Waiata 18 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Tā Rāwiri Waiata Manahau(2 Hamuera 22.1-51)Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā te pononga a Ihowā nā Rāwiri. Nāna i whakahua ngā kupu o tēnei waiata ki a Ihowā i te rā i whakaorangia ai ia i te ringa o ōna hoariri katoa, i te ringa anō o Haora. I mea ia:

1Ka aroha ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā,

e tōku kaha.

2Ko Ihowā tōku kāmaka, tōku pā, tōku kaiwhakaora;

tōku Atua, tōku tino kāmaka, e whakawhirinaki ai ahau;

tōku whakangungu rākau, te haona o tōku whakaoranga, tōku pourewa tiketike.

3Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowā, e tika nei kia whakamoemititia;

ā, ka ora i ōku hoariri.

4I karapotia ahau e ngā whakawiringa a te mate,

ā, whakawehia ana ahau e ngā waipuke o te kino.

5I karapotia ahau e ngā whakawiringa a te rēinga,

i haukotia e ngā māhanga a te mate.

6I karanga ahau ki a Ihowā i tōku pāweratanga;

i hāmama ki tōku Atua.

I whakarongo ia ki tōku reo i roto i tōna temepara,

i tae anō tāku hāmama ki tōna aroaro, ki ōna taringa.

7Nā, ka ngāueue te whenua, ka rū,

wiri ana ngā pūtake o ngā maunga,

ngāueue ana i tōna riri.

8I kake he paowa i ōna pongaponga,

ā, kai ana te kāpura a tōna māngai,

ngiha ana ngā waro.

9I whakapīngoretia e ia ngā rangi, ā, heke iho ana,

ā, i raro te pōuri mātotoru i ōna waewae.

10I eke ia ki runga ki te kerupa, ā, rere ana;

āe, i rere omaki ia i runga i ngā parirau o te hau.

11I meinga e ia te pōuri hei wāhi ngaro mōna,

hei tēneti i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha;

ko te pōuritanga o ngā wai, ko ngā kapua mātotoru o te rangi.

12I rere atu ōna kapua mātotoru

i te wherikotanga o tōna aroaro;

te whatu, me ngā waro kāpura.

13I papā anō te whatitiri a Ihowā i ngā rangi,

ā, puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa;

he whatu, he waro kāpura.

14I kōkiritia e ia āna pere, ā, marara ana rātou;

āe, i kōperea hoki e ia te tini uira,

ā, whati ana rātou.

15Kātahi ka kitea ngā takere o ngā wai,

ā, ka takoto kau ngā pūtake o te ao

i tāu whakatūpehupehutanga, e Ihowā,

i te whengunga o te manawa o ōu pongaponga.

16I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau;

tōia ake ahau e ia i roto i ngā wai maha.

17Nāna ahau i ora ai i tōku hoariri kaha,

i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau;

he kaha rawa hoki rātou i ahau.

18I huakina tatatia ahau e rātou i te rā o tōku matenga;

ko Ihowā ia tōku whakawhirinakitanga.

19I whakaputaina ahau e ia ki te wāhi nui,

i whakaorangia ahau e ia; he āhuareka nōna ki ahau.

20Rite tonu ki tāku mahi tika tā Ihowā utu ki ahau;

rite tonu ki te mā o ōku ringa tāna i whakahoki ai ki ahau.

21Mōku i pupuri i ngā ara o Ihowā,

ā, kīhai i hē, i whakarere i tōku Atua.

22Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau āna whakaritenga katoa,

kīhai anō i whakamataratia atu i ahau āna tikanga.

23Tapatahi tonu hoki tōku whakaaro ki tōna aroaro,

ā, i tiaki ahau i ahau kei kino.

24Nā, ka hōmai e Ihowā he utu ki ahau,

rite tonu ki tōku tika,

ki te mā o ōku ringa i tōna aroaro.

25He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai hoki koe;

he tangata tika, ka tika hoki koe.

26He tangata mā, ka mā hoki koe;

he tangata whakakeke, ka whakakeke hoki koe.

27E whakaorangia hoki e koe te iwi ngākau mamae;

ka whakahokia anō e koe ki raro ngā kanohi whakakake.

28Māu hoki e whakaū tāku rama;

mā Ihowā, mā tōku Atua, e whakamārama tōku pōuri.

29Nāu hoki ahau i rere ai nā waenganui atu i te rōpū;

nā tōku Atua hoki i pekea ai e ahau te taiepa.

30Tēnā ko te Atua, tika tonu tōna ara;

kua oti tāna kupu te whakamātau;

he whakangungu rākau ia

ki te hunga katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.

31Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kāhore a Ihowā?

Ko wai hoki he kāmaka, ki te kāhore tō tātou Atua?

32Ko te Atua, nāna ahau i whītiki ki te kaha,

i mea kia tino tika tōku ara.

33Ko ia hei mea i ōku waewae kia rite ki ō te hāta;

māna hoki ahau e whakatū ki runga ki ōku wāhi tiketike.

34Ko ia hei whakaako i ōku ringa ki te whawhai,

ā, whati ana te kōpere parāhi i ōku ringa.

35Kua hōmai anō e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rākau o tāu whakaoranga;

puritia ana ahau e tōu ringa matau,

whakanuia ana e tōu whakaaro māhaki.

36I whakanuia e koe ōku takahanga i raro i ahau;

tē paheke ōku waewae.

37Ka arumia e ahau ōku hoariri, mau iho i ahau;

e kore ahau e tahuri mai, ā ngaro noa rātou.

38Marū ana rātou i ahau, tē kaha te whakatika;

hinga ana ki raro i ōku waewae.

39Nāu hoki ahau i whītiki ki te kaha mō te whawhai;

piko ana i a koe ki raro i ahau te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau.

40Kua meinga e koe kia tahuri mai ngā tuarā o ōku hoariri ki ahau,

kia hautopea ai e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.

41I karanga rātou, heoi kāhore he kaiwhakaora;

ki a Ihowā, otirā kīhai i whakahoki kupu ki a rātou.

42Nā, ka tukia rātou e ahau ā rite noa rātou ki te puehu e pūhia ana e te hau;

ākiritia atu ana rātou ki waho, ānō he paru nō te huarahi.

43Kua whakaorangia ahau e koe i ngā ngangautanga a te iwi;

kua meinga e koe hei rangatira mō ngā tauiwi;

hei apa mōku te iwi kāhore i mātauria e ahau.

44Kia rongo kau te taringa ki ahau, ka kakama tonu mai rātou ki ahau;

ko ngā tāngata iwi kē ngohe kau ki ahau.

45Ka memeha haere ngā tāngata iwi kē;

ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i ō rātou kuhunga.

46E ora ana a Ihowā; kia whakapaingia hoki tōku kāmaka,

kia whakanuia te Atua o tōku whakaoranga;

47ko te Atua, māna nei e rapu he utu mōku,

māna e pēhi ngā iwi ki raro i ahau.

48Māna ahau e mawhiti ai i ōku hoariri,

āe rā, māu ahau e mea kia teitei ake i te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau;

ka whakaorangia ahau e koe i te tangata tutū.

49Mō konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā, i waenganui i ngā tauiwi;

ka hīmene ki tōu ingoa.

50He nui nei tāna whakaora i tāna kīngi;

e whakaputa aroha ana ki tāna tangata i whakawahi ai,

ki a Rāwiri rātou ko ōna uri ake ake.
