Halelu 99

1 KE noho alii nei o Iehova, e haalulu mai na kanaka; ke noho nei oia iwaena o na kerubima, e naueue ka honua.

Jehovah reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits above the cherubim, let the earth be moved.

2 He nui o Iehova ma Ziona; Ua kiekie hoi oia maluna o na kanaka a pau.

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

3 E hiilani lakou i kou inoa nui e weliweli ai, No ka mea, ua hemolele ia.

Let them praise thy great and awesome name. Holy is he.

4 Ua makemake no hoi ka ikaika o ko alii i ka hooponopono; Ua hookumupaa oe i ka pono, Ua hana mai no oe ma ka hoopono, a ma ka pololei maloko o ka Iakoba.

The king's strength also loves justice. Thou establish equity. Thou execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 E hapai oukou ia Iehova i ko kakou Akua, A e kulou hoomana ma kona keehana wawae; No ka mea, ua hoano oia.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. Holy is he.

6 O Mose, a me Aarona, iwnena o na kahuna pule, A o Samuela hoi iwaena o ka poe i hea aku i kona inoa; Kahea aku lakou ia Iehova, a ae mai oia i ka lakou.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 Olelo mai la oia ia lakou ma ke kia ao; A malama aku la lakou i kana mau kauoha, A me ka olelopaa ana i haawi mai ai ia lakou.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 E Iehova, ko makou Akua, pane mai no oe ia lakou; O oe no ke Akua nana i kala i ko lakou hala, Hoopai mai no nae i ka lakou mau hana.

Thou answered them, O Jehovah our God. Thou were a God who forgave them, though thou took vengeance on their doings.

9 E hapai oukou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, A e hoomana aku hoi ma kona mauna hoano; No ka mea, he hoano o Iehova, ko kakou Akua.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his holy hill. For Jehovah our God is holy.
