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 Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing 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.

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, 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.

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

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

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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 he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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 — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with 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 wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
