Psalms 149

1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

E HALELU aku oukou ia Iehova, E oli aku ia Iehova, i ke mele hou, I kona mau halelu hoi ma ke anaina o ka poe haipule.

2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

E lealea o ka Iseraela i ka mea nana ia i hana; E hauoli hoi na keiki a Ziona i ko lakou alii.

3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

E halelu aku lakou i kona inoa ma ka haa ana; E hoolea aku lakou ia ia ma ka pahukani, a me ka lira.

4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

No ka mea, ua lealea o Ivhova i kona poe kanaka; E hoonani mai no oia ia lakou i ke ola.

5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

E hooho olioli no ka poe haipule maloko o ka nani: E hauoli no lakou ma ko lakou wahi moe.

6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

Ma ko lakou waha, ka hapai i ke Akua, A ma ko lakou lima hoi, he pahikaua maka lua;

7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

E hana me ka hoopai aku i ko na aina e, A me ka paipai aku i na kanaka:

8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

E hoopaa i na'lii i na kaula, A me ko lakou kaukaualii, i na kupee hao.

9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!

E hana aku ia lakou i ka hoopai i palapalaia; Oia ka nani o kona poe haipule a pau. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
