< Psalms 132 >

1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
E IEHOVA, e hoomanao mai oe ia Davida, A me na pilikia ona a pau:
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
I ka mea ana i hoohiki ai ia Iehova, Hoohiki no oia i ka Mea ikaika o Iakoba;
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
Aole loa au e komo iloko o ka hale lewa o ko'u hale, Aole hoi au i ea maluna o ko'u wahi moe;
4 I will not sleep at all
Aole au e haawi i ka hiamoe ma ko'u mau maka, Aole hoi i ka maluhiluhi na ko'u mau lihilihi,
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
A loaa ia'u, he wahi no Iehova, A me kahi e noho ai no ka Mea mana o Iakoha.
6 In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
Aia hoi, ua lohe no kakou ia ma Eperata; Ua loaa ia kakou ia ma Papuululaau.
7 [Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
E komo no kakou iloko o kona mau wahi e noho ai; A e moe hoomana kakou ma kona keehana wawae.
8 Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
E ku mai oe, e Iehova, iloko o kou wahi e maha'i; O oe, a me ka pahu o kou nani.
9 I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
A kahikoia kou poe kahuna i ka pono, A e hauoli hoi kau poe haipule.
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
No Davida, no kau kauwa, Mai hoohuli aku i ka maka o kou mea i poniia.
11 Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
Hoohiki mai la o Iehova ia Davida ma ka oiaio, Aole loa oia i huli, mai ia mea aku, O ka hua a kou kino ka'u e hoonoho ai maluna o kou nohoalii.
12 If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
Ina e malama kau poe keiki i ko'u berita, A me na kanawai a'u e ao aku ai ia lakou, Alaila, o ka lakou keiki o na manawa a pau, E noho no lakou ma kou noho alii.
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
No ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova ia Ziona, A ua makemake oia ia, i wahi noho ai nona,
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
Eia ko'u wahi e hoomaha'i, a hiki i ka manawa pau ole; Maanei no wau e noho ai, no ka mea, Ua makemake no au ia.
15 I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
Oiaio no e hoomaikai no wau i kana ai; E hoomaona aku au i kona poe nele i ka berena.
16 I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
E kahiko no wau i kona poe kahuna i ka hoola, A e hauoli loa hoi kona poe haipule.
17 There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
Malaila no wau e hookupu ai i ka pepeiaohao o Davida; Ua hoomakaukau no wau i lamaku no ko'u mea i poniia.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
E hooaahu au i kona poe enemi i ka hilahila; Maluna ona e pua ai kona leialii.
