Psalms 132

1 A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,

He waiata; he pikitanga. E Ihowa, maharatia a Rawiri, me ona mamaetanga ngakau katoa;

2 how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:

Tana oati ki a Ihowa, tana kupu taurangi ki te Mea Nui o Hakopa;

3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;

E kore rawa ahau e tae ki toku whare e noho ai ahau, e eke ranei ki runga ki toku moenga;

4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids

E kore ahau e tuku i oku kanohi kia moe, i oku kamo kia nenewha;

5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

Kia kitea ra ano e ahau he wahi mo Ihowa, he nohoanga mo te Mea Nui o Hakopa.

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest.

Na i rangona e matou ki Eparata, i kitea ki nga mara o te ngahere.

7 We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood.

Ka haere matou ki roto ki ona tapenakara; ka koropiko ki tona turanga waewae.

8 Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification.

E ara, e Ihowa, ki tou okiokinga, a koe, me te aaka o tou kaha.

9 Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult.

Kia whakakakahuria au tohunga ki te tika; kia hamama tau hunga tapu i te hari.

10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.

Whakaaro ki a Rawiri, ki tau pononga: kaua e whakapeaua atu te mata o tau i whakawahi ai.

11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.

Kua oati pono a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, e kore ia e tahuri ke i tena; Ka whakanohoia e ahau tetahi hua o tou kopu ki tou torona.

12 If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.

Ki te puritia e au tama taku kawenata, me taku whakaaturanga e ako ai ahau ki a ratou, ka noho ano a ratou tama ki tou torona ake ake.

13 For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place.

Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowa a Hiona; kua hiahiatia e ia hei nohoanga mona.

14 This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.

Ko toku okiokinga tenei ake ake; ko konei ahau noho ai, kua hiahiatia hoki e ahau.

15 When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

Ka manaakitia rawatia e ahau tana kai; ka whakamakonatia e ahau ona rawakore ki te taro.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy.

Ka whakakakahuria hoki e ahau ona tohunga ki te whakaoranga; a ka hamama tona hunga tapu i te hari.

17 There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.

Ka meinga e ahau kia pihi ki reira te haona o Rawiri: kua whakapaia e ahau he rama mo taku i whakawahi ai.

18 I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.

Ka whakakakahuria e ahau ona hoariri ki te whakama; a ka matomato tona karauna i runga i a ia.
