Psalms 22
1 For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Airete Hahara. He himene na Rawiri. E toku Atua, e toku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau? he aha koe i matara atu ai ki te whakaora i ahau i nga kupu hoki o taku hamama?
2 O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
E toku Atua, e karanga nei ahau i te awatea, heoi kahore koe e rongo, i te po ano kahore ahau e wahangu.
3 Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
Otiia he tapu koe, kei nga whakamoemiti a Iharaira tou nohoanga.
4 In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
I whakawhirinaki o matou matua ki a koe, i whakawhirinaki, a whakaorangia ana e koe.
5 Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
I karanga ratou ki a koe, a kua ora; i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, a kihai i whakama.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Ko ahau ia he toke, ehara i te tangata: e tawaia ana e te tangata, e whakahaweatia ana e te iwi.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
Kataina iho ahau e te hunga katoa e kite ana i ahau, ko ana o ratou ngutu, ruru ana o ratou matenga, e ki mai ana,
8 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
Tukua atu koe ki a Ihowa, mana ia e whakaora: mana ia e whakaora, e pai ana hoki ia ki a ia.
9 For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
Nau ia ahau i whakawhanau mai i roto i te kopu, i mea hoki kia tumanako, i ahau i nga u o toku whaea.
10 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
He mea whakarere atu ahau ki runga ki a koe no te kopu mai; ko koe toku Atua no te kopu mai ano o toku whaea.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
Kei mamao atu i ahau, e tata ana hoki te he, kahore hoki he kaiawhina.
12 Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
He tini nga puru e karapoti nei i ahau: e whakapaea ana ahau e nga mea kaha o Pahana.
13 They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
E hamama ana o ratou mangai ki ahau, ano he raiona e haehae ana, e hamama ana.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.
Kua ringihia ahau, ano he wai, kua takoki katoa oku iwi; me te ware pi toku ngakau, e rewa ana i waenganui i oku whekau.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.
Kua maroke toku kaha, ano he maramara rihi, piri tonu toku arero ki oku kauae; kua whakatakotoria ano ahau e koe ki te puehu o te mate.
16 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.
Kua karapotia nei hoki ahau e te kirehe, kua muia e te whakaminenga o nga tangata hara: kua pokaia e ratou oku ringa me oku waewae.
17 I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
E taea e ahau te tatau oku iwi katoa: e titiro mai ana ratou, e matakitaki ana ki ahau.
18 They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.
E wehewehea ana oku kakahu mo ratou, e maka rota ana mo toku weruweru.
19 But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.
Kaua ra ia koe e matara atu, e Ihowa; e toku kaha, hohoro mai hei awhina moku.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.
Whakaorangia toku wairua i te hoari, taku hoki e matenui nei i te kuri.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.
Whakaorangia ahau i te mangai o te raiona: ae, i nga haona o nga kau maka kua whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau.
22 I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.
Ka korerotia e ahau tou ingoa ki oku teina, ka whakamoemititia koe e ahau i waenganui i te whakaminenga.
23 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
E te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowa, whakamoemiti ki a ia; whakakororiatia ia, e te uri katoa o Hakopa, kia wehi hoki ki a ia, e te uri katoa o Iharaira.
24 For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'
Kihai hoki ia i whakahawea, kihai i whakarihariha ki te aue o te ngakau mamae; kihai ano i huna i tona mata ki a ia, engari i tana karangatanga ki a ia i whakarongo ia.
25 From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.
Ko koe taku e whakamoemiti ai i waenganui o te whakaminenga nui, ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki te aroaro o te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia.
26 Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!
Ka kai te hunga mahaki, a ka makona: ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa te hunga e rapu ana ki a ia; kia ora tonu o koutou ngakau, ake, ake.
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.
E mahara nga pito katoa o te whenua, a ka tahuri ki a Ihowa: ka koropiko ano nga hapu katoa o nga iwi ki tou aroaro.
28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S; and He is the ruler over the nations.
No Ihowa hokite rangatiratanga, ko ia ano te kawana i waenganui o nga iwi.
29 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
Ka kai, a ka koropiko nga tangata tetere katoa o te whenua: ka tuohu ki tona aroaro te hunga katoa e heke ana ki te puehu; tae no ki te tangata kahore e ora i a ia tona wairua.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
Tera e mahi tetahi uri ki a ia; ka waiho ki te Ariki hei whakatupuranga.
31 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.
E haere mai ratou, e kauwhau i tona tika ki te iwi e whanau a mua, he meatanga tenei nana.
