Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1I love you, LORD, my strength.
1E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
2O Iehova ko'u pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me ko'u mea e ola'i; O ko'u Akua, ko'u oolea, a'u e hilinai ai; O ko'u paku, o ko'u hao e ola'i, o ko'u halepukaua kiekie.
3I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
3E kahea aku au ia Iehova, ia ia ka hoolea, Pela au e hoopakeleia'i i ko'u mau enemi.
4The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
4Ua puni au i ka ehaeha o ka make; Ua hooweliweli mai ia'u na ale o ka poe aia.
5The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.
5Ua puni au i na kaei o ka malu o ka make; Ua paa au i ko ka make upena.
6In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
6I ko u popilikia ana, ua kahea aku au ia Iehova, Ua auwe aku au i ko'u Akua; Ua lohe mai no ia ia'u ma kona luakini, Ua hiki aku kuu ulono imua ona, a i kona mau pepeiao.
7Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
7Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua a me ka haalulu; Nauweuwe iho la ua kumu o na mauna, Ua hoonauweia mai ia no kona inaina.
8Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
8Ua pukoa ae la ka uahi mai loko ae o kona mau puka ihu. Mai loko mai o kona waha ke ahi e ai ana; Ua kukuniia ka lanahu e ia.
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
9Ua hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la; Malalo hoi o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
10He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
10Ua holo ia ma ke keruba, ua lele no hoi ia: Oiaio, ua lele oia ma na eheu o ka makani.
11He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
11Ua hoolilo oia i ka pouli i wahi mehameha nona: O kona halelowa i hoopuni ia ia, a o na wai pouli a me na a eleele o ka lani.
12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
12No ka olinolino imua ona, ua lele ae la kona mau ao eleele, O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
13The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
13Ua hoohekili mai la o Iehova ma ka lani; Ua hoopuka mai la ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo: O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
14He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
14Ua pehi iho la i kana mau pua, e hoopuehu ia lakou; Ua pana iho la i na uwila, a ua auhee lakou ia ia.
15Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
15Alaila, ua ikea na kaha o na wai, Ua hoikeia mai na kumu o ka honua, I kau papa ana mai, e Iehova, i ka nou ana hoi o ka hanu o kou mau puka ihu.
16He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
16Ua kii mai la oia mai luna mai, ua lawe ae hoi ia'u, Ua unuhi aku la oia ia'u mai loko o na wai nui.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
17Ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ko'u mau enemi ikaika, A me ka poe inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
18They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
18Ua hoopaa mai lakou ia'u i ko'u la popilikia: Aka, ua lilo mai o Iehova i kokua no'u.
19He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
19Ua lawe ae la oia ia'u i kahi akea; Ua hoopakele mai no ia ia'u, no kona makemake ana mai ia'u.
20The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
20Ua uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; Ua hoopai mai no ia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
21No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
22For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
22Mamua hoi o ko'u alo kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au e pale aku i kana mau kauoha.
23I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
23Ua kupono hoi au imua ona; Ua hookaawale mai au ia'u iho mai ko'u hewa mai.
24Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
24Nolaila, i hoopai mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono. E like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima imua o kona alo.
25With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
25Me ka mea lokomaikai e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai, Me ke kanaka hoopono e hoike aua oe ia oe iho he pono;
26With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
26Me ka mea maemae, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he maemae; Me ka mea hooolea, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho ho oolea.
27For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
27No ka mea, e hoola ana oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, e hoohaahaa oe i na maka kiekie.
28For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness.
28No ka mea, e kuni no oe i ko'u kukui, E koomalamalama mai no o Iehova o ko'u Akua i ko'u pouli.
29For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
29Nou no wau i wahi ae ai i ka poe kaua; No ko'u Akua i lehai aku ai au maluna o ka pa.
30As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
30A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao: Ua hoaoia ka olelo a Iehova; He paku oia no na mea a pau i paulele aku ia ia.
31For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
31Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
32the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
32O ke Akua ka i kakoo mai ia'u me ka ikaika; Nana no i hoopololei mai i ko'u hele ana.
33He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
33Ua hoolilo no oia i kuu mau wawae e like me na wawae dia: Ua hoonoho oia ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
34He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
34Ua ao mai no oia i ko'u mau lima e kaua; I haki ai i ko'u lima ke kikoo keleawe.
35You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
35Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i kou paku e ola'i: Ua hookupaa mai ia'u kou lima akau? A o kou ahonui ka i hoomakua mai nei ia'u.
36You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
36Ua hoakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u; Aole hoi i pahee kuu mau wawae.
37I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
37Ua alualu aku au i kuu mau enemi a loaa lakou; Ua pau e hoi lakou ia'u mamua o ko'u hoi ana mai.
38I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
38Ua pepehi aku au ia lakou. aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku ae iluna; Ua pau lakou i ka hina malalo ae o ko'u mau wawae.
39For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
39Ua kakoo mai no oe ia'u me ka ikaika i ke kaua; Ua hoohaahaa iho oe malalo iho o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
40You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
40Ua haawi mai no oe ia'u i ka a-i o ko'u mau enemi; I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
41They cried, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
41Ua kabea aku la lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole no hoi ia i ae mai.
42Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
42Alaila, ua pakuikui au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la imua o a makani: Ua kiola aku au ia lakou e like me ka lepo ma ke alanui.
43You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
43Ua hoopakele oe ia'u i ka paio ana o na kanaka; Ua hoolilo oe ia'u i poo no na lahuikanaka e; E malama mai ana no ia'u ka poe kanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
44As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
44A kui ka lono o'u, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u; E hooloho mai no ia'u na keiki a kanaka e.
45The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
45E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
46The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
46Ke ola mau nei no Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku, E hapaiia'ku ko'u Akua e ola'i.
47even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
47O ke Akua ka i haawi mai na'u e hoopai aku: Oia ka i hoolilo i Kanaka malalo iho o'u:
48He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
48Oia ka i hoopakele ia'u i ko'u mau enemi: Nau no wau i hookiekie ae maluna o ka poe i ku o mai ia'u; Nau no wau i hoola i ke kanaka pepehi wale mai.
49Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
49Nolaila au e hoomaikai aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o ko na aina e: E hoolea aku hoi au i kou inoa.
50He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
50Nani no kona hoola ana i kana alii; Ua aloha mau mai no ia i kona mea poui, ia Davida, a me kana mamo.
