Psalms 41

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Ka hari te tangata e whakaaro ana ki te rawakore; e whakaorangia ia e Ihowa i te ra o te he.

2 May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

Ma Ihowa ia e tiaki, e whakaora; ka whakaharitia ia i runga i te whenua: e kore ano e tukua e koe ki nga hiahia o ona hoariri.

3 May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness.

Ma Ihowa ia e whakakaha, i a ia e whakaruhi ana i runga i te moenga: mau ano e whakapai katoa tona moenga i a ia e mate ana.

4 I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

I mea ahau, E Ihowa, tohungia ahau; rongoatia toku wairua; kua hara hoki ahau ki a koe.

5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

He kino te korero a oku hoariri moku, e mea ana, A hea ranei ia mate ai, pirau ai tona ingoa?

6 And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

A ki te haere mai ia kia kite i ahau, ka korero horihori ia: e ami ana tona ngakau i te kino mana; i tona putanga ki waho, korerotia ana e ia.

7 All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

E komuhumuhu ana moku te hunga katoa e kino ana ki ahau; e whakatakoto ana i te kino moku.

8 They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

E ai ta ratou, E piri ana te mate kino ki a ia; a ka takoto nei ia, heoi ano tona aranga ake.

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

Ae, ko toku hoa ake ano, i whakawhirinaki ai ahau, i kai nei i taku taro, kua hiki ake tona rekereke ki ahau.

10 But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

Ko koe ia, e Ihowa, kia aroha ki ahau: a whakaarahia ahau, kia utua ai ratou e ahau.

11 By this I know that thou hast delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

Na konei ahau i matau ai e pai ana koe ki ahau, no te mea kahore toku hoariri e whakamanamana ki ahau.

12 But thou didst help me because of [mine] innocence, and hast established me before thee for ever.

Ko ahau ia, ko koe e whakamau ake ana i ahau i runga i toku ngakau tapatahi: e whakatu ake ana hoki i ahau ki tou aroaro ake tonu atu.

13 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.

Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira inamata riro ano, ake tonu atu ano hoki. Amine, ae Amine.
