Halelu 72
1 E HAAWI i kou mau kanawai i ke alii, e ke Akua, A i kau pono hoi i ke keiki a ke alii.
Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
2 E hooponopono oia i kou poe kanaka ma ka pololei. A i kou poe haahaa ma ka pono.
May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
3 A e halihali mai no na mauna i ka pomaikai i kanaka, A me na puu liilii hoi, ma ka pono.
May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
4 E hooponopono oia i ka poe kaumaha o na kanaka, E hoola oia i na keiki a ka poe ilihune, E hana pepe i ka mea hooluhihewa.
May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
5 E weliweli mau lakou ia oe i ka wa o ka la, A i ka luli ana o ka mahina, i na hanauna a pau.
May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
6 E iho mai no ia e like me ka ua maluna o ka aina mauu i okiia; Me na kulu ua hoi i hoopulu iho i ka honua.
May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
7 E mohala ae ka poe pono i kona mau la, A me ka pomaikai nui a e ole loa ka mahina.
May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
8 E hoomalu aupuni oia mai ke kai a i ke kai, A mai ka muliwai hoi a i na welelau o ka honua.
May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
9 A imua o kona alo e kulou iho ai ko ka waonahele; A e palu no hoi kona poe enemi i ka lepo.
May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
10 E halihali mai na'lii o Taresisa a o na mokupuni i na makana; A e haawi mai no hoi na'lii o Seheba a me Seba i ko lakou mau haawina.
May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
11 Oia, e moe iho hoi na'lii a pau imua o kona alo; E pau hoi na lahuikanaka i ka malama ia ia.
May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
12 No ka mea, hoopakele no oia i ka mea waiwai ole i kona kahea ana; I ka mea ilihune hoi, a me ka mea nele i ke kokua ole.
For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
13 E hookoe mai no oia i ka mea haahaa, a me ka nele, A e hoola hoi i na uhane o ka poe hemahema.
He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
14 E hoopakele oia i ko lakou uhane i ka wahahee a me ka lalau wale: A he mea minamina ko lakou koko i kona mau maka.
He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
15 E ola no ia, a e haawiia nona ke gula no Seheba: E mau ana no ka pule nona; A e hoomaikai no ia i kela la i keia la.
Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
16 E nui auanei ka palaoa ma ka honua, ma ka piko o na mauna; A e luliluli kona hua e like me Lebanona: A e mohala ae ko ke kulanakauhale me he mauu la o ka honua.
May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
17 E mau ana no hoi kona inoa; E ulu no kona inoa, a e ole loa ka la: A e pomaikai na kanaka ia ia: E pau hoi na lahuikanaka i ke kapa aku ia ia he pomaikai.
May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
18 E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua, ko Iseraela Akua, Ka mea nana wale no i hana na mea kupaianaha.
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 E hoonani mau loa ia'ku kona inoa ihi, E hoopaapuia ka honua a pau i kona nani; Amene, a Amene.
And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
20 Pau na pule a Davida ke keiki a Iese.
Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
