Psalms 72
1 For Solomon. O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto 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 He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.
Mana e whakawa tou iwi i runga i te tika, au rawakore i runga i te whakawa tika.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.
Ka kawea mai e nga maunga te rongo mau ki te iwi, e nga pukepuke i runga i te tika.
4 He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.
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 They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.
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 like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water 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 the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be no more.
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 unto 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 dwellers in the desert shall bow 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 Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:
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 Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.
Ae, ka koropiko nga kingi katoa ki a ia: ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
12 For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath 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 will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save 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 will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
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 to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.
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 abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb 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 His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves 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 be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua, te Atua o Iharaira: ko ia nei anake hei mahi i nga mahi whakamiharo;
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever! and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen, and Amen.
Kia whakapaingia ano tona ingoa kororia mo ake tonu atu; kia ki katoa hoki te whenua i tona kororia. Amine, ae Amine.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Ko te mutunga tenei o nga inoi a Rawiri, a te tama a Hehe.
