Halelu 52
1 NO ke aha la e hoonui ai oe ma ka hewa, e ke kanaka ikaika? E mau loa ana no ka lokomaikai o ke Akua.
To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.
2 Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Makemake no oe i ka ino, aole i ka maikai; A i ka hoopunipuni ana hoi, aole i ka olelo i ka pono. (Sila)
Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
4 Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.
Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
5 E hoohiolo mai no hoi ke Akua ia oe a mau loa, E kiola aku oia ia oe, a kaili aku mai loko aku o kou wahi i noho ai, A e uhuki ae hoi oia ia oe mailoko ae o ka aina o ka poe ola. (Sila)
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 Aia hoi, oia ke kanaka i lawe ole i ke Akua i ikaika nona; Aka, ua hilinai i ka nui o kona waiwai iho, A ua hooikaika ia ia iho iloko o kona hewa.
Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 Aka, he mea like au me ka laauoliva uliuli iloko a ka hale o ke Akua; E hilinai mau aku wau i ke aloha o ke Akua a mau loa aku.
But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9 E hoolea mau loa aku au ia oe, No ka mea, nau no ia i hana; E hilinai hoi au i kou inoa; No ka mea, he pono ia imua o kou poe haipule.
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
