Halelu 109
1 E KE Akua a'u i halelu ai, mai hookuli mai oe;
For the end, a Psalm of David. For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;
2 No ka mea, o ka waha o ka mea hewa, A me ka waha wahahee, ua hamama mai laua e ku e ia'u; Ua olelo ku e mai lakou ia'u, me ke elelo wahahee.
for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.
3 Hoopuni mai lakou ia'u i na olelo huhu; A hakaka mai lakou ia'u me ka hala ole o'u.
And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 No ko'u aloha enemi mai lakou ia'u; E pule aku no nae au.
Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.
5 Hookau mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o'u no ka maikai, A me ka inaina no ko'u aloha.
And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 E hoonoho oe i ka mea hewa maluna ona; A e hooku mai ia Satana ma kona lima akau.
Set you a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand.
7 Ia ia e hookolokoloia'i, E puka mai no kona hewa, A e lilo no kana pule i mea e hewa'i.
When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 E uuku no kona mau la, E lawe hoi kekahi i kana oihana.
Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer.
9 E makua ole auanei kana poe keiki, A e lilo auanei kana wahine i wahinekanemake.
Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.
10 E kuewa, e kuewa wale aku no kana poe keiki, a e nonoi wale; E imi wale lakou ma ko lakou wahi neoneo.
Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.
11 Na ka makee waiwai e kaili wale i kana mau mea a pau, A na na malihini e hao wale i kona waiwai.
Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labors.
12 Aohe mea nana e hoomau i ka lokomaikai ia ia; Aohe hoi mea aloha i kana mau huahaule.
Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.
13 E hookiia kana poe mamo; A ia hanauna aku e holoiia ko lakou inoa.
Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.
14 E hoomanaoia ka hewa o kona poe kupuna imua o Iehova; Aole hoi e kalaia na hewa o kona makuwahine.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 E mau loa ana no lakou imua o Iehova; I hookiia ka manao ana ia lakou mai ka honua aku.
Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.
16 No ka mea, aole ia i hoomanao e hana i ka lokomaikai, A hoomaau oia i ke kanaka nele, a ilihune hoi, I pepehi oia i ka mea naau ehaeha.
Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and [that] to kill him that was pricked in the heart.
17 Me ia i makemake ai i ka hailiili, pela no e hiki mai ai ia maluna ona; Me ia i makemake ole ai i ka hoomaikai, e mamao loa ia mai ona aku.
He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.
18 Kahiko no oia ia ia iho i ka hailiili me he kapa la, E komo no hoi ia iloko o kona opu me he wai la, A e like hoi me ka aila iloko o kona mau iwi.
Yes, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.
19 A e like no auanei ia me he kapa la ia ia, A me ke kaei hoi ana e kaei mau ai.
Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.
20 O keia no ka uku o ko'u poe enemi mai o Iehova mai, A me ko ka poe hoi e olelo ino mai i ko'u uhane.
This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 Aka, e hana mai oe mamuli o'u, e Iehova ka Haku, no kou inoa iho: No ka mea, ua maikai kou lokomaikai, e hoopakele mai ia'u.
But you, O Lord, Lord, deal [mercifully] with me, for your name's sake: for your mercy is good.
22 No ka mea, ua nele, a ua ilihune hoi au, A ua houia ko'u naau iloko ou.
Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my heart is troubled within me.
23 Ua hele aku au e like me ke aka i kona auwi ana, Ua kuehuehuia au me he uhini la.
I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.
24 Kulanalana ko'u mau kuli no ka hookeai, A hookii no hoi ko'u kino ma ke kelekele.
My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of [the lack of] oil.
25 Ua lilo wau i mea hoomaewaewa no lakou; Nana mai lakou ia'u, a kunokunou i ko lakou poo.
I became also a reproach to them: [when] they saw me they shook their heads.
26 E kokua mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, ko'u Akua; E hoola mai oe ia'u e like me kou lokomaikai ana.
Help me, O Lord my God; and save me according to your mercy.
27 I ike mai hoi lakou, o kou lima keia; O oe hoi e Iehova, ka mea nana i hana ia mea.
And let them know that this is your hand; and [that] you, Lord, have wrought it.
28 Na lakou e hailiili mai, aka, e hoomaikai mai oe, A ku mai lakou iluna, e hoohilahilaia lakou; Aka, e hoohauoli mai oe i kau kauwa.
Let them curse, but you shall bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let your servant rejoice.
29 E kahikoia ko'u poe enemi i ka hoopalaimaka, A e uhi no lakou ia lakou iho i ka hilahila me he holoku la.
Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
30 E mililani nui aka au ia Iehova, ma ko'u waha; A e halelu aku ia ia mawaena o ka lehulehu.
I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise him.
31 No ka mea, e ku mai auanei oia ma ka lima akau o ka mea hune, E hoopakele i kona uhane mai ka poe hoohewa ia ia.
For he stood on the right hand of the poor, to save [me] from them that persecute my soul.
