Halelu 133

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

“A song of the degrees by David.” Behold, how good and how pleasant it is! when brethren dwell closely together [in union]!

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 precious oil upon the head, running down upon the beard, yea, Aaron's beard, which runneth down upon the upper border of his garments;

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.

Like the dew of Chermon, running down upon the mountains of Zion; for there hath the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
