Halelu 37
1 MAI ukiuki oe no ka poe hana hewa; Aole hoi e huahua i na mea lawehala.
“Of David.” Do not fret thyself because of the evil-doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 No ka mea, e oki koke ia lakou e like me ka mauu, A e mae hoi e like me ka laauikiai maka.
For like the grass they shall soon be mowed down, and like the green herb shall they wither.
3 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.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed [thyself] with truthfulness.
4 E hauoli hoi oe ia Iehova, A e haawi mai no ia nou i ka makemake o kou naau:
And delight thyself in the Lord, and he will give thee the wishes of thy heart.
5 Hookaa aku i kou aoao ia Iehova; E hilinai aku hoi ia ia. a nana no hoi e hana.
Commit thy way unto the Lord, and trust in him: and he will accomplish it.
6 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.
And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, and the justice of thy [cause] as the noonday.
7 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.
Be silent before the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who practices wicked devices.
8 E waiho i ka huhu, e haalele hoi i ka inaina; Mai nauki iki e hana hewa ai.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 No ka mea, e okiia'ku ka poe hana hewa; Aka, o ka poe manaolana ia Iehova, e loaa ia lakou ka honua.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, these—shall truly inherit the land.
10 A liuliu iki aku, aole ka mea lawehala; Oiaio, e hoomanao ikaika oe i kona wahi, aole hoi ia.
For yet but for a little while, and the wicked shall be no more: yea, thou wilt look carefully at his place, and he shall not be there.
11 Aka, e loaa ka honua i ka poe hoohaahaa; He hauoli lakou i ka pomaikai nui wale.
But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves because of the abundance of peace.
12 Kukakuka ku e ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A nau iho la me kona mau niho ia ia.
The wicked purposeth evil against the just, and gnasheth against him with his teeth.
13 E akaaka mai no nae ka Haku ia ia; No ka mea, ua ike oia i ke kokoke ana mai o kona la.
The Lord will laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 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.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall, and to slaughter such as are of an upright course [of life].
15 E komo no ko lakou pahikaua i ko lakou naau iho; A e uhakiia ka lakou kakaka.
[But] their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Ua oi aku ka waiwai uuku o ke kanaka pono Mamna o ka waiwai nui o ka poe hewa he nui.
Better is the little that the righteous hath, than the great riches of many wicked.
17 No ka mea, e uhakiia na lima o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa iho o Iehova i ka poe pono.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the upholder of the righteous is the Lord.
18 Ua ike o Iehova i na la o ka poe ku pono; A e mau loa ana no hoi ko lakou hooilina.
The Lord regardeth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall endure for ever.
19 Aole lakou e hoka i ka manawa ino; A i ke kau wi e maona no lakou.
They shall not be made ashamed in the time of unhappiness; and in the days of famine shall they be satisfied.
20 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.
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the beauty of the meadow: they pass away; in smoke they pass away.
21 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.
The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; but the righteous is beneficent, and giveth.
22 Nolaila o ka poe hoomaikaiia e ia e loaa ia lakou ka honua; Aka, o ka poe i hoinoia e ia e okiia lakou.
For those blessed of him shall inherit the land; and those cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 Ua hooku pono ia e Iehova na kapuwai o ke kanaka pono; Oluolu mai no oia i kona hele ana.
By the Lord are the steps of the righteous man established; and he findeth pleasure in his course [of life].
24 Ina e hina ia aole ia e hoohiolo loa ia: No ka mea, ua hookupaa o Iehova ia ia me kona lima.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth his hand.
25 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.
I have been young, and I am also grown old: yet have I never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking for bread.
26 He aloha mau kona, a ua haawi aka no; Pomaikai no hoi kana hua.
He is all the time beneficent, and lendeth: and his seed will be for a blessing.
27 E haalele i ka hewa, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho mau loa aku.
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 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.
For the Lord loveth justice, and never forsaketh his pious servants: they are for ever preserved; but the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
29 E loaa ka aina i ka poe pono, A e noho mau lakou ilaila.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell for ever therein.
30 Ua olelo ka waha o ka mea pono ma ka naauao; A ua kamailio kona alelo ma ka hoopono ana.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh what is just.
31 Maloko o kona naau ke kanawai o kona Akua; Aole kapuwai ona e kapeke ai.
The law of his God is in his heart: none of his steps shall slip.
32 Kiai ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A imi hoi ia e hoomake ia ia.
The wicked looketh out for the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 Aole e waiho mai o Iehova ia ia iloko o kona lima, Aole hoi e hoahewa ia ia i kona wa e hookolokoloia'i.
The Lord will not leave him in his hand, and will not condemn him when he is judged.
34 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.
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, shalt thou look on.
35 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.
I have seen the wicked terrible in power, and striking root like a green tree in its native soil.
36 Aka, ua hala aku la ia aia hoi, aole iho la ia; Oiaio, imi aku la au ia ia, aole hoi ia i loaa.
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was no more: and I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 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.
Observe the perfect man, and behold the upright; for there is a [happy] future for the man of peace.
38 Aka, e luku pu ia ka poe lawehala; A o ka hope o ka poe hewa, e okiia no ia.
But the transgressors are destroyed together: the future of the wicked is cut off.
39 Aka, no Iehova mai ke ola o ka poe pono: Oia ko lakou ikaika i ka wa popilikia.
And the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord: he is their strong-hold in the time of distress.
40 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.
And the Lord helpeth them, and delivereth them; he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; because they have put their trust in him.
