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 are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

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

Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

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

Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

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 upright arises light in the darkness; full of favour and pity and kindness are they.

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

It is well with those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

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

For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

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

They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

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

Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their 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.

With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honour.

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 sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.
