Halelu 47

1 E PAIPAI i ko oukou mau lima, e na lahuikanaka a pau; E hooho i ke Akua me ka leo olioli.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

2 No ka mea, he mea e weliweli ai o Iehova ka mea kiekie loa: He Alii nui ia maluna o ka honua a pau.

For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.

3 E hoohaahaa iho oia i ka poe kanaka malalo iho o kakou, A me na lahuikanaka malalo iho o ko kakou mau kapuwai.

He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

4 E koho mai no hoi oia i hooilina no kakou, I ka nani o Iakoba ana i aloha mai ai. (Sila)

He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

5 Ua pii ae nei ke Akua me ka hooho, O Iehova me ke kani ana o ka pu.

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

6 E hoolea aku i ke Akua, e hoolea oukou: E hoolea aku i ko kakou Alii, e hoolea oukou.

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our king, sing praises!

7 No ka mea, o ke Akua ke Alii o ka honua a pau; E hoolea aku oukou me ka naauao.

For God is king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!

8 E alii ana no hoi ke Akua maluna o na lahuikanaka; Ke nobo mai la ke Akua maluna o kona nohoalii hoano.

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

9 Ua akoakoa na'lii o na kanaka, O na kanaka o ke Akua no Aberahama; No ke Akua na palekaua o ka honua; Ua hapai nui ia'ku no hoi ia.

The princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
