Halelu 42

1 E LIKE me ka dia e makemake ana i ka wai kahe, Pela e makemake nei ko'u uhane ia oe, e ke Akua.

BOOK SECOND: “To the chief musician, a Maskil, for the sons of Korach.” As a hart panteth after brooks of water, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 Ke makewai nei ko'u uhane i ke Akua, i ke Akua ola; Ahea la hiki aku au, a ikeia mai imua o ke Akua?

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I go [again] and be seen in the presence of God?

3 Ua lilo ko'u mau waimaka i ai na'u i ke ao a me ka po, Ia lakou i olelo mau mai ai ia'u, Auhea kou Akua?

My tears have been my food day and night; because men say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

4 A hoomanao aku au ia mau mea, ninini iho au i ko'u uhane iloko o'u: No ka mea, ua hele au me ka lehulehu, Hele pu no wau me lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, Me ka leo o ka olioli, a me ka hoolea, Me ke anaina malama i ka ahaaina.

These things will I remember, and pour out my soul in me: how I was wont to pass along amidst the multitude, journeying with them as a pilgrim to the house of God, with the voice of joyful song and thanksgiving, among the festive throng.

5 No ke aha la oe e hoohaahaaia, e kuu uhane? No ke aha la oe i paumako ai iloko o'u? E manao laua aku oe i ke Akua; No ka mea, e hoolea auanei au ia ia, No ke kokua ana mai o kona maka.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul, and disquieted in me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, because of the salvation of his countenance.

6 E ko'u Akua, ua hoohaahaa ko'u uhane iloko o'u: Nolaila e hoomanao aku ai au ia oe ma ka aina Ioredane, A ma na Heremona a me ka mauna Mizara.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and from the peaks of Chermon, from the low mount.

7 Ke kahea nei kekahi hohonu i kekahi hohonu, I ka halulu mau ana o kou waipuilani; Ua popoi mai na ale me na nalu maluna'e o'u.

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows have passed over me.

8 Aka, i ke ao e kauoha mai o Iehova i kona lokomaikai, A i ka po, eia auanei me au ka mele nona, A me ka'u pule i ke Akua o ko'u ola nei.

In the daytime the Lord will command his kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, as a prayer unto the God of my life.

9 E olelo aku au i ke Akua i ko'u Pohaku, No ke aha la oe e hoopoina mai ai ia'u? No ke aha la e u hele ai au no ka hooluhihewa ana mai o ka enemi?

I will say unto God, my rock, why hast thou forgotten me? why must I walk grieved, under the oppression of the enemy?

10 Me he pahikaua la iloko o ko'u mau iwi, Ke hoino mai nei ko'u poe enemi ia'u; I ka lakou olelo ana mai ia'u i kela la i keia la, Auhea la kou Akua.

It is as death in my bones, when my assailants reproach me; when they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

11 No ke aha la oe i hooliaahaaia'i, e ko'u uhane? No ke aha la oe i paumako ai iloko o'u? E hoolana i ka manao i ke Akua; No ka mea, e hoolea auanei au ia ia; Oia ke ola o ko'u maka, a me kuu Akua.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within met? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
