Halelu 14

1 I IHO la ka aia iloko o kona naau, Aohe Akua. Ua pau lakou i ka hewa; Ua hana lakou i na hana ino; Aohe mea nana e hana maikai.

“To the chief musician, by David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they are abominable [in their] doings, there is none that doth good.

2 Ua nana mai la o Iehova mai ka lani mai i na keiki a kanaka, I ike mai i kekahi mea naauao paha i imi i ke Akua.

The Lord looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.

3 Ua pau lakou i ke kapae. Ua pau pu lakou i ka paumaele; Aohe mea nana i hana pono, aole akahi.

They are all gone aside, they are altogether become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not even one.

4 Aole anei i ike iki ka poe hana hewa a pau? Ka poe i pau ai ko'u poe kanaka i ka aiia, E like me ko lakou ai ana i ka berena, Aole nae i kahea i ka inoa o Iehova.

Is there no knowledge in all the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread; [while] they do not call on the Lord.

5 Makau iho la lakou me ka weliweli; No ka mea, ina no ke Akua mawaena o ka hanauna pono.

There are they terrified in terror; for God is with the righteous generation:

6 Ua hoohilahila oukou i ka manao o ka mea ilihune; No ka mea, o Iehova kona puuhonua.

The counsel of the poor [though] you put to shame; because the Lord is his protection.

7 Nawai ke ola e haawi mai no ka Iseraela mailoko mai o Ziona? Aia hoihoi mai o Iehova i ke pio ana o kona poe kanaka, E hauoli no o Iakoba, e olioli no hoi o Iseraela.

Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, then will Jacob be glad, and Israel will rejoice.
