Halelu 74
1 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?
[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Wherefore hast thou rejected [us], O God, for ever? [wherefore] is thy wrath kindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 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.
Remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased from the beginning; thou didst ransom the rod of thine inheritance; this mount Sion wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 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.
Lift up thine hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in thy holy places.
4 Ua uwo kou poe enemi iloko o na anaina; Ua kau lakou i ko lakou mau hae i hoailona.
And they that hate thee have boasted in the midst of thy feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
5 Kaulana aku la ke kanaka, E like me kona hapai ana i na koi i na laau paapu.
ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6 Aka ano, ke wawahi nei lakou i kona mea i kalaiia, Me na koi a me na hamare.
they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
7 Ua hoolei lakou i ke ahi iloko o kou wahi hoano, Ua hoohaumia lakou ilalo i ka lepo i ka halelewa o kou inoa.
They have burnt thy sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of thy name.
8 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.
They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
9 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.
We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more.
10 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?
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name forever?
11 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.
Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever?
12 No ka mea, o ke Akua ko'u Alii mai kinohi mai, E hana ana ma ke ola iwaena o ka honua.
But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kai me kou ikaika: Wawahi iho la oe i na poo o na kerokodila ma na wai.
Thou didst establish the sea, in thy might, thou didst break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.
14 Ulupa iho la oe i na poo o ka leviatana, A haawi ia ia i ai na na kanaka o ka waonahele.
Thou didst break to pieces the heads of the dragon; thou didst give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations.
15 Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kumuwai me ka muliwai: Hoomaloo iho la oe i na waikahe ikaika.
Thou didst cleave fountains and torrents; thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 Nou no ke ao, nou no hoi ka po: Ua hoomakaukau oe i ka malamalama a me ka la.
The day is thine, and the night is thine; thou hast prepared the sun and the moon.
17 Ua hoonohonoho oe i na palena a pau o ka honua; Ua hana hoi oe i ka hoilo a me ka makalii.
Thou hast made all the borders of the earth; thou hast made summer and spring.
18 E hoomanao oe i keia, ua hoino wale ka enemi, e Iehova, A ua kuamuamu wale na kanaka naaupo i kou inoa.
Remember this thy creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked thy name.
19 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.
Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to thee: forget not for ever the souls of thy poor.
20 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.
Look upon thy covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.
21 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.
let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
22 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.
Arise, O God, plead thy cause: remember thy reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.
23 Mai hoopoina i ka leo o kou poe enemi: Ke mahuahua mai nei ka haunaele ana o ka poe ku e ia oe.
Forget not the voice of thy suppliants: let the pride of them that hate thee continually ascend before thee.
