Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Hear, LORD, my righteous plea. Give ear to my prayer that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
1E HOOLOHE mai i ka pono, e Iehova; E manao mai oe i ka'u ulono ana'ku; E maliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u pule, Mai loko ae o na lehelehe hookamani ole.
2Let my sentence come out of your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
2Mai kou alo pono mai e puka mai ai ka olelo no'u; E nana mai kou mau maka i na mea ewaewa ole.
3You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
3Ua hoao mai nei oe i ko'u naau; Ua ike mai nei oe ia'u i ka po; Ua hoao mai nei oe ia'u, aohe e loaa ia oe: Ua paa kuu manao aole e hoohala kuu waha.
4As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
4I na hana a kanaka, no ka olelo pono mai a kou mau lehelehe, Ua malama au ia'u iho i na aoao o ka mea e make ai.
5My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.
5E hookupono mai oe i ko'u hele ana ma kou mau alanui, I ole ai ko'u mou kapuwai e pahee.
6I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
6Ua kahea aku au ia oe, no ka mea, e lohe mai no oe ia'u, e ke Akua; E haliu mai ia'u kou pepeiao, e lono mai i ka'u olelo.
7Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
7E hoike mai oe i kou lokomaikai kupaianaha, E ka mea nana ka poe hilinai e hoopakele me kou lima akau i ka poe i ku e mai.
8Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
8E malama mai oe ia'u e like me ke kii onohi o ka maka, E huna oe ia'u malalo ae o ka malu o kou mau eheu,
9from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
9Mai ke alo mai o ka poe hewa i hooluhi mai ai ia'u, O ko'u poe enemi e make ai i hoopuni mai ia'u.
10They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
10Ua puni lakou i ko lakou momona: Ua olelo haaheo lakou me ko lakou waha.
11They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
11Ua hoopuni iho nei lakou ia makou i ko makou hele ana, Ua haka ko lakou maka me ke kulou ana ma ka lepo;
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
12Me he liona pololi la e kuko ana i kana pio. Me he liona opiopio la, e moemoe malu ana ma na wahi anoano.
13Arise, LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
13E ku ae, e Iehova, e hoolapuwale ia ia, e kiola oe ia ia ilalo: E hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka mea ino, i kau pahikaua;
14from men by your hand, LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
14I na kanaka, i ka lima on, e Iehova, I ka poe ma keia ao, i loaa ko lakou waiwai i keia ola ana, Ua hoopihaia mai e oe ko lakou opu me kou waiwai i hunaia: Ua maona ko lakou mau kamalii, A waiho no lakou i ke koena na ka lakou mau keiki hou.
15As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
15A owau hoi la, e ike auanei au i kou maka me ka pono; Aia e ala hou au me kou ano, alaila au e maha io ai.
