Psalms 6
1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith. A psalm of David. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto, he mea Heminiti. He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kaua e whakatupehupehu mai ki ahau, ina riri koe, kaua ano ahau e pakia ina arita mai koe.
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.
E Ihowa, tohungia ahau, he ngoikore hoki ahau: rongoatia ahau, e Ihowa, e ohooho ana hoki oku wheua.
3 I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?
E ohooho noa iho ana hoki toku wairua: ko koe ia, e Ihowa, kia pehea atu te roa?
4 Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!
Hoki mai, e Ihowa, kia mawhiti atu toku wairua: kia mahara ki tou aroha, a whakaorangia ahau.
5 For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave? (Sheol h7585)
Kahore hoki he mahara ki a koe ina mate: ko wai hei whakawhetai ki a koe i roto i te reinga? (Sheol h7585)
6 My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.
Mauiui iho ahau i toku auetanga; e manu ana toku moenga i ahau a pau noa te po; e whakamakukuria ana e ahau toku takotoranga ki oku roimata.
7 With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.
Pakoko kau toku kanohi i te tangi; kua koroheke haere i oku hoariri katoa.
8 Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!
Mawehe atu i ahau, e nga kaimahi katoa i te kino; kua rongo nei hoki a Ihowa i te reo o taku tangi.
9 The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.
Kua rongo a Ihowa ki taku inoi; ka manako a Ihowa ki taku karakia.
10 All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
Ka whakama, ka pokaikaha noa iho oku hoariri katoa: ka hoki ratou, ka pa whakarere atu te whakama.
