Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
1U A hoopilikia pinepine mai lakou ia'u, Mai ko'u wa opiopio mai, wahi a ka Iseraela;
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
2Ua hoopilikia pinepine mai lakou ia'u, mai ko'u wa opiopio mai; Aole nae lakou i lanakila mai maluna o'u.
3The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
3Ma ko'u kua i kahakaha ai ka poe kahakaha; A hana lakou i ko lakou kaha a loihi.
4The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
4Ua pono no o Iehova; Ua oki mai oia i na kaula o ka poe hewa.
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
5E hoohilahilaia a e hoihoi hope ia mai, Ka poe a pau e inaina mai ia Ziona.
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
6E like auanei lakou, me ka mauu maluna o na hale, Mae wale, ia mamua o ka liko ana.
7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
7Aole e piha ka lima o ka mea i oki iho, Aole hoi ka umauma o ka mea hoopua i na pua.
8Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”
8Aole hoi e olelo mai ka poe e hele ae, Maluna o oukou auanei ka hoomaikai ana o Iehova: Ke hoomaikai aku nei makou ia oukou ma ka inoa o Iehova.
