Halelu 146
1 E HALELU aku ia Iehova; E kuu uhane, e halelu aku ia Iehova.
Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
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 praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
3 Mai hilinai oukou i na'lii, I ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi, ka mea hiki ole ke hoola mai.
Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
4 Puka aku no kona ea, a hoi oia i ka lepo; I ua la la no, make kona mau manao.
His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
5 Pomaikai ka mea, ia ia ke Akua o Iakoba, i kokua nona, Ka mea hoi i hoolana ma Iehova, kona Akua:
O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah 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;
Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
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.
Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
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.
Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving 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.
Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth 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.
Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
