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; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

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 exalted above all the people.

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

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

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 to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed 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 bow yourselves down before 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 were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on 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.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto 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: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong 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 the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
