Halelu 147
1 E HALELU aku oukou ia Iehova: No ka mea, he mea maikai ke hoolea aku i ko kakou Akua; No ka mea, he lealea ia, a he mea ku pono ka halelu.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.
2 Kukulu no o Iehova ia Ierusalema; Hoiliili mai no oia i ka poe aea o ka Iseraela.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Hoomaha mai no oia i ka poe naau haehae, A wahi no hoi oia i ko lakou mau eha.
He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.
4 Hoike mai no oia i ka heluna o na hoku; Hea ae no hoi oia ia lakou a pau ma ka inoa.
He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.
5 He nui no ko kakou Haku, a na nui hoi kona ikaika; A he mea hiki ole ke hai aku i kona ike.
Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
6 Hookiekie no o Iehova i ka poe hoohaahaa; A hoohaahaa no oia i ka poe hewa ilalo i ka lepo.
The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
7 E olioli aku ia Iehova, me ka mililani aku, E hoolea aku i ko kakou Akua ma ka mea kani.
Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
8 Ka Mea i uhi i ka lani i na ao, Ka Mea i hoomakaukau i ka ua no ka honua, Ka Mea i hooulu mai i ka mauu, maluna o na mauna.
He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.
9 Haawi mai no oia i ka ai na ka holoholona, Na ka poe koraka hoi, na ka mea kahea aku ia ia.
He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.
10 Aole ia e lealea i ka ikaika o ka lio, Aole ia e hauoli hoi i na wawae o ke kanaka.
He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
11 E lealea no o Iehova i ka poe makau aku ia ia, I ka poe hoi e hoolana ma kona lokomaikai.
The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
12 E hiilani ia Iehova, e Ierusalema, E halelu aku i kou Akua, e Ziona.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion.
13 No ka mea, hoopaa no oia i na kaola o kou mau pukapa; Hoomaikai no hoi oia i kau mau keiki iloko ou.
For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.
14 Haawi mai no oia i ka malu ma kou mau mokuna, A hoomaona mai ia oe i ka palaoa maikai.
He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.
15 Hoouna mai oia i kana mau olelo i ka honua, Holo kiki no kana mau olelo.
He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.
16 Haawi mai no oia i ka hau, me he hulu hipa la, Hoohelelei mai oia i ka hau paa, e like me ka lehu ahi.
He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.
17 Hoohelelei mai oia i kona mau huahekili e like me na huna ai: Owai hoi ka mea hiki ke ku imua o kona anuanu?
He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?
18 Hoouna mai oia i kana olelo, a hoohehee ia lakou; Hoohuai mai oia i kona makani, a kahe iho la na wai.
He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.
19 Hoike mai no oia i kana olelo i ka Iakoba, I kana mau olelopaa hoi, a me kana hooponopono ana i ka Iseraela.
He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 Aole ia i hana pela i ko na aina e a pau; O kana hooponopono ana, aole lakou i ike mai ia. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.
