Halelu 121

1 E LEHA aku au i ko'u mau maka i na mauna, Mailaila mai ko'u kokua e hiki mai ai.

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

2 Mai Iehova mai ko'u kokua, Nana no i hana i ka lani, a me ka honua.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

3 Aole ia e haawi i kou wawae i ke kulanalana; O ka mea malama ia oe, aole ia e maluhiluhi.

Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

4 Aia hoi, o ka mea malama i ka Iseraela, Aole ia e maluhiluhi, aole ia e hiamoe.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

5 O Iehova no kou kiai; O Iehova no kou malu, ma kou lima akau.

The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

6 Aole e hahau mai ka la ia oe i ke ao, Aole hoi o ka mahina i ka po.

The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

7 E malama mai no o Iehova ia oe i ka ino a pau; Nana no e malama i kou uhane.

May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

8 E kiai no o Iehova i kou puka ana iwaho a me kou komo ana iloko, Mai keia wa a ka manawa pau ole.

The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
