Halelu 84
1 NANI wale kou wahi noho ai, e Iehova o na kaua!
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!
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, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for 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.
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, LORD of Armies, 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 your house. They are always praising you. (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 are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
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. Yes, the autumn 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. Every 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)
LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, 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, God our shield, look at the face of your 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 your courts is better than a thousand. I would 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 the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 E Iehova o na kaua, Ua pomaikai ke kanaka hilinai aku ia oe.
LORD of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
