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. By David.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Jehovah's house."

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

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

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

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined 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, even the tribes of JAH, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to 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 David's house.

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. Those who love you will prosper.

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

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your 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 brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now 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 Jehovah our God, I will seek your good.
