Halelu 84
1 NANI wale kou wahi noho ai, e Iehova o na kaua!
For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. On the gittith. How wonderful is the place where you live, Lord Almighty!
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.
I long, I ache, to be in the courts of the Lord. My mind and my body sing for joy 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.
Even a sparrow finds a home there, and a swallow builds a nest for herself where she can raise her chicks near to your altars, Lord Almighty, 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)
How happy are those who live 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.
How happy are those whose strength is in you, those who are determined to make 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.
As they walk through the Valley of Tears it becomes a spring of water; autumn rains cover it with pools.
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, and each one will appear before God in Jerusalem.
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 Almighty, please hear my prayer; please 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.
Please God, look at our defender, look at the face of your anointed one.
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.
One day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather stand as a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live comfortably in the homes of the wicked.
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 our sun and shield, and he gives us grace and honor. The Lord doesn't hold back anything good from those who do right.
12 E Iehova o na kaua, Ua pomaikai ke kanaka hilinai aku ia oe.
Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you.
