Psalms 69
1 For the music director. To the tune “Lilies.” A psalm of David. God, please save me, because the water is up to my neck!
E HOOLA mai ia'u, e ke Akua; No ka mea, ua komo mai na wai i ko'u uhane.
2 I'm sinking deeper into the mud—there's no solid ground for me to stand. I find myself in deep water; floods wash over me.
Ke palemo nei au i ka lepo poho hohonu, kahi e ku ole ai: Ua hiki mai nei au i na wai hohonu; Ke kahe nei no hoi na muliwai maluna o'u.
3 I'm so tired of screaming out for help my throat is totally raw. My eyes are worn out looking for my God to help me.
Ua luhi au i kuu kahea ana aku, ua maloo kuu puu: Pau e kuu mau maka i ko'u kali ana no kuu Akua.
4 Those who hate me for no reason are more than the number of hairs on my head. Many enemies try to destroy me by telling lies. How can I give back what I didn't steal?
Ua lehulehu aku i na lauoho o kuu poo ka poe huhu hala ole mai ia'u; Ua ikaika hoi ka poe manao e pepehi mai ia'u, e ku e hewa mai ana ia'u: Alaila hoihoi aku au i ka mea a'u i kaili ole ai.
5 God, you know how foolish I am! My sins are not hidden from you.
E ke Akua, ua ike mai oe i ko'u naaupo: Aole hoi i nalo ko'u mau hewa ia oe.
6 Don't let those who trust you be ashamed because of me, Lord God Almighty. Don't let those who follow you be disgraced because of me, God of Israel.
Mai noho a hoohilahilaia no'u nei ka poe hilinai ia oe, e ka Haku, Iehova Sabaota. Mai noho a hoohokaia no'u nei ka poe imi ia oe, e ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
7 For your sake I put up with the insults; my face shows my embarrassment.
No ka mea, nou la i halihali ai au i ka hoinoia; Ua uhi mai ka hilahila i ko'u maka.
8 I have become a foreigner to my brother Israelites; a stranger to my very own brothers.
Ua lilo au i malihini i ko'u mau hoahanau, He kanaka e hoi i na keiki a ko'u makuwahine.
9 My devotion for your house is burning me up inside; the insults of those who insulted you have fallen on me.
No ka mea, ua hoopauia au e ka manao ikaika no kou hale: A o na hoino ana o ka poe hoino ia oe, ua haule mai ia maluna iho o'u.
10 I wept and I fasted, but they mocked me;
A uwe au, a hahau hoi i kuu uhane me ka hookeai ana, Oia ka'u mea i hoinoia mai ai.
11 I mourned in sackcloth, but they laughed at me.
A aahu iho la au i ke kapa ino; Lilo au i mea hoohiki wale ia.
12 People sitting by the town gate gossip about me. I'm the subject of rude songs sung by drunks.
Ua olelo ku e mai ia'u ka poe noho ma ka ipuka; A lilo hoi au i mele na ka poe inu i ka mea ona.
13 But my prayer is to you, Lord, believing this is a good time to respond to me. God, in your wonderful trustworthy love, answer me with your sure salvation.
Aka, owau nei la, aia ia oe ka'u pule, o Iehova, I ka wa maliuia; E ke Akua, ma ka nui o kou aloha, e hoolohe mai ia'u, I ka oiaio o kou ola.
14 Please rescue me from the mud—don't let me sink! Save me from those who hate me and from drowning in the deep waters!
E hoopakele ia'u i ka lepo poho, aole hoi au e palemo: E hoopakeleia au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u, a i na wai hohonu.
15 Don't let the flood waters wash over me. Don't let the deep waters pull me down. Don't let the grave close over me.
Mai noho a kahe ka waikahe maluna o'u; Mai noho a ale mai ka hohonu ia'u; Aole hoi e pani ka lua i kona waha maluna o'u.
16 Please answer my prayers, Lord, for you are good and love me with your trustworthy love; because of your kindness, please help me.
E hoolohe mai ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, he pono kou lokomaikai; Mamuli o ka nui loa o kou aloha, e maliu mai ia'u.
