Halelu 85

1 U A lokomaikai mai oe, e Iehova, i kou aina; Ua hoihoi mai oe i ke pio ana o ka Iakoba.

For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Yahweh, you have showed favor to your land; you have restored the well-being of Jacob.

2 Ua kala mai oe i ka hewa o kou poe kanaka, Ua uhi mai oe i ko lakou hala a pau. (Sila)

You have forgiven the sin of your people; you have covered all their sin. (Selah)

3 Ua lawe aku oe i kou inaina a pau, Ua huli aku no hoi oe, mai ka wela o kou huhu aku.

You have withdrawn all your wrath; you have turned back from your hot anger.

4 E hoohuli mai oe ia makou, e ke Akua o ko makou ola, A e hooki hoi oe i kou huhu mai ia makou.

Restore us, God of our salvation, and let go of your displeasure with us.

5 E huhu mau loa mai anei oe ia makou? E hooloihi aku anei oe i kou huhu ia hanauna aku, ia hanauna aku?

Will you be angry with us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations?

6 Aole anei oe e hoihoi mai i ko makou ola ana? I hauoli ai kou poe kanaka ia oe.

Will you not revive us again? Then your people will rejoice in you.

7 E hoike mai oe, e Iehova, i kou lokomaikai ia makou, A e haawi mai hoi kou hoola ana na makou.

Show us your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, grant us your salvation.

8 E hoolohe aku no au i ka mea a ke Akua a Iehova e olelo mai ai; No ka mea, e hai mai no oia i ka malu no kona poe kanaka, a me kona poe haipule: Mai hoi hou nae lakou i ka mea lapuwale.

I will listen to what Yahweh God says, for he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not turn again to foolish ways.

9 Oiaio, ua kokoke mai no kona hoola ana i ka poe makau aku ia ia; I noho ka hanohano ma ko kakou aina.

Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him; then glory will remain in our land.

10 Ua halawai pu ke aloha me ka oiaio; Ua honi pu no hoi ka pono me ka maluhia.

Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 E ulu mai no ka oiaio mailoko mai o ka honua, A mai ka lani mai hoi e nana mai ai ka pono.

Trustworthiness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12 E haawi mai no o Iehova i ka maikai; A e haawi mai no hoi ko kakou aina i kona hua iho.

Yes, Yahweh will give his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops.

13 E hele ae no ka pono imua o kona alo; A e alakai hoi oia ia kakou ma ke ala o kona mau kapuwai.

Righteousness will go before him and make a way for his footsteps.
