Psalms 35
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A Psalm of David. Strive, O LORD, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me.
1E HAKAKA, e Iehova, me na mea i hakaka me au: E paio oe me ka poe i paio mai ia'u,
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to my help.
2E lalau i ka palekaua a me ka uhikino, A e ku mai oe iluna i kokua no'u
3Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me; say unto my soul: 'I am Thy salvation.'
3Unuhi ae hoi oe i ka ihe a e keakea i ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u: E olelo mai i kuu uhane, Owau no kou ola.
4Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.
4E hoka a e hoohilahilaia ka poe i kii mai i ko'u uhane; E hoohuliia'ku lakou i hope, a e hoohokaia hoi na mea i kukakuka i ka ino no'u.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind, the angel of the LORD thrusting them.
5E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
6Let their way be dark and slippery, the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
6A pouli mai, a pahee hoi ko lakou alanui, A e alualu hoi ka anela a Iehova ia lakou.
7For without cause have they hid for me the pit, even their net, without cause have they digged for my soul.
7No ka mea, i ka hala ole, huua lakou i ka lakou upena no'u, Iloko o ka lua a lakou i eli ai no kuu uhane, i ka hala ole.
8Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself; with destruction let him fall therein.
8E kau mai ka make ike ole ia maluna ona; A e hoohei ia ia iho kana upena i huna ai; Iloko o ua make la e haule iho ai oia.
9And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in His salvation.
9E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
10All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'
10E olelo aku no hoi ka'u mau iwi a pau, E Iehova, owai la ka mea like me oe? Ka mea i hoopakele i ka mea haahaa i ka mea i oi ka ikaika i kona, Oia hoi, o ka mea ilihune me ka nele i ka mea hao wale ia ia?
11Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
11Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
12They repay me evil for good; bereavement is come to my soul.
12Ua uku mai lakou ia'u me ka hewa no ka pono, I haalele loa ia ko'u uhane.
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer, may it return into mine own bosom.
13Aka, owau nei la, i ko lakou mai ana, O ke kapa ino ka'u i aahu ai: A hookaumaha au i kuu uhane me ka hookeai, A ua hoi mai ka'u pule iloko o kuu poli iho.
14I went about as though it had been my friend or my brother; I bowed down mournful, as one that mourneth for his mother.
14Ua hele au me he mea la o ko'u hoaaloha, a o ko'u hoahanau paha ia: Ua kulou iho au me ke kaumaha, E like me ka mea kanikau no kona makuwahine.
15But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; the abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; they tear me, and cease not;
15Aka, i kuu oopa ana, olioli lakou, a akoakoa hoi, Oia hoi ua akoakoa ku e ia ia'u ka poe aki, aole hoi au i ike, Ua haehae mai lakou ia'u aole i noho malie.
16With the profanest mockeries of backbiting they gnash at me with their teeth.
16Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
17Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, mine only one from the lions.
17E ka Haku, pehea ka loihi o kou nana ana mai? E hoopakele i kuu uhane i ko lakou luku ana, A i ko'u makamae i na liona.
18I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a numerous people.
18E hoomaikai aku au ia oe iloko o ke anaina nui; E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka lehulehu.
19Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
19Mai noho a hauoli hewa mai ko'u mau enemi maluna o'u: A imo me ka maka ka poe inaina wale mai ia'u.
20For they speak not peace; but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
20No ka mea, aole lakou i olelo ma ke kuikahi; Ua kukakuka lakou i na mea hoopunipuni ku e i na mea noho malie ma ka aina.
21Yea, they open their mouth wide against me; they say: 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.'
21Oiaio, ua hoohamama loa lakou i ko lakou waha ia'u; I iho la lakou, Aia la! aia la! ua ike ko makou maka ia.
22Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
22Oia kau i ike mai ai, e Iehova, mai hakanu oe, E ka Haku, mai noho a mamao aku ia'u.
23Rouse Thee, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
23E paipai ia oe iho, e ala'e hoi e hoopono ia'u; Ma kuu mea e hakaka ai, e kuu Akua, e kuu Haku hoi.
24Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
24E hoopono mai ia'u, e Iehova kuu Akua, mamuli o kou pono; Mai noho a hauoli lakou maluna o'u.
25Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'
25Mai noho a olelo lakou iloko o ko lakou naau, Aia la! O ko makou makemake no ia: Mai noho a olelo lakou, Ua ale kakou ia ia.
26Let them be ashamed and abashed together that rejoice at my hurt; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.
26E hoka a e hoohilahila pu ia no hoi ka poe hauoli i ko'u poino; E hoaahuia me ka hilahila a me ka hoinoia ka poe haanui ku e mai ia'u.
27Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness; yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the LORD, who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'
27E hooho i ka olioli a e hauoli hoi ka poe kokua i kuu pono; A e olelo mau lakou, E mahaloia'ku o Iehova, Ka mea i oluolu i ka pomaikai o kana kauwa nei.
28And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, and of Thy praise all the day.
28A e hai aku kuu alelo i kou hoopono ana, A i ka hoolea nou a po ka la.
