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 ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

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

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

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

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord is he who guards you 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 by day shall not strike you, nor 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.

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

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 will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
