Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Whakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.
3 Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
Whakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
Whakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.
5 Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.
6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Nana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;
10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:
11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:
12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:
13 For his name alone is exalted.
Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.
14 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
