Halelu 95
1 I NA kakou, e kahea olioli aku ia Iehova; A e hooho hauoli hoi i ka pohaku o ko kakou hoola.
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 E hele kakou imua o kona alo me ka hoalohaloha aku, E kahea olioli aku kakou ia ia ma na himeni.
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 No ka mea, he Akua nui o Iehova, He alii nui hoi maluna o na'kua a pau.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 Aia ma kona lima na wahi hohonu o ka honua; Nana hoi na waiwai o na kuahiwi.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Nana no ka moana, a nana ia i hana; A na kona lima hoi i hooponopono i ka aina maloo.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 E hele mai kakou, e kulou hoomana, a e moe hoi; A e kukuli iho imua o Iehova nana kakou i hana.
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 No ka mea, oia no ko kakou Akua, A o kakou na kanaka ana i hanai ai, A me na hipa hoi o kona lima; i keia la, Ke hoolohe oukou i kona leo,
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 Mai hoopaakiki i ko oukou naau, me ia ka hoonaukiuki ana, I ka la i hoaoia'i ma ka waonahele;
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 I ka wa i hoao mai ai ko oukou kupuna ia'u, A hoao mai hoi ia'u, a ike iho la i Ka'u hana.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Hookahi kanaha makahiki o ia hanauna i hoehaeha mai ai ia'u, A i iho la au, he poe kanaka keia i lalau ma ka naau, Aole hoi lakou i ike i ko'u mau aoao.
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Nolaila hoohiki iho la au i ko'u huhu, Aole lakou e komo iloko o ko'u wahi e hoomaha'i.
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
