Psalms 79
1 A psalm of Asaph. Heathen, O God, have come into your land, defiling your holy temple, and laying Jerusalem in ruins.
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 have given the bodies of your dead servants to the birds of the air to devour, and the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the field.
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 Round about Jerusalem they have poured out their blood like water; and there was no one to bury them.
Ua hookahe lakou i ko lakou nei koko me he wai la, A puni o Ierusalema; aohe mea nana e kanu iho.
4 On every side our neighbors revile us and mock us and jeer at us.
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 How long will you be angry, O Lord? Will your jealousy burn like fire forever?
Pehea la ka loihi, e Iehova? E huhu mau loa mai anei oe? E a anei kou lili me he ahi la?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that do not call 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 Jacob they devoured, they have desolated his home.
No ka mea, ua hoopau lakou ia Iakoba, A ua hooneoneo hoi i kona wahi i noho ai.
8 Do not remember against us our ancestors’ sins; O meet us soon with your pity, for utterly weak are we.
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 our savior, for the renown of your name: for your reputation deliver us and cover over our sins.
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 should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let revenge for the outpoured blood of your servants be shown on the heathen before our eyes.
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 May the groans of the prisoner come before you; free the children of death by your mighty arm.
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 Pay our neighbors back sevenfold for the scorn they have heaped upon 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 Then we, your people, the flock of your pasture, will give thanks to you for evermore, and tell your praise to all generations.
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.
