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.
To the Chief Musician. On Shoshannim. For the Sons of Korah. A Psalm of Instruction. A Song of Love. Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, [like] the pen of a scribe who is skilled.
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.
Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age-abiding.
3 E kaei oe i kau pahikaua ma kou uha, e ka Mea mana, Me kou nani a me kou hanohano.
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, [’Tis] thine honour and thy majesty;
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
And, [in] thy majesty, be successful! ride forth! on behalf of faithfulness, and humility—righteousness, And let thine own right hand show thee wonderful 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—Peoples, under thee, fall! In the heart of the foes of the king.
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, O God, is to times age-abiding and beyond, A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
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 hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, —For this cause, hath God, thine own God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, beyond thy partners.
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.
Myrrh and aloes, cassias, all thy garments, —Out of the palaces of ivory, the tones of strings, have rejoiced 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 thine honourable women, Stationed is the bride at thy right hand, 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;
Hearken, O daughter, and observe, Incline also thine ear, Forget, then, thine own people, And the house of thy father;
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.
When the king shall desire thy beauty, Surely, he, is thy lord, then bow down to 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.
Also, the daughter of Tyre, [cometh in] with a present! Thy face, shall the rich of the people appease.
13 He nani loa maloko ke kaikamahine a ke alii; O kona kapa he gula i ulanaia no ia.
All glorious—the daughter of a king [sitteth] within, Brocades, wrought with gold, [are] her clothing!
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 embroidered raiment, shall she be brought unto the king—The virgins that follow her, her companions, are to be conducted 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:
They shall be brought, with rejoicings and exultation, —They shall enter into the palace of the king!
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, be thy sons, Thou shalt make them rulers in all the earth.
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 keep in remembrance thy Name, through each succeeding generation, For this cause, peoples, shall praise thee, to times age-abiding and beyond.
