Halelu 116

1 KE aloha aku nei au ia Iehova, No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai oia i ka leo o ko'u nonoi ana.

It is lovely to me that the Lord heareth my voice, my supplications.

2 No ka mea hoi, ua haliu mai kona pepeiao ia'u, Nolaila, e kahea aku au ia ia i ko'u mau la.

For he hath inclined his ear unto me: therefore throughout all my days will I call on him.

3 Hoopuni mai na hei o ka make ia'u, A loaa ia'u ka pilikia o ka malu o ka make, A loaa no hoi ia'u ka popilikia, a me ka ehaeha. (Sheol h7585)

The bands of death had compassed me, and the pangs of the nether world had overtaken me; I had met with distress and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)

4 Alaila, kahea aku la au i ka inoa o Iehova; Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, E hoopakele mai oe i ko'u uhane.

I then called on the name of the Lord, I beseech thee, O Lord, release my soul.

5 He aloha ko Iehova, a he pono no; Ua lokomaikai no hoi ko kakou Akua.

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; and our God is merciful.

6 Ke malama mai nei o Iehova i ka mea oluolu: Maule no wau, a nana no i hoola mai ia'u.

The Lord preserveth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me.

7 E kuu uhane, e hoi oe i kou wahi e hoomaha'i, No ka mea, hana maikai mai o Iehova ia oe.

Return, O my soul, unto thy rest; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 No ka mea, ua hoopakele mai oe i ko'u uhane i ka make, A me ko'u mau maka, i ka waimaka, A me ko'u mau wawae, i ka hina ana.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

9 E holoholo no wau imua o Iehova, Ma ka honua, kahi o ka poe ola.

I will walk before the Lord in the land of life.

10 Manaoio no wau, nolaila au i olelo aku ai; Pilikia loa no nae au;

I believe, therefore will I speak: I was greatly afflicted;

11 I ko'u pioloke ana, olelo ae la au, He poe wahahee na kanaka a pau.

I indeed said in my despondency, Every man is a liar.

12 Heaha ka'u e haawi aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, No kou lokomaikai mai a pau ia'u?

What shall I give in return unto the Lord for all his bounties toward me?

13 E hapai no wau i ke kiaha o ke ola, A e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.

The cup of salvation will I lift up, and on the name of the Lord will I call.

14 E haawi no wau ia Iehova i ko'u mea i hoohiki ai, Imua o kona poe kanaka a pau.

My vows will I pay unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all his people.

15 He mea minamina ia imua o Iehova, Ka make ana o kona poe haipule.

Grievous in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his pious ones.

16 Aia hoi, e Iehova, owau no kau kauwa, O kau kauwa no wan, a o ke keiki hoi a kau kauwa wahine; Ua wehe mai oe i ko'u mau mea i paa ai.

O Lord, truly am I thy servant, I am thy servant, —the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosened my fetters.

17 E kaunmaha aku au ia oe i ka mohai mililani, A e kahea aku hoi i ka inoa o Iehova.

Unto thee will I offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and on the name of the Lord will I call.

18 E haawi no wau ia Iehova i ko'u mea i hoohiki ai, Imua o kona poe kanaka a pau,

My vows will I pay unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all his people,

19 Ma na kahua o ka hale o Iehova, Mawaena konu ou, e Ierusalema. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.

In the courts of the house of the Lord, in thy midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
