Halelu 122

1 O LIOLI aku la au, ia lakou i olelo mai ai ia'u, E hele kakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova.

A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

2 E ku no ko kakou mau wawae, Maloko o kou mau pukapa, e Ierusalema.

Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Ua hoonohonohoia o Ierusalema, E like me ke kulanakauhale i kapiliia.

Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

4 Pii aku no na ohana malaila, Na ohana hoi o Iehova, me kana i kauoha ai i ka Iseraela, E hoolea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.

where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 No ka mea, ua hoonohoia malaila na nohoalii no ka hoopono, Na nohoalii no ka ohana a Davida.

For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

6 E noi aku oukou i maluhia o Ierusalema; E pomaikai auanei ka poe e aloha aku ia oe.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

7 I noho ka maluhia iloko o kou mau pa, A me ka pomaikai iloko o kou halealii.

May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

8 No ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ko'u poe makamaka, E olelo aku no wau, ano la, i maluhia maloko ou.

For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

9 No ka hale o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, E imi aku no wau, i ka pono nou.

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
