Halelu 149

1 E HALELU aku oukou ia Iehova, E oli aku ia Iehova, i ke mele hou, I kona mau halelu hoi ma ke anaina o ka poe haipule.

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 E lealea o ka Iseraela i ka mea nana ia i hana; E hauoli hoi na keiki a Ziona i ko lakou alii.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 E halelu aku lakou i kona inoa ma ka haa ana; E hoolea aku lakou ia ia ma ka pahukani, a me ka lira.

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 No ka mea, ua lealea o Ivhova i kona poe kanaka; E hoonani mai no oia ia lakou i ke ola.

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 E hooho olioli no ka poe haipule maloko o ka nani: E hauoli no lakou ma ko lakou wahi moe.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 Ma ko lakou waha, ka hapai i ke Akua, A ma ko lakou lima hoi, he pahikaua maka lua;

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 E hana me ka hoopai aku i ko na aina e, A me ka paipai aku i na kanaka:

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 E hoopaa i na'lii i na kaula, A me ko lakou kaukaualii, i na kupee hao.

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 E hana aku ia lakou i ka hoopai i palapalaia; Oia ka nani o kona poe haipule a pau. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
