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 reigns; let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

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

The Lord rules supreme in Zion, he is sovereign over all the nations.

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

Let them praise his greatness, and respect him for who he is—for he 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.

having kingly power. You love justice; you make impartial decisions. You have made sure everything is done in fairness and according to what's right.

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 respect to the Lord our God! Bow down at his feet, for 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 were among his priests; Samuel also prayed to him. They called out to the Lord for help, 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 the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees 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.

Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they did wrong.

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.

Honor the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy!
