Waiata 22 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Tangi Aurere me te Waiata WhakamoemitiKi te tino kaiwhakatangi: Airete Hahara. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1E tōku Atua, e tōku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau?

He aha koe i matara atu ai ki te whakaora i ahau,

i ngā kupu hoki o tāku hāmama?

2E tōku Atua, e karanga nei ahau i te awatea,

heoi kāhore koe e rongo,

i te pō anō kāhore ahau e wahangū.

3Otiia he tapu koe,

kei ngā whakamoemiti a Īharaira tōu nohoanga.

4I whakawhirinaki ō mātou mātua ki a koe,

i whakawhirinaki, ā, whakaorangia ana e koe.

5I karanga rātou ki a koe, ā, kua ora;

i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, ā, kīhai i whakamā.

6Ko ahau ia he toke, ehara i te tangata;

e tāwaia ana e te tangata,

e whakahāweatia ana e te iwi.

7Kataina iho ahau e te hunga katoa e kite ana i ahau,

kō ana ō rātou ngutu, rūrū ana ō rātou mātenga, e kī mai ana,

8“Tukua atu koe ki a Ihowā, māna ia e whakaora;

māna ia e whakaora, e pai ana hoki ia ki a ia.”

9Nāu ia ahau i whakawhānau mai i roto i te kōpū,

i mea hoki kia tūmanako, i ahau i ngā ū o tōku whaea.

10He mea whakarere atu ahau ki runga ki a koe nō te kōpū mai;

ko koe tōku Atua nō te kōpū mai anō o tōku whaea.

11Kei mamao atu i ahau,

e tata ana hoki te hē,

kāhore hoki he kaiāwhina.

12He tini ngā pūru e karapoti nei i ahau;

e whakapaea ana ahau e ngā mea kaha o Pahana.

13E hāmama ana ō rātou māngai ki ahau,

ānō he raiona e haehae ana, e hāmama ana.

14Kua ringihia ahau, ānō he wai,

kua takoki katoa ōku iwi;

me te ware pī tōku ngākau,

e rewa ana i waenganui i ōku whēkau.

15Kua maroke tōku kaha, ānō he maramara rīhi,

piri tonu tōku arero ki ōku kauae.

Kua whakatakotoria anō ahau e koe ki te puehu o te mate.

16Kua karapotia nei hoki ahau e te kīrehe,

kua muia e te whakaminenga o ngā tāngata hara;

kua pokaia e rātou ōku ringa me ōku waewae.

17E taea e ahau te tatau ōku iwi katoa;

e titiro mai ana rātou, e mātakitaki ana ki ahau.

18E wehewehea ana ōku kākahu mō rātou,

e maka rota ana mō tōku weruweru.

19Kaua rā ia koe e matara atu, e Ihowā;

e tōku kaha, hohoro mai hei āwhina mōku.

20Whakaorangia tōku wairua i te hoari,

tāku hoki e matenui nei i te kurī.

21Whakaorangia ahau i te māngai o te raiona.

Āe, i ngā haona o ngā kau mākā kua whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau.

22Ka kōrerotia e ahau tōu ingoa ki ōku tēina,

ka whakamoemititia koe e ahau i waenganui i te whakaminenga.

23E te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowā, whakamoemiti ki a ia;

whakakorōriatia ia, e te uri katoa o Hākopa,

kia wehi hoki ki a ia, e te uri katoa o Īharaira.

24Kīhai hoki ia i whakahāwea,

kīhai i whakarihariha ki te auē o te ngākau mamae;

kīhai anō i huna i tōna mata ki a ia,

engari i tāna karangatanga ki a ia i whakarongo ia.

25Ko koe tāku e whakamoemiti ai i waenganui o te whakaminenga nui,

ka whakamanā e ahau āku kupu taurangi

ki te aroaro o te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia.

26Ka kai te hunga māhaki, ā, ka mākona;

ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā te hunga e rapu ana ki a ia.

Kia ora tonu ō koutou ngākau, ake, ake!

27E mahara ngā pito katoa o te whenua,

ā, ka tahuri ki a Ihowā;

ka koropiko anō

ngā hapū katoa o ngā iwi ki tōu aroaro.

28Nō Ihowā hoki te rangatiratanga,

ko ia anō te kāwana i waenganui o ngā iwi.

29Ka kai, ā, ka koropiko ngā tāngata tetere katoa o te whenua;

ka tuohu ki tōna aroaro te hunga katoa e heke ana ki te puehu;

tae noa ki te tangata kāhore e ora i a ia tōna wairua.

30Tērā e mahi tētahi uri ki a ia;

ka waiho ki te Ariki hei whakatupuranga.

31E haere mai rātou, e kauwhau i tōna tika

ki te iwi e whānau ā mua,

he meatanga tēnei nāna.
