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. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
2 E hooponopono oia i kou poe kanaka ma ka pololei. A i kou poe haahaa ma ka pono.
That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
3 A e halihali mai no na mauna i ka pomaikai i kanaka, A me na puu liilii hoi, ma ka pono.
Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through 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 judge the poor of the people, and 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.
They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout 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 come down like rain upon the mown grass, as 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.
In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be 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 have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto 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.
Let them that dwell in the wilderness 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.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall 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.
Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall 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 when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath 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 have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
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 their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be 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.
That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
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 he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
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 for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
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 only doeth wondrous things;
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 for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
20 Pau na pule a Davida ke keiki a Iese.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
