Halelu 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

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

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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.

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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 shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
