Psalms 74
1 A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
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?
2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
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.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
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.
4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
Ua uwo kou poe enemi iloko o na anaina; Ua kau lakou i ko lakou mau hae i hoailona.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
Kaulana aku la ke kanaka, E like me kona hapai ana i na koi i na laau paapu.
6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
Aka ano, ke wawahi nei lakou i kona mea i kalaiia, Me na koi a me na hamare.
7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
Ua hoolei lakou i ke ahi iloko o kou wahi hoano, Ua hoohaumia lakou ilalo i ka lepo i ka halelewa o kou inoa.
8 They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
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.
9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
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.
10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
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?
11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
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.
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
No ka mea, o ke Akua ko'u Alii mai kinohi mai, E hana ana ma ke ola iwaena o ka honua.
13 You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kai me kou ikaika: Wawahi iho la oe i na poo o na kerokodila ma na wai.
14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
Ulupa iho la oe i na poo o ka leviatana, A haawi ia ia i ai na na kanaka o ka waonahele.
15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kumuwai me ka muliwai: Hoomaloo iho la oe i na waikahe ikaika.
16 The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
Nou no ke ao, nou no hoi ka po: Ua hoomakaukau oe i ka malamalama a me ka la.
17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
Ua hoonohonoho oe i na palena a pau o ka honua; Ua hana hoi oe i ka hoilo a me ka makalii.
18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
E hoomanao oe i keia, ua hoino wale ka enemi, e Iehova, A ua kuamuamu wale na kanaka naaupo i kou inoa.
19 Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.
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.
20 Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
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.
21 Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
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.
22 Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
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.
23 Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
Mai hoopoina i ka leo o kou poe enemi: Ke mahuahua mai nei ka haunaele ana o ka poe ku e ia oe.
