Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
1O WAU no ke kanaka i ike i ka popilikia, Malalo o ka laau o kona ukinki.
2He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
2Ua alakai oia ia'u, a ua lawe mai ia'u iloko o ka pouli, Aole iloko o ka malamalama.
3Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
3He oiaio, ua huli ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua huli oia i kona lima e ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
4He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
4Ua hoopau oia i ko'u io, a me ko'u ili; Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau iwi.
5He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
5Ua kukulu ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua hoopuni mai ia'u i ka awaawa, a me ke kaumaha.
6He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
6Ua hoonoho mai oia ia'u ma na wahi pouli, E like me ka poe i make i ka, wa kahiko.
7He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.
7Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u i ka pa, i ole au e puka iwaho; Ua hana oia i ko'u kaula keleawe a kaumaha.
8Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
8I ka wa a'u e kahea aku ai, a nonoi aku, Pani mai la oia i ka'u pule ana.
9He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
9Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u me na pohaku i kalaiia; Ua hookeekee oia i ko'u mau alanui.
10He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
10Ua like oia ia'u me ka bea e hoohalua ana, Me he liona la hoi ma na wahi malu.
11He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
11Ua kapae oia i ko'u mau aoao, ua haehae mai ia'u; Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i mehameha.
12He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
12Ua hoolena oia i kona kakaka, Ua kau oia ia'u me he hoailona la no ka pua.
13He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
13Ua hookomo mai oia i kona mau pua iloko o ko'u opu.
14I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
14He mea akaaka no wau i ko'u poe kanaka a pau; O ko lakou mele akaaka, a pau ka la.
15He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
15Ua hoomaona mai oia ia'u i na mea awaawa, Ua hooona mai oia ia'u i ka laau awahia.
16He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
16Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau niho i na iliili, Ua uhi mai oia ia'u i ka lehu.
17You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
17Ua kipaku mai oe i ko'u uhane mai ka maiu aku; Poina hoi ia'u ka pomaikai.
18I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”
18I iho la au, Ua hookiia kuu ikaika, A me ka laua ana o kuu manao, mai Iehova mai;
19Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
19E manao ana hoi au i ko'u popilikia a me ko'u eha, I ka laau awaawa, a me ka laau make.
20My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
20Ke manao nui nei ko'u uhane ia mea, Me ke kulou iho iloko o'u.
21This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
21Ke hoihoi mai nei au i keia iloko o ko'u naau, A nolaila, ua laua kuu manao.
22It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail.
22No ka lokomaikai o Iehova, aole kakou i anaiia; No ka pau ole hoi o kona aloha.
23They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
23He hou mai no i na kakahiaka a pau; Ua nui loa no kou oiaio.
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
24O Iehova no ko'u kuleana, wahi a kuu uhane, Nolaila e lana'i kuu manao ia ia.
25The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
25Ua maikai o Iehova i ka poe kakali ia ia, I ka uhane hoi i imi aku ia ia.
26It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
26He mea maikai ke lana ka manao, no ka hoolaia mai e Iehova, me ka ekemu ole hoi.
27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
27He mea maikai i ke kanaka ke lawe i ka auamo i kona wa opiopio.
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
28Ke noho mehameha ia me ka ekemu ole, No ka mea, [na ke Akua no] i kau ia mea maluna ona.
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
29Ke waiho hoi ia i kona waha ma ka lepo, Ina paha e loaa ia ia ka laua o ka manao.
30Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
30Ke haawi no hoi oia i kona papalina i ka mea nana ia e hahau; Ke hoopihaia oia i ka hoowahawahaia.
31For the Lord will not cast off forever.
31Aole nae e kipaku mau loa aku o ka Haku;
32For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
32Ina e hookaumaha mai oia, e aloha mai no ia, E like me ka nui o kona lokomaikai.
33For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
33Aole no kona makemake ia e hookaumaha mai ai, A hoeha i na keiki a kanaka.
