Psalms 44
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1(44-1) For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. (44-2) O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
1E KE Akua, ua lohe makou me ko makou mau pepeiao, Ua hai mai ko makou mau makua ia makou, I na hana au i hana'i i ko lakou mau la, i na wa kahiko.
2(44-3) Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
2Kipaku aku la oe i na lahuikanaka me kou lima, a hookomo mai ia lakou la; Hoopilikia iho la oe i na kanaka a kiola aku la:
3(44-4) For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
3No ka mea, aole me ka lakou pahikaua iho i loaa ai ia lakou ka aina; Aole hoi no ko lakou lima ponoi i hoola iho ia lakou iho: Aka, o kou peahi akau, a me kou lima, a me ka malamalama o kou maka; No ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oe ia lakou.
4(44-5) Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.
4O oe no ko'u Alii, e ke Akua; E kauoha mai i ka hoola ana ia Iakoba.
5(44-6) Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
5Ma ou la e pahu aku ai makou i ko makou poe enemi: Ma kou inoa e hehi iho ai makou i ka poe ku e iluna ia makou.
6(44-7) For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
6No ka mea, aole ma kuu kakaka e hilinai aku ai au: Aole hoi e hoola mai ka'u pahikaua ia'u.
7(44-8) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
7Aka, nau no makou i hoopakele i ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoohoka oe i ka poe i inaina mai ia makou.
8(44-9) In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah
8Iloko o ke Akua e kaena ai makou a po ka la, A e hoomaikai mau loa aku i kou inoa. Sila.
9(44-10) Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
9Aka, ua haalele ae nei oe a ua hoohilahila ia makou; Aole hoi oe i hele pu me ko makou poe kaua.
10(44-11) Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
10A ua hoohuli oe ia makou i hope mai ka enemi mai; A o ka poe hoowahawaha ia makou, ua hao mai lakou no lakou iho.
11(44-12) Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
11Ua haawi oe ia makou me he mau hipa la e lilo i ai; Ua hoopuehu hoi ia makou iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
12(44-13) Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
12Ua kuai hoolilo aku oe i kou poe kanaka no ka mea ole, Aole hoi i hoomahuahua ma ka uku no lakou.
13(44-14) Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
13Ua waiho oe ia makou he mea e hoinoia iwaena o ko makou poe hoanoho, He mea e hoowahawaha ai a e henehene ai no ka poe e hoopuni ana ia makou.
14(44-15) Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
14Ua hoolilo oe ia makou i huaolelo ino, A i luli poo ana iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
15(44-16) All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
15E mau ana ko'u hoinoia imua o ko'u maka; A ua uhi mai ka hilahila o ko'u maka ia'u:
16(44-17) For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
16No ka leo o ka mea i hailiili a i hoino wale mai; No ka enemi hoi a me ka mea hoopai.
17(44-18) All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.
17Ua pau ia mea i ke kau mai maluna o makou, Aole hoi makou i hoopoina ia oe; Aole hoi i hoopunipuni makou ma kou berita.
18(44-19) Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;
18Aole i hoohuliia ko makou naau, Aole hoi i kapae ae ko makou mau kapuwai mai kou aoao ae;
19(44-20) Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
19Ua hanapepe loa oe ia makou ma kahi nahesa; A ua hoouhi mai oe ia makou me ka malu o ka make.
20(44-21) If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
20Ina i hoopoina makou i ka inoa o ko makou Akua, Ina i kikoo aku ko makou mau lima i kahi akua wahahee;
21(44-22) Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
21Aole anei i imi ke Akua ia mea? No ka mea, ua ike oia i na mea huna o ka naau.
22(44-23) Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
22Oiaio, nou makou i pepehiia'i a po ka la; Ua manaoia makou me he mau hipa la e hoomakeia.
23(44-24) Awake, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever.
23E ala'e, o ke aha kou mea e hiamoe ai, e ka Haku? E ku mai hoi iluna, mai haalele mai ia makou a mau loa.
24(44-25) Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
24No ke aha la i huna ai oe i kou maka? A i hoopoina hoi i ko makou popilikia, a me ko makou hooluhihewaia?
25(44-26) For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
25No ka mea, ua kulou iho ko makou uhane i ka lepo; Ua pili ko makou opu i ka honua.
26(44-27) Arise for our help, and redeem us for Thy mercy's sake.
26E ku mai oe e kokua no makou, A e hoola ia makou no kou aloha.
