Halelu 146

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

Praise JAH. Praise YHWH, 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.

While I live, I will praise YHWH. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Do not put your trust in princes, each a 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 spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. 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:

Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH 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 is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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 executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. YHWH frees 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.

YHWH opens the eyes of the blind. YHWH raises up those who are bowed down. YHWH loves 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.

YHWH preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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.

YHWH will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise JAH.
