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.

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

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 him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful 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 in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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 is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

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

The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

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

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

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

To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles 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 upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
