Halelu 45
1 KE hoohu mai nei ko'u naau i ke mele maikai; Ke hai aku nei au i na mea a'u i hana'i no ke Alii; O ko'u alelo ka peni a me ka mea kakau wikiwiki.
“For the leader of the music. To be accompanied with the Shoshannim. A song of loveliness by the sons of Korah.” My heart is overflowing with a good matter; I will address my work to the king: May my tongue be like the pen of a ready writer!
2 Ua oi kou nani mamua o na keiki a kanaka: Ua nininiia ka maikai iloko o kou mau lehelehe; Nolaila, ua hoomaikai mau loa ke Akua ia oe.
Thou art the fairest of the sons of men; Grace is poured upon thy lips; For God hath blessed thee for ever!
3 E kaei oe i kau pahikaua ma kou uha, e ka Mea mana, Me kou nani a me kou hanohano.
Gird thy sword to thy thigh, thou hero!-Thy glory and ornament!
4 A iloko o kou hanohano e holokaa pomaikai ai, No ka oiaio a me ke akahai, a me ka pono; A a ao iho kou lima akau ia oe i na mea weliweli
In thy glorious array ride forth victoriously, On account of truth and mildness and justice; And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things!
5 Ua oi aku kou mau pua iloko o ka naau o ko ke alii poe enemi; Hina iho na kanaka malalo iho ou.
Thine arrows are sharp; Nations shall fall before thee; They shall pierce the hearts of the king's enemies.
6 O kou nohoalii, e ke Akua, e mau loa ana no ia: O ka hoailonamoi o kou aupuni. he hoailonamoi pono no ia.
Thy throne is God's for ever and ever; The sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of equity!
7 Makemake no oe i ka pono, A hoowahawaha no oe i ka hewa: Nolaila ke Akua, kou Akua i poni ai ia oe, Ma ka aila olioli maluna o kou mau hoa.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest iniquity; Therefore hath God, thy God, anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows!
8 Ke aala pu mai nei kou mau kapa a pau i ka mura, a me ka aloe, a me ke kasia; Noloko mai o na halealii nihoelepani i hoohauoli ai lakou ia oe.
All thy garments are myrrh, aloes, and cassia; From ivory palaces stringed instruments delight thee.
9 O na kaikamahine a na'lii kekahi iwaena o kou mau wahine hanohano; Ma kou lima akau i ku mai ai ke alii wahine me ke gula noopira.
Daughters of kings are among thy chosen women; On the right hand stands the queen In gold of Ophir.
10 E hoolohe mai, e ke kaikamahine, a e hoomanao, A e haliu mai i kou pepeiao; E hoopoina hoi i kou poe kanaka, a me ka hale o kou makuakane;
Listen, O daughter! consider, and incline thine ear; Forget thy people and thy father's house!
11 Pela hoi, e makemake nui ai ke alii i kou nani: No ka mea, oia kou Haku; E hoomana aku hoi oe ia ia.
For the king is captivated with thy beauty; He is now thy lord; honor thou him!
12 O ke kaikamahine o Turo me ka makana; A o ka poe waiwai o na kanaka e imi i ka hooluolu ia oe.
So shall the daughter of Tyre seek thy favor with gifts, The rich among the people.
13 He nani loa maloko ke kaikamahine a ke alii; O kona kapa he gula i ulanaia no ia.
All glorious is the king's daughter in her apartment; Her robe is embroidered with gold.
14 E laweia mai oia i ke alii iloko o na kapa hoonionioia; O na kaikamahine kona mau hoanoho, e hahai ana mamuli ona, E lawe pu ia mai lakou ia oe.
In variegated garments shall she be led to the king; The virgin companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 Me ka olioli, a me ka hauoli ana e laweia mai lakou: E komo no hoi lakou iloko o ko ke alii halealii:
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; They shall enter the king's palace.
16 Ma ka hakahaka o kou mau makua, malaila auanei kau mau keiki, Au e hoolilo ai i alii ma ka honua a pau.
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes through all the land.
17 E hoomaikai mau aku au i kou inoa i na hanauna a pau; Nolaila e hoolea na kanaka ia oe a mau loa.
I will make thy name memorable throughout all generations; So shall the nations praise thee for ever and ever!
