Halelu 128

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

A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

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

When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

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.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.

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

Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth 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.

The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

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

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
