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.
Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!
2 He nui o Iehova ma Ziona; Ua kiekie hoi oia maluna o na kanaka a pau.
Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
3 E hiilani lakou i kou inoa nui e weliweli ai, No ka mea, ua hemolele ia.
[So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and 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.
He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
5 E hapai oukou ia Iehova i ko kakou Akua, A e kulou hoomana ma kona keehana wawae; No ka mea, ua hoano oia.
Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. 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 two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], 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 Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to 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.
Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are 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.
Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
