Psalms 41

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

POMAIKAI ke kanaka i manao i ka popilikia: E hoakea mai o Iehova ia ia i ka wa ino.

2 Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

E hoomalu mai o Iehova a e hoomau i kona ola; A e hoopomaikaiia no ia maluna o ka honua; Aole hoi oe e haawi ia ia i ka makemake o kona poe enemi.

3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

E hooikaika mai no hoi o Iehova ia ia maluna o kahi moe e nawaliwali ai: E pau no hoi ia oe kona moena i ka koomakaukauia i kona mai ana.

4 I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

I aku la au, E Iehova, e aloha mai ia'u; E hoola i kuu uhane, no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku au ia oe.

5 My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

Ke olelo hewa nei ko'u poe enemi no'u; Ahea la e make ia, a e lilo kona inoa?

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

Ina i hele mai ia e ike mai, Ua olelo no ia ma ka lapuwale; Houluulu hoi kona naau i ka hewa nona iho; A puka ia iwaho, hai aku la no ia.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

Hawanawana ku e pu mai ia'u na mea a pau i inaina mai ia'u; Kukakuka ku e mai lakou i ka hewa no'u.

8 “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

He mea ino ka i pili loa ia ia: A ke moe ia ia, aole e ala hou ae.

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

Oiaio, o ko'u hoaaloha a'u i hilinai aku ai, Ka mea i ai i ka'u berena, Oia ka i hapai ku e i kona kuekue wawae ia'u.

10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

Aka, e aloha mai oe, e Iehova, ia'u; E hooku hou ia'u iluna e uku aku au ia lakou.

11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

Ma keia mea i ike ai au i kou lokomaikai ana mai ia'u: No ka mea, aole i hooho olioli ko'u enemi maluna o'u.

12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

A owau nei la, ke hooku paa nei oe ia'u i ko'u pono, Ke hoonoho mau ia'u imua o ko'u alo.

13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.

E hoomaikai mau ia'ku o Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela, Mai ke ao kumu ole, a i ke ao pau ole. Amene, Amene.
