Halelu 147
1 E HALELU aku oukou ia Iehova: No ka mea, he mea maikai ke hoolea aku i ko kakou Akua; No ka mea, he lealea ia, a he mea ku pono ka halelu.
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise ye the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.
2 Kukulu no o Iehova ia Ierusalema; Hoiliili mai no oia i ka poe aea o ka Iseraela.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; and he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Hoomaha mai no oia i ka poe naau haehae, A wahi no hoi oia i ko lakou mau eha.
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 Hoike mai no oia i ka heluna o na hoku; Hea ae no hoi oia ia lakou a pau ma ka inoa.
He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.
5 He nui no ko kakou Haku, a na nui hoi kona ikaika; A he mea hiki ole ke hai aku i kona ike.
Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.
6 Hookiekie no o Iehova i ka poe hoohaahaa; A hoohaahaa no oia i ka poe hewa ilalo i ka lepo.
The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
7 E olioli aku ia Iehova, me ka mililani aku, E hoolea aku i ko kakou Akua ma ka mea kani.
Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
8 Ka Mea i uhi i ka lani i na ao, Ka Mea i hoomakaukau i ka ua no ka honua, Ka Mea i hooulu mai i ka mauu, maluna o na mauna.
who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men; ]]
9 Haawi mai no oia i ka ai na ka holoholona, Na ka poe koraka hoi, na ka mea kahea aku ia ia.
and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 Aole ia e lealea i ka ikaika o ka lio, Aole ia e hauoli hoi i na wawae o ke kanaka.
He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.
11 E lealea no o Iehova i ka poe makau aku ia ia, I ka poe hoi e hoolana ma kona lokomaikai.
The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
12 E hiilani ia Iehova, e Ierusalema, E halelu aku i kou Akua, e Ziona.
Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Sion.
13 No ka mea, hoopaa no oia i na kaola o kou mau pukapa; Hoomaikai no hoi oia i kau mau keiki iloko ou.
For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy children within thee.
14 Haawi mai no oia i ka malu ma kou mau mokuna, A hoomaona mai ia oe i ka palaoa maikai.
He makes thy borders peaceful, and fills thee with the flour of wheat.
15 Hoouna mai oia i kana mau olelo i ka honua, Holo kiki no kana mau olelo.
He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
16 Haawi mai no oia i ka hau, me he hulu hipa la, Hoohelelei mai oia i ka hau paa, e like me ka lehu ahi.
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
17 Hoohelelei mai oia i kona mau huahekili e like me na huna ai: Owai hoi ka mea hiki ke ku imua o kona anuanu?
Casting [forth] his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
18 Hoouna mai oia i kana olelo, a hoohehee ia lakou; Hoohuai mai oia i kona makani, a kahe iho la na wai.
He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.
19 Hoike mai no oia i kana olelo i ka Iakoba, I kana mau olelopaa hoi, a me kana hooponopono ana i ka Iseraela.
He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
20 Aole ia i hana pela i ko na aina e a pau; O kana hooponopono ana, aole lakou i ike mai ia. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
He has not done so to any [other] nation; and he has not shewn them his judgments.