17 Don't turn away from me, your servant. Please answer me quickly because I'm in trouble.
Mai hoonalo i kou maka i kau kauwa; No ka mea, ua pilikia au: E hoolohe koke mai oe ia'u.
18 Come here and rescue me; set me free from my enemies.
E hookokoke mai i kuu uhane, a e hoola mai ia ia: E hoopakele ia'u no ko'u poe enemi.
19 You—you know my shame, my disgrace, my humiliation. You see everything my enemies are doing.
Ua ike ae nei oe i ko'u hoinoia, ko'u hoohilahilaia, a me ko'u heneheneia: Imua no hoi ou ko'u mau enemi a pau.
20 Insults have broken my heart—I am so sick there is no cure. I looked for some sympathy, but there was no one! Nobody showed me any compassion.
Ua haehae ko'u naau i ka hoinoia mai, a kaumaha loa au; Kali aku la au i mea e menemene mai, aole hoi; A i mau mea hooluolu mai, aole i loaa ia'u.
21 Instead they gave me bitter herbs to eat and vinegar to drink.
Ua haawi mai la lakou i ka mea awahia i ai na'u; A i kuu makewai ana ua hoohainu mai lakou ia'u i ka vinega.
22 May the table set before them become a trap for them, a net that catches them, bringing punishment.
E lilo no ko lakou papaaina i pahele imua o lakou: A o ko lakou uku i mea e hihia ai.
23 May their eyes become blind so they cannot see, and may their backs always be bent low in dejection.
E hoopouliia ko lakou mau maka i ike ole lakou; A e hoohaalulu mau no hoi oe i ko lakou mau puhaka.
24 Pour out your judgment on them; chase them down in your fierce anger.
E ninini iho no oe i kou inaina maluna o lakou; A e loohia lakou i kou huhu wela.
25 Let the places where they live be deserted. Let their homes be abandoned.
E neoneo no hoi ko lakou hale; Aohe mea e noho iloko o ko lakou mau halelewa.
26 For they persecute those you have punished, and make it even more painful for those you have disciplined.
No ka mea, ua alualu hewa lakou i ka mea au i hahau ai; A kamailio lakou he mea kaumaha no na mea au e hoeha mai.
27 Punish them for the evil they have done. Don't acquit them.
E hookui i ka hewa maluna o ko lakou hewa: Aole hoi lakou e komo iloko o kou hoaponoia.
28 Blot out their names from the Book of Life. Don't let them be listed with those who do right.
E hoonaloia lakou mailoko aku o ka buke a ka poe ola, Aole lakou e kakau pu ia me ka poe pono.
29 But I am suffering and in physical pain. God, please save me and keep me safe.
Aka, ua ilihune au a ua kaumaha no hoi; E hookiekie kou ola ia'u, e ke Akua.
30 I will praise God's character in song; I will say how incredible he is and how thankful I am.
E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o ke Akua, ma ka himeni; A e hoonui aku ia ia me ka hoomaikai ana.
31 The Lord is happier with this than with offering animals as sacrifices: cattle, or bulls with horns and hooves.
Ua oi aku ka pono o keia ia Iehova mamua o ka bipi kane, A o ka bipi opiopio mea pepeiaohao me na maiuu.
32 The humble will see this and be happy. May God encourage everyone who comes to him.
E ike hoi ka poe hoohaahaa, a e hauoli hoi: E imi ana i ke Akua, e ola ko oukou naau.
33 God hears the poor, and he does not ignore his people who are in prison.
No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai o Iehova i ka poe ilihune; Aole hoi ia i hoowahawaha i kona poe i hoopaaia.
34 Praise him heaven and earth, the seas and everything that lives in them!
E hoomaikai ka lani a me ka honua ia ia; O na kai, a me na mea a pau e holo ana maloko olaila.
35 For God will save Zion, and rebuild the cities of Judah. They will live there and own the land.
No ka mea, e hoola no ke Akua ia Ziona, A e kukulu hoi i na kulanakauhale o Iuda; I noho lakou ilaila, a e lilo ia no lakou.
36 The descendants of those who follow him will inherit the land, and those who love him will live there.
E loaa mai no hoi ia i na hua a kana mau kauwa: A malaila e noho ai ka poe makemake i kona inoa.
