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?
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine 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 set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
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 their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
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 that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have 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 shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his sore displeasure.
6 Ua poni ae nei au i ka'u Alii maluna o Ziona, Maluna iho o ko'u mauna hoano.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
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 declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I 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 of me, and I will give [thee] the heathen [for] thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.
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; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 No ia hoi, e hoonaauao oukou, e na alii; E aoia'ku no hoi oukou, e na lunakanawai o ka honua.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, 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.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him.
