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 Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we go.'

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

Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself 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 have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of 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 have sat thrones of judgment, 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.

Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

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

Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

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 companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in 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 Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
