Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1E HOOPAKELE mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i ke kanaka hewa; E malama mai hoi ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe:
1Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,
2Ka poe i imi hewa ma ka naau; Akoakoa no lakou i na la a pau, e kaua.
2who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.
3Hookala no lakou i ko lakou alelo me he nahesa la; A aia malalo o ko lakou mau lehelehe ka mea make o ka moonihoawa. Sila.
3They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah
4E malama mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i na lima o ka poe hewa. E kiai mai ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe; No ka mea, manao mai oia e hoohiolo i kuu mau kapuwai.
4Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.
5Na ka poe hookiekie i hana i ka mea hei a me na kaula no'u; A ua uhola lakou i ka upena ma kapa alanui; Ua kau lakou i pahele no'u. Sila.
5The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah
6Olelo aku la au ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Akua; E hoolohe mai oe, e Iehova, i ka leo o ko'u nonoi ana.
6I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
7E Iehova, ka Haku ikaika o ko'u ola, Ua uhi mai no oe i ko'u poo i ka la o ke kaua.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.
8Mai haawi mai oe, e Iehova, i na mea a ka poe hewa i makemake ai; Mai kokua mai oe mamuli o kona manao; Ua hookiekie no lakou. Sila.
8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah
9O ke poo o ka poe hoopani mai ia'u, E uhiia lakou i ka luhi o ko lakou mau lehelehe.
9May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
10E haule mai na lanahu maluna o lakou; E kiolaia lakou iloko o ke ahi, Iloko hoi o na lua hohonu, I olo ai lakou e ku hou mai iluna.
10May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
11Aole e onipaa ma ka honua ke kanaka olelo wahahee; A e hahai koke no ka hewa i ke kanaka kolohe.
11May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.
12Ua ike no wau, e kokua mau no o Iehova i ka poe pilikia, A e hoapono hoi i ka poe ilihune.
12I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.
13Oiaio e mililani aku no ka poe pono i kou inoa; E noho no hoi ka poe hoopololei ma kou alo.
13Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.
