Psalms 147

1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing vnto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and praise is comely.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa; he pai hoki te himene ki to tatou Atua: ahuareka rawa, ataahua tonu te whakamoemiti.

2 The Lord doth builde vp Ierusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.

Ko Ihowa hei hanga i Hiruharama: mana hoki nga whati o Iharaira e kohikohi.

3 He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.

Ko ia hei rongoa i te hunga ngakau maru: mana e takai o ratou wahi mamae.

4 He counteth the nomber of the starres, and calleth them all by their names.

E taua ana e ia nga whetu, te maha: e huaina ana hoki e ia o ratou ingoa katoa.

5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdome is infinite.

He nui to tatou Ariki, he nui hoki tona kaha: e kore e taea tona matauranga te whakaaro.

6 The Lord relieueth the meeke, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.

Ko Ihowa te kaitautoko mo te hunga mahaki: ka turakina e ia te hunga kino ki te whenua.

7 Sing vnto the Lord with prayse: sing vpon the harpe vnto our God,

Waiata, whakawhetai ki a Ihowa: himene i runga i te hapa ki to tatou Atua:

8 Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:

Ko ia nei te kaiuwhi i te rangi ki nga kapua, te kaihanga i te ua mo te whenua: e whakatupu ana ia i te tarutaru ki runga ki nga maunga.

9 Which giueth to beasts their foode, and to the yong rauens that crie.

E homai ana e ia he kai ma te kirehe: ma nga pi raweni hoki ina tangi.

10 He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.

E kore ia e ahuareka ki te kaha o te hoiho: e kore ia e manako ki nga waewae o te tangata.

11 But the Lord deliteth in them that feare him, and attende vpon his mercie.

E manako ana a Ihowa ki te hunga e wehi ana i a ia, ki te hunga e tumanako ana ki tona aroha.

12 Prayse the Lord, O Ierusalem: prayse thy God, O Zion.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, e Hiruharama: whakamoemititia tou Atua, e Hiona.

13 For he hath made the barres of thy gates strong, and hath blessed thy children within thee.

Nana nei hoki i whakakaha nga tutaki o ou tatau: manaakitia ana e ia au tamariki i roto i a koe.

14 He setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the floure of wheate.

Nana ano i mau ai te rongo i roto i ou rohe: nana koe i makona ai i te witi pai rawa.

15 He sendeth foorth his commandement vpon earth, and his worde runneth very swiftly.

E tukua ana e ia tana kupu ki te whenua: tere rawa te rere o tana kupu.

16 He giueth snowe like wooll, and scattereth the hoare frost like ashes.

E homai ana e ia te hukarere ano he huruhuru hipi: e whakatitaritaria ana te haupapa ano he pungarehu.

17 He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?

Maka mai ana e ia tana hauhunga ano he maramara: ko wai e tu i mua i tana matao?

18 He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.

E tukua ana e ia tana kupu, a whakarewaina ana aua mea: ka meinga tana hau kia pupuhi, rere ana nga wai.

19 He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.

E whakakitea ana e ia tana kupu ki a Hakopa; ana tikanga, me ana whakaritenga ki a Iharaira.

20 He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.

Kahore i pera tana hanga ki tetahi iwi; kihai ano ana whakaritenga i mohiotia e ratou. whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
