Psalms 8

1 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau! Ua hohola oe i kou nani maluna o na lani.

2 You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

Noloko ae o ka waha o na keiki hou a me na mea omo, I hoomakaukau ai oe i ka hoolea no kou poe enemi, I pilipu ia oe ka enemi, a me ka mea hoomaau.

3 When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

I ko'u manao ana'ku i kou mau lani, ka hana o kou mau lima, I ka mahina a me na hoku au i hooponopono mai ai;

4 it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

Heaha ke kanaka i manao mai ai oe ia ia? A o ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi i ike mai ai oe ia ia?

5 You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

Ua hana iho oe ia ia malalo iho o ka poe anela, Ua kau mai oe ia ia i ka nani a me ka mahalo i lei nona;

6 You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

Ua hoolilo oe ia ia i haku no na mea a kou mau lima i hana'i; Nau no i waiho na mea a pau malalo ae o kona mau wawae:

7 the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

O na hipa, a me na bipi a pau, Oia, me na holoholona o ke kula;

8 the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

O na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea a pau e holo ana ma na ala o ka moana.

9 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau!
