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 reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

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

The LORD 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 name as great and awful; 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 strength also of the king who loveth justice — Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed 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 the LORD our God, and prostrate yourselves 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 them that call upon His name, did call upon the LORD, 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.

O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

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 the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
