Waiata 42 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

PUKAPUKA 2(Waiata 42–72)Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He Makiri, mā ngā tama a Koraha.

1Rite tonu ki te hāta e kihakiha nei ki ngā manga wai

tōku ngākau e kihakiha nei ki a koe, e te Atua.

2E hiainu ana tōku wairua ki te Atua, ki te Atua ora;

āhea ahau tae ai, puta ai ki te aroaro o te Atua?

3Ko ōku roimata tāku kai

i te ao, i te pō,

i a rātou e mea tonu mai nei ki ahau,

“Kei hea tōu Atua?”

4Ka mahara ahau ki ēnei mea;

me te wai tōku ngākau e maringi ana i roto i ahau:

i haere hoki ahau i roto i te huihui,

i haere tahi mātou ki te whare o te Atua,

he hari te reo, he whakamoemiti,

me te huihui e mea hākari ana.

5He aha koe i piko ai, e tōku wairua?

I ohorere ai i roto i ahau?

Tūmanako ki te Atua;

tērā anō ahau e whakawhetai ki a ia,

mō te ora o tōna mata,

6e tōku Atua.

Kua piko tōku wairua i roto i ahau;

koia ahau ka mahara ai ki a koe

i te whenua o Horano, o ngā Heremoni,

i Maunga Mitara.

7Rarā ana tētahi rire ki tētahi rire

i te haruru o āu āwhiowhio wai;

tika ana āu ngaru katoa me āu tūātea

i runga i ahau.

8Ahakoa rā e whakahaua mai anō e Ihowā tōna atawhai i te awatea;

ā, he waiata tāku ki a ia i te pō,

he īnoi ki te Atua o tōku ora.

9Ka mea ahau ki te Atua,

“E tōku kōhatu, he aha koe i wareware ai ki ahau?

He aha ahau ka haere pōuri ai

i te tūkino a te hoariri?”

10Ānō he hoari i roto i ōku wheua

te tāwai a ōku hoariri;

i a rātou e mea mai nei ki ahau i ngā rā katoa,

“Kei hea tōu Atua?”

11He aha koe i piko ai, e tōku wairua?

He aha koe i ohorere ai i roto i ahau?

Tūmanako ki te Atua;

tērā anō ahau e whakawhetai ki a ia,

ko te ora nei ia o tōku mata, ko tōku Atua.
