Psalms 55
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1(55-1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. (55-2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
1E HALIU mai i ka pepeiao i ka'u pule, e ke Akua, Mai hoonalo ia oe iho mai ka'u nonoi ana aku.
2(55-3) Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;
2E nana mai ia'u a e hoolohe mai ia'u; Ke u nei au i ko'u manao ana, me ka auwe;
3(55-4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
3No ka leo o ka enemi, No ka hooluhi hewa ana mai o ka mea hewa: No ka mea, ua hooili mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o'u, A i ka ukiuki ua inaina mai lakou ia'u.
4(55-5) My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
4Ua ehaeha loa ko'u naau iloko o'u; A ua haule mai ko ka make mau mea weliweli maluna o'u.
5(55-6) Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
5Ua kau mai maluna o'u ka makau a me ka haalulu; Ua popoiia mai au e ka weliweli.
6(55-7) And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
6A olelo iho la au, Owai ka mea e haawi ia'u i mau eheu me he manu nunu la? E lele aku au i kahi e, a e hoomaha iho.
7(55-8) Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah
7Aia hoi e hele kaawale loa aku au, A e noho ma ka waonahele. Sila.
8(55-9) I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
8Alaila e hoolalelale au i kuu pakele ana, I ka makani nui o ka ino.
9(55-10) Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
9E hookae, e Iehova, a hoomokuahana i ka lakou mau alelo: No ka mea, ua ike au i ka hooluhi wale a me ka hakaka ana malok'o o ke kulanakauhale.
10(55-11) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
10I ke ao, a me ka po, i holoholo ai lakou maluna o kona mau pa; He kolohe, a he pioloke ka iwaena konu ona.
11(55-12) Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.
11Iwaena konu ona ka hana hewa ana; Aole haalele ka hoopunipuni a me ka wahahee i kona mau alanui.
12(55-13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
12No ka mea, aole he enemi, ka i hoino mai ia'u; Ina pela hiki no ia'u ke hoomanawanui: Aole ka mea inaina mai ia'u ka i hookiekie ku e mai ia'u; Ilaila i pee aku ai au mai ona aku la:
13(55-14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;
13Aka, o oe no ia, he kanaka e ku like ana me au, Ka'u punahele, a o ko'u hoalauna hoi.
14(55-15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.
14Ua kamailio oluolu pu kaua, A ua hele pu i ka hale o ke Akua me ka lehulehu.
15(55-16) May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.
15E lalau mai ka make ia lakou, E iho koke lakou ilalo i ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, he hewa ko loko o ko lakou mau hale, a iwaena o lakou.
16(55-17) As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
16Aka, owau nei la, e kahea aku au i ke Akua; A e hoola mai no o Iehova ia'u.
17(55-18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.
17I ke ahiahi, i ke kakahiaka, i ke awakea, e pule aku ai au, A e kahea nui aku au; a e hoolohe mai oia i ko'u leo.
18(55-19) He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.
18Me ka maluhia e hoopakele oia i ko'u uhane i ke kaua mai ia'u; No ka mea, ua nui ka poe me au.
19(55-20) God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, Selah, such as have no changes, and fear not God.
19E hoolohe mai no ke Akua, a e hoohaahaa ia lakou, O ka mea mai kahiko mai. Sila. No ka mea, aohe o lakou luli ana; Nolaila, aole o lakou makau i ke Akua.
20(55-21) He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
20Ua kikoo oia i kona lima i ka mea e kuikahi ana me ia; Ua uhai oia i kana berita.
21(55-22) Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.
21Ua oi aku ka pahee o kana mau olelo mamua o ko ka bata, Aka, he kaua ko loko o kona naau: Ua oi aku ka oluolu o kana mau olelo i ko ka aila; Aka, he mau pahikaua unuhiia lakou.
22(55-23) Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
22E waiho aku i kau mea kaumaha maluna o Iehova, A e Kokua mai oia ia oe: Aole loa ia e waiho mai i ka mea pono e hoonauweia.
23(55-24) But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.
23Aka, e ke Akua, e hoohaahaa iho oe ia lakou i ka lua o ka make: O na kanaka koko a me ka hoopunipuni, aole lakou e ola a pau ka hapalua o ko lakou mau la; Aka, e hilinai aku au ia oe.
