Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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 rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult 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 Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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 taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek 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 pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron:

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.

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.
