Halelu 140
1 E HOOPAKELE mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i ke kanaka hewa; E malama mai hoi ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe:
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2 Ka poe i imi hewa ma ka naau; Akoakoa no lakou i na la a pau, e kaua.
Who imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they assembled [for] war.
3 Hookala no lakou i ko lakou alelo me he nahesa la; A aia malalo o ko lakou mau lehelehe ka mea make o ka moonihoawa. (Sila)
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adder's poison [is] under their lips. (Selah)
4 E malama mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i na lima o ka poe hewa. E kiai mai ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe; No ka mea, manao mai oia e hoohiolo i kuu mau kapuwai.
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 Na ka poe hookiekie i hana i ka mea hei a me na kaula no'u; A ua uhola lakou i ka upena ma kapa alanui; Ua kau lakou i pahele no'u. (Sila)
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. (Selah)
6 Olelo aku la au ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Akua; E hoolohe mai oe, e Iehova, i ka leo o ko'u nonoi ana.
I said to the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 E Iehova, ka Haku ikaika o ko'u ola, Ua uhi mai no oe i ko'u poo i ka la o ke kaua.
O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Mai haawi mai oe, e Iehova, i na mea a ka poe hewa i makemake ai; Mai kokua mai oe mamuli o kona manao; Ua hookiekie no lakou. (Sila)
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. (Selah)
9 O ke poo o ka poe hoopani mai ia'u, E uhiia lakou i ka luhi o ko lakou mau lehelehe.
[As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 E haule mai na lanahu maluna o lakou; E kiolaia lakou iloko o ke ahi, Iloko hoi o na lua hohonu, I olo ai lakou e ku hou mai iluna.
Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not again.
11 Aole e onipaa ma ka honua ke kanaka olelo wahahee; A e hahai koke no ka hewa i ke kanaka kolohe.
Let not an evil speaker be established on the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him].
12 Ua ike no wau, e kokua mau no o Iehova i ka poe pilikia, A e hoapono hoi i ka poe ilihune.
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.
13 Oiaio e mililani aku no ka poe pono i kou inoa; E noho no hoi ka poe hoopololei ma kou alo.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
