Halelu 135
1 E HALELU aku ia Iehova, e halelu aku i ka inoa o Iehova; E halelu aku hoi oukou, e na kauwa a Iehova.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
2 Ka poe e ku ana ma ka hale o Iehova, Ma na kahua hoi o ka hale o ko kakou Akua,
who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God.
3 E halelu aku ia Iehova, no ka mea, ua maikai o Iehova; E hoolea aku i kona inoa, no ka mea, he mea lealea ia.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
4 No ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova i ka Iakoba nona, A i ka Iseraela hoi i waiwai nona.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
5 No ka mea, ua ike au, he nui o Iehova, A o ko kakou Haku hoi maluna o na akua a pau;
I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 O na mea a pau a Iehova i makemake ai, Ua hana oia ma ka lani, a ma ka honua, A ma na moana, a ma na wahi hohonu a pau.
The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
7 Nana no e hoopii ka ohu mai na kihi aku o ka honua; Nana no e hana na uwila no ka ua, A hoopuka mai la oia i ka makani mailoko mai o kona waihona.
He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
8 Nana no i pepehi ka makahiapo o ko Aigupita, Ka ke kanaka, a me ka ka holoholona hoi.
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
9 Hoouna mai la oia i na hoailona a me na hana mana, Iwaena konu ou, e Aigupita; Imua o Parao, a imua o kana poe kauwa a pau.
He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 Pepehi no oia i ko na aina, he nui loa, A luku mai i na'lii he koa loa;
He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
11 Ia Sihona ke alii o ko Amora, ia Oga hoi ke alii o Basana, A me ko na aupuni a pau o Kanaana.
Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
12 A haawi mai la oia i ko lakou aina i hooilina, I hooilina hoi no ka Iseraela no kona poe kanaka.
He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
13 E Iehova, e mau loa ana no kou inoa; E Iehova, e hoomanaoia no oe i na hanauna a pau.
Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
14 No ka mea, e hoapono mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, E minamina mai no oia i kana poe kauwa.
The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
15 O na akua o ko na aina e, he kala, a he gula, O ka hana o ko kanaka lima.
The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
16 He waha no ko lakou, aole nae e olelo mai; He mau maka no ko lakou, aole nae e ike mai;
They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
17 He mau pepeiao no hoi ko lakou, aole nae e lohe mai; Aohe hoi ea maloko o ko lakou waha.
They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
18 O ka poe i hana mai ia lakou, ua like kela poe me lakou: A me na mea a pau e hilinai ai ia lakou.
Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
19 E ka ohana a ka Iseraela, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova; E ka ohana a Aarona, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova;
People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
20 E ka ohana a Levi, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova; E ka poe i makau ia Iehova, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova.
Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
21 Mai Ziona mai e hoomaikaiia'i o Iehova, Ka mea e noho la ma Ierusalema. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
