Halelu 1

1 POMAIKAI ke kanaka i hele ole ma ke aoia o ka poe aia. I ku ole hoi ma ka aoao o ka poe hewa, I noho ole hoi ma ka noho o ka poe haakei.

Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

2 Aka, ma ke kanawai o Iehova kona olioli; A ma kona kanawai oia i manao ai i ke ao a me ka po.

But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.

3 E like no ia me ka laau i kanuia ma na kahawai, I hoohua mai i kona hua i kona manawa; A o kona lau hoi aole e mae; A o kona mea e hana'i e pono ana no ia.

And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

4 Aole hoi e like me neia ka poe aia; Aka, ua like ia me ka opala i puehu i ka makani.

Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

5 Nolaila, aole e ku ana ka poe aia ma ka hookolokolo ana, Aole hoi ka poe hewa iloko o ka ka poe pono anaina.

Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.

6 No ka mea, ua ike mai la o Iehova i ka aoao o ka poe maikai; Aka hoi, o ka aoao o ka poe hewa, e make ana no ia.

For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
