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.

Praise JAH. Sing to YHWH a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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 who made them. Let the people of Zion 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 the dance. Let them sing praises 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 YHWH takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble 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 faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on 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 two-edged sword in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments 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 fetters 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 on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise JAH.
