Halelu 148

1 E HALELU aku oukou ia Iehova, E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova, e na mea mai ka lani mai; E halelu aku ia ia ma na wahi kiekie.

Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

2 E halelu aku ia ia, e kona poe anela a pau; E halelu aku oukou ia ia, e kona mau kaua a pau.

Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 E halelu aku ia ia, o ka la, a me ka mahina; E halelu aku ia ia, e na hoku malamalama a pau.

Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 E halelu aku ia ia, e ka lani o na lani, E oukou hoi, na wai maluna o ka lani.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 E halelu aku lakou ia Iehova; No ka mea, kauoha mai la ia, a hanaia iho la lakou.

Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.

6 Ua hookumu paa mai oia ia lakou, a i ka manawa pau ole: Ua haawi mai oe i ka mokuna, aole lakou hele ae ma ia aoao aku.

And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

7 E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova, mai ka honua ae, E na moonui, a me na wahi hohonu a pau:

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8 Ke ahi, ka huahekili, ka hau, a me ka mahu, Ka makani ino, e hooko ana i kana olelo;

Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

9 Na kuahiwi, me na mauna a pau; Na laau hua, a me na kedera a pau;

Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

10 Na holoholona hihiu, a me na holoholona laka a pau; Na mea kolo, a me na manu lele;

Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

11 Na'lii o ka honua, a me na lahuikanaka a pau; Na kaukaualii, a me na lunakanawai a pau o ka honua;

Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

12 Na kanaka opiopio, a me na kaikamahine; Ka poe kahiko, a me na keiki;

Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

13 E halelu aku lakou i ka inoa o Iehova; No ka mea, o kona inoa wale no ka i hookiekieia: Ua kiekie hoi kona nani maluna o ka honua a me ka lani.

Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.

14 Ua hookiekie oia i ka pepeiaohao o kona poe kanaka, Oia ka nani o kona poe haipule a pau; O na mamo hoi o ka Iseraela, He poe kanaka e noho kokoke ana ia ia. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
