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 the degrees by David.” I was rejoiced when they said unto me, Unto the house of the Lord let us go.

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

Our feet are now standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem, which art built as a city wherein all associate 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.

For thither go 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 placed chairs for [giving] judgment, the chairs 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 ye for the peace of Jerusalem; may those that love thee prosper.

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

May there be peace within thy walls, 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 the sake of my brethren and my friends, let me now speak, Peace be within thee.

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, will I seek thy good.
