Psalms 75
1 For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song. We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us. People tell about the wonderful things you have done.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Aratakiti. He himene, he waiata na Ahapa. Ka whakawhetai tonu matou ki a koe, e te Atua; ka whakawhetai tonu matou, kei te tata mai hoki tou ingoa: e korerotia ana e te tangata au mahi whakamiharo.
2 God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
Ka kitea e ahau te wa e rite ana, ka tika taku whakawa.
3 When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. (Selah)
Kuteretere noa iho te whenua me ona tangata katoa; naku i whakatu ona pou. (Hera)
4 To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’
I mea ahau ki te hunga whakakake, Kati ra te whakakake; ki te hunga hara ano, Kaua e whakaarahia te haona.
5 No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”
Kaua to koutou haona e whakaarahia ki runga: kati te whakamaro i te kaki ina korero.
6 For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.
No te mea kahore he aranga i te rawhiti, kahore i te hauauru, kahore hoki i te tonga.
7 God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.
Ko te Atua ia te kaiwhakawa; ko tenei e whakaititia iho ana e ia, ko tera e whakaarahia ake ana.
8 For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.
Kei te ringa hoki o Ihowa he kapu, pahuka tonu te waina; ki tonu, whakananu rawa, hei ringihanga mana: ko nga nganga ia, ma te hunga kino katoa o te whenua e tatau, e inu.
9 But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Ko ahau ia, ka kauwhau tonu: ka himene ki te Atua o Hakopa.
10 For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
A ka kotia e ahau nga haona katoa o te hunga kino: ka whakaarahia ake ia nga haona o te tangata tika.
