Halelu 2

1 NO ke aha la e kupikipikio ai ko ka aina e? A e noonoo ai ka poe kanaka i ka mea lapuwale?

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

2 Ua ku e aku na'lii o ka honua, Ua ohumu pu aku no hoi na luna, Ia Iehova, a i kona Mea i poniia,

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,

3 E moku aku kakou i ka laua mau mea paa, A e hoolei aku hoi mai o kakou aku nei i ka laua mau kaula.

Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us.

4 O ka Mea e noho ana ma ka lani, e aka mai no ia: A e hoomahua mai no hoi o ka Haku ia lakou.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

5 Alaila e olelo mai oia ia lakou i kona inaina, A e hoomakaua mai hoi ia lakou i kona huhu nui.

Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his great displeasure.

6 Ua poni ae nei au i ka'u Alii maluna o Ziona, Maluna iho o ko'u mauna hoano.

Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 E hai aku au i ke kauoha: Ua olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, O oe no ka'u Keiki; I keia la no, ua hoohanau aku wau ia oe.

I will tell of the decree. Jehovah said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee.

8 E noi mai oe ia'u, a e haawi aku au ia oe I na lahuikanaka i hooilina nou, A i waiwai hoi nou na welelau o ka honua.

Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 E uhai oe ia lakou me ke kookoo hao: E ulupa hoi oe ia lakou me he ipulepo la.

Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 No ia hoi, e hoonaauao oukou, e na alii; E aoia'ku no hoi oukou, e na lunakanawai o ka honua.

Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 E malama ia Iehova me ka weliweli, E hauoli hoi oukou me ka haalulu.

Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 E honi aku i ke Keiki, o huhu mai ia, O make hoi oukou ia aoao, ke hoa iki ia mai kona inaina. Pomaikai wale ka poe a pau i hilinai aku ia ia.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
