Psalms 10
1 Why standest Thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?
He aha koe ka tu mai ai i tawhiti, e Ihowa? ka whakangarongaro ai i nga wa o te he?
2 Through the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued, they are taken in the devices that they have imagined.
E whakakake ana te tangata kino, e tukino ana i te tangata iti: kia hopukina ratou ki nga whakaaro i whakaaro ai ratou.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and the covetous vaunteth himself, though he contemn the LORD.
E whakapehapeha ana hoki te tnngata kino ki te hiahia o tona ngakau, a ko te hunga apo taonga, e whakakahore ana, ae ra, e whakahawea ana ki a Ihowa.
4 The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith: 'He will not require'; all his thoughts are: 'There is no God.'
Ka mea te tangata kino, i te whakapehapeha o tona mata, E kore e hiahiatia e ia. Kei roto i ona whakaaro katoa e mea ana, Kahore he Atua.
5 His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
Whanoke tonu ona ara i nga wa katoa; kei runga noa ake au whakaritenga te kitea e ia, he mea whakatupereru e ia ona hoariri katoa.
6 He saith in his heart: 'I shall not be moved, I who to all generations shall not be in adversity.'
E mea ana i roto i tona ngakau, e kore ahau e whakakorikoria: kahore hoki he he moku a nga whakatupuranga katoa.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Ki tonu tona mangai i te kanga, i te hianga, i te tukino: kei raro i tona arero te whanoke me te teka.
8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in secret places doth he slay the innocent; his eyes are on the watch for the helpless.
E noho ana ia, e whanga ana i nga pa koraha: e kohurutia ana e ia te hunga harakore i nga wahi ngaro; e matatau ana ona kanohi ki te hunga rawakore.
9 He lieth in wait in a secret place as a lion in his lair, he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him up in his net.
E whanga puku ana ia me he raiona i tona kuhunga: e whanga ana kia hopukia te tangata iti: e hopukia ana e ia te tangata iti, ua kumea ki tana. kupenga.
10 He croucheth, he boweth down, and the helpless fall into his mighty claws.
Kupapa ana ia, piko ana, hinga ana te hunga rawakore i ana mea kaha.
11 He hath said in his heart: 'God hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see.'
E mea ana i roto i tona ngakau, Ka wareware te Atua: e huna ana ia i tona mata, e kore ia e kite ake tonu atu.
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Thy hand; forget not the humble.
Whakatika, e Ihowa, e te Atua, takiritia tou ringa: kaua e wareware ki te hunga iti.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, and say in his heart: 'Thou wilt not require'?
He aha te tangata kino ka whakahawea ai ki te Atua? kua mea ia i roto i tona ngakau, E kore tenei e whakatakina e koe.
14 Thou hast seen; for Thou beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite them with Thy hand; unto Thee the helpless committeth himself; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
Kua kite koe; e tirohia nei hoki e koe te whanoke me te whakatoi, a ka utua e tou ringa: e tuku ana te rawakore i a ia ano ki a koe; ko koe hei tuara mo te pani.
15 Break Thou the arm of the wicked; and as for the evil man, search out his wickedness, till none be found.
Whatiia e koe te ringa o te tangata kino; tena ko te tangata nanakia, whakatakina tona kino, kia kahore ra ano e kitea e koe.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations are perished out of His land.
Ko Ihowa te Kingi ake ake: kua kahore ke nga tauiwi i tona whenua.
17 LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt direct their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to attend;
E Ihowa, kua whakarongo koe ki te hiahia o te hunga whakaiti: mau ano o ratou ngakau e whakapai, ka tahuri ano tou taringa ki te whakarongo:
18 To right the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
Ki te whakawa mo te pani, mo te tangata e tukinotia ana, kei whakamataku a mua ake te tangata o te whenua.
