Halelu 35
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1E HAKAKA, e Iehova, me na mea i hakaka me au: E paio oe me ka poe i paio mai ia'u,
1Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
2E lalau i ka palekaua a me ka uhikino, A e ku mai oe iluna i kokua no'u
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3Unuhi ae hoi oe i ka ihe a e keakea i ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u: E olelo mai i kuu uhane, Owau no kou ola.
3Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
4E hoka a e hoohilahilaia ka poe i kii mai i ko'u uhane; E hoohuliia'ku lakou i hope, a e hoohokaia hoi na mea i kukakuka i ka ino no'u.
4Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
5E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind, the LORD’s angel driving them on.
6A pouli mai, a pahee hoi ko lakou alanui, A e alualu hoi ka anela a Iehova ia lakou.
6Let their way be dark and slippery, the LORD’s angel pursuing them.
7No ka mea, i ka hala ole, huua lakou i ka lakou upena no'u, Iloko o ka lua a lakou i eli ai no kuu uhane, i ka hala ole.
7For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
8E kau mai ka make ike ole ia maluna ona; A e hoohei ia ia iho kana upena i huna ai; Iloko o ua make la e haule iho ai oia.
8Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
9E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
9My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
10E olelo aku no hoi ka'u mau iwi a pau, E Iehova, owai la ka mea like me oe? Ka mea i hoopakele i ka mea haahaa i ka mea i oi ka ikaika i kona, Oia hoi, o ka mea ilihune me ka nele i ka mea hao wale ia ia?
10All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
11Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
11Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.
12Ua uku mai lakou ia'u me ka hewa no ka pono, I haalele loa ia ko'u uhane.
12They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
13Aka, owau nei la, i ko lakou mai ana, O ke kapa ino ka'u i aahu ai: A hookaumaha au i kuu uhane me ka hookeai, A ua hoi mai ka'u pule iloko o kuu poli iho.
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.
14Ua hele au me he mea la o ko'u hoaaloha, a o ko'u hoahanau paha ia: Ua kulou iho au me ke kaumaha, E like me ka mea kanikau no kona makuwahine.
14I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
15Aka, i kuu oopa ana, olioli lakou, a akoakoa hoi, Oia hoi ua akoakoa ku e ia ia'u ka poe aki, aole hoi au i ike, Ua haehae mai lakou ia'u aole i noho malie.
15But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
16Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
16Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.
17E ka Haku, pehea ka loihi o kou nana ana mai? E hoopakele i kuu uhane i ko lakou luku ana, A i ko'u makamae i na liona.
17Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
18E hoomaikai aku au ia oe iloko o ke anaina nui; E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka lehulehu.
18I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
19Mai noho a hauoli hewa mai ko'u mau enemi maluna o'u: A imo me ka maka ka poe inaina wale mai ia'u.
19Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
20No ka mea, aole lakou i olelo ma ke kuikahi; Ua kukakuka lakou i na mea hoopunipuni ku e i na mea noho malie ma ka aina.
20For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21Oiaio, ua hoohamama loa lakou i ko lakou waha ia'u; I iho la lakou, Aia la! aia la! ua ike ko makou maka ia.
21Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
22Oia kau i ike mai ai, e Iehova, mai hakanu oe, E ka Haku, mai noho a mamao aku ia'u.
22You have seen it, LORD. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.
23E paipai ia oe iho, e ala'e hoi e hoopono ia'u; Ma kuu mea e hakaka ai, e kuu Akua, e kuu Haku hoi.
23Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
24E hoopono mai ia'u, e Iehova kuu Akua, mamuli o kou pono; Mai noho a hauoli lakou maluna o'u.
24Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.
25Mai noho a olelo lakou iloko o ko lakou naau, Aia la! O ko makou makemake no ia: Mai noho a olelo lakou, Ua ale kakou ia ia.
25Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
26E hoka a e hoohilahila pu ia no hoi ka poe hauoli i ko'u poino; E hoaahuia me ka hilahila a me ka hoinoia ka poe haanui ku e mai ia'u.
26Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
27E hooho i ka olioli a e hauoli hoi ka poe kokua i kuu pono; A e olelo mau lakou, E mahaloia'ku o Iehova, Ka mea i oluolu i ka pomaikai o kana kauwa nei.
27Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
28A e hai aku kuu alelo i kou hoopono ana, A i ka hoolea nou a po ka la.
28My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
