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, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.
2 No ke aha la i olelo mai ai ko na aina e, Aubea ko lakou Akua?
Why should the heathen say, “Where is now 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 he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
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 human hands.
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: no sound comes from 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.
Their makers become like them, so 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 their shield.
10 E ka ohana a Aarona, e hilinai oukou ia Iehova; Oia ko lakou kokua, a me ko lakou palekaua.
House of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their 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 their 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, mindful of us, 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, the small and the great together.
14 E hoomahuahua mai no o Iehova ia oukou, Ia oukou no, a me ka oukou poe keiki.
May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.
15 Ua hoopomaikaiia oukou e Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana ka lani, a me ka honua.
Blessed be you of the Lord, creator 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 heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth has he given to people.
17 Aole ka poe make e halelu aku ia Iehova, Aole hoi ka poe a pau e iho ilalo i kahi ekemu ole.
The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who go down 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 we will bless the Lord from now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
