Halelu 44
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
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.
1We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
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:
2How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
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.
3For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4O oe no ko'u Alii, e ke Akua; E kauoha mai i ka hoola ana ia Iakoba.
4Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
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.
5Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6No ka mea, aole ma kuu kakaka e hilinai aku ai au: Aole hoi e hoola mai ka'u pahikaua ia'u.
6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7Aka, nau no makou i hoopakele i ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoohoka oe i ka poe i inaina mai ia makou.
7But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8Iloko o ke Akua e kaena ai makou a po ka la, A e hoomaikai mau loa aku i kou inoa. Sila.
8In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9Aka, ua haalele ae nei oe a ua hoohilahila ia makou; Aole hoi oe i hele pu me ko makou poe kaua.
9But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
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.
10Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11Ua haawi oe ia makou me he mau hipa la e lilo i ai; Ua hoopuehu hoi ia makou iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
11Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12Ua kuai hoolilo aku oe i kou poe kanaka no ka mea ole, Aole hoi i hoomahuahua ma ka uku no lakou.
12Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
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.
13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14Ua hoolilo oe ia makou i huaolelo ino, A i luli poo ana iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
14Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15E mau ana ko'u hoinoia imua o ko'u maka; A ua uhi mai ka hilahila o ko'u maka ia'u:
15My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16No ka leo o ka mea i hailiili a i hoino wale mai; No ka enemi hoi a me ka mea hoopai.
16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
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.
17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18Aole i hoohuliia ko makou naau, Aole hoi i kapae ae ko makou mau kapuwai mai kou aoao ae;
18Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19Ua hanapepe loa oe ia makou ma kahi nahesa; A ua hoouhi mai oe ia makou me ka malu o ka make.
19Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20Ina i hoopoina makou i ka inoa o ko makou Akua, Ina i kikoo aku ko makou mau lima i kahi akua wahahee;
20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21Aole anei i imi ke Akua ia mea? No ka mea, ua ike oia i na mea huna o ka naau.
21Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22Oiaio, nou makou i pepehiia'i a po ka la; Ua manaoia makou me he mau hipa la e hoomakeia.
22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
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.
23Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24No ke aha la i huna ai oe i kou maka? A i hoopoina hoi i ko makou popilikia, a me ko makou hooluhihewaia?
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25No ka mea, ua kulou iho ko makou uhane i ka lepo; Ua pili ko makou opu i ka honua.
25For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26E ku mai oe e kokua no makou, A e hoola ia makou no kou aloha.
26Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
