Halelu 79
1 E KE Akua e, ua komo mai ko na aina e iloko o kou hooilina; Ua hoohaumia lakou i kou luakini hoano; A ua hoolilo no hoi ia Ierusalema, i ahu opala.
A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; they have polluted thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
2 Ua haawi lakou i na kupapau o kau poe kauwa, I ai na na manu o ka lewa; A me ke kino no hoi o kou poe haipule, Na na holoholona o ka honua.
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of thy holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.
3 Ua hookahe lakou i ko lakou nei koko me he wai la, A puni o Ierusalema; aohe mea nana e kanu iho.
They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
4 Ua lilo makou i mea hoowahawahaia e ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, He mea hoaikola, a akaaka hoi i ka poe e noho mai la a puni makou.
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.
5 Pehea la ka loihi, e Iehova? E huhu mau loa mai anei oe? E a anei kou lili me he ahi la?
How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 E ninini mai oe i kou huhu maluna o ko na aina e, Ka poe i ike ole ia oe, Maluna hoi o na aupuni i kahea ole aku i kou inoa.
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name.
7 No ka mea, ua hoopau lakou ia Iakoba, A ua hooneoneo hoi i kona wahi i noho ai.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
8 Mai hoomanao mai oe i na hala o ka makou poe kupuna, I mea e hewa'i makou: E hoowikiwiki mai oe i kou lokomaikai, No ka mea, ua pilikia loa makou.
Remember not our old transgressions; let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
9 E kokua mai oe ia makou, e ke Akua o ko makou ola, I mea e hoonaniia'i kou inoa: E hoopakele mai oe ia makou, E kala mai hoi i ko makou hewa, no kou inoa iho.
Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for thy name's sake.
10 No ke aha la e olelo mai ai ko na aina e, Auhea la ko lakou Akua? Ina e ikeia oia e ko na aina e imua o ko makou mau maka, E hoopai ana i ke koko o kau poe kauwa i hookaheia.
Lets haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of thy servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.
11 Ina e hiki aku imua ou ke kaniuhu ana o ke pio; E like me ka nui o kou mana, e hoopakele mai oe i na keiki o ka make.
Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
12 Maluna o ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, E hoihoi pahiku oe iloko o ko lakou umauma, I ka hoino a lakou i hoino aku ai ia oe, e ka Haku e.
Repay to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13 Alaila, o makou, na kanaka ou, a me na hipa au i hanai ai, E mililaui mau aku no makou ia oe; A e hookani makou i kou nani i na hanauna a pau.
For we are thy people and the sheep of thy pasture; we will give thee thanks for ever; we will declare thy praise throughout all generations.
