Psalms 139
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, Thou hast searched me, and known me.
1E IEHOVA, ua haka pono mai oe ia'u, a ua ike hoi.
2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.
2Ua ike no oe i ko'u noho ana ilalo, a me ko'u ala ana iluna, Ua maopopo hoi ko'u manao ia oe ma kahi loihi e aku.
3Thou measurest my going about and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
3Ua hoao mai oe i ko'u ala ana, a me ko'u moe ana, A ua ikea no ko'u mau aoao a pau ia oe.
4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.
4No ka mea, aohe olelo ma ko'u alelo, Aia hoi, e Iehova, ua ike no oe ia mau mea a pau.
5Thou hast hemmed me in behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me.
5Ua hooke mai oe ia'u, ma hope, a mamua, A ua kau mai i kou lima maluna o'u.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too high, I cannot attain unto it.
6Ua oi aku ke kupanaha o ia ike ana mamua o ko'u, Ua kiekie loa, aole au e hiki aku ilaila.
7Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
7Mahea la wau e hele ai, mai ko'u uhane aku? Mahea la wau e pee aku ai, mai kou alo aku?
8If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there.
8Ina pii aku au i ka lani malaila no oe, Inaehalii au i kahi moe ma ka malu o ka make, aia no oe;
9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
9Ina lawe au i na eheu o ke kakahiaka, A noho hoi ma na kihi o ka moana;
10Even there would Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand would hold me.
10Malaila no kou lima e alakai ai ia'u, A na kou lima akua hoi e hoopaa ia'u.
11And if I say: 'Surely the darkness shall envelop me, and the light about me shall be night';
11A ina olelo au, Oiaio, e haule mai ka pouli maluna o'u, Alaila, e lilo no ka po i malamalama a puni au.
12Even the darkness is not too dark for Thee, but the night shineth as the day; the darkness is even as the light.
12Aole hoi e hoonalo ka pouli i kekahi mea ia oe, Hoomalamalama mai ka po me he ao la: Ua like no ka pouli, ua like hoi ka malamalama.
13For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together in my mother's womb.
13No ka mea, nau no i hooponopono i ko'u naau; A nau hoi i malama mai ia'u, ma ka opu o ko'u makuwahine.
14I will give thanks unto Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
14E mililani aku au ia oe, No ka mea, o kau hana kupanaha no wau a me ka makau; He kupanaha hoi kau mau hana, Ua ike pono no ko'u uhane.
15My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
15Aole i nalo ko'u kino ia oe, Ia'u i hanaia'i ma kahi malu, A kapili akamai ia malalo i ka honua.
16Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written — even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
16Ike mai no kou mau maka i ko'u opuu ana; A pau no hoi i ke kakauia iloko o kau buke, Na mea o'u i hooponoponoia'i mahope, Ia manawa, aole kekahi o ia mau mea.
17How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
17A ia'u hoi, nani ka waiwai o kou mau manao, e ke Akua! Nani hoi ka lehulehu o ko lakou mau haina!
18If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand; were I to come to the end of them, I would still be with Thee.
18Ina e helu wau, ua oi aku ko lakou kinikini mamua o ke one: Ia'u e ala'i, ua mau loa no au me oe.
19If Thou but wouldest slay the wicked, O God — depart from me therefore, ye men of blood;
19E pepehi io mai no oe i ka poe hewa, e ke Akua; E na kanaka koko, e hele aku oukou, mai o'u aku nei.
20Who utter Thy name with wicked thought, they take it for falsehood, even Thine enemies —
20Ka poe olelo hewa aku ia oe, Ua hookieide kou poe enemi ma ka lapuwale.
21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee?
21E Iehova, aole anei au i inaina aku i ka poe inaina ia oe? A hoopailua hoi i ka poe ala ku e ia oe?
22I hate them with utmost hatred; I count them mine enemies.
22Ua inaina aku au ia lakou, me ka inaina hemolele; He poe enemi lakou no'u.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts;
23E huli mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua, a e ike i ko'u naau; E hoao mai oe ia'u, a e ike i ko'u manao.
24And see if there be any way in me that is grievous, and lead me in the way everlasting.
24E nana mai hoi ina paha he aoao hewa iloko o'u, A e alakai ia'u ma ka aoao ola loa.