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
34E hahi malalo iho o kona mau wawae, I na mea pio a pau o ka honua,
35to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
35E hoohuli ae i ka pono o ke kanaka, Mai ka maka ae o ka Mea kiekie,
36to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
36E hana kekee i ke kanaka i kona hookolokoloia, Aole i apono mai ka Haku ia mau mea.
37Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
37Owai ka mea nana e olelo, a ko no, Ke kauoha ole mai ka Haku?
38Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
38Mai ka waha mai o ka Mea kiekie, Aole i puka mai ka hewa, a me ka maikai,
39Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
39No ke aha la e ohumu ai ke kanaka e ola ana, O ke kanaka hoi no kona hoopaiia?
40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
40E huli kakou i ke ano o ko kakou mau aoao, E hoao hoi, a e hoi hou aku ia Iehova.
41Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
41E hapai kakou i ko kakou mau naau a me na lima, I ke Akua iloko o ka lani.
42“We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.
42Ua hana hewa aku makou, a na kipi, Aole no hoi oe i kala mai.
43“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
43Ua uhi mai oia ia makou i ka huhu, a ua hoomaau mai; Ua pepehi mai oe, aole i aloha mai.
44You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
44Ua uhi no oe ia oe iho i ke ao, I komo ole aku ai ka pule.
45You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.
45Ua hoonoho oe ia makou i lepo i kahiliia. A i mea i hoowahawahaia iwaena o na kanaka.
46“All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
46Ua hamama ku e mai ia makou na waha a pau o ko makou poe enemi.
47Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”
47Eia no imua o makou, ka makau a me ka lua, O ka lukuia, a me ke anaiia.
48My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48Ke kahe nei na muliwai ma ko'u mau maka, No ke anaiia o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka.
49My eye pours down and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
49Ko kulu nei no ko'u maka, aole hooki, Aole hoi i hoomaha,
50until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
50A nana mai o Iehova, a ike, mai ka lani mai.
51My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
51Ke hoeha ko'u maka i ko'u naau, no na kaikamahine a pau o ko'u kulanakauhale.
52They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
52Me he manu la i hahai hala ole mai ai ko'u poe enemi ia'u me ka ikaika.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
53Ua hooki lakou i ko'u ola ma ka lua, Ua hoolei mai i ka pohaku maluna o'u.
54Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I am cut off.”
54Kahe ae la na wai maluna o kuu poo, Alaila, olelo iho la au, Ua hookiia mai au.
55I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
55Kahea aku la au i kou inoa, o Iehova, Mailoko ae o ka lua hohonu.
56You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
56Ua lohe no oe i ko'u leo; Mai huna oe i kou pepeiao, i ko'u hanu ana, a me ko'u kahea ana.
57You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
57Hookokoke mai no oe i ka la a'u i kahea aku ai la oe; I mai la hoi oe, Mai makau.
58Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
58E ka Haku, ua kokua mai oe ia'u i ka hoopiiia o kuu uhane; Nau no i hoolapanai i ko'u ola.
59LORD, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
59E Iehova, ua ike no oe i ko'u hookaumahaia, Nau no e hooponopono i ko'u hihia.
60You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
60Ua ike no oe i ko lakou hoomaau ana a pau, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau.
61You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their plans against me,
61E Iehova, ua lohe no oe i ko lakou hoowahawaha ana, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau:
62the lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
62I na olelo a ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u, A me ko lakou imi ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
63You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
63E nana i ko lakou noho ana ilalo, a me ko lakou ku ana iluna, owau no ko lakou mele akaaka.
64You will pay them back, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
64E hoihoi oe i ka hoopai ana maluna o lakou, e Iehova, E like hoi me ka hana ana a ko lakou mau lima.
65You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
65E haawi oe ia lakou i ke kaumaha o ka naau, I kou hoino hoi, ia lakou.
66You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
66Me ka huhu oe e hahai aku ai, A e luku aku ia lakou, mailalo aku o na lani o Iehova.
