Psalms 79

1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, They have defiled Your holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,

E KE Akua e, ua komo mai ko na aina e iloko o kou hooilina; Ua hoohaumia lakou i kou luakini hoano; A ua hoolilo no hoi ia Ierusalema, i ahu opala.

2 They gave the dead bodies of Your servants [As] food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints For the wild beast of the earth.

Ua haawi lakou i na kupapau o kau poe kauwa, I ai na na manu o ka lewa; A me ke kino no hoi o kou poe haipule, Na na holoholona o ka honua.

3 They have shed their blood As water around Jerusalem, And there is none burying.

Ua hookahe lakou i ko lakou nei koko me he wai la, A puni o Ierusalema; aohe mea nana e kanu iho.

4 We have been a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.

Ua lilo makou i mea hoowahawahaia e ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, He mea hoaikola, a akaaka hoi i ka poe e noho mai la a puni makou.

5 Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire.

Pehea la ka loihi, e Iehova? E huhu mau loa mai anei oe? E a anei kou lili me he ahi la?

6 Pour Your fury on the nations who have not known You, And on kingdoms that have not called on Your Name.

E ninini mai oe i kou huhu maluna o ko na aina e, Ka poe i ike ole ia oe, Maluna hoi o na aupuni i kahea ole aku i kou inoa.

7 For [one] has devoured Jacob, And they have made his habitation desolate.

No ka mea, ua hoopau lakou ia Iakoba, A ua hooneoneo hoi i kona wahi i noho ai.

8 Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.

Mai hoomanao mai oe i na hala o ka makou poe kupuna, I mea e hewa'i makou: E hoowikiwiki mai oe i kou lokomaikai, No ka mea, ua pilikia loa makou.

9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the glory of Your Name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake.

E kokua mai oe ia makou, e ke Akua o ko makou ola, I mea e hoonaniia'i kou inoa: E hoopakele mai oe ia makou, E kala mai hoi i ko makou hewa, no kou inoa iho.

10 Why do the nations say, “Where [is] their God?” Let [it] be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Your servants that is shed.

No ke aha la e olelo mai ai ko na aina e, Auhea la ko lakou Akua? Ina e ikeia oia e ko na aina e imua o ko makou mau maka, E hoopai ana i ke koko o kau poe kauwa i hookaheia.

11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before You, According to the greatness of Your arm, Leave the sons of death.

Ina e hiki aku imua ou ke kaniuhu ana o ke pio; E like me ka nui o kou mana, e hoopakele mai oe i na keiki o ka make.

12 And return to our neighbors, Sevenfold to their bosom, their reproach, With which they reproached You, O Lord.

Maluna o ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, E hoihoi pahiku oe iloko o ko lakou umauma, I ka hoino a lakou i hoino aku ai ia oe, e ka Haku e.

13 And we, Your people, and the flock of Your pasture, We give thanks to You for all time, We recount Your praise from generation to generation!

Alaila, o makou, na kanaka ou, a me na hipa au i hanai ai, E mililaui mau aku no makou ia oe; A e hookani makou i kou nani i na hanauna a pau.
