Halelu 87

1 A IA no kona mau kumu ma na mauna hoano.

For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

2 Ua oi aku ka makemake o Iehova i na pukapa o Ziona, Mamua o na wahi noho ai a pau o ka Iakoba.

Yahweh loveth the gates of Zion, More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Ua oleloia mai na mea nani nou, E ke kulanakauhale o ke Akua (Sila)

Glorious things, are to be spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 I ka poe ike mai ia'u, e kamailio aku au no Rahaba, a me Babulona: Aia o Pilisetia, a me Turo, a me Aitiopa, Oia ka i hanauia malaila.

I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

5 E oleloia mai no hoi no Ziona, Ua hanauia kela kanaka keia kanaka maloko ona; A na ka Mea kiekie e hookumu paa ia wahi.

But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

6 Ia Iehova e kakau ai i na kanaka, E hoike mai no oia, Ua hanauia oia nei malaila. (Sila)

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

7 O ka poe mele, a me ka poe hookiokio, Aia la iloko ou, kou mau punawai a pau.

As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!
