Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy 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 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to 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 Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

No ka mea, ua lealea o Ivhova i kona poe kanaka; E hoonani mai no oia ia lakou i ke ola.

5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

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

7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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 honoured ones with fetters of iron,

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

9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

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.
