Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

Ko Ihowa te Kingi; kia wiri nga iwi: e noho ana ia i waenganui i nga kerupima; kia ngaueue te whenua.

2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

He nui a Ihowa i Hiona: kei runga ake ia i nga iwi katoa.

3 May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

Kia whakamoemiti ratou ki tou ingoa nui, whakamataku; he tapu ia.

4 And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

E matenui ana hoki te kaha o te kingi ki te whakawa tika; ko koe hei whakapumau i te pono: he whakawa tika, he hekore tau mahi i roto i a Hakopa.

5 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

Whakanuia a Ihowa, to tatou Atua: koropiko ki tona turanga waewae; he tapu ia.

6 Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

Ko Mohi raua ko Arona i roto i ana tohunga, me Hamuera i roto i te hunga e karanga ana ki tona ingoa: i karanga ratou ki a Ihowa, a whakahoki kupu ana mai ia ki a ratou.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.

I korero ia ki a ratou i roto i te pou kapua: i pupuri ratou i ana whakaaturanga, i te tikanga i whakatakotoria e ia ki a ratou.

8 You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

E Ihowa, e to matou Atua, i whakahoki kupu koe ki a ratou: he Atua tohu koe i a ratou, otiia i rapu utu ano koe mo a ratou mahi.

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.

Whakanuia a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, koropiko atu i tona maunga tapu: he tapu hoki a Ihowa, to tatou Atua.
