2 Samuel 22
1 And Dauid spake the woordes of this song vnto the Lord, what time the Lord had deliuered him out of the handes of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
I korerotia e Rawiri ki a Ihowa nga kupu o tenei waiata i te ra i whakaorangia ai ia e Ihowa i te ringa o ona hoariri katoa, i te ringa ano o Haora:
2 And he sayd, The Lord is my rocke and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth mee.
I mea ia, Ko Ihowa toku teko, toku pourewa, ko toku kaiwhakaora hoki ia, ae ra ko toku;
3 God is my strength, in him will I trust: my shielde, and the horne of my saluation, my hie tower and my refuge: my Sauiour, thou hast saued me from violence.
Ko te Atua toku kamaka, ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia; ko toku whakangungu rakau, ko te haona o toku whakaoranga, ko toku pa tiketike, ko toku rerenga atu; e toku kaiwhakaora, whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tutu.
4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowa e tika nei kia whakamoemititia: a ka whakaorangia ahau i oku hoariri.
5 For the pangs of death haue compassed me: the floods of vngodlinesse haue made mee afrayd.
I karapotia ahau e nga ngaru o te mate, i whakawehia ahau e nga waipuke o te kino.
I roritia ahau e nga taura a te reinga: potaea ana ahau e nga mahanga a te mate. (Sheol h7585)
7 But in my tribulation did I call vpon the Lord, and crie to my God, and he did heare my voyce out of his temple, and my crie did enter into his eares.
I karanga ahau ki a Ihowa i toku paweratanga, ae ra, i karanga ahau ki toku Atua: a i whakarongo ia ki toku reo i roto i tona temepara, i tae hoki taku hamama ki ona taringa.
8 Then the earth trembled and quaked: the foundations of the heauens mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
Na ka ngaueue te whenua, ka ru; wiri ana nga putake o nga rangi, ngaueue ana, no te mea e riri ana ia.
9 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and consuming fire out of his mouth: coles were kindled thereat.
I kake he paowa i ona pongaponga, a ka kai te kapura o roto o tona mangai: ngiha ana nga waro.
10 He bowed the heauens also, and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
I whakapingoretia e ia nga rangi, a ka heke iho: a i raro te pouri kerekere i ona waewae.
11 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and hee was seene vpon the winges of the winde.
Na ka eke ia ki te kerupa, a rere ana: ina, i kitea ia i runga i nga parirau o te hau.
12 And hee made darkenesse a Tabernacle round about him, euen the gatherings of waters, and the cloudes of the ayre.
I meinga ano e ia te pouri hei teneti a tawhio noa, nga wai pouri, nga kapua matotoru o te rangi.
13 At the brightnesse of his presence the coles of fire were kindled.
Ngiha ana nga waro i te wherikotanga o tona aroaro.
14 The Lord thundred from heauen, and the most hie gaue his voyce.
Papa ana te whatitiri a Ihowa i nga rangi; puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.
15 He shot arrowes also, and scattered them: to wit, lightning, and destroyed them.
Kokiritia mai ana e ia nga pere, a marara ana ratou; he uira, a ka whati ratou.
16 The chanels also of the sea appeared, euen the foundations of the worlde were discouered by the rebuking of the Lord, and at the blast of the breath of his nostrels.
Na ka kitea nga takere o te moana, ka takoto kau nga putake o te ao i te whakatupehupehunga a Ihowa, i te whenunga o te manawa o ona pongaponga.
17 He sent from aboue, and tooke me: hee drewe me out of many waters.
I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau; kumea ake ahau e ia i roto i nga wai maha.
18 He deliuered me from my strong enemie, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Nana ahau i whakaora i toku hoariri kaha, i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.
19 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie, but the Lord was my stay,
Huakina tatatia ana ahau e ratou i te ra o toku matenga: ko Ihowa ia toku whakawhirinakitanga.
20 And brought me foorth into a large place: he deliuered me, because he fauoured me.
A whakaputaina ana ahau e ia ki te wahi whanui: i whakaorangia ahau e ia, no te mea i whakaahuareka ia ki ahau.
21 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse: according to the purenesse of mine handes he recompensed me.
Rite tonu ki taku mahi tika ta Ihowa utu ki ahau; rite tonu ki te ma o oku ringa tana i whakahoki mai ai ki ahau.
22 For I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
I pupuri hoki ahau i nga ara a Ihowa; a kihai i he, i whakarere i toku Atua.
23 For all his lawes were before me, and his statutes: I did not depart therefrom.
Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau ana whakaritenga katoa; a, ko ana tikanga, kihai era i matara atu i ahau.
24 I was vpright also towarde him, and haue kept me from my wickednesse.
I tu tika ano ahau ki tona aroaro: i tiaki ano i ahau kei kino.
25 Therefore the Lord did reward me according to my righteousnesse, according to my purenesse before his eyes.
No reira i homai ai e Ihowa he utu ki ahau, rite tonu ki toku tika; rite tonu ki toku ma ki tana titiro.
