Halelu 58
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English 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 righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you 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 heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands 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 go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
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 poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
5Ka mea e lohe ole no i ka leo o ka poe hoowalewale, E hoowale wale ana me ke akamai loa.
5which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
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.
6Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.
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.
7Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
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.
8Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen 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 heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
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 shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his 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.
11so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
