Psalms 69
1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David. SAVE me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Hohanimi. Na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau e te Atua, ka tae mai hoki nga wai ki roto ki toku wairua.
2 I stick fast in the mire of the deep: and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea: and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
Ka tapoko ahau ki te oru hohonu, ki te wahi kahore nei he tunga: kua tae ahau ki nga wai hohonu, ngaro iho ahau i nga waipuke.
3 I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.
Kua ruwha ahau i taku tangi; kua maroke toku korokoro: pakoko kau oku kanohi i ahau e tatari nei ki toku Atua.
4 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.
Tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa te hunga e mauahara noa ana ki ahau, e mea nei kia whakamatea ahau; utua ana e ahau i reira nga mea kihai i tangohia e ahau.
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:
E te Atua, e matau ana koe ki toku kuware; kahore hoki oku he e ngaro i a koe.
6 Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.
E te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano kaua te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e whakama i ahau: e te Atua o Iharaira, kei numinumi kau i ahau te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
Mou hoki ahau i waiho ai hei tawainga: ngaro iho toku mata i te whakama.
8 I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.
He tangata ke ahau ki oku hoa ake: hei tautangata ki nga tama a toku whaea.
9 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Ka pau hoki ahau i te aroha ki tou whare: kua tau ano ki ahau nga tawai a te hunga e tawai ana ki a koe.
10 And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.
I ahau i tangi, i whakatiki hei whiu i toku wairua, ka waiho tena hei tawainga moku.
11 And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.
I kakahu hoki ahau i te kakahu taratara moku, a i waiho hei whakatauki ma ratou.
12 They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.
Kei te korero kino moku te hunga e noho ana i te kuwaha: waiatatia ana ahau e te hunga haurangi waina.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
Ko ahau ia, ki a koe taku inoi, e Ihowa, i te wa e manakohia ai: whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua, i runga i te nui o tou aroha, o te pono o tau whakaoranga.
14 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Whakaorangia ahau i roto i te oru, kei toremi: kia ora ahau i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, i nga wai hohonu ano hoki.
15 Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Kei ngaro ahau i te waipuke, kei horomia e te rire; kei kopia ano te waha o te poka ki runga ki ahau.
16 Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
E Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he pai hoki tou atawhai: tahuri mai ki ahau, kia rite ki te nui o au arohatanga.
17 And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
A kaua e huna tou mata ki tau pononga; e pouri ana hoki ahau: hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
18 Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.
Whakatata mai ki toku wairua, hokona: whakaorangia ahau, e mahi nei oku hoariri.
19 Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.
E matau ana koe ki toku tawainga, ki toku whakama, ki toku numinumi: kei tou aroaro oku hoariri katoa.
20 In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
Maru noa toku ngakau i te tawai; a ki tonu ahau i te pouri: i titiro ahau ki tetahi hei aroha mai, a kore ake; ki etahi hei whakamarie, a kihai i kitea.
21 And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
I homai he au hei kai maku: i toku matewaitanga ano i whakainumia ahau ki te winika.
22 Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
Kia meinga ta ratou tepu i to ratou aroaro hei mahanga; hei rore hoki i to ratou wa rangimarie.
23 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.
Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kei kite ratou: kia wiri tonu hoki o ratou hope.
24 Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
Ringihia atu tou riri ki runga ki a ratou, kia mau hoki ratou i tou arita, i tou weriweri.
25 Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
Kia ururuatia to ratou nohoanga: kaua tetahi e noho ki o ratou teneti.
26 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
Mo ratou i tukino i te tangata i whiua nei e koe; a korerotia ana e ratou te pouri o te hunga i werohia e koe.
27 Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.
Tapiritia he kino ki runga ki to ratou kino; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tomo ki tou tika.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written.
Kia murua atu ratou i te pukapuka o te ora, kaua ano e tuhituhia ki roto ki te hunga tika.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.
Ko ahau ia, he rawakore, he pouri; kia whakateiteitia ake ahau, e te Atua, e tau whakaoranga.
30 I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise.
Ka whakamoemiti taku waiata ki te ingoa o te Atua, ka whakanui ano taku whakawhetai i a ia.
31 And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.
Pai rawa tenei ki a Ihowa i te puru i te kau, i te mea whai haona, whai maikuku.
32 Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live.
Kua kite te hunga mahaki, kua hari: ka ora ano o koutou ngakau, e te hunga e rapu nei i te Atua.
33 For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners.
No te mea ka rongo a Ihowa ki nga rawakore, e kore ano e whakahawea ki ana herehere.
34 Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.
Kia whakamoemiti te rangi me te whenua ki a ia, nga moana, me nga mea katoa e tere ana i roto.
35 For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance.
No te mea tera e whakaorangia e te Atua a Hiona, ka hanga ano e ia nga pa o Hura; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ka riro hoki a reira i a ratou.
36 And the seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
A ka nohoia a reira e nga uri o ana pononga: hei kainga tupu ano a reira mo te hunga e aroha ana ki tona ingoa.
