2 Samuel 22
1 And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
I korerotia e Rawiri ki a Ihowa nga kupu o tenei waiata i te ra i whakaorangia ai ia e Ihowa i te ringa o ona hoariri katoa, i te ringa ano o Haora:
2 He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
I mea ia, Ko Ihowa toku teko, toku pourewa, ko toku kaiwhakaora hoki ia, ae ra ko toku;
3 My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
Ko te Atua toku kamaka, ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia; ko toku whakangungu rakau, ko te haona o toku whakaoranga, ko toku pa tiketike, ko toku rerenga atu; e toku kaiwhakaora, whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tutu.
4 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowa e tika nei kia whakamoemititia: a ka whakaorangia ahau i oku hoariri.
5 For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
I karapotia ahau e nga ngaru o te mate, i whakawehia ahau e nga waipuke o te kino.
I roritia ahau e nga taura a te reinga: potaea ana ahau e nga mahanga a te mate. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.
I karanga ahau ki a Ihowa i toku paweratanga, ae ra, i karanga ahau ki toku Atua: a i whakarongo ia ki toku reo i roto i tona temepara, i tae hoki taku hamama ki ona taringa.
8 Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
Na ka ngaueue te whenua, ka ru; wiri ana nga putake o nga rangi, ngaueue ana, no te mea e riri ana ia.
9 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
I kake he paowa i ona pongaponga, a ka kai te kapura o roto o tona mangai: ngiha ana nga waro.
10 He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
I whakapingoretia e ia nga rangi, a ka heke iho: a i raro te pouri kerekere i ona waewae.
11 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
Na ka eke ia ki te kerupa, a rere ana: ina, i kitea ia i runga i nga parirau o te hau.
12 He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
I meinga ano e ia te pouri hei teneti a tawhio noa, nga wai pouri, nga kapua matotoru o te rangi.
13 From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
Ngiha ana nga waro i te wherikotanga o tona aroaro.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
Papa ana te whatitiri a Ihowa i nga rangi; puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.
15 He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
Kokiritia mai ana e ia nga pere, a marara ana ratou; he uira, a ka whati ratou.
16 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
Na ka kitea nga takere o te moana, ka takoto kau nga putake o te ao i te whakatupehupehunga a Ihowa, i te whenunga o te manawa o ona pongaponga.
17 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau; kumea ake ahau e ia i roto i nga wai maha.
18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
Nana ahau i whakaora i toku hoariri kaha, i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.
19 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Huakina tatatia ana ahau e ratou i te ra o toku matenga: ko Ihowa ia toku whakawhirinakitanga.
20 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
A whakaputaina ana ahau e ia ki te wahi whanui: i whakaorangia ahau e ia, no te mea i whakaahuareka ia ki ahau.
21 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
Rite tonu ki taku mahi tika ta Ihowa utu ki ahau; rite tonu ki te ma o oku ringa tana i whakahoki mai ai ki ahau.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
I pupuri hoki ahau i nga ara a Ihowa; a kihai i he, i whakarere i toku Atua.
23 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau ana whakaritenga katoa; a, ko ana tikanga, kihai era i matara atu i ahau.
24 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
I tu tika ano ahau ki tona aroaro: i tiaki ano i ahau kei kino.
25 So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.
No reira i homai ai e Ihowa he utu ki ahau, rite tonu ki toku tika; rite tonu ki toku ma ki tana titiro.
26 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai ano koe; he tangata tika, ka tika ano koe.
27 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
He tangata ma, ka ma ano koe; he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tau mahi.
28 You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
E whakaorangia hoki e koe te iwi e tukinotia ana: kei runga ia ou kanohi i te hunga whakakake, kia whakahokia iho ratou e koe ki raro.
29 For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
Ko koe hoki toku rama, e Ihowa: ma Ihowa e whakamarama toku pouri.
30 For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
Nau hoki ahau i rere ai ki runga ki te ropu: na toku Atua ka peke ahau i te taiepa.
31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Tena ko te Atua, tika tonu tona ara; he parakore te kupu a Ihowa; he whakangungu rakau ia ki te hunga katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kahore a Ihowa? Ko wai hoki te kamaka, ki te kahore to tatou Atua?
33 God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
Ko te Atua toku pa kaha: ko ia hei arahi i te hunga tika i tona ara.
34 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
Ko ia nei hei mea i oku waewae kia rite ki o te hata: mana hoki ahau e whakatu ki runga ki oku wahi tiketike.
35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
Ko ia hei whakaako i oku ringa ki te whawhai; hei mea i oku ringa kia whakapiko i te kopere parahi.
36 You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
Kua homai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rakau o tau whakaoranga; whakanuia ana ahau e tou whakaaro mahaki.
37 You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
I whakanuia e koe oku takahanga i raro i ahau, te paheke oku waewae.
38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
Kua arumia e ahau oku hoariri, a huna iho ratou e ahau: kihai ano ahau i tahuri, a moti noa ratou.
39 I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
Moti iho ratou i ahau, mongamonga noa, te ahei te whakatika: ina, hinga ana ratou ki raro i oku waewae.
40 You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
Nau hoki ahau i whitiki ki te kaha mo te whawhai: piko ana i a koe ki raro i ahau te hunga i whakatika mai ki ahau.
41 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
Kua meinga hoki e koe kia hurihia mai e oku hoariri o ratou tuara ki ahau, kia huna e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.
42 They looked, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
I tirotiro ratou, heoi kahore he kaiwhakaora: ki a Ihowa rawa, heoi kihai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a ratou.
43 I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.
Na tukia ana ratou e ahau, a rite noa ki te puehu o te whenua: mohungahunga noa ratou i ahau, me te mea he paru no nga huarahi; a titaritaria ana ratou e ahau.
44 You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
Nau hoki ahau i ora ai i nga ngangautanga a toku iwi; nau ahau i tiaki hei upoko mo nga tauiwi: hei apa moku te iwi kahore nei i matauria e ahau.
45 Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
Ka tuku mai nga tangata iwi ke ki raro i ahau: kia rongo kau te taringa, kakama tonu mai ratou ki ahau.
46 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
Ka memeha haere nga tangata iwi ke: ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i o ratou kuhunga.
47 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
E ora ana a Ihowa, kia whakapaingia toku kamaka: kia whakanuia te Atua o te kamaka o toku whakaoranga:
48 the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,
Ara te Atua e rapu nei i te utu moku, e pehi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,
49 who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
E whakaputa nei i ahau i roto i oku hoariri: ae ra, e mea ana koe i ahau kia teitei ake i te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau: whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tangata tutu.
50 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.
51 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
He pourewa whakaora ia ki tana kingi; e whakaputa aroha ana ki tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ki a Rawiri ratou ko ona uri ake ake.
