Halelu 125

1 O KA poe hilinai aku ia Iehova, E like no lakou me ka mauna o Ziona, Aole ia e naue, e noho mau loa no.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

2 Ua puni o Ierusalema i na mauna, Pela o Iehova e hoopuni ai i kona poe kanaka, Mai keia wa aku, a i ka manawa pau ole.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.

3 Aole e waihoia ke kookoo o ka poe hewa, Ma ka puu o ka poe pono; O kau aku ka poe pono i ko lakou lima ma ka hewa.

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

4 E hana maikai mai oe, e Iehova, i ka poe maikai, A i ka poe hoi i pololei ma ko lakou naau.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

5 O ka poe kapae ma ko lakou ala keekee, E alakai pu aku no o Iehova ia lakou me ka poe hana lapuwale; A he malu no maluna o ka Iseraela.

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
