Psalms 118
1 Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
E MILILANI aku ia Iehova; no ka mea, he maikai ia; A ua mau loa hoi kona lokomaikai.
2 You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
E olelo mai o ka Iseraela, Ua mau loa kona lokomaikai.
3 You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
E olelo mai ka ohana a Aarona, Ua mau loa kona lokomaikai.
4 All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
E olelo mai no ka poe e makau aku ia Iehova, Ua mau loa kona lokomaikai.
5 When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
Maloko o ka pilikia, kahea aku au ia Iehova; A ae mai o Iehova ia'u ma kahi akea.
6 Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
O Iehova pu no me a'u, aole au e makau: Heaha ka mea a ke kanaka e hana mai ai ia'u?
7 [Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
O Iehova pu no me au, a me ka mea i kokua ia'u; A e nana ae au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka hilinai aku ia Iehova, Mamua o ka manao ana i ke kanaka.
9 It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka hilinai aku ia Iehova, Mamua o ka manao ana i na'lii.
10 Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
Hoopuni mai ko na aina a pau ia'u, Aka, ma ka inoa o Iehova, e luku aku ai au ia lakou.
11 They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
Hoopuni mai no lakou ia'u, Oia, hoopuni mai no lakou ia'u; Aka, ma ka inoa o Iehova, e luku aku ai au ia lakou.
12 They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
Hoopuni mai lakou ia'u, me he poe nalomeli la, Ua pio wale lakou, e like me ke ahi kakalaioa; No ka mea, ma ka inoa o Iehova wau e luku aku ai ia lakou.
13 [My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
Ua hooke ikaika mai oe ia'u, i hina au; Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
14 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
O Iehova no ko'u ikaika, a me ko'u mea e hoolea ai, Ua lilo mai oia i Hoola no'u.
15 Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
Aia ka leo o ka hanoli, a me ka hoola, Ma na halelewa o ka poe pono: Ke hana koa nei ka lima akau o Iehova.
16 he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
Ua hapaiia ka lima akau o Iehova a kiekie; Ke hana koa nei ka lima akau o Iehova.
17 I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
Aole au e make, aka e ola aku no au, A e hoike aku au i ka hana a Iehova.
18 Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
Ua hahau nui mai o Iehova ia'u, Aole nae oia i haawi mai ia'u i ka make.
19 [You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
E wehe mai oe i na pukapa o ka pono no'u, E komo aku no wau iloko olaila, A e mililani aku au ia Iehova.
20 Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
O keia no ka pukapa o Iehova, E komo aku hoi ka poe pono iloko olaila.
21 [Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
E mililani aku au ia oe, no ka mea, ua hoolohe mai oe ia'u, A ua lilo mai oe i hoola no'u.
22 [Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
O ka pohaku a ka poe hana hale i haalele ai, Ua lilo ia i pohaku kumu no ke kihi.
23 (This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
Na Iehova mai no keia, A he mea mahaloia no hoi ia i ko kakou mau maka.
24 This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
O keia no ka la a Iehova i hana'i, E hauoli kakou, a e lealea ilaila.
25 Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, E hoola mai oe ano; Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, Ano oe e hoopomaikai mai.
26 Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
E hoomaikaiia ka mea e hele mai ana ma ka inoa o Iehova; Ua hoomaikai aku makou ia oukou mailoko aku o ka hale o Iehova.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
O ke Akua no o Iehova, ua hoomalamalama mai oia ia kakou; E nakinaki i ka mohai i na kaula, Ma na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu.
28 [Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
O oe no ko'u Akua, e mililani aku au ia oe; O ko'u Akua no, e hapai aku au ia oe.
29 Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
E mililani aku ia Iehova, no ka mea, ua maikai oia; Ua mau loa hoi kona lokomaikai.
