Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
1E KE Akua, ua lohe makou me ko makou mau pepeiao, Ua hai mai ko makou mau makua ia makou, I na hana au i hana'i i ko lakou mau la, i na wa kahiko.
2You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
2Kipaku aku la oe i na lahuikanaka me kou lima, a hookomo mai ia lakou la; Hoopilikia iho la oe i na kanaka a kiola aku la:
3For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
3No ka mea, aole me ka lakou pahikaua iho i loaa ai ia lakou ka aina; Aole hoi no ko lakou lima ponoi i hoola iho ia lakou iho: Aka, o kou peahi akau, a me kou lima, a me ka malamalama o kou maka; No ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oe ia lakou.
4God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
4O oe no ko'u Alii, e ke Akua; E kauoha mai i ka hoola ana ia Iakoba.
5Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
5Ma ou la e pahu aku ai makou i ko makou poe enemi: Ma kou inoa e hehi iho ai makou i ka poe ku e iluna ia makou.
6For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
6No ka mea, aole ma kuu kakaka e hilinai aku ai au: Aole hoi e hoola mai ka'u pahikaua ia'u.
7But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
7Aka, nau no makou i hoopakele i ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoohoka oe i ka poe i inaina mai ia makou.
8In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
8Iloko o ke Akua e kaena ai makou a po ka la, A e hoomaikai mau loa aku i kou inoa. Sila.
9But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
9Aka, ua haalele ae nei oe a ua hoohilahila ia makou; Aole hoi oe i hele pu me ko makou poe kaua.
10You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
10A ua hoohuli oe ia makou i hope mai ka enemi mai; A o ka poe hoowahawaha ia makou, ua hao mai lakou no lakou iho.
11You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
11Ua haawi oe ia makou me he mau hipa la e lilo i ai; Ua hoopuehu hoi ia makou iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
12You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
12Ua kuai hoolilo aku oe i kou poe kanaka no ka mea ole, Aole hoi i hoomahuahua ma ka uku no lakou.
13You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
13Ua waiho oe ia makou he mea e hoinoia iwaena o ko makou poe hoanoho, He mea e hoowahawaha ai a e henehene ai no ka poe e hoopuni ana ia makou.
14You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
14Ua hoolilo oe ia makou i huaolelo ino, A i luli poo ana iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
15All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
15E mau ana ko'u hoinoia imua o ko'u maka; A ua uhi mai ka hilahila o ko'u maka ia'u:
16at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
16No ka leo o ka mea i hailiili a i hoino wale mai; No ka enemi hoi a me ka mea hoopai.
17All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
17Ua pau ia mea i ke kau mai maluna o makou, Aole hoi makou i hoopoina ia oe; Aole hoi i hoopunipuni makou ma kou berita.
18Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
18Aole i hoohuliia ko makou naau, Aole hoi i kapae ae ko makou mau kapuwai mai kou aoao ae;
19though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
19Ua hanapepe loa oe ia makou ma kahi nahesa; A ua hoouhi mai oe ia makou me ka malu o ka make.
20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
20Ina i hoopoina makou i ka inoa o ko makou Akua, Ina i kikoo aku ko makou mau lima i kahi akua wahahee;
21won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
21Aole anei i imi ke Akua ia mea? No ka mea, ua ike oia i na mea huna o ka naau.
22Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
22Oiaio, nou makou i pepehiia'i a po ka la; Ua manaoia makou me he mau hipa la e hoomakeia.
23Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.
23E ala'e, o ke aha kou mea e hiamoe ai, e ka Haku? E ku mai hoi iluna, mai haalele mai ia makou a mau loa.
24Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
24No ke aha la i huna ai oe i kou maka? A i hoopoina hoi i ko makou popilikia, a me ko makou hooluhihewaia?
25For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
25No ka mea, ua kulou iho ko makou uhane i ka lepo; Ua pili ko makou opu i ka honua.
26Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.
26E ku mai oe e kokua no makou, A e hoola ia makou no kou aloha.
