Waiata 56 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Īnoi mō te Whakawhirinaki ki te AtuaKi te tino kaiwhakatangi: Ionata Ēreme Rehokime. Nā Rāwiri. He Mikitama, i a ia ka mau i ngā Pirihitini ki Kāta.

1Tohungia ahau e te Atua, ka horomia hoki ahau e te tangata;

e tūkino ana ia ki ahau i te rā roa nei,

i a ia e ngangare tonu nei.

2E whai ana ōku hoariri i te rā roa nei, kia horomia ahau;

he tokomaha nei hoki e whakahī ana,

e whawhai mai ana ki ahau.

3Ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a koe

i te wā e mataku ai ahau.

4Mā te Atua ahau ka whakamoemiti ki tāna kupu;

e whakawhirinaki ana ahau ki te Atua, e kore ahau e wehi.

He aha tā te kikokiko e mea ai ki ahau?

5E whakariroia kētia ana e rātou āku kupu i ngā rā katoa;

heoi anō tā rātou e whakaaro ai ko te kino mōku.

6E huihui ana rātou, e piri ana;

e titiro matatau ana ki ōku hīkoinga,

i a rātou e whanga nei ki tōku wairua.

7Mā te hē koia rātou ka mawhiti ai?

Kia riri koe, e te Atua, whakatakā iho hoki ngā iwi.

8E taua ana e koe ōku kōpikopikotanga;

rongoātia ōku roimata ki roto ki tāu ipu;

kāhore ianei i tāu pukapuka?

9I te rā e karanga ai ahau ka hoki whakamuri ōku hoariri;

e mātau ana ahau ki tēnei, kei ahau hoki te Atua.

10Mā te Atua ahau ka whakamoemiti ai ki tāna kupu;

mā Ihowā ahau ka whakamoemiti ai ki tāna kupu.

11E whakawhirinaki ana ahau ki te Atua; e kore ahau e wehi.

He aha tā te tangata e mea ai ki ahau?

12Kei ahau ngā kupu taurangi ki a koe, e te Atua;

me tuku e ahau ngā whakamoemiti ki a koe.

13Nāu hoki tōku wairua i whakaora kei mate;

e kore ianei koe e whakaū i ōku waewae kei paheke,

kia haere ai ahau i te aroaro o te Atua

i roto i te mārama o te hunga ora.
