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 is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let 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, he is high over all the nations.

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

Let them praise your great and terrible name. 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.

You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for 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 the Lord our God, bow down 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.

Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

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 them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute 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 gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

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; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.
