Psalms 69
1 For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are threatening my life.
E HOOLA mai ia'u, e ke Akua; No ka mea, ua komo mai na wai i ko'u uhane.
2 I am sunk in depths of mire, where ground there is none. I am come into deep deep waters, the flood overwhelms 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 am weary of crying, my throat is parched, my eyes are wasted with waiting for God.
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 More than the hairs of my head are those who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?
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 O God, you know my folly, my guilt is 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 Through me let not any be shamed, who wait for you, Lord God of hosts. Through me let not those be confounded who seek you, O 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 It’s in your cause that I have borne taunts, and my face has been covered with shame;
No ka mea, nou la i halihali ai au i ka hoinoia; Ua uhi mai ka hilahila i ko'u maka.
8 I became to my kindred a foreigner, to my mother’s sons a stranger.
Ua lilo au i malihini i ko'u mau hoahanau, He kanaka e hoi i na keiki a ko'u makuwahine.
9 It was zeal for your house that consumed me, and the insults they hurled at you fell upon 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 When I chastened myself with fasting, they took occasion to taunt me.
A uwe au, a hahau hoi i kuu uhane me ka hookeai ana, Oia ka'u mea i hoinoia mai ai.
11 When I put on a garment of sackcloth, they made me the theme of a taunt-song.
A aahu iho la au i ke kapa ino; Lilo au i mea hoohiki wale ia.
12 Those who sit in the gate make sport of me in the music of drunken songs.
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 I pray to you, Lord, for a time of favour. In your great love answer me; with your loyal help, save me
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 from sinking down in the mire. Lift me out of the deep 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 that the rushing flood may not drown me, that the deep may not swallow me up, nor the pit close her mouth upon 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 Answer me, Lord, in your gracious kindness, turn to me in your great compassion.
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 Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; O answer me speedily.
Mai hoonalo i kou maka i kau kauwa; No ka mea, ua pilikia au: E hoolohe koke mai oe ia'u.
18 Draw near to me, redeem me; because of my enemies, ransom me.
E hookokoke mai i kuu uhane, a e hoola mai ia ia: E hoopakele ia'u no ko'u poe enemi.
19 You know how I am insulted; in your sight are all my foes.
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 Insult has broken my heart, past cure are my shame and confusion. For pity I looked – there was none! And for comforters, but I found none.
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 Poison they gave me for food, and to slake my thirst they gave vinegar.
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 their table, outspread, be a trap to them, and their peace-offerings be a snare.
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 be darkened and blind, make them shake without ceasing.
E hoopouliia ko lakou mau maka i ike ole lakou; A e hoohaalulu mau no hoi oe i ko lakou mau puhaka.
24 Pour your indignation upon them, let your burning wrath overtake them.
E ninini iho no oe i kou inaina maluna o lakou; A e loohia lakou i kou huhu wela.
25 May their camp be a desolation, in their tents be there none to live.
E neoneo no hoi ko lakou hale; Aohe mea e noho iloko o ko lakou mau halelewa.
26 For those whom you struck, they persecute, and those whom you wounded, they pain yet more.
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 Charge them with sin upon sin, may they not be acquitted by you.
E hookui i ka hewa maluna o ko lakou hewa: Aole hoi lakou e komo iloko o kou hoaponoia.
28 From the book of life be they blotted, may their names not be written with the righteous.
E hoonaloia lakou mailoko aku o ka buke a ka poe ola, Aole lakou e kakau pu ia me ka poe pono.
29 Lift me, O God, by your help above my pain and misery.
Aka, ua ilihune au a ua kaumaha no hoi; E hookiekie kou ola ia'u, e ke Akua.
30 Then will I praise God in song and magnify him with thanksgiving,
E hoolea aku au i ka inoa o ke Akua, ma ka himeni; A e hoonui aku ia ia me ka hoomaikai ana.
31 which shall please the Lord better than ox, or than bullock with horns and hoofs.
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 oppressed shall rejoice at the sight. You who seek after God, let your heart revive.
E ike hoi ka poe hoohaahaa, a e hauoli hoi: E imi ana i ke Akua, e ola ko oukou naau.
33 For the Lord listens to the poor, he does not despise his prisoners.
No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai o Iehova i ka poe ilihune; Aole hoi ia i hoowahawaha i kona poe i hoopaaia.
34 Let the heavens and the earth sing his praises, the seas, and all creatures that move 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 bring help to Zion, and build up the cities of Judah, his people shall live there in possession.
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 His servants’ children shall have it for heritage, and those who love him shall live therein.
E loaa mai no hoi ia i na hua a kana mau kauwa: A malaila e noho ai ka poe makemake i kona inoa.
