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 by the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in 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.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
3 Iloko o kona mau halealii, I ikeia'i ke Akua he puuhonua.
God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua akoakoa na'lii, Maalo pu ae la lakou.
For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 Ike iho la lakou a mahalo iho la; I makau lakou, a holo aku la.
They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Loohia lakou e ka makau malaila, A me ka eha e like me ko ka wahine haakokohi.
Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Me ka makani hikina i wawahi ai oe i na moku o Taresisa.
With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
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)
As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
9 Ua noonoo makou i kou lokomaikai, e ke Akua, Iwaena konu o kou luakini.
We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle 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.
As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
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 judgements.
12 E kaahele oukou ia Ziona, E hele poai ia ia a puni; E helu i kona mau halekaua.
Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its 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.
Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it 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.
For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
