He Hīmene i te Wā o te Raruraru ā-Iwi
He Makiri nā Ētana Eterahi.
1 Ka waiatatia e ahau ngā mahi tohu a Ihowā ake ake;
ka whakapuakina e tōku māngai tōu pono ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa.
2 I mea hoki ahau, “Ka hangā ake te mahi tohu mō ake tonu atu;
ka whakapūmautia e koe tōu pono ki ngā tino rangi rā anō.
3 “Kua whakarite kawenata ahau ki tāku i whiriwhiri ai;
kua oati ki tāku pononga ki a Rāwiri;
4 ‘Ka pūmau i ahau ōu uri ake ake;
ka hangā tōu torōna ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa.’ ”
Hera
5 Ka whakamoemiti anō ngā rangi, e Ihowā,
ki āu mahi whakamīharo, ki tōu pono hoki
i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga tapu.
6 Ko wai oti i ngā rangi hei rite mō Ihowā?
Ko wai i roto i ngā tama a te hunga nunui e rite ana ki a Ihowā,
7 he Atua whakamataku rawa i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga tapu,
e wehingia ana i runga ake i a rātou katoa i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha ōna?
8 E Ihowā, e te Atua o ngā mano
ko wai te mea kaha hei rite mōu, e IHA?
Hei rite rānei mō tōu pono i tētahi taha ōu, i tētahi taha?
9 Ko koe te kīngi o te huamo o te moana;
ka oho ōna ngaru, ko koe hei whakamarino.
10 Mongamonga noa i a koe a Rahapa ānō he tangata i patua;
marara ana i a koe, i tōu ringa kaha ōu hoariri.
11 Nāu ngā rangi, nāu te whenua;
te ao me ōna mea e hua ana i runga nāu ēnā i pūmau ai.
12 Ko te raki me te tonga nāu ēnā i hanga;
ka hari a Taporo rāua ko Heremona ki tōu ingoa.
13 He tākakau mārohirohi tōu;
he pakari tōu ringa, rewa tonu tōu matau ki runga.
14 Ko te tika me te whakawā te tūranga o tōu torōna;
e haere ana te mahi tohu me te pono i mua i tōu aroaro.
15 Ka hari te iwi e mōhio ana ki te tangi whakahari;
e haere ana rātou, e Ihowā, i te mārama o tōu mata;
16 e hari ana rātou ki tōu ingoa i te roa o te rā;
ā, mā tōu tika ka kake ai rātou.
17 Ko koe hoki te korōria o tō rātou kaha;
mā tāu manako anō ka ara ai tō mātou haona.
18 Nā Ihowā hoki tō mātou whakangungu rākau;
ā, nā te Mea Tapu o Īharaira tō tātou kīngi.
Tā te Atua Kawenata i a Rāwiri
19 I kōrero moemoeā koe i reira ki tāu Mea Tapu, i mea:
“Kua hoatu e ahau he kaha ki runga ki tētahi mārohirohi;
kua whakanuia e ahau tētahi i whiriwhiria i roto i te iwi.
20 Kua kitea e ahau tāku pononga, a Rāwiri;
kua whakawahia ia e ahau ki tāku hinu tapu.
21 Ka ū atu tōku ringa hei āwhina mōna;
mā tōku tākakau anō ia e whakakaha.
22 E kore te hoariri e whai wāhi ki a ia;
e kore anō hoki te tama a te kino e tūkino i a ia.
23 Māku e tukituki ōna hoariri ki tōna aroaro;
ka whiua e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.
24 Otirā, ka mau ki a ia tōku pono me tāku mahi tohu;
ā, mā tōku ingoa ka ara ai tōna haona.
25 Māku anō tōna ringa ka pā ai ki te moana;
tōna matau ki ngā awa.
26 Ka karanga ia ki ahau, ‘Ko koe tōku Pāpā,
tōku Atua, te kōhatu o tōku whakaoranga.’
27 Ka waiho anō ia hei mātāmua māku
ki runga ake i ngā kīngi o te whenua.
28 Ka rongoātia e ahau tāku mahi i tohu mōna ake tonu atu;
ka mau tonu tāku kawenata ki a ia.
29 Ka meinga hoki e ahau ōna uri kia mau tonu ake ake,
tōna torōna ānō ko ngā rā o te rangi.
30 “Ki te whakarērea e āna tamariki tāku ture,
ā, kāhore e haere i āku whakaritenga;
31 ki te takahi rātou i āku tikanga;
ā, kāhore e pupuri i āku whakahau;
32 kātahi ka whāia tā rātou mahi tutū e tāku rākau,
ō rātou kino e te whiu.
33 Otirā, e kore e tangohia rawatia e ahau tāku mahi tohu i a ia,
e tuku rānei i tōku pono kia hē.
34 E kore tāku kawenata e takahia e ahau,
e kore anō e whakarerekētia te mea i puta i ōku ngutu.
35 Kotahi āku oatitanga i tōku tapu;
e kore ahau e teka ki a Rāwiri.
36 Ka mau tonu tōna uri ake ake;
ā, ka rite tōna torōna ki te rā i tōku aroaro.
37 Ka rite tōna pūmau ki tō te marama ake ake;
hei kaiwhakaatu pono anō i runga i te rangi.”
Hera
He Tangi mō te Hinganga o te Kīngi
38 Nā, kua panga nei koe, kua whakarihariha,
kua riri ki tāu i whakawahi ai.
39 Kua weriweri koe ki te kawenata ki tāu pononga;
kua whakanoaia e koe tōna karauna, taka noa ki te whenua.
40 Kua pākaruhia e koe ōna taiepa katoa;
whakamōtītia iho e koe ōna pā kaha.
41 E pāhua ana i a ia ngā tāngata katoa e tika ana i te ara;
he tāwainga ia nā ōna hoa tata.
42 Kua whakarewaina e koe te ringa matau o ōna hoa whawhai;
kua meinga e koe kia hari ōna hoa whawhai katoa.
43 Āe, e ngore ana i a koe te mata o tāna hoari;
kīhai anō koe i tautoko i a ia ki te tatauranga.
44 Kua whakamutua e koe tōna korōria,
kua makā tōna torōna ki raro ki te whenua.
45 Kua poroa e koe ngā rā o tōna taitamarikitanga;
kua hīpokina ia e koe ki te whakamā.
Hera
He Īnoi mō te Whakawāteatanga
46 Kia pēhea te roa, e Ihowā, e whakangaro ai koe i a koe, ake tonu atu?
Kia pēhea te roa e toro ana tōu riri ānō he ahi?
47 Kia mahara ki te poto rawa o tōku tāima;
he aha i hangā ai e koe ngā tāngata katoa hei kore noa iho?
48 Ko wai tēnā tangata e ora nei, ā, e kore e kite i te mate?
E mawhiti koia i a ia tōna wairua i te kaha o te rēinga?
Hera
49 E te Ariki, kei hea āu arohatanga ō mua
i oatitia ai e koe ki a Rāwiri i runga i tōu pono?
50 Maharatia, e te Ariki, te tāwai ki āu pononga;
e mau nei ki tōku uma te tāwai a ngā iwi nunui katoa;
51 te tāwai a ōu hoariri, e Ihowā,
tā rātou tāwai nei ki ngā hīkoinga o tāu i whakawahi ai.
52 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā ake ake.
Āmine, āe Āmine.
