Psalms 37
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
1MAI ukiuki oe no ka poe hana hewa; Aole hoi e huahua i na mea lawehala.
2For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
2No ka mea, e oki koke ia lakou e like me ka mauu, A e mae hoi e like me ka laauikiai maka.
3Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
3E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho no oe ma ka aina, a e hanai io ia'ku oe.
4So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
4E hauoli hoi oe ia Iehova, A e haawi mai no ia nou i ka makemake o kou naau:
5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
5Hookaa aku i kou aoao ia Iehova; E hilinai aku hoi ia ia. a nana no hoi e hana.
6And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.
6A e hoopuka mai hoi oia i kou pono e like me ka malamalama, A me kou hooponoponoia e like me ka la ku pono.
7Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
7E noho malie ia Iehova, a e kali ahonui ia ia; Mai noho a ukiuki no ke kanaka e pookeokeo ana i kona aoao iho, No ke kanaka e hana ana ma na manao hewa.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
8E waiho i ka huhu, e haalele hoi i ka inaina; Mai nauki iki e hana hewa ai.
9For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
9No ka mea, e okiia'ku ka poe hana hewa; Aka, o ka poe manaolana ia Iehova, e loaa ia lakou ka honua.
10And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
10A liuliu iki aku, aole ka mea lawehala; Oiaio, e hoomanao ikaika oe i kona wahi, aole hoi ia.
11But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
11Aka, e loaa ka honua i ka poe hoohaahaa; He hauoli lakou i ka pomaikai nui wale.
12The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.
12Kukakuka ku e ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A nau iho la me kona mau niho ia ia.
13The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.
13E akaaka mai no nae ka Haku ia ia; No ka mea, ua ike oia i ke kokoke ana mai o kona la.
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;
14Ua unuhi ae la ka poe hewa i ka pahikaua, Ua lena hoi i ka lakou kakaka, E hoolilo i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe haahaa, A e hoomake hoi i ka poe e hele pono ana.
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
15E komo no ko lakou pahikaua i ko lakou naau iho; A e uhakiia ka lakou kakaka.
16Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
16Ua oi aku ka waiwai uuku o ke kanaka pono Mamna o ka waiwai nui o ka poe hewa he nui.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
17No ka mea, e uhakiia na lima o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa iho o Iehova i ka poe pono.
18The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
18Ua ike o Iehova i na la o ka poe ku pono; A e mau loa ana no hoi ko lakou hooilina.
19They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
19Aole lakou e hoka i ka manawa ino; A i ke kau wi e maona no lakou.
20For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
20Aka, e make no ka poe hewa, A e like auanei oa enemi o Iehova me'ka momona o na keikihipa; E pau lakou i ke ahi, e lilo lakou i uahi.
21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
21Ua noi e lawe iki ka mea hewa i ka hai. aole nae i hoihoi mai: Aka e lokomaikai aka ka mea pono, a haawi wale aku no.
22For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
22Nolaila o ka poe hoomaikaiia e ia e loaa ia lakou ka honua; Aka, o ka poe i hoinoia e ia e okiia lakou.
23It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.
23Ua hooku pono ia e Iehova na kapuwai o ke kanaka pono; Oluolu mai no oia i kona hele ana.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
24Ina e hina ia aole ia e hoohiolo loa ia: No ka mea, ua hookupaa o Iehova ia ia me kona lima.
25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
25Opiopio aku la au, a ua elemakule ae nei, Aole hoi au i ike i ka mea pono i haaleleia, Aole hoi i kana hua e makilo berena ana.
26All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
26He aloha mau kona, a ua haawi aka no; Pomaikai no hoi kana hua.
27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
27E haalele i ka hewa, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho mau loa aku.
28For the LORD loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
28No ka mea, ua makemake no Iehova i ka hoopono ana: Aole ia i haalele i kona poe haipule; E hoomalu mau loa ia hoi lakou; Aka, e okiia ka hua a ka poe hewa.
29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
29E loaa ka aina i ka poe pono, A e noho mau lakou ilaila.
30The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
30Ua olelo ka waha o ka mea pono ma ka naauao; A ua kamailio kona alelo ma ka hoopono ana.
31The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.
31Maloko o kona naau ke kanawai o kona Akua; Aole kapuwai ona e kapeke ai.
32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
32Kiai ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A imi hoi ia e hoomake ia ia.
33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.
33Aole e waiho mai o Iehova ia ia iloko o kona lima, Aole hoi e hoahewa ia ia i kona wa e hookolokoloia'i.
34Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
34E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e malama i kona aoao: A e hookiekie oia ia oe e komo i ka aina; Aia okiia ka poe hewa, e ike ako no oe ia.
35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
35Ua ike aku au i ke kanaka hewa e weliweli ai, E hoopalahalaha ana ia ia iho e like me ka laau uliuli i kona wahi iho.
36But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
36Aka, ua hala aku la ia aia hoi, aole iho la ia; Oiaio, imi aku la au ia ia, aole hoi ia i loaa.
37Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.
37E noonoo i ke kanaka hemolele, E nana hoi i ka mea kupono: No ka mea, o ka hope o ua kanaka la, he pomaikai no ia.
38But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
38Aka, e luku pu ia ka poe lawehala; A o ka hope o ka poe hewa, e okiia no ia.
39But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
39Aka, no Iehova mai ke ola o ka poe pono: Oia ko lakou ikaika i ka wa popilikia.
40And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.
40A e kokua mai o Iehova ia lakou, a e hoakea mai ia lakou, E hoopakele oia ia lakou i ka poe hewa, A e hoola ia lakou. no ko lakou hilinai ana ia ia.
