Halelu 58
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1KE olelo nei auei oukou i ka pono, e ke anaina? Ke hooponopono pololei anei oukou, e na keiki a kanaka?
1Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2Ua hana io nae oukou i ka hewa maloko o ko oukou naau: Ke kaupaona nei hoi oukou i ka lawe wale ana o ko oukou mau lima ma ka honua.
2No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3Ua aea wale ka poe hewa mai ka opu mai; Ua auwana lakou mai ka hanau ana, e olelo wahahee ana.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4O ko lakou aa make, ua like ia me ka awaawa make o ka nahesa; Ua like lakou me ka moopetena kuli i papani i kona pepeiao;
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5Ka mea e lohe ole no i ka leo o ka poe hoowalewale, E hoowale wale ana me ke akamai loa.
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6E uhai ae i ko lakou mau niho, e ke Akua, iloko o ko lakou waha; E uhai oe i na niho o na liona opiopio, e Iehova.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7E hehee lakou, me he mau wai la e kahe mau ana, Aia lena oia no kana mau pua, E lilo lakou me he mau mea la i okiokiia.
7May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
8Me he pupu la e hehee ana, e hele e aku lakou a pau; Me he mea hanau e la ka wahine, e ike ole lakou i ka la.
8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9Mamua o ka wela ana o ka oukou mau ipuhao i ke kakalaioa, E lawe aku oia ia lakou me ka ino makani, I ko lakou ola ana, a i kona huhu.
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10E hauoli ka mea pono i kona ike ana i ka hoopai ana; E holoi oia i kona mau kapuwai i ke koko o ka mea hewa.
10The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Pela, e olelo ke kanaka, Oiaio, he uku no hoi no ka mea pono: Oiaio hoi, he Akua no e hoopai ana ma ka honua.
11Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
