Halelu 115
1 A OLE ia makou, e Iehova, aole ia makou, Aka. i kou inoa no e haawiia'ka ai ka hoonani. No kou lokomaikai, a me kou oiaio.
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
2 No ke aha la i olelo mai ai ko na aina e, Aubea ko lakou Akua?
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3 Aia no i ka lani ko makou Akua; Ua haua no oia i na mea a pau ana i makemake ai.
Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
4 O ko lakou poe akua, he kala, a he gula hoi, O ka haua a na lima o kanaka.
Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5 He waha no ko lakou, aole nae e olelo mai; He maka no ko lakou, aole nae e ike mai:
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
6 He pepeiao no ko lakou, aole nae e lohe; He ihu no hoi ko lakou, aole nae e honi:
they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
7 He mau lima no ko lakou, aole nae e lawelawe; He mau wawae no ko lakou, aole nae e hele; Aole hoi e olelo lakou, ma ko lakou kania-i.
they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
8 Me ia poe akua, pela no ka poe i hana ia lakou, A me ka poe a pau e hilinai ia lakou.
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
9 E ka Iseraela, e hilinai oukou ia Iehova; Oia ko lakou kokua a me ko lakou palekaua.
O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
10 E ka ohana a Aarona, e hilinai oukou ia Iehova; Oia ko lakou kokua, a me ko lakou palekaua.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
11 E ka poe makau ia Iehova, e hilinai oukou ia Iehova; Oia ko lakou kokua, a me ko lakou palekaua.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
12 Ua hoomanao mai o Iehova ia kakou, e hoomaikai no oia; E hoomaikai mai no oia i ka ohana a Iseraela, E hoomaikai mai no oia i ka ohana a Aarona.
The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
13 E hoomaikai mai no oia i ka poe e makau aku ia Iehova, I na mea uuku, a me na mea nui.
He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
14 E hoomahuahua mai no o Iehova ia oukou, Ia oukou no, a me ka oukou poe keiki.
May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
15 Ua hoopomaikaiia oukou e Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana ka lani, a me ka honua.
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 Na Iehova no na lani o na lani; Ua haawi mai nae oia i ka honua no na keiki a kanaka.
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
17 Aole ka poe make e halelu aku ia Iehova, Aole hoi ka poe a pau e iho ilalo i kahi ekemu ole.
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
18 Aka, o kakou, e hoomaikai aku no kakou ia Iehova, Mai keia wa aku, a i ka manawa pau ole. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova,
But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
