Halelu 56
1 E ALOHA mai ia'u, e ke Akua; No ka mea, e ale mai paha na kanaka ia'u; E paio aua i kela la i keia la, ua hooluhihewa mai oia ia'u.
For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
2 E ake ko'u mau enemi e ale ia'u i kela la i keia la; No ka mea, he nui no ka poe e kaua ana ia'u, e ka Mea kiekie loa.
Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
3 I ko'u manawa e makau ai, E hilinai aku au ia oe.
They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.
4 Iloko o ke Akua e mahalo au i kana olelo; O ke Akua ka'u i hilinai aku ai, aole au e makau; Heaha ka ka io o hana mai ai ia'u?
In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
5 I kela la i keia la, ua hookahuli lakou i ka'u mau olelo; Pau ko lakou mau manao i ke ku e ia'u no ka hewa.
All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
6 Ua akoakoa lakou, ua pee iho la hoi, Ua nana mai lakou i ko u mau kapuwai, I ko lakou kakali ana i ko'u uhane.
They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
7 He pakele anei ko lakou ma ka hewa? I ka huhu, e kiola iho ai i na kanaka, e ke Akua,
You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.
8 Ua helu oe i ko'u auwana ana: E ukuki oe i ko'u waimaka i kou omole: Aole anei ia iloko o kau buke?
O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.
9 Aia kahea aku au, alaila e hoi ihope ko'u enemi: Ua ike au ia mea, no ka mea, mamuli o'u ke Akua.
Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.
10 Iloko o ke Akua e mahalo mau au i ka olelo: Iloko o Iehova e hoomaikai au i ka olelo:
In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
11 Maluna o ke Akua i hilinai aku ai au, aole e makau; Heaha ka ke kanaka e hana mai ai ia'u?
I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
12 Maluna o'u ka berita ana nou, e ke Akua: E haawi aku au i ka hoolea ia oe.
The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
13 No ka mea, ua hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka make: Aole anei e hoopakele i ko'u mau kapuwai i ka hina ana? I hele au imua o ke Akua ma ka malamalama o ka poe ola.
For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
