Psalms 135
1 Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
E HALELU aku ia Iehova, e halelu aku i ka inoa o Iehova; E halelu aku hoi oukou, e na kauwa a Iehova.
2 You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
Ka poe e ku ana ma ka hale o Iehova, Ma na kahua hoi o ka hale o ko kakou Akua,
3 Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
E halelu aku ia Iehova, no ka mea, ua maikai o Iehova; E hoolea aku i kona inoa, no ka mea, he mea lealea ia.
4 He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
No ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova i ka Iakoba nona, A i ka Iseraela hoi i waiwai nona.
5 I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
No ka mea, ua ike au, he nui o Iehova, A o ko kakou Haku hoi maluna o na akua a pau;
6 Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
O na mea a pau a Iehova i makemake ai, Ua hana oia ma ka lani, a ma ka honua, A ma na moana, a ma na wahi hohonu a pau.
7 He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
Nana no e hoopii ka ohu mai na kihi aku o ka honua; Nana no e hana na uwila no ka ua, A hoopuka mai la oia i ka makani mailoko mai o kona waihona.
8 He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
Nana no i pepehi ka makahiapo o ko Aigupita, Ka ke kanaka, a me ka ka holoholona hoi.
9 There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
Hoouna mai la oia i na hoailona a me na hana mana, Iwaena konu ou, e Aigupita; Imua o Parao, a imua o kana poe kauwa a pau.
10 He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
Pepehi no oia i ko na aina, he nui loa, A luku mai i na'lii he koa loa;
11 Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
Ia Sihona ke alii o ko Amora, ia Oga hoi ke alii o Basana, A me ko na aupuni a pau o Kanaana.
12 Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
A haawi mai la oia i ko lakou aina i hooilina, I hooilina hoi no ka Iseraela no kona poe kanaka.
13 Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
E Iehova, e mau loa ana no kou inoa; E Iehova, e hoomanaoia no oe i na hanauna a pau.
14 Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
No ka mea, e hoapono mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, E minamina mai no oia i kana poe kauwa.
15 But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
O na akua o ko na aina e, he kala, a he gula, O ka hana o ko kanaka lima.
16 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
He waha no ko lakou, aole nae e olelo mai; He mau maka no ko lakou, aole nae e ike mai;
17 They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
He mau pepeiao no hoi ko lakou, aole nae e lohe mai; Aohe hoi ea maloko o ko lakou waha.
18 The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
O ka poe i hana mai ia lakou, ua like kela poe me lakou: A me na mea a pau e hilinai ai ia lakou.
19 [My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
E ka ohana a ka Iseraela, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova; E ka ohana a Aarona, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova;
20 You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
E ka ohana a Levi, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova; E ka poe i makau ia Iehova, e hoomaikai aku oukou ia Iehova.
21 Praise Yahweh in [the temple on] Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem, where he lives! Praise Yahweh!
Mai Ziona mai e hoomaikaiia'i o Iehova, Ka mea e noho la ma Ierusalema. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
