Halelu 74
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1E KE Akua, o ke aha kau mea e mamao mau loa aku ai? No ke aha la e wela mai ai kou huhu i na hipa o kou aina?
1Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
2E hoomanao oe i kou ekalesia au i kuai kahiko loa ai, Ka ohana o kou hooilina au i kuai ai; O keia mauna Ziona kahi i noho ai oe.
2Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
3E hoeu i kou wawae i ka neoneo mau ana; I na mea a pau a ka enemi i hana hewa ai iloko e kou wahi hoano.
3Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4Ua uwo kou poe enemi iloko o na anaina; Ua kau lakou i ko lakou mau hae i hoailona.
4Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
5Kaulana aku la ke kanaka, E like me kona hapai ana i na koi i na laau paapu.
5It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
6Aka ano, ke wawahi nei lakou i kona mea i kalaiia, Me na koi a me na hamare.
6And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
7Ua hoolei lakou i ke ahi iloko o kou wahi hoano, Ua hoohaumia lakou ilalo i ka lepo i ka halelewa o kou inoa.
7They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
8I iho la lakou ma ko lakou naau, E luku pu kakou ia lakou; Ua hoopau i ke ahi i na halehalawai a pau o ke Akua ma ka aina.
8They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9Aole kakou i ike i ko kakou mau hoailona; Aole he kaula hou ae; Aohe mea iwaena o kakou i ike i ka loihi ana.
9We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10E ke Akua, pehea ka loihi o ko ka enemi hoino ana mai? E hoino wale anei ka enemi i kou inoa i ka manawa pau ole?
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
11No ke aha la oe i hoihoi aku ai i kou lima, i kou lima akau? E unuhi ae ia mai loko ae o kou poli.
11Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
12No ka mea, o ke Akua ko'u Alii mai kinohi mai, E hana ana ma ke ola iwaena o ka honua.
12Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kai me kou ikaika: Wawahi iho la oe i na poo o na kerokodila ma na wai.
13Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14Ulupa iho la oe i na poo o ka leviatana, A haawi ia ia i ai na na kanaka o ka waonahele.
14Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
15Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kumuwai me ka muliwai: Hoomaloo iho la oe i na waikahe ikaika.
15Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
16Nou no ke ao, nou no hoi ka po: Ua hoomakaukau oe i ka malamalama a me ka la.
16Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
17Ua hoonohonoho oe i na palena a pau o ka honua; Ua hana hoi oe i ka hoilo a me ka makalii.
17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
18E hoomanao oe i keia, ua hoino wale ka enemi, e Iehova, A ua kuamuamu wale na kanaka naaupo i kou inoa.
18Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
19Mai noho a haawi i ka uhane o kau manu nunu i ka poe ino: Mai hoopoina mau loa i ke anaina o kou poe ilihune.
19O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
20E manao mai oe i ka berita; No ka mea, ua paapu na wahi pouli o ka honua i na wahi e noho ai ka lalauwale.
20Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21Mai noho a hoi hou ka poe i hooluhihewaia me ka hilahila; Aka, e hoolea aku i kou inoa ka poe ilihune a me ka haahaa.
21O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
22E ku iluna, e ko Akua, e hakaka i ko'u hakaka: E hoomanao i ko ke kanaka naaupo hoino wale ana ia oe i na la a pau.
22Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
23Mai hoopoina i ka leo o kou poe enemi: Ke mahuahua mai nei ka haunaele ana o ka poe ku e ia oe.
23Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
