Psalms 68

1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered. Let also those who hate him flee before him.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. Kia ara te Atua, kia marara ona hoariri: kia whati hoki i tona aroaro te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.

2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

Aia atu ratou, peratia me te paowa e aia ana: kia rite ki te ware pi e rewa ana i te kapura te ngaromanga o te hunga kino i te aroaro o te Atua.

3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them exult before God. Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.

Kia koa ia te hunga tika; kia hari i te aroaro o te Atua: ae ra, kia tino hari pu ratou.

4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name. Cast up a highway for him who rides through the deserts. His name is Jehovah, and exult ye before him.

Waiata ki te Atua, himenetia tona ingoa; opehia ake he huanui mo tana hariata i nga koraha; tona ingoa ko IHA; kia hari hoki ki tona aroaro.

5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Hei matua mo nga pani, hei kaiwhakarite mo nga pouaru, te Atua i tona nohoanga tapu.

6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

E whakanohoia ana e te Atua te mokemoke ki te whare; e whakaputaina ana e ia nga herehere ki te ora: ko te hunga tutu ia e noho i te wahi waikore.

7 O God, when thou went forth before thy people, when thou marched through the wilderness (Selah)

E te Atua, i tou haerenga atu i mua i tau iwi: i tou haerenga i te koraha; (Hera)

8 the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, Sinai at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

I wiri te whenua, i tuturu iho ano nga rangi i te aroaro o te Atua; me taua Hinai ano i te aroaro o te Atua, o te Atua o Iharaira.

9 Thou, O God, sent a plentiful rain. Thou confirmed thine inheritance when it was weary.

I taia mai, e koe, e te Atua, he ua nui; a i tou kainga e ruwha ana ka whakaukia e koe.

10 Thy congregation dwelt in it. Thou, O God, prepared for the poor from thy goodness.

I noho tau whakaminenga ki reira: na tou pai, e te Atua, i mea kai ai koe ma nga rawakore.

11 The Lord gave the word. Great was the company of those who published it.

Ka homai e Ihowa te kupu: he ope nui nga wahine whakapuaki.

12 Kings of armies fled quickly, and she who remained at home divided the spoil.

Whati rawa nga kingi o nga taua: a ko te wahine i noho i te whare, kei te tuwha i nga parakete.

13 Though ye lie between two boundaries, it is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold.

I a koutou ka takoto noa i nga takotoranga hipi, he rite ki nga pakau o te kukupa kua paparuatia nei ki te hiriwa, ona hou ki te koura whero.

14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was as it snows in Zalmon.

I te whakamararatanga a te Kaha Rawa i nga kingi i reira, koia ano kei te hukarere o Taramono te ma.

15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.

He maunga Atua a Maunga Pahana; he maunga tiketike a Maunga Pahana.

16 Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it forever.

He aha koutou ka titiro titaha ai, e nga maunga tiketike, ki te maunga i hiahiatia nei e te Atua kia nohoia e ia? ae, ka nohoia e Ihowa ake ake.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

Ko nga hariata a te Atua, e rua tekau mano, mano mano iho; kei roto i a ratou te Ariki, me te mea ko Hinai, ko te wahi tapu.

18 Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.

Kua kake koe ki runga, kua whakaraua e koe te whakarau: kua riro i a koe he ohaoha mo te tangata; ae, mo te hunga tutu ano, kia noho ai a Ihowa, te Atua ki a ratou.

19 Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden daily, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)

Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, e whakawaha nei i ta tatou pikaunga i tenei ra, i tenei ra, te Atua o to tatou whakaoranga. (Hera)

20 God is to us a God of deliverances, and escape from death belongs to Jehovah the Lord.

Ko to tatou Atua te Atua o te whakaoranga: na Ihowa ano, na te Ariki, nga putanga ake i te mate.

21 But God will smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him who still goes in his guiltiness.

Ka maru ia i te Atua te matenga o ona hoariri: me te tumuaki huruhuru o te tangata e haere tonu ana i ana kino.

22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan. I will bring again from the depths of the sea,

I mea te Ariki, Ka whakahokia mai e ahau i Pahana, ka whakahokia mai e ahau taku iwi i nga rire o te moana:

23 that thou may dash thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from enemies.

Kia toua ai tou waewae ki te toto, kia whiwhi ai te arero o au kuri ki tana wahi o ou hoariri.

24 They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

I kite ratou, e te Atua, i ou haerenga, i nga haerenga o toku Atua, o toku Kingi, i te wahi tapu.

25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

Ko nga kaiwaiata i haere i mua, i muri ko nga kaiwhakatangi, i waenganui o nga kotiro e patupatu ana i nga timipera.

26 Bless ye God in the congregations, the lord of the fountain of Israel.

Whakapaingia te Atua i roto i nga whakaminenga, te Ariki hoki, e nga mea i puta mai i te matapuna o Iharaira.

27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, the rulers of Judah and their council, the rulers of Zebulun, the rulers of Naphtali.

Kei reira a Pineamine, te whakaotinga, to ratou ariki, nga rangatira o Hura, me to ratou ropu, nga rangatira o Hepurona, me nga rangatira o Napatari.

28 Thy God has commanded thy strength. Strengthen, O God, that which thou have wrought for us.

Kua oti he kaha mou te whakahau iho e tou Atua: whakaukia, e te Atua, tau i mea ai mo matou.

29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring presents to thee.

Ka maua mai e nga kingi he hakari ki a koe, mo tou temepara i Hiruharama.

30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples that delight in war.

Riria te kirehe o nga kakaho, te huinga puru, me nga kuao kau a nga iwi, me te takahi i nga pihi hiriwa ki raro: whakamararatia nga iwi e ahuareka ana ki te whainga.

31 Rulers shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.

E puta mai nga rangatira i Ihipa: meake hohoro te totoro o nga ringa o Etiopia ki te Atua.

32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth. O sing praises to the Lord (Selah)

Waiata ki te Atua, e nga rangatiratanga o te whenua: himene ki te Ariki: (Hera)

33 to him who rides upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old. Lo, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

Ki a ia, ko tona hariata nei ko nga rangi o nga rangi, nonamata: na, ka puaki tona reo, he reo kaha.

34 Ascribe ye strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.

Waiho te kaha i te Atua, kei runga nei i a Iharaira tana mahi rangatira: kei nga kapua hoki tona kaha.

35 O God, awesome out of thy holy places, the God of Israel, he gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.

Ka wehingia koe, e te Atua, i roto i ou wahi tapu: ko te Atua o Iharaira te kaihomai i te kaha, i te mana, ki tona iwi. Whakapaingia te Atua.
