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 reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between 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.

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

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.

And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment 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 Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

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 them that call upon his name: they called unto 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 unto 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.

Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of 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 Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
