< Halelu 10 >

1 NO ke aha la oe e ku ai i kahi loihi aku, e Iehova? A e huna ai ia oe iho i ka manawa popilikia?
Why stand you far off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?
2 O ka mea hewa, i kona hookano, Ua hoomaau mai oia i ka mea ilihune: E puni lakou i ka manao a lakou i noonoo ai.
The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 No ka mea, ua hookelakela ka mea hewa i ka makemake o kona naau, A i ke ko ana, ua hoomaikai, a ua hoowahawaha aku ia Iehova.
For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD detests.
4 O ka mea hewa, aole ia e pule, no ka haaheo o kona maka; Aole ke Akua i kona manao a pau.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 Ua hewa mau kona mau aoao; O kau mau oihana, maluna lilo no ia aole ikea ia ia; A o kona mau enemi, ua puhi aku oia ia lakou.
His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
6 Ua olelo oia iloko o kona naau, Aole loa au e hoonaueia; Aole au e popilikia ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 Ua piha kona waha i ke amuamu, ka wahahee, a me ka hoopunipuni; Malalo ae o kona alelo ke kolohe a me ka mea lapuwale.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 Ua noho ia ma kahi hoomakaakiu o na kauhale; A i kahi nalowale i pepehi wale ai ia i ka mea hala ole; Ua haka malu aku kona mau maka i ka mea ilihune.
He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.
9 Kali malu iho la ia me he liona la iloko o kona lua: Moemoe malu ia e hopu i ka mea ilihune: Ua hoohei no oia ia ia i kona alakai ana ia ia iloko o kana upena.
He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10 Ua kolo iho la ia, ua hoohaahaa ia ia iho, I haule iho ka poe ilihune i kona mea ikaika.
He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 Ua olelo iho la ia iloko o kona naau, Ua hoopoina ke Akua; Ua huna oia i kona maka, aole loa ia e ike mai.
He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
12 E ku mai oe, e Iehova; E hapai oe i kou lima, e ke Akua; Mai hoopoina mai i ka poe haahaa.
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
13 No ke aha la ka mea ino i hoowahawaha ai i ke Akua? Ua olelo no oia iloko o kona naau, Aole oe e hoopai mai.
Wherefore does the wicked contemn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
14 Ua ike mai no oe, ua nana mai i ke kolohe a me ka huhu, I hoopai mai ia mea me kou lima; O ka mea ilihune ua waiho aku oia ia ia iho ia oe; O oe no ka mea nana ka mea makua ole i kokua mai.
You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 E uhai oe i ka lima o ke kanaka hewa ke kolohe; E hoopai i kona hewa a pau ia i ka nalo ia oe.
Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
16 O Iehova, oia ke Alii mau loa: Ua make aku ko na aina e mailoko aku o kona aina.
The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 E Iehova, ua lohe oe i ka makemake o ka poe haahaa: E hoomakaukau ana oe i ko lakou naau, E hoolohe mai ana no kou pepeiao;
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
18 E hoopono mai i ka mea makua ole a me ka mea i hooluhihewaia, I hooluhihewa hou ole mai ke kauaka o ka honua.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
