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.
A psalm of Solomon. God, please give the king fairness, and give the king's son the ability to do what's right.
2 E hooponopono oia i kou poe kanaka ma ka pololei. A i kou poe haahaa ma ka pono.
May he rightly judge your people, and may he be fair to the poor.
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 goodness.
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 defend the poor and save their children, may he crush those who oppress them.
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 respect him as long as the sun and the moon shine above, for 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 his reign be like rain falling on new grass, like 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 those who live right prosper under his rule; may there be great prosperity 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, from the river 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.
Desert tribes will kneel before him; and his enemies will bite 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.
The kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring him tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him with 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.
Every king will bow down to him; every nation will 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.
He will help the poor when they cry out to him, and help those who are suffering that have no one to support them.
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 has pity on the poor and needy—he saves their lives!
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 rescues them from violence and oppression, for their lives mean so much to him.
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.
May he live long! May the gold from Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him and 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 plenty of grain in the land, even growing on mountain-tops. May the fruit on the trees sway like the trees of Lebanon. May the people in the city flourish like grass in a 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 fame live forever, may it last as long as the sun. May all nations be blessed through him, and may they praise him.
18 E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua, ko Iseraela Akua, Ka mea nana wale no i hana na mea kupaianaha.
Praise the Lord God, the God of Israel, who is the only one who can do such fantastic things!
19 E hoonani mau loa ia'ku kona inoa ihi, E hoopaapuia ka honua a pau i kona nani; Amene, a Amene.
Praise his wonderful nature forever! May the whole world be full of his glory! Amen and amen!
20 Pau na pule a Davida ke keiki a Iese.
(This is the end of the psalms of David, son of Jesse.)
