< Halelu 124 >

1 I NA aole i noho pu o Iehova me kakou, Wahi a ka Iseraela,
A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
2 Ina aole i noho pu o Iehova me kakou, I ka wa i ala ku e mai ai na kanaka ia kakou,
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
3 Ina ua moni koke mai lakou ia kakou, I ka wela ana o ko lakou huhu ia kakou.
Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Ina ua poipu hoi na wai maluna o kakou, A ua hiki mai ka waikahe maluna o ko kakou uhane:
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
5 Ina ua kahe no hoi ka waiholomoku maluna o ko kakou uhane.
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, Ka mea haawi ole ia kakou i waiwai pio i ko lakou niho.
Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Ua hoopakeleia no ko kakou uhane, Me he manu la, mai ka hei ana aku i ka poe lawaiamanu; Ua moku ka upena a ua hoopakeleia kakou.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Aia no ko kakou kokua, maloko o ka inoa o Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana ka lani me ka honua.
Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
