Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.
MAI ukiuki oe no ka poe hana hewa; Aole hoi e huahua i na mea lawehala.
2 For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.
No ka mea, e oki koke ia lakou e like me ka mauu, A e mae hoi e like me ka laauikiai maka.
3 Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it.
E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho no oe ma ka aina, a e hanai io ia'ku oe.
4 Delight [yourself] in the Lord; and he shall grant you the requests of your heart.
E hauoli hoi oe ia Iehova, A e haawi mai no ia nou i ka makemake o kou naau:
5 Disclose your way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Hookaa aku i kou aoao ia Iehova; E hilinai aku hoi ia ia. a nana no hoi e hana.
6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noon-day.
A e hoopuka mai hoi oia i kou pono e like me ka malamalama, A me kou hooponoponoia e like me ka la ku pono.
7 Submit yourself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not yourself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.
E noho malie ia Iehova, a e kali ahonui ia ia; Mai noho a ukiuki no ke kanaka e pookeokeo ana i kona aoao iho, No ke kanaka e hana ana ma na manao hewa.
8 ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself so as to do evil.
E waiho i ka huhu, e haalele hoi i ka inaina; Mai nauki iki e hana hewa ai.
9 For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
No ka mea, e okiia'ku ka poe hana hewa; Aka, o ka poe manaolana ia Iehova, e loaa ia lakou ka honua.
10 And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and you shall seek for his place, and shall not find [it].
A liuliu iki aku, aole ka mea lawehala; Oiaio, e hoomanao ikaika oe i kona wahi, aole hoi ia.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace.
Aka, e loaa ka honua i ka poe hoohaahaa; He hauoli lakou i ka pomaikai nui wale.
12 The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.
Kukakuka ku e ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A nau iho la me kona mau niho ia ia.
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.
E akaaka mai no nae ka Haku ia ia; No ka mea, ua ike oia i ke kokoke ana mai o kona la.
14 Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to kill the upright in heart.
Ua unuhi ae la ka poe hewa i ka pahikaua, Ua lena hoi i ka lakou kakaka, E hoolilo i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe haahaa, A e hoomake hoi i ka poe e hele pono ana.
15 Let their sword enter into their [own] heart, and their bows be broken.
E komo no ko lakou pahikaua i ko lakou naau iho; A e uhakiia ka lakou kakaka.
16 A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.
Ua oi aku ka waiwai uuku o ke kanaka pono Mamna o ka waiwai nui o ka poe hewa he nui.
17 For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous.
No ka mea, e uhakiia na lima o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa iho o Iehova i ka poe pono.
18 The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Ua ike o Iehova i na la o ka poe ku pono; A e mau loa ana no hoi ko lakou hooilina.
19 They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Aole lakou e hoka i ka manawa ino; A i ke kau wi e maona no lakou.
20 For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honored and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke.
Aka, e make no ka poe hewa, A e like auanei oa enemi o Iehova me'ka momona o na keikihipa; E pau lakou i ke ahi, e lilo lakou i uahi.
21 The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.
Ua noi e lawe iki ka mea hewa i ka hai. aole nae i hoihoi mai: Aka e lokomaikai aka ka mea pono, a haawi wale aku no.
22 For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.
Nolaila o ka poe hoomaikaiia e ia e loaa ia lakou ka honua; Aka, o ka poe i hoinoia e ia e okiia lakou.
23 The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.
Ua hooku pono ia e Iehova na kapuwai o ke kanaka pono; Oluolu mai no oia i kona hele ana.
24 When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.
Ina e hina ia aole ia e hoohiolo loa ia: No ka mea, ua hookupaa o Iehova ia ia me kona lima.
25 I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
Opiopio aku la au, a ua elemakule ae nei, Aole hoi au i ike i ka mea pono i haaleleia, Aole hoi i kana hua e makilo berena ana.
26 He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.
He aloha mau kona, a ua haawi aka no; Pomaikai no hoi kana hua.
27 Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.
E haalele i ka hewa, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho mau loa aku.
28 For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
No ka mea, ua makemake no Iehova i ka hoopono ana: Aole ia i haalele i kona poe haipule; E hoomalu mau loa ia hoi lakou; Aka, e okiia ka hua a ka poe hewa.
29 But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.
E loaa ka aina i ka poe pono, A e noho mau lakou ilaila.
30 The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.
Ua olelo ka waha o ka mea pono ma ka naauao; A ua kamailio kona alelo ma ka hoopono ana.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.
Maloko o kona naau ke kanawai o kona Akua; Aole kapuwai ona e kapeke ai.
32 The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.
Kiai ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A imi hoi ia e hoomake ia ia.
33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.
Aole e waiho mai o Iehova ia ia iloko o kona lima, Aole hoi e hoahewa ia ia i kona wa e hookolokoloia'i.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, you shall see [it].
E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e malama i kona aoao: A e hookiekie oia ia oe e komo i ka aina; Aia okiia ka poe hewa, e ike ako no oe ia.
35 I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Libanus.
Ua ike aku au i ke kanaka hewa e weliweli ai, E hoopalahalaha ana ia ia iho e like me ka laau uliuli i kona wahi iho.
36 Yet I passed by, and behold! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found.
Aka, ua hala aku la ia aia hoi, aole iho la ia; Oiaio, imi aku la au ia ia, aole hoi ia i loaa.
37 Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceful man.
E noonoo i ke kanaka hemolele, E nana hoi i ka mea kupono: No ka mea, o ka hope o ua kanaka la, he pomaikai no ia.
38 But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Aka, e luku pu ia ka poe lawehala; A o ka hope o ka poe hewa, e okiia no ia.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction.
Aka, no Iehova mai ke ola o ka poe pono: Oia ko lakou ikaika i ka wa popilikia.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
A e kokua mai o Iehova ia lakou, a e hoakea mai ia lakou, E hoopakele oia ia lakou i ka poe hewa, A e hoola ia lakou. no ko lakou hilinai ana ia ia.
