Halelu 114

1 KA hale o Iakoha hoi, mai waena aku o na kanaka olelo e;

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 O Iuda no kona keenakapu, A o Iseraela kona aupuni.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Ike mai la ke kai, a holo aku la; A huli hope o Ioredane.

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

4 Lelele ae la na mauna e like me na hipakane, A me na puu hoi e like me na keikihipa.

The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

5 Heaha kau, e ke kai, i holo aku ai oe? E Ioredane hoi, i hoohuliia'i oe ihope?

What ails thee, O thou sea, that thou flee? Thou Jordan, that thou turn back?

6 E na mauna, i lelele ai oukou e like me na hipakane? A me na puu hoi e like me na keikihipa?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs?

7 E naueue oe, e ka honua, imua o ka Haku, Imua hoi o ke Akua o Iakoha.

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 Ka mea i hoolilo i ka pohaku, i wai lana, A me ka pohaku paea, i punawai.

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
