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 plot in vain?

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 take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

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 chains and cast away Their cords.”

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.

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.

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

Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

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

“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”

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 proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

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 Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

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

You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”

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

Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

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

Serve the LORD 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 you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
