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.
Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
2 Kukulu no o Iehova ia Ierusalema; Hoiliili mai no oia i ka poe aea o ka Iseraela.
YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, He gathers the driven away of Israel.
3 Hoomaha mai no oia i ka poe naau haehae, A wahi no hoi oia i ko lakou mau eha.
Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
4 Hoike mai no oia i ka heluna o na hoku; Hea ae no hoi oia ia lakou a pau ma ka inoa.
Appointing the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
5 He nui no ko kakou Haku, a na nui hoi kona ikaika; A he mea hiki ole ke hai aku i kona ike.
Our Lord [is] great, and abundant in power, There is no narration of His understanding.
6 Hookiekie no o Iehova i ka poe hoohaahaa; A hoohaahaa no oia i ka poe hewa ilalo i ka lepo.
YHWH is causing the meek to stand, Making the wicked low to the earth.
7 E olioli aku ia Iehova, me ka mililani aku, E hoolea aku i ko kakou Akua ma ka mea kani.
Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, Sing to our God with a harp.
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.
Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing rain for the earth, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
9 Haawi mai no oia i ka ai na ka holoholona, Na ka poe koraka hoi, na ka mea kahea aku ia ia.
Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
10 Aole ia e lealea i ka ikaika o ka lio, Aole ia e hauoli hoi i na wawae o ke kanaka.
He does not delight in the might of the horse, He is not pleased in 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.
YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
12 E hiilani ia Iehova, e Ierusalema, E halelu aku i kou Akua, e Ziona.
Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, 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 strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your sons in your midst.
14 Haawi mai no oia i ka malu ma kou mau mokuna, A hoomaona mai ia oe i ka palaoa maikai.
Who is making your border peace, He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
15 Hoouna mai oia i kana mau olelo i ka honua, Holo kiki no kana mau olelo.
Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, His word runs very speedily.
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.
Who is giving snow like wool, He scatters hoarfrost as 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?
Casting forth His ice like morsels, Who stands before 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 sends forth His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow—the waters 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.
Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes 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 to any nation, As for judgments, they have not known them. Praise YAH!
