Halelu 128

1 POMAIKAI ka poe a pau i makau aku ia Iehova, A hele hoi ma kona mau alanui.

A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

2 E ai no oe i ka waiwai o kou mau lima, He pomaikai no kou, a he pono no hoi.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 E like no kau wahine me na kumuwaina hua nui, Ma na aoao o kou hale; E like no hoi kau mau keiki me na laau oliva, E ku puni ana i kou papaaina.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

4 Aia hoi! pela e hoopomaikaiia mai ai ke kanaka, Nana e makau aku ia Iehova.

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

5 E hoomaikai mai o Iehova ia oe mai Ziona mai; A e ike no oe i ka pono o Ierusalema, I na la a pau o kou ola ana.

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

6 E ike no hoi oe i na keiki o kau poe keiki, A me ka maluhia maluna o ka Iseraela.

that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
