Halelu 133

1 A IA hoi, nani ka maikai a me ka oluolu, O ka noho lokahi pu ana o na hoahanau!

A Canticle in steps: of David. Behold, how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to dwell in unity.

2 Ua like ia me ka poni maikai ma ke poo, Ka mea i kahe ilalo ma ka umiumi, Ma ka umiumi hoi o Aarona, A hiki hoi ilalo i na kihi o kona mau aahu.

It is like the ointment on the head that descended to the beard, the beard of Aaron, which descended to the hem of his garment.

3 Ua like ia me ka hau o Heremona, Ka mea i haule mai maluna o na mauna o Ziona; No ka mea, malaila no i kauoha mai ai o Iehova i ka hoomaikaiia, I ke ola hoi, a hiki i ka manawa pau ole.

It is like the dew of Hermon, which descended from mount Zion. For in that place, the Lord has commanded a blessing, and life, even unto eternity.
