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 ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

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

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; 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.

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

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

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He is not afraid of evil tidings; 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.

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

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 hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with 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, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
