< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
E HALELU aku ia Iehova; E kuu uhane, e halelu aku ia Iehova.
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
E halelu aku au ia Iehova i ko'u ola ana; E hoolea aku no wau i ko'u Akua i ko'u manawa a pau.
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
Mai hilinai oukou i na'lii, I ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi, ka mea hiki ole ke hoola mai.
4 And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
Puka aku no kona ea, a hoi oia i ka lepo; I ua la la no, make kona mau manao.
5 But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
Pomaikai ka mea, ia ia ke Akua o Iakoba, i kokua nona, Ka mea hoi i hoolana ma Iehova, kona Akua:
6 He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
Ka Mea nana i hana ka lani a me ka honua, Ka moana hoi, a me na mea a pau iloko ona, Ka Mea i malama mau loa mai i ka oiaio;
7 He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
Ka Mea i hooponopono i ka poe i hookaumahaia; Ka Mea i haawi mai i ka ai na ka poe pololi. Na Iehova no ka hookuu ana o ka poe paa.
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
Hookaakaa mai no o Iehova i na maka o ka poe makapo; Hoala mai no o Iehova i ka poe kulou, i hookulouia: Aloha mai na hoi o Iehova i ka poe pono.
9 Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
Malama mai no o Iehova i na malihini, Hoolako hou mai no oia i ka poe makua ole, a me na wahinekanemake; Hookahuli wale oia i ka aoao o ka poe hewa.
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
E noho aupuni no o Iehova, a i ke ao pau ole, O kou Akua hoi, e Ziona, a i na hanauna a pau. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
