Psalms 55
1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David to give instruction. Heare my prayer, O God, and hide not thy selfe from my supplication.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He Makiri, na Rawiri. E te Atua, tahuri mai tou taringa ki taku inoi: kei whakangaro atu koe, ina tangi ahau.
2 Hearken vnto me, and answere me: I mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse,
Anga mai ki ahau, whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau: pokaikaha noa iho ahau i ahau e tangi nei, e hamama nei;
3 For the voyce of the enemie, and for the vexation of ye wicked, because they haue brought iniquitie vpon me, and furiously hate me.
I te reo hoki o te hoariri, i te tukino a te tangata kino: no te mea e utaina ana e ratou he hara ki runga ki ahau, a e kino ana ki ahau, e riri ana.
4 Mine heart trembleth within mee, and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me.
Mamae pu toku ngakau i roto i ahau: kua taka ki runga ki ahau nga wehi whakamate.
5 Feare and trembling are come vpon mee, and an horrible feare hath couered me.
Kua pa ki ahau te wehi me te wiri: a pokia iho ahau e te whakamataku.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a doue: then would I flie away and rest.
Na ko taku meatanga, Aue, te whai pakau ahau me he kukupa; penei ka rere atu ahau, a ka whai okiokinga.
7 Beholde, I woulde take my flight farre off, and lodge in the wildernes. (Selah)
Katahi ahau ka rere ki tawhiti; a noho rawa atu i te koraha. (Hera)
8 Hee would make haste for my deliuerance from the stormie winde and tempest.
Ka hohoro toku rere atu i te hau, i te awha.
9 Destroy, O Lord, and deuide their tongues: for I haue seene crueltie and strife in the citie.
Whakangaromia, e te Ariki, wehia o ratou arero; kua kitea hoki e ahau te tukino me te tutu o roto o te pa.
10 Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: both iniquitie and mischiefe are in the middes of it.
Haereere ana ratou i te ao, i te po, i runga i ona taiepa, a tawhio noa: he kino kei roto, he hianga.
11 Wickednes is in the middes thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streetes.
He hara kei waenganui ona: kahore ona ara e mahue i te tinihanga, i te hianga.
12 Surely mine enemie did not defame mee: for I could haue borne it: neither did mine aduersarie exalt himselfe against mee: for I would haue hid me from him.
Ehara hoki i te hoariri nana ahau i tawai; penei e taea e ahau te whakaririka: ehara hoki i te hoa whawhai noku i whakakake ki ahau; penei kua piri ahau, kei kitea e ia.
13 But it was thou, O man, euen my companion, my guide and my familiar:
Nau ia, na te tangata i rite ki ahau, na toku takahoa, na taku i mohio ai.
14 Which delited in consulting together, and went into the House of God as companions.
Ahuareka tonu ta taua korerorero; haere tahi ana hoki taua i roto i te ropu ki te whare o te Atua.
15 Let death sense vpon them: let them goe downe quicke into the graue: for wickednes is in their dwellings, euen in the middes of them. (Sheol h7585)
Kia mau ohorere ratou i te mate, kia heke ora ki te reinga: he hara hoki kei o ratou nohoanga, kei waenganui i a ratou. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I will call vnto God, and the Lord will saue me.
Ko ahau, ka karanga ahau ki te Atua: a ma Ihowa ahau e whakaora.
17 Euening and morning, and at noone will I pray, and make a noyse, and he wil heare my voice.
I te ahiahi, i te ata, i te poutumarotanga, ka inoi ahau, ka tangi: a ka whakarongo ia ki toku reo.
18 He hath deliuered my soule in peace from the battel, that was against me: for many were with me.
Whakaorangia ana e ia toku wairua i runga i te rangimarie i ahau e whakaekea ana: he tokomaha hoki oku hoa whawhai.
19 God shall heare and afflict them, euen hee that reigneth of olde, (Selah) because they haue no changes, therefore they feare not God.
Ka whakarongo te Atua, no tua iho nei tona nohoanga, a ka whakahoki i ta ratou. (Hera) Ko te hunga kahore o ratou whakawhitiwhitinga, a kahore o ratou wehi ki te Atua.
20 Hee layed his hande vpon such, as be at peace with him, and he brake his couenant.
Kua totoro ona ringa ki te hunga kua mau nei ta ratou rongo ki a ia; kua whakataka e ia tana kawenata.
21 The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter, yet warre was in his heart: his words were more gentle then oyle, yet they were swordes.
Maeneene atu tona mangai i te pata, he whawhai ia kei roto i tona ngakau: ngawari atu ana kupu i te hinu, kahore, he hoari kua oti te unu.
22 Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and hee shall nourish thee: he wil not suffer the righteous to fall for euer.
Maka ki runga ki a Ihowa tau pikaunga, a mana koe e whakau ake: e kore e tukua e ia te hunga tika kia whakangaueuetia ake ake.
23 And thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pitte of corruption: the bloudie, and deceitfull men shall not liue halfe their dayes: but I will trust in thee.
Mau ia ratou e mea, e te Atua, kia heke ki te poka o te pirau: e kore nga tangata toto, nga tangata hianga e tutuki ki te hawhe o o ratou ra; ko ahau ia, ka whakawhirinaki ki a koe.
