Halelu 88
1 E IEHOVA, ke Akua o ko'u ola, Ua kahea aku no au imua ou i ke ao a me ka po.
“A song or psalm of the sons of Korach, to the chief musician upon Machalath-le'annoth, a Maskil of Heman the Ezrachite.” O Lord the God of my salvation, by day do I cry, [and] at night I am before thee.
2 E hookomo aku i ka'u pule imua ou; E haliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u kahea ana.
Let my prayer come unto thy presence; incline thy ear unto my entreaty.
For my soul is sated with troubles; and my life draweth nigh unto the nether world. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ua helu pu ia no wau me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua; Ua like hoi au me ke kanaka, aohe ona ikaika:
I am counted with those that descend into the pit; I am become as a man without vigor:
5 Ua waiho wale ia iwaena o ka poe make, Ua like hoi me ka poe i houia e moe ana ma ka lua, Aole oe e hoomanao hou ia lakou; Ua hookiia lakou, mai kou lima aku.
Free among the dead, like the slain that dwell in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more; and those that are cut off by thy hand.
6 Ua hoomoe oe ia'u iloko o ka lua hohonu loa, Maloko o ka pouli, a me ua hohonu.
Thou hast laid me in the pit of the lower world, in darkness, in the depths.
7 Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
Upon me lieth heavily thy fury, and with all thy billows hast thou afflicted me. (Selah)
8 Ua hookaawale loa aku oe i ko'u makamaka mai o'u aku, Ua hoolilo mai oe ia'u i mea hoopailua no lakou: Ua paa no hoi au, aole e hiki ia'u ke hele aku.
Thou hast removed my acquaintances far from me; thou hast rendered me an abomination unto them: I am imprisoned, and I cannot go forth.
9 Ua hokii ko'u mau maka no ka popilikia; Ua kahea aku no wau ia oe, e Iehova, i na la a pau, Ua kikoo aku no hoi au i ko'u lima ia oe.
My eye languisheth by reason of affliction: I call on thee, O Lord, every day, I stretch out unto thee my hands.
10 E hoike anei oe i na hana mana no ka poe i make? E ala mai anei na lapu e hoolea aku ia oe? (Sila)
Wilt thou display wonders to the dead? shall the departed arise [and] thank thee? (Selah)
11 E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
Shall thy kindness be related in the grave? thy faithfulness in the place of corruption?
12 E ikea anei kau hana mana maloko o ka pouli? A me kou pono hoi maloko o ka aina meki?
Shall thy wonders be acknowledged in the darkness? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 E kahea aku nae au ia oe, e Iehova; I ke kakahiaka hoi e halawai no ka'u pule me oe.
Yet I cry indeed aloud unto thee, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
14 E Iehova, no ke aha la oe e hoopailua mai i ko'u uhane? A huna hoi i kou maka ia'u?
Why, O Lord, wilt thou cast off my soul? [why] wilt thou hide thy face from me?
15 Ua pilikia au, a kokoke no i ka make, mai ko'u wa uuku mai; Ia'u i loohia'i i kou mea makau, ua kupikipikio au.
I am afflicted and perishing from my youth up: I bear thy terrors, I am distracted.
16 Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
Over me have the fires of thy wrath passed; thy terrors have destroyed me;
17 Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
They encompass me like water all the time; they have closed in round about me together.
18 Ua hookaawale loa oe i ko'u mea aloha, a me ko'u makamaka, mai o'u aku, Aia hoi ko'u hoalauna ma ka pouli.
Thou hast removed far from me lover and friend, my acquaintances [are in] darkness.
