Psalms 19
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The heauens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth ye worke of his hands.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. E korerotia ana e nga rangi te kororia o te Atua; a e whakaaturia ana e te kikorangi te mahi a ona ringa.
2 Day vnto day vttereth the same, and night vnto night teacheth knowledge.
E puaki ana te reo o tena rangi, o tena rangi, e whakaatu mohiotanga ana hoki tena po, tena po.
3 There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard.
Kahore he hamumu, kahore he kupu, kahore e rangona to ratou reo.
4 Their line is gone forth through all the earth, and their words into the endes of the world: in them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne.
Kua puta ta ratou aho ki te whenua katoa, a ratou kupu, a te pito ra ano o te ao. Whakaturia ana e ia ki reira te tapenakara mo te ra;
5 Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.
A e puta ana ia me he tane marena hou i tona whare moenga, whakai ana ia, pera ana me te tangata kaha e mea ana ki te oma whakataetae.
6 His going out is from the ende of the heauen, and his compasse is vnto the endes of ye same, and none is hid from the heate thereof.
Ko tona putanga kei tetahi pito o te rangi, a whawhe noa ke tetahi pito: kahore hoki tetahi mea e ngaro i tona mahana.
7 The Lawe of the Lord is perfite, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of the Lord is sure, and giueth wisedome vnto the simple.
Tapatahi tonu te ture a Ihowa, he mea whakatahuri i te wairua: pono tonu nga whakaatu a Ihowa, e whakawhaiwhakaaro ana i te kuare.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right and reioyce the heart: the commandement of the Lord is pure, and giueth light vnto the eyes.
He tika nga ako a Ihowa, e whakahari ana i te ngakau, he ma te whakahau a Ihowa, e whakamarama ana i nga kanohi.
9 The feare of the Lord is cleane, and indureth for euer: the iudgements of the Lord are trueth: they are righteous altogether,
He ma te wehi ki a Ihowa, pumau tonu ake ake, he pono nga whakaritenga a Ihowa, tika kau ano.
10 And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe.
Engari ena e hiahiatia ana i te koura, ae, i te tino koura ahakoa maha: reka atu i te honi, i te maturuturutanga iho o nga honikoma.
11 Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Na ena ano tau pononga i whakatupato; he nui te utu ki te puritia.
12 Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.
Ko wai e matau ana ki ona he? Whakamakia oku hara puku.
13 Keepe thy seruant also from presumptuous sinnes: let them not reigne ouer me: so shall I be vpright, and made cleane from much wickednes.
Puritia ano tau pononga kei riro i nga hara whakakake hei rangatira moku: ko reira ahau tu tika ai, a ka watea i te he nui.
14 Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Kia manakohia nga kupu a toku mangai: me nga whakaaro o toku ngakau i tou aroaro, e Ihowa, e toku kamaka, e toku kaihoko.
