Hawaiian translation wanted

Could one of my Hawaiian readers please translate for me the lyrics to Israel "IZ" Kamakawino'ole' "Ke Alo O Iesu:"

E hele makou i ke alo o Iesu
E `ike i ka nani mau loa
E hele makou i ka poli o Iesu
I ka mehana a ke aloha
E hele makou i ke alo o Iesu
E `ike i ka nani mau loa
E hele makou i ka poli o Iesu
I ka mehana a ke aloha

Aloha ka hale kula o ka Haku
I ka lani, i ka lani kuakaha
I laila i ke ao
O ka hoku `imo`imo
O Iesu tu`u Hatu maita`i

Aloha ka `âina o ke Akua
I ka nani, i ka nani mau loa
I laila i ke ala
Onaona o ka rose
O Iesu tu`u Hatu maita`i
I cannot seem to find a good online translator from Hawaiian. Mahalo!

    Chorus:
    Let us go to the presence of Jesus,
    To see everlasting beauty,
    Let us go to the bosom of Jesus,
    To the warmth of his love.
    Let us go to the presence of Jesus,
    To see everlasting beauty,
    Let us go to the bosom of Jesus,
    To feel the warmth of his love.

    Beloved is the golden house of the Lord,
    In heavens, in the highest heaven.
    There in the light,
    Of the twinkling star,
    Is Jesus, my good Lord.

    Beloved is the land of God,
    In the beauty, the everlasting beauty.
    There in the sweet
    Scent of the rose,
    Is Jesus, my good Lord.
