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 the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

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 are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

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 rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.

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 those who are 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 as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.
