Halelu 84
1 NANI wale kou wahi noho ai, e Iehova o na kaua!
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!
2 Iini ko'u uhane, no na hale o Iehova; Kahea aku no ko'u naau a me ko'u kino i ke Akua, i ke Akua ola.
My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.
3 Ua loaa i ka manu liilii ka hale, A i ka derora hoi, ka punana, Aia ma kou mau kuahu, e Iehova o na kaua, Kahi e waiho ai i kana mau keiki, E kuu alii a me ko'u Akua.
Yea, the sparrow has found her a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Ua pomaikai ka poe e noho la ma kou hale; Ua mau loa no ko lakou halelu ana ia oe. (Sila)
Blessed are those who dwell in thy house. They will still be praising thee. (Selah)
5 Pomaikai ke kanaka i loaa ka ikaika ia oe, A me ka poe i paa na alanui maikai iloko o ko lakou naau.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 Ia lakou e hele ae ma ke kahawai o Baka, Hoolilo lakou ia ia i waipuna; Na ka ua hoi e hoopiha i na punawai.
Passing through the valley of weeping they make it a place of springs. Yea, the early rain covers it with blessings.
7 Hele no lakou, mai kela ikaika, a i keia ikaika aku, E ikeia mai lakou e ke Akua ma Ziona.
They go from strength to strength; each one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 E Iehova ke Akua o na kaua, E hoolohe mai oe i ka'u pule; E haliu mai kou pepeiao, e ke Akua o Iakoba. (Sila)
O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer. Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 E ke Akua, e nana oe i ko makou palekaua, E ike hoi i ka maka o ka Mea au i poni ai.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 No ka mea, ua oi aku ka maikai o ka la hookahi ma kou hale mamua o ka tausani. Ua oi aku ko'u makemake i ke kiai puka ma ka hale o ko'u Akua, Mamua o ka noho ana ma na halelewa o ka poe hewa.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 No ka mea, o Iehova, ke Akua, he la no ia, a he palekaua; E haawi mai no o Iehova i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hanohano; Aole ia e aua i kekahi mea maikai i ka poe hele ma ka pololei.
For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.
12 E Iehova o na kaua, Ua pomaikai ke kanaka hilinai aku ia oe.
O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee.
