Halelu 146

1 E HALELU aku ia Iehova; E kuu uhane, e halelu aku ia Iehova.

Hallelujah. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 E halelu aku au ia Iehova i ko'u ola ana; E hoolea aku no wau i ko'u Akua i ko'u manawa a pau.

I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being.

3 Mai hilinai oukou i na'lii, I ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi, ka mea hiki ole ke hoola mai.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 Puka aku no kona ea, a hoi oia i ka lepo; I ua la la no, make kona mau manao.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his dust; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Pomaikai ka mea, ia ia ke Akua o Iakoba, i kokua nona, Ka mea hoi i hoolana ma Iehova, kona Akua:

Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Ka Mea nana i hana ka lani a me ka honua, Ka moana hoi, a me na mea a pau iloko ona, Ka Mea i malama mau loa mai i ka oiaio;

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Ka Mea i hooponopono i ka poe i hookaumahaia; Ka Mea i haawi mai i ka ai na ka poe pololi. Na Iehova no ka hookuu ana o ka poe paa.

Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners;

8 Hookaakaa mai no o Iehova i na maka o ka poe makapo; Hoala mai no o Iehova i ka poe kulou, i hookulouia: Aloha mai na hoi o Iehova i ka poe pono.

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous;

9 Malama mai no o Iehova i na malihini, Hoolako hou mai no oia i ka poe makua ole, a me na wahinekanemake; Hookahuli wale oia i ka aoao o ka poe hewa.

The LORD preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked.

10 E noho aupuni no o Iehova, a i ke ao pau ole, O kou Akua hoi, e Ziona, a i na hanauna a pau. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.

The LORD will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
