hallelujah亦作halleluiah,乃犹太教和基督教的欢呼语,用以表示赞美、欢乐或感谢等,常出现在礼拜仪式和赞美诗中,意为“赞美主”,但一般多音译为“哈利路亚”。关于该词的由来,流传着这样一则意大利民间传说:耶稣被钉死在十字架上后,三个罗马军团士兵,一个是罗马人,一个是意大利北部的皮德蒙特人( Piedmontese),另一个是德国人,被派去看守耶稣的遗体。当耶稣复活时,罗马人惊呼了一声Ha!皮德蒙特人喊了一声L’e lii!(是他),德国人则叫了一声Ja!(是啊)。hallelujah 一词就这样产生了。然而传说终归是传说,其真正词源乃希伯来语hallelu-yuh,相当于英语praise ye Jahveh。
