Halelu 12
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1E KOKUA mai, e Iehova; no ka mea, ua oki ke kanaka lokomaikai; Ua pau hoi ka poe hoopono iwaena o na keiki a kanaka.
1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2Ke kamailio nei kekahi i kekahi i ka mea lapuwale, Me na lehelehe malimali a me ka naau lua e olelo nei lakou.
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3E oki ana no o Iehova i na lehelehe malimali a pau, A me ke alelo e haanui ana i na mea nui;
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
4Ka i olelo iho, Me ko kakou alelo e lanakila ai kakou; No kakou no ko kakou mau lehelehe: Owai la ka Haku maluna o kakou?
4who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
5No ka luhihewa ana o ka poe ilihune, No ka auwe ana o ka poe kaniuhu, E ku ai au iluna ano, wahi a Iehova, E hoonoho au ia ia i kahi ola, ke puhiia mai ia.
5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
6O na olelo a Iehova, he mau olelo maemae no ia, Me he kala la i hoaoia i ka umulepo, ehiku ka hoomaemae ana.
6The LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7Nau no lakou e malama mai, e Iehova, Nau no lakou e hoola, mai keia hanauna aku a i ka manawa pau ole.
7You will keep them, LORD. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
8E hele ana no ka poe hewa i kela aoao a i keia aoao, I ka manawa i hookiekieia'i na kanaka ino loa.
8The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
