Waiata 31 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Īnoi Whakawhirinaki ki te AtuaKi te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1E Ihowā, ko koe tāku e whakawhirinaki nei;

kei whakamā ahau ake ake;

whakaorangia ahau, he tika nei hoki koe.

2Anga mai tōu taringa ki ahau;

hohoro te whakaora i ahau.

Kia ai koe hei kōhatu kaha mōku,

hei whare tiaki mōku.

3Ko koe hoki tōku kōhatu, tōku pā;

nā, kia mahara ki tōu ingoa,

ā, ārahina ahau, tohutohungia hoki ahau.

4Kapohia ahau i roto i te kupenga i hunā e rātou mōku;

ko koe hoki tōku kaha.

5Tēnei tōku wairua te tukua atu nei e ahau ki tōu ringa;

nāu ahau i hoko e Ihowā, e te Atua o te pono.

6E kino ana ahau ki te hunga e whakaaro ana ki ngā mea tekateka noa;

e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a Ihowā.

7Ka whakamanamana ahau, ka hari ki tōu atawhai;

mōu i titiro ki tāku tangi;

i mātau hoki ki tōku wairua i ngā wā o te hē;

8kāhore ahau i kopia e koe ki roto ki te ringa o te hoariri;

kua whakatūria e koe ōku waewae ki te wāhi nui.

9Tohungia ahau, e Ihowā, kei te hē hoki ahau,

pakoko kau tōku mata i te pōuri,

tōku wairua me tōku kōpū.

10Ka hemo nei hoki tōku ora i te tangi,

me ōku tau i te auē;

poto iho tōku kaha i tōku hē,

kurupopo ana ōku iwi.

11He tāwainga ahau nā ōku hoariri katoa;

ko te tino mahi ia tēnā a ōku hoa noho tata,

he mea wehi ahau nā ngā tāngata i mōhio ki ahau;

ko te hunga i kite i ahau i waho, rere ana i ahau.

12Kua warewaretia ahau

me te tūpāpaku kua ngaro atu i te ngākau;

kua rite ki te oko pakaru.

13I rongo hoki ahau i te ngautuarā a te tini;

i karapotia ahau e te wehi;

i a rātou e rūnanga ana ki te hē mōku,

i mea kia whakamatea ahau.

14Ko ahau ia i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, e Ihowā;

i mea, “Ko koe tōku Atua.”

15Kei tōu ringa ōku tāima,

whakaorangia ahau i ngā ringa o ōku hoariri,

i te hunga e tūkino ana i ahau.

16Kia whiti tōu mata ki tāu pononga;

whakaorangia ahau, he mahi tohu hoki tāu.

17Kei whakamā ahau, e Ihowā;

kua karanga hoki ahau ki a koe;

kia whakamā te hunga kino,

kia takoto puku i te rēinga.

18Whakamutua te kōrero a ngā ngutu teka,

he kino nei ā rātou kōrero mō te tangata tika,

nā tō rātou whakapehapeha hoki, nā tō rātou whakahīhī.

19Anō te nui o tāu pai kua rongoātia nei e koe

mō te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe;

i mahia nei e koe mō te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe

i te aroaro o ngā tama a te tangata!

20Ka hunā rātou e koe ki te wāhi ngaro i tōu aroaro

i ngā rauhanga a te tangata;

ka hunā rātou e koe ki roto ki te tēneti,

kei taea e te ngangau a ngā arero.

21Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā,

mōna i mea kia mīharotia tāna mahi tohu

ki ahau i te pā kaha.

22I kī hoki ahau i tōku pōtatutatunga,

“Kua motuhia mai ahau i mua i ōu kanohi.”

Ahakoa rā i rongo koe ki tōku reo īnoi

i tāku karangatanga ki a koe.

23Arohaina a Ihowā, e tāna hunga tapu katoa;

e tiakina ana e Ihowā te hunga pono,

ā, he nui tāna utu ki te kaimahi whakapehapeha.

24Kia māia, kia kaha ō koutou ngākau,

e te hunga katoa e tūmanako ana ki a Ihowā.
