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.

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

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

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; 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 power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of 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.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; 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 gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to 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.

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which 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.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

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.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
