Halelu 2
1 NO ke aha la e kupikipikio ai ko ka aina e? A e noonoo ai ka poe kanaka i ka mea lapuwale?
Wherefore do nations rage, and people meditate a vain thing?
2 Ua ku e aku na'lii o ka honua, Ua ohumu pu aku no hoi na luna, Ia Iehova, a i kona Mea i poniia,
The kings of the earth raise themselves up, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed:
3 E moku aku kakou i ka laua mau mea paa, A e hoolei aku hoi mai o kakou aku nei i ka laua mau kaula.
“Let us break asunder their bands, and cast away from us their cords.”
4 O ka Mea e noho ana ma ka lani, e aka mai no ia: A e hoomahua mai no hoi o ka Haku ia lakou.
He who dwelleth in the heavens will laugh: the Lord will hold them in derision.
5 Alaila e olelo mai oia ia lakou i kona inaina, A e hoomakaua mai hoi ia lakou i kona huhu nui.
Then will he speak unto them in his anger, and in his displeasure will he terrify them.
6 Ua poni ae nei au i ka'u Alii maluna o Ziona, Maluna iho o ko'u mauna hoano.
[Saying, ] Yet have I appointed my king upon Zion my holy mount.
7 E hai aku au i ke kauoha: Ua olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, O oe no ka'u Keiki; I keia la no, ua hoohanau aku wau ia oe.
I will announce the decree, the Lord hath said unto me, “My son art thou: I have indeed this day begotten thee.
8 E noi mai oe ia'u, a e haawi aku au ia oe I na lahuikanaka i hooilina nou, A i waiwai hoi nou na welelau o ka honua.
Ask it of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the uttermost ends of the earth.
9 E uhai oe ia lakou me ke kookoo hao: E ulupa hoi oe ia lakou me he ipulepo la.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; like a potter's vessel shalt thou dash them in pieces.”
10 No ia hoi, e hoonaauao oukou, e na alii; E aoia'ku no hoi oukou, e na lunakanawai o ka honua.
And now, O ye kings, be wise: take warning, ye judges of the earth.
11 E malama ia Iehova me ka weliweli, E hauoli hoi oukou me ka haalulu.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 E honi aku i ke Keiki, o huhu mai ia, O make hoi oukou ia aoao, ke hoa iki ia mai kona inaina. Pomaikai wale ka poe a pau i hilinai aku ia ia.
Do homage to the son, lest he be angry, and ye be lost on the way; for his wrath is so speedily kindled. Happy are all they that put their trust in him.
