Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

E HALELU aku oukou ia Iehova, E oli aku ia Iehova, i ke mele hou, I kona mau halelu hoi ma ke anaina o ka poe haipule.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

E lealea o ka Iseraela i ka mea nana ia i hana; E hauoli hoi na keiki a Ziona i ko lakou alii.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

E halelu aku lakou i kona inoa ma ka haa ana; E hoolea aku lakou ia ia ma ka pahukani, a me ka lira.

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

No ka mea, ua lealea o Ivhova i kona poe kanaka; E hoonani mai no oia ia lakou i ke ola.

5 Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

E hooho olioli no ka poe haipule maloko o ka nani: E hauoli no lakou ma ko lakou wahi moe.

6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

Ma ko lakou waha, ka hapai i ke Akua, A ma ko lakou lima hoi, he pahikaua maka lua;

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

E hana me ka hoopai aku i ko na aina e, A me ka paipai aku i na kanaka:

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

E hoopaa i na'lii i na kaula, A me ko lakou kaukaualii, i na kupee hao.

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

E hana aku ia lakou i ka hoopai i palapalaia; Oia ka nani o kona poe haipule a pau. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
