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 a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his Anointed:
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's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes 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.
The one who sits in the heavens laughs. YHWH scoffs at 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 will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
6 Ua poni ae nei au i ka'u Alii maluna o Ziona, Maluna iho o ko'u mauna hoano.
"But I myself have installed my king on Zion, 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 tell of the decree. YHWH said to me, "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 of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the farthest parts of the earth for your possession.
9 E uhai oe ia lakou me ke kookoo hao: E ulupa hoi oe ia lakou me he ipulepo la.
You shall rule them with an iron scepter. You 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, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the earth.
11 E malama ia Iehova me ka weliweli, E hauoli hoi oukou me ka haalulu.
Serve YHWH 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.
Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