26 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai ano koe; he tangata tika, ka tika ano koe.
27 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the frowarde thou wilt shew thy selfe frowarde.
He tangata ma, ka ma ano koe; he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tau mahi.
28 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people: but thine eyes are vpon the hautie to humble them.
E whakaorangia hoki e koe te iwi e tukinotia ana: kei runga ia ou kanohi i te hunga whakakake, kia whakahokia iho ratou e koe ki raro.
29 Surely thou art my light, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkenes.
Ko koe hoki toku rama, e Ihowa: ma Ihowa e whakamarama toku pouri.
30 For by thee haue I broken through an hoste, and by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall.
Nau hoki ahau i rere ai ki runga ki te ropu: na toku Atua ka peke ahau i te taiepa.
31 The way of God is vncorrupt: the word of the Lord is tryed in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Tena ko te Atua, tika tonu tona ara; he parakore te kupu a Ihowa; he whakangungu rakau ia ki te hunga katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
32 For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie, saue our God?
Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kahore a Ihowa? Ko wai hoki te kamaka, ki te kahore to tatou Atua?
33 God is my strength in battel, and maketh my way vpright.
Ko te Atua toku pa kaha: ko ia hei arahi i te hunga tika i tona ara.
34 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and hath set me vpon mine hie places.
Ko ia nei hei mea i oku waewae kia rite ki o te hata: mana hoki ahau e whakatu ki runga ki oku wahi tiketike.
35 He teacheth mine handes to fight, so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
Ko ia hei whakaako i oku ringa ki te whawhai; hei mea i oku ringa kia whakapiko i te kopere parahi.
36 Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy louing kindnesse hath caused me to increase.
Kua homai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rakau o tau whakaoranga; whakanuia ana ahau e tou whakaaro mahaki.
37 Thou hast inlarged my steppes vnder me, and mine heeles haue not slid.
I whakanuia e koe oku takahanga i raro i ahau, te paheke oku waewae.
38 I haue pursued mine enemies and destroyed them, and haue not turned againe vntill I had consumed them.
Kua arumia e ahau oku hoariri, a huna iho ratou e ahau: kihai ano ahau i tahuri, a moti noa ratou.
39 Yea, I haue consumed them and thrust them through, and they shall not arise, but shall fall vnder my feete.
Moti iho ratou i ahau, mongamonga noa, te ahei te whakatika: ina, hinga ana ratou ki raro i oku waewae.
40 For thou hast girded me with power to battell, and them that arose against me, hast thou subdued vnder me.
Nau hoki ahau i whitiki ki te kaha mo te whawhai: piko ana i a koe ki raro i ahau te hunga i whakatika mai ki ahau.
41 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Kua meinga hoki e koe kia hurihia mai e oku hoariri o ratou tuara ki ahau, kia huna e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.
42 They looked about, but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not.
I tirotiro ratou, heoi kahore he kaiwhakaora: ki a Ihowa rawa, heoi kihai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a ratou.
43 Then did I beate them as small as the dust of the earth: I did treade them flat as the clay of the streete, and did spread them abroad.
Na tukia ana ratou e ahau, a rite noa ki te puehu o te whenua: mohungahunga noa ratou i ahau, me te mea he paru no nga huarahi; a titaritaria ana ratou e ahau.
44 Thou hast also deliuered me from the contentions of my people: thou hast preserued me to be the head ouer nations: the people which I knewe not, doe serue me.
Nau hoki ahau i ora ai i nga ngangautanga a toku iwi; nau ahau i tiaki hei upoko mo nga tauiwi: hei apa moku te iwi kahore nei i matauria e ahau.
45 Strangers shalbe in subiection to me: assoone as they heare, they shall obey me.
Ka tuku mai nga tangata iwi ke ki raro i ahau: kia rongo kau te taringa, kakama tonu mai ratou ki ahau.
46 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
Ka memeha haere nga tangata iwi ke: ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i o ratou kuhunga.
47 Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength: and God, euen the force of my saluation be exalted.
E ora ana a Ihowa, kia whakapaingia toku kamaka: kia whakanuia te Atua o te kamaka o toku whakaoranga:
48 It is God that giueth me power to reuenge me, and subdue the people vnder me,
Ara te Atua e rapu nei i te utu moku, e pehi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,
49 And rescueth me from mine enemies: (thou also hast lift me vp from them that rose against me, thou hast deliuered me from the cruell man.
E whakaputa nei i ahau i roto i oku hoariri: ae ra, e mea ana koe i ahau kia teitei ake i te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau: whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tangata tutu.
50 Therefore I will praise thee, O Lord amog the nations, and will sing vnto thy Name)
Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.
51 He is the tower of saluation for his King, and sheweth mercie to his anointed, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
He pourewa whakaora ia ki tana kingi; e whakaputa aroha ana ki tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ki a Rawiri ratou ko ona uri ake ake.
