Halelu 105
1 E MILILANI aku ia Iehova, e kahea aku hoi i kona inoa: E hoike aku hoi i kana mau hana iwaena o na kanaka.
Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
2 E oli aku ia ia, e hoolea aku ia ia; E hookaulana aku i kana mau hana a pau.
Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
3 E kaena oukou ma kona inoa hoano, E lealea hoi ka naau o ka poe imi ia Iehova.
Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
4 E huli oukou ia Iehova, a me kona ikaika; E imi mau loa aku hoi i kona maka.
Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
5 E hoomanao i na hana mana ana i hana'i, A me kana mau mea kupanaha, A me ka hooponopono ana o kona waha:
You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
6 E na pua a Aberahama, a kana kauwa, E na mamo a Iakoba, kona mea i wae ai.
7 Oia no o Iehova, ko kakou Akua: Aia ma ka honua a pau kana hoopononono ana.
He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
8 Ua hoomanao mau mai oia i kona berita, I ka olelo hoi ana i kauoha mai ai i na hanauna he tausani;
He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
9 Ka mea ana i hana mai ai ia Aberahama, A me kana hoohiki ana ia Isaaka;
that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
10 A hoopaa mai no hoi oia ia mea ia Iakoba i kanawai nona, A ia Iseraela hoi, i berita mau loa.
[Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
11 I mai la, E haawi aku no wau ia oe i ka aina o Kanaana, I moku no oukou e nobo hooilina ai;
What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
12 I ko lakou noho kanaka ole ana, na uuku; A he poe uuku a malihini hoi malaila.
[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
13 Ia lakou i hele ai, mai kekahi aina, a i kekahi aina, A mai kekahi aupuni aku, a i kekahi lahuikanaka e;
They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
14 Aole ia i kuu mai i kekahi kanaka a hana ino ia lakou; Papa mai no oia i na'lii no lakou:
But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
15 Mai hoopa oukou i ko'u poe i poniia, A mai hana ino hoi i ko'u poe kaula.
“Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
16 Kahea ae no hoi ia, i wi ma ia aina, Uhai no hoi oia i ko kookoo berena a pau.
He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
17 Hoouna ae la oia i ke kanaka mamua o lakou, A kuaiia o Iosepa i kauwa;
So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
18 A hoeha lakou i kona mau wawae i ke kupee; A komo no hoi kona ola iloko o ka paahao;
[Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
19 A hiki i ka manawa o kana olelo ana; Alaila, hoao ae la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia.
There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
20 Hoouna ae la ke alii, a hookuu iho la ia ia; Na ka luna o na kanaka i wehe ae ia ia.
The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
21 Hoonoho iho la oia ia ia i haku maluna o kona bale, A i luna hoi maluua o kona waiwai a pau;
[Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
22 E nakinaki i kona poo alii, ma kona manao iho, A e hoonaauao hoi i kana poe luna kahiko.
(Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
23 Hele ae la o Iseraela i Aigupita; Noho malihini iho la o Iakoba ma ka aina o Hama.
Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
24 Hookawowo nui iho la kela i kona poe kanaka, A hoomahuahua ae la i ko lakou ikaika imua o ko lakou poe enemi.
And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
25 Hoohuli aku la oia i ko lakou naau, I inaina mai ai i kona poe kanaka, A e hana maalea hoi i kana poe kanwa,
[So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
26 Hoouna mai la oia ia Mose, i kana kanwa, Ia Aarona hoi, ka mea ana i wae mai ai
[But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
27 Hoike mai la laua i kona hoailona no lakou, A me kana mau hana kupanaha ma ka aina o Hama.
Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
28 Hoouna mai la oia i ka pouli, a ua pouli iho la, Aole hoi laua i kipi aku i kana olelo.
Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
29 Hoolilo mai la oia i ko lakou wai i koko, A hoopau hoi i ka lakou ia i ka make.
Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
30 Hookawowo mai la ko lakou aina i na rana, Aia no iloko o na keena o ko lakou poe alii.
[Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
31 Olelo mai oia a hiki mai la na makika, O na uku hoi kekahi ma ko lakou mokuna a pau.
[Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
32 Haawi mai la oia i ko lakou ua, he huahekili, I ke ahi hoi, e lapalapa ana ma ko lakou aina,
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
33 Hahau mai la oia i ko lakou mau kumu waina, a me na laau fiku, o lakou; A uhai mai la hoi i na laau o ko, lakou mokuna.
The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
34 Olelo mai la oia, a hiki mai la na uhini, A me na enuhe huluhulu pau ole i ka helu.
He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
35 A ai iho la lakou i na mea uliuli a pau o ko lakou aina, A hoopau no hoi i ka hua o ka lakou mahinaai.
The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
36 Pepehi no hoi oia i na makahiapo a pau o ko lakou aina, I ke pookela hoi o ko lakou ikaika a pau.
[Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
37 Hoopuka mai la oia ia lakou iwaho, me ke kala a me ke gula; Aohe mea nawaliwali mawaena o ko lakou mau ohana.
Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
38 Olioli no ko Aigupita i ko lakou puka ana iwaho; No ka mea, kau mai la ka makau ia lakou maluna o ia poe.
[The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
39 Hohola ae la oia i ke ao e uhi ai ia lakou, I ke ahi hoi, e hoomalamalama mai i ka po.
[Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
40 Nonoi aku la lakou, a lawe mai la ia i na silo, A hoomaona mai la oia ia lakou i ka berena o ka lani.
[Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
41 Wahi ae la oia i ka pohaku, a poha mai la na wai; Kahe ae la lakou ma kahi maloo, he muliwai.
[One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
42 No ka mea, hoomanao ae la ia i kana olelo hoano, A me Aberahama hoi, i kana kauwa.
[He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
43 Hoopuka mai oia i kona poe kanaka me ka olioli, A me kona poe i waeia me ka hauoli.
So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
44 Haawi mai la oia i ka aina o ko na aina e no lakou, A loaa mai ia lakou ka mea a na kanaka i hooikaika'i:
He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
45 I mea e malama'i lakou i kana mau kauoha, A e hana pono hoi i kona mau kanawai. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
[Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
