Halelu 48
1 HE nui no Iehova, e hoomaikai nui ia'ku, Iloko o ke kulanakauhale o ko kakou Akua i kona mauna hoano.
A song. A psalm of the Korahites. Great is the Lord and worthy all praise in the city of our God. His holy mountain,
2 He nani no ke kiekie ana, he mea olioli no ka honua a pau, O Mauna Ziona ma na aoao kukuluakau, ke kulanakauhale o ke Alii nui.
that rises so fair, is the joy of all the world. Like the mount of the gods is Mount Zion, the city of the great king.
3 Iloko o kona mau halealii, I ikeia'i ke Akua he puuhonua.
Once God made himself known as the defence of her palaces.
4 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua akoakoa na'lii, Maalo pu ae la lakou.
For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together.
5 Ike iho la lakou a mahalo iho la; I makau lakou, a holo aku la.
But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay.
6 Loohia lakou e ka makau malaila, A me ka eha e like me ko ka wahine haakokohi.
Trembling took hold of them there, like the pains of a woman in labour.
7 Me ka makani hikina i wawahi ai oe i na moku o Taresisa.
They were shattered, as east wind shatters the giant ships in pieces.
8 E like me ko kakou lohe, pela kakou i ike ai, Ma ke kulanakauhale o Iehova Sabaota, Ma ke kulanakauhale o ko kakou Akua: E hoonoho paa loa ke Akua ia ia a mau loa. (Sila)
What we heard, we now have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, the city of our God. God will uphold her forever. (Selah)
9 Ua noonoo makou i kou lokomaikai, e ke Akua, Iwaena konu o kou luakini.
We think, O God, of your love, in the midst of your temple.
10 E like me kou inoa, e ke Akua, Pela ka hoolea nou a hiki i na welelau o ka honua; Ua piha kou lima akau i ka pono.
Your fame, O God, like your name, shall extend to the ends of the earth. Victory fills your hand.
11 E hauoli o mauna Ziona, E olioli pu na kaikamahine a Iuda, No kou hooponopono ana.
Let mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
12 E kaahele oukou ia Ziona, E hele poai ia ia a puni; E helu i kona mau halekaua.
Walk about Zion, go round her; count her towers.
13 E hoomaopopo ko oukou naau i kona mau pakaua; E noonoo hoi i kona mau halealii, I hiki ia oukou ke hai aku i ka hanauna mahope aku.
Set your mind on her ramparts, consider her palaces; that you tell to the next generation
14 No ka mea, o ke Akua nei oia ko kakou Akua i ke ao pau ole; He alakai auanei ia no kakou a i ka make.
That such is God, our God he it is who shall guide us for ever and ever.
