Psalms 74
1 A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
He Makiri na Ahapa. E te Atua, he aha i panga ai matou e koe ake ake? He aha i pongere ai tou riri ki nga hipi o tau mara?
2 Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Mahara ki tau whakaminenga i hokona e koe i mua, i utua e koe hei iwi mo tou kainga tupu; a ki tenei Maunga Hiona i nohoia nei e koe.
3 Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
Hiki ake ou waewae ki nga whakangaromanga e mau tonu nei, ki nga mahi kino katoa a te hoariri ki te wahi tapu.
4 Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
Kua hamama nei ou hoariri i waenganui i au whakaminenga, kua whakaturia e ratou a ratou kara hei tohu.
5 He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
E rite ana ratou ki nga tangata e hapai ana i te titaha ki te puia rakau.
6 But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
Inaianei ia e tukitukia ana e ratou ona mea whakairo, pakaruhia iho ana ki te titaha, ki te hama.
7 They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
Kua toua tou wahi tapu ki te kapura, kua noa i a ratou te nohoanga o tou ingoa, kei te whenua e takoto ana.
8 They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.
I mea to ratou ngakau, Me whakangaro ratou a poto ake: kua tahuna e ratou nga whare huihui katoa o te Atua i te whenua.
9 We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
Kahore matou e kite i o matou tohu, kahore atu he poropiti, kahore hoki tetahi o matou e matau ana kia pehea ake te roa.
10 O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
E te Atua, kia pehea ake te roa o te tawai a te hoariri? Ka kohukohu tonu ranei te hoariri ki tou ingoa ake ake?
11 Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
He aha i pepeke ai tou ringa, tou matau? Unuhia i roto i tou uma, whakamotitia ratou.
12 Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
Ko te Atua ia toku Kingi o tua iho, e mahi whakaora ana i waenganui i te whenua.
13 Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Nau, na tou kaha i wawae te moana: pakaru ana i a koe nga matenga o nga tarakona i nga wai.
14 Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
Mongamonga noa i a koe nga matenga o rewiatana: a hoatu ana ia e koe hei kai ma te iwi o te koraha.
15 Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
I wahia e koe te puna me te roma; mimiti ake i a koe nga awa nunui.
16 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
Nau te ao, nau hoki te po; nau i whakarite te marama me te ra.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Nau i whakatu nga rohe katoa o te whenua: te raumati me te hotoke, he mea whakarite ena nau.
18 Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
Kia mahara ki tenei, kua tawai te hoariri, e Ihowa: kua kohukohu te hunga poauau ki tou ingoa.
19 Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
Kaua e tukua te wairua o tau kukupa ki te kirehe: kei wareware ake ake ki te whakaminenga o au rawakore.
20 Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
Whakaaroa te kawenata; kua kiki hoki nga wahi pouri o te whenua i nga nohoanga nanakia.
21 Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
Kei hoki whakama mai te tangata e tukinotia ana: kia whakamoemititia tou ingoa e te ware, e te rawakore.
22 Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
E ara, e te Atua, tohea tau tohe: mahara ki ta te tangata poauau tawai ki a koe a pau noa te ra.
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
Kei wareware ki te reo o ou hoariri: e kake tonu ana te ngangau a te hunga e whakatika ana ki a koe.
