u mau wawae e like me na wawae dia; Me ka hoonoho ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
34Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
35Ke ao mai nei oia i kuu mau lima e kaua; I uhaiia'i e ko'u lima ke kakaka keleawe.
35Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
36Ua haawi mai hoi oe i kou paku e ola'i; A o kou ahonui ka i hoonui mai ia'u.
36Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
37Ua hooakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u: Aole hoi i pahee ko'u mau wawae.
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
38Ua alualu aku au i ko'u poe enemi, A ua luku aku au ia lakou; Aole au i hoi mai a pau e lakou ia'u i ka make.
38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
39Hoopau aku la au ia lakou, me ka pepehi iho; Aole i hiki ia lakou ke ku ae: Aia, ua hina lakou malalo iho o ko'u mau wawae.
39And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40Ua kakoo mai oe ia'u i ka ikaika e kaua ai; Ua hookulou iho oe malalo o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
40For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i na a-i o ko'u poe enemi, I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
41Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
42Leha ae lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai.
42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
43Alaila pakuikui aku au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la o ka honua. A hehi iho la au ia lakou a like me ka nenelu o ke alanui; A hoopepe iho la au ia lakou.
43Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down.
44Ua hoopakele mai hoi oe ia'u i ka paio ana o ko'u poe kanaka, Ua malama mai oe ia'u i poo no na kanaka e: E hookauwa mai na'u ka lahuikanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
44Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
45E hoolohe mai no auanei ia'u na kanaka e, I ka lohe o ka pepeiao, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u.
45The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46E mae aku no na kanaka e, E makau hoi lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
46The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
47Ke ola nei o Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku; E hapaiia'ku hoi ke Akua o kuu pohaku e ola'i.
47The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
48O ke Akua ke hoopai aku no'u, Me ka hoolilo i na kanaka malalo iho o'u.
48Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
49Oia ke hoopakele ia'u i ko'u poe enemi: Oia hoi ka i hookiekie ae ia'u maluna o ka poe i ku e mai ia'u; Ua hoola mai oe ia'u i ke kanaka hoino.
49And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
50Nolaila au e hoalohaloha aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o na kanaka e. E mele hoomaikai aku au i kou inoa.
50Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
51Oia ka halekiai no kana alii: Ua aloha mai ia i kana mea poni, Ia Davida me kana poe mamo, a mau loa aku.
51A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
