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, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
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 whatever he pleases.
4 O ko lakou poe akua, he kala, a he gula hoi, O ka haua a na lima o kanaka.
The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 He waha no ko lakou, aole nae e olelo mai; He maka no ko lakou, aole nae e ike mai:
Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not 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 they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not 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.
Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
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 are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
9 E ka Iseraela, e hilinai oukou ia Iehova; Oia ko lakou kokua a me ko lakou palekaua.
Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and 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 Yahweh; he is your 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 honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your 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.
Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family 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 honor him, both young and old.
14 E hoomahuahua mai no o Iehova ia oukou, Ia oukou no, a me ka oukou poe keiki.
May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
15 Ua hoopomaikaiia oukou e Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana ka lani, a me ka honua.
May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made 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 belong to Yahweh; 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.
The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any 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 Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
