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 ye the LORD! Sing unto 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 him that made him; Let the sons 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 praise him with the timbrel 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 taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed 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 godly-rejoice in their 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;

Let the praises of God be in their mouth, 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 upon the nations, And punishment upon 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 upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
