Psalms 72
1 For Solomon. O God, give your judgement to the king, and your righteousness to the king's son;
Na Horomona. Homai, e te Atua, au whakaritenga ki te kingi, me tou tika ki te tama a te kingi.
2 [that he may] judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgement.
Mana e whakawa tou iwi i runga i te tika, au rawakore i runga i te whakawa tika.
3 Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to your people:
Ka kawea mai e nga maunga te rongo mau ki te iwi, e nga pukepuke i runga i te tika.
4 he shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.
Ka whakawa ia mo nga ware o te iwi: ka whakaorangia e ia nga tamariki a te rawakore; mongamonga noa i a ia te kaitukino.
5 And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.
I te ra e mau ana, i te marama hoki, ka pera te mau o to ratou wehi ki a koe i nga whakatupuranga katoa.
6 He shall come down as rain upon a fleece; and as drops falling upon the earth.
E heke iho ia ano he ua ki runga ki te kotinga tarutaru, me nga ua e whakamakuku nei i te whenua.
7 In his days shall righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.
Ka tupu te tangata tika i ona ra: tona roa ano o te ata noho, a kore noa te marama.
8 And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Ka kingi ia i tenei moana, a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa, a nga pito atu ano o te whenua.
9 The Ethiopians shall fall down before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
Ka piko ki tona aroaro te hunga o te koraha: a ka mitimiti ona hoariri i te puehu.
10 The kings of Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.
Ka maua mai he hakari e nga kingi o Tarahihi, o nga motu: ka kawea mai he tahua e nga kingi o Hepa, o Tepa.
11 And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.
Ae, ka koropiko nga kingi katoa ki a ia: ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
12 For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.
Ka ora hoki i a ia te rawakore ua tangi atu, te ware hoki me te tangata kahore nei ona kaiawhina.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.
E tohu ia i te tangata iti, i te rawakore; ka ora ano i a ia nga wairua o nga rawakore.
14 He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name [shall be] precious before him.
Ka hokona e ia to ratou wairua i roto i te tukino, i te tutu, he mea utu nui hoki o ratou toto ki tana titiro.
15 And he shall live, and there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia: and [men] shall pray for him continually; [and] all the day shall they praise him.
A e ora ratou; ka hoatu ano ki a ia he koura no Hepa: ka tukua tonutia hoki te inoi mona; ka whakapaingia ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
16 There shall be an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall be exalted above Libanus, and they of the city shall flourish as grass of the earth.
He kutanga witi tera i runga i te whenua, i te tihi o nga maunga; ngarue ana ona hua, ano ko Repanona, a ka rite te tupu o nga tangata o te pa ki to te tarutaru o te whenua.
17 Let his name be blessed for ever: his name shall endure longer than the sun: and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
Ka mau tonu tona ingoa ake ake; ka rite tona ingoa ki te ra te pumau: kei roto i a ia te manaaki mo te tangata; ka korerotia tona koa e nga iwi katoa.
18 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua, te Atua o Iharaira: ko ia nei anake hei mahi i nga mahi whakamiharo;
19 And blessed is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.
Kia whakapaingia ano tona ingoa kororia mo ake tonu atu; kia ki katoa hoki te whenua i tona kororia. Amine, ae Amine.
20 The hymns of David the son of Jessae are ended.
Ko te mutunga tenei o nga inoi a Rawiri, a te tama a Hehe.
