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. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

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

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact 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.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

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, 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: they shall prosper that love thee.

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

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within 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 my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within 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 Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
