Psalms 69
1 To him that excelleth upon Shoshannim. A Psalme of David. Save mee, O God: for the waters are entred euen to my soule.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Hohanimi. Na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau e te Atua, ka tae mai hoki nga wai ki roto ki toku wairua.
2 I sticke fast in the deepe myre, where no staie is: I am come into deepe waters, and the streames runne ouer me.
Ka tapoko ahau ki te oru hohonu, ki te wahi kahore nei he tunga: kua tae ahau ki nga wai hohonu, ngaro iho ahau i nga waipuke.
3 I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
Kua ruwha ahau i taku tangi; kua maroke toku korokoro: pakoko kau oku kanohi i ahau e tatari nei ki toku Atua.
4 They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
Tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa te hunga e mauahara noa ana ki ahau, e mea nei kia whakamatea ahau; utua ana e ahau i reira nga mea kihai i tangohia e ahau.
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
E te Atua, e matau ana koe ki toku kuware; kahore hoki oku he e ngaro i a koe.
6 Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
E te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano kaua te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e whakama i ahau: e te Atua o Iharaira, kei numinumi kau i ahau te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
7 For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
Mou hoki ahau i waiho ai hei tawainga: ngaro iho toku mata i te whakama.
8 I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
He tangata ke ahau ki oku hoa ake: hei tautangata ki nga tama a toku whaea.
9 For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
Ka pau hoki ahau i te aroha ki tou whare: kua tau ano ki ahau nga tawai a te hunga e tawai ana ki a koe.
10 I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
I ahau i tangi, i whakatiki hei whiu i toku wairua, ka waiho tena hei tawainga moku.
11 I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
I kakahu hoki ahau i te kakahu taratara moku, a i waiho hei whakatauki ma ratou.
12 They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkards sang of me.
Kei te korero kino moku te hunga e noho ana i te kuwaha: waiatatia ana ahau e te hunga haurangi waina.
13 But Lord, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
Ko ahau ia, ki a koe taku inoi, e Ihowa, i te wa e manakohia ai: whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua, i runga i te nui o tou aroha, o te pono o tau whakaoranga.
14 Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
Whakaorangia ahau i roto i te oru, kei toremi: kia ora ahau i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, i nga wai hohonu ano hoki.
15 Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
Kei ngaro ahau i te waipuke, kei horomia e te rire; kei kopia ano te waha o te poka ki runga ki ahau.
16 Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
E Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he pai hoki tou atawhai: tahuri mai ki ahau, kia rite ki te nui o au arohatanga.
17 And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
A kaua e huna tou mata ki tau pononga; e pouri ana hoki ahau: hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
18 Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
Whakatata mai ki toku wairua, hokona: whakaorangia ahau, e mahi nei oku hoariri.
19 Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
E matau ana koe ki toku tawainga, ki toku whakama, ki toku numinumi: kei tou aroaro oku hoariri katoa.
20 Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.
Maru noa toku ngakau i te tawai; a ki tonu ahau i te pouri: i titiro ahau ki tetahi hei aroha mai, a kore ake; ki etahi hei whakamarie, a kihai i kitea.
21 For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
I homai he au hei kai maku: i toku matewaitanga ano i whakainumia ahau ki te winika.
22 Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
Kia meinga ta ratou tepu i to ratou aroaro hei mahanga; hei rore hoki i to ratou wa rangimarie.
23 Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kei kite ratou: kia wiri tonu hoki o ratou hope.
24 Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
Ringihia atu tou riri ki runga ki a ratou, kia mau hoki ratou i tou arita, i tou weriweri.
25 Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
Kia ururuatia to ratou nohoanga: kaua tetahi e noho ki o ratou teneti.
26 For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
Mo ratou i tukino i te tangata i whiua nei e koe; a korerotia ana e ratou te pouri o te hunga i werohia e koe.
27 Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
Tapiritia he kino ki runga ki to ratou kino; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tomo ki tou tika.
28 Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
Kia murua atu ratou i te pukapuka o te ora, kaua ano e tuhituhia ki roto ki te hunga tika.
29 When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
Ko ahau ia, he rawakore, he pouri; kia whakateiteitia ake ahau, e te Atua, e tau whakaoranga.
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
Ka whakamoemiti taku waiata ki te ingoa o te Atua, ka whakanui ano taku whakawhetai i a ia.
31 This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
Pai rawa tenei ki a Ihowa i te puru i te kau, i te mea whai haona, whai maikuku.
32 The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
Kua kite te hunga mahaki, kua hari: ka ora ano o koutou ngakau, e te hunga e rapu nei i te Atua.
33 For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
No te mea ka rongo a Ihowa ki nga rawakore, e kore ano e whakahawea ki ana herehere.
34 Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
Kia whakamoemiti te rangi me te whenua ki a ia, nga moana, me nga mea katoa e tere ana i roto.
35 For God will saue Zion, and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
No te mea tera e whakaorangia e te Atua a Hiona, ka hanga ano e ia nga pa o Hura; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ka riro hoki a reira i a ratou.
36 The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.
A ka nohoia a reira e nga uri o ana pononga: hei kainga tupu ano a reira mo te hunga e aroha ana ki tona ingoa.
