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 sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God — His holy hill.
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 [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.
3 Iloko o kona mau halealii, I ikeia'i ke Akua he puuhonua.
God in her high places is known for a tower.
4 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua akoakoa na'lii, Maalo pu ae la lakou.
For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,
5 Ike iho la lakou a mahalo iho la; I makau lakou, a holo aku la.
They have seen — so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.
6 Loohia lakou e ka makau malaila, A me ka eha e like me ko ka wahine haakokohi.
Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
7 Me ka makani hikina i wawahi ai oe i na moku o Taresisa.
By an east wind Thou shiverest 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 Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her — to the age. (Selah)
9 Ua noonoo makou i kou lokomaikai, e ke Akua, Iwaena konu o kou luakini.
We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy 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] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.
11 E hauoli o mauna Ziona, E olioli pu na kaikamahine a Iuda, No kou hooponopono ana.
Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.
12 E kaahele oukou ia Ziona, E hele poai ia ia a puni; E helu i kona mau halekaua.
Compass Zion, and 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 heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later 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 this God [is] our God — To the age and for ever, He — he doth lead us over death!
