Halelu 112

1 E HALELU aku ia Iehova. Pomaikai ke kanaka i makau aku ia Iehova, A lealea nui hoi ma kana mau kauoha.

Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

2 E nui ana auanei kana poe mamo ma ka honua; E pomaikai auanei ka hanauna o ka poe pololei.

Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

3 Aia ma kona hale ka waiwai a me ka ukana; A e mau loa ana no kona pono.

Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

4 No ka poe pono, puka mai no ka malamalama mailoko mai o ka pouli; He aloha, he lokomaikai, a he pono kona.

Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

5 O ke kanaka maikai, aloha ae la ia a haawi ae no hoi: Hooponopono no oia i kona mau mea, me ka naauao.

Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

6 Aole ia e kulanalana, a i ke ao pau ole; E hoomanao mau loa ia no hoi ka poe pono.

They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

7 Aole ia e makau i ka lono ana i na mea hewa; Ua onipaa kona naau, me ka hilinai aku ia Iehova.

They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

8 Ua kooia kona naau, aole ia e makau, A ike aku oia i ka mea maluna o kona poe enemi.

They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

9 Ua lulu aku oia, ua haawi wale i ka poe ilihune, E mau loa ana no kona pono; E hookiekieia kona pepeiaohao me ka hanohano.

They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

10 E ike mai no ka poe hewa, a huahua; E uwi no kona mau niho a e hehee wale oia: E pau auanei ka mea a ka poe hewa i makemake ai.

The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.
