Halelu 66
1 E HOOKANI olioli i ke Akua, e na aina a pau:
“To the chief musician, a song or psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God, all ye lands:
2 E himeni aku i ka nani o kona inoa: E hoolilo i ka hoolea nona i mea nani.
Sing forth the glory of his name; make glorious his praise.
3 E olelo aku i ke Akua, Nani kou kupaianaha i kau hana aua! No ka nui o kou mana e hoolohe ai kou mau enemi ia oe.
Say unto God, How fear-inspiring is every one of thy works! through the greatness of thy strength will thy enemies yield feigned obedience unto thee.
4 E pau ka honua i ka hoomana aku ia oe, me ke mele aku ia oe; E himeni aku lakou i kou inoa. (Sila)
All the lands shall bow themselves down unto thee, and shall sing praises unto thee; they shall sing praises to thy name. (Selah)
5 E hele mai oukou e ike i na hana a ke Akua; He kupaianaha ia i kana hana ana no na keiki a kanaka.
Come and see the deeds of God: fear-inspiring is his doing toward the children of men.
6 Hoolilo mai la oia i ke kai i aina maloo: Hele wawae ae la lakou iwaena o ka muliwai: Malaila kakou i hauoli aku ai ia ia.
He changed the sea into dry land: through the river they went on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 Ma kona mana ua hoomalu mau loa oia; Ke nana mai nei kona mau maka i na lahuikanaka: Aole e hookiekie ae ka poe kipikipi. (Sila)
He ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes look upon the nations: the rebellious—these shall not be exalted. (Selah)
8 E hoomaikai i ko kakou Akua, e na kanaka, E hooloheia'ku ka leo o ka hoolea nona:
Bless, O ye people, our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Ka mea i hoomau i ko kakou uhane ma ke ola nei; Aole i kuu mai e kapeke ko kakou mau wawae.
Who hath appointed our soul to life, and hath not suffered our foot to slip.
10 No ka mea, ua hoao mai oe, e ke Akua, ia makou; Ua hoao mai oe ia makou me he kala la i hoaoia.
For thou hast proved us, O God: thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
11 Ua hookomo oe ia makou i ka upena; Ua waiho mai oe i ka mea kaumaha ma ko makou mau puhaka.
Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast placed fetters upon our loins.
12 Ua haawi mai oe, e hooholo na kanaka maluna o ko makou mau poo: Hele ae la makou iwaena o ke ahi a me ka wai: Aka, ua lawe mai oe ia makou ma kahi waiwai.
Thou hast caused men to ride on our head: we entered into fire and into water; but thou broughtest us out to [the enjoyment] of overflowing plenty. a
13 E hele au iloko o kou hale me na mohaikuni: E hooko aku au nou i ka'u mau mea i hoohiki aku ai,
I will enter thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay unto thee my vows,
14 Ka mea a ko'u mau lehelehe i hoopuka aku ai; A me ko'u waha i olelo ai i kuu popilikia ana.
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
15 E kaumaha aku au nou i na mohaikuni momona, Me ka mea ala o na hipa kane; E alana aku au i na bipi me na kao. (Sila)
Burnt-offerings of fatlings will I offer up unto thee, with the incense of rams; I will prepare steers with he-goats. (Selah)
16 E hele mai e hoolohe, e ka poe a pau i weliweli i ke Akua, A e hai aku au i ka mea ana i hana mai ai no kuu uhane.
Come, hear, and I will relate, all ye that fear God, what he hath done for my soul.
17 Ua kahea aku au ia ia me kuu waha, A ua hapaiia'ku hoi ia e ko'u alelo.
Unto him I cried with my mouth, and a song of extolling was on my tongue.
18 Ina malama au i ka hewa ma ko'u naau, Aole e hoolohe mai ka Haku ia'u:
If I had looked on wickedness with my heart, the Lord would not have heard;
19 Aka, ua hoolohe io mai no ke Akua; Ua maliu mai i ka leo o ka'u pule.
But verily God hath heard; he hath listened to the voice of my prayer.
20 E hoomaikaiia'ku ke Akua, Ka mea i hookapae ole i ka'u pule, A me kona aloha, mai o'u aku nei.
Blessed be God, who hath not removed my prayer [from him], nor his kindness from me.
