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 Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

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

Our feet stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

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.

For thither the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto 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 are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David.

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

Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love thee.

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

Let peace, I pray, be within thine host, and prosperity in thy palaces.

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 brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.

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

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought thy good.
