Halelu 74
1 E KE Akua, o ke aha kau mea e mamao mau loa aku ai? No ke aha la e wela mai ai kou huhu i na hipa o kou aina?
Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 E hoomanao oe i kou ekalesia au i kuai kahiko loa ai, Ka ohana o kou hooilina au i kuai ai; O keia mauna Ziona kahi i noho ai oe.
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt.
3 E hoeu i kou wawae i ka neoneo mau ana; I na mea a pau a ka enemi i hana hewa ai iloko e kou wahi hoano.
Lift up thy feet to the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Ua uwo kou poe enemi iloko o na anaina; Ua kau lakou i ko lakou mau hae i hoailona.
Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their banners for signs.
5 Kaulana aku la ke kanaka, E like me kona hapai ana i na koi i na laau paapu.
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 Aka ano, ke wawahi nei lakou i kona mea i kalaiia, Me na koi a me na hamare.
But now they break down its carved work at once with axes and hammers.
7 Ua hoolei lakou i ke ahi iloko o kou wahi hoano, Ua hoohaumia lakou ilalo i ka lepo i ka halelewa o kou inoa.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 I iho la lakou ma ko lakou naau, E luku pu kakou ia lakou; Ua hoopau i ke ahi i na halehalawai a pau o ke Akua ma ka aina.
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 Aole kakou i ike i ko kakou mau hoailona; Aole he kaula hou ae; Aohe mea iwaena o kakou i ike i ka loihi ana.
We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 E ke Akua, pehea ka loihi o ko ka enemi hoino ana mai? E hoino wale anei ka enemi i kou inoa i ka manawa pau ole?
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 No ke aha la oe i hoihoi aku ai i kou lima, i kou lima akau? E unuhi ae ia mai loko ae o kou poli.
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
12 No ka mea, o ke Akua ko'u Alii mai kinohi mai, E hana ana ma ke ola iwaena o ka honua.
For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kai me kou ikaika: Wawahi iho la oe i na poo o na kerokodila ma na wai.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Ulupa iho la oe i na poo o ka leviatana, A haawi ia ia i ai na na kanaka o ka waonahele.
Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, and didst give him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kumuwai me ka muliwai: Hoomaloo iho la oe i na waikahe ikaika.
Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou didst dry up mighty rivers.
16 Nou no ke ao, nou no hoi ka po: Ua hoomakaukau oe i ka malamalama a me ka la.
The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Ua hoonohonoho oe i na palena a pau o ka honua; Ua hana hoi oe i ka hoilo a me ka makalii.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 E hoomanao oe i keia, ua hoino wale ka enemi, e Iehova, A ua kuamuamu wale na kanaka naaupo i kou inoa.
Remember this, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19 Mai noho a haawi i ka uhane o kau manu nunu i ka poe ino: Mai hoopoina mau loa i ke anaina o kou poe ilihune.
O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove to the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20 E manao mai oe i ka berita; No ka mea, ua paapu na wahi pouli o ka honua i na wahi e noho ai ka lalauwale.
Have respect to the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 Mai noho a hoi hou ka poe i hooluhihewaia me ka hilahila; Aka, e hoolea aku i kou inoa ka poe ilihune a me ka haahaa.
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22 E ku iluna, e ko Akua, e hakaka i ko'u hakaka: E hoomanao i ko ke kanaka naaupo hoino wale ana ia oe i na la a pau.
Arise, O God, plead thy own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
23 Mai hoopoina i ka leo o kou poe enemi: Ke mahuahua mai nei ka haunaele ana o ka poe ku e ia oe.
Forget not the voice of thy enemies: the tumult of those that rise against thee increaseth continually.
