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 a vain thing?
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 the LORD, 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’s break their bonds apart, and cast 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 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.
“Yet I have set my King on 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: The LORD 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 for your inheritance, the uttermost 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 break them with a rod of iron. 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 be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you 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.
Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
