Psalms 68
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David, a Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Him flee before Him.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. Kia ara te Atua, kia marara ona hoariri: kia whati hoki i tona aroaro te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Aia atu ratou, peratia me te paowa e aia ana: kia rite ki te ware pi e rewa ana i te kapura te ngaromanga o te hunga kino i te aroaro o te Atua.
3 But let the righteous be glad, let them exult before God; yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Kia koa ia te hunga tika; kia hari i te aroaro o te Atua: ae ra, kia tino hari pu ratou.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to His name; extol Him that rideth upon the skies, whose name is the LORD; and exult ye before Him.
Waiata ki te Atua, himenetia tona ingoa; opehia ake he huanui mo tana hariata i nga koraha; tona ingoa ko IHA; kia hari hoki ki tona aroaro.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
Hei matua mo nga pani, hei kaiwhakarite mo nga pouaru, te Atua i tona nohoanga tapu.
6 God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house; He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; the rebellious dwell but in a parched land.
E whakanohoia ana e te Atua te mokemoke ki te whare; e whakaputaina ana e ia nga herehere ki te ora: ko te hunga tutu ia e noho i te wahi waikore.
7 O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
E te Atua, i tou haerenga atu i mua i tau iwi: i tou haerenga i te koraha; (Hera)
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
I wiri te whenua, i tuturu iho ano nga rangi i te aroaro o te Atua; me taua Hinai ano i te aroaro o te Atua, o te Atua o Iharaira.
9 A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O God; when Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it.
I taia mai, e koe, e te Atua, he ua nui; a i tou kainga e ruwha ana ka whakaukia e koe.
10 Thy flock settled therein; Thou didst prepare in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
I noho tau whakaminenga ki reira: na tou pai, e te Atua, i mea kai ai koe ma nga rawakore.
11 The Lord giveth the word; the women that proclaim the tidings are a great host.
Ka homai e Ihowa te kupu: he ope nui nga wahine whakapuaki.
12 Kings of armies flee, they flee; and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
Whati rawa nga kingi o nga taua: a ko te wahine i noho i te whare, kei te tuwha i nga parakete.
13 When ye lie among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her pinions with the shimmer of gold.
I a koutou ka takoto noa i nga takotoranga hipi, he rite ki nga pakau o te kukupa kua paparuatia nei ki te hiriwa, ona hou ki te koura whero.
14 When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, it snoweth in Zalmon.
I te whakamararatanga a te Kaha Rawa i nga kingi i reira, koia ano kei te hukarere o Taramono te ma.
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
He maunga Atua a Maunga Pahana; he maunga tiketike a Maunga Pahana.
16 Why look ye askance, ye mountains of peaks, at the mountain which God hath desired for His abode? Yea, the LORD will dwell therein for ever.
He aha koutou ka titiro titaha ai, e nga maunga tiketike, ki te maunga i hiahiatia nei e te Atua kia nohoia e ia? ae, ka nohoia e Ihowa ake ake.
17 The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in holiness.
Ko nga hariata a te Atua, e rua tekau mano, mano mano iho; kei roto i a ratou te Ariki, me te mea ko Hinai, ko te wahi tapu.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
Kua kake koe ki runga, kua whakaraua e koe te whakarau: kua riro i a koe he ohaoha mo te tangata; ae, mo te hunga tutu ano, kia noho ai a Ihowa, te Atua ki a ratou.
19 Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, e whakawaha nei i ta tatou pikaunga i tenei ra, i tenei ra, te Atua o to tatou whakaoranga. (Hera)
20 God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues of death.
Ko to tatou Atua te Atua o te whakaoranga: na Ihowa ano, na te Ariki, nga putanga ake i te mate.
21 Surely God will smite through the head of His enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth about in his guiltiness.
Ka maru ia i te Atua te matenga o ona hoariri: me te tumuaki huruhuru o te tangata e haere tonu ana i ana kino.
22 The Lord said: 'I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;
I mea te Ariki, Ka whakahokia mai e ahau i Pahana, ka whakahokia mai e ahau taku iwi i nga rire o te moana:
23 That thy foot may wade through blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.'
Kia toua ai tou waewae ki te toto, kia whiwhi ai te arero o au kuri ki tana wahi o ou hoariri.
24 They see Thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, in holiness.
I kite ratou, e te Atua, i ou haerenga, i nga haerenga o toku Atua, o toku Kingi, i te wahi tapu.
25 The singers go before, the minstrels follow after, in the midst of damsels playing upon timbrels.
Ko nga kaiwaiata i haere i mua, i muri ko nga kaiwhakatangi, i waenganui o nga kotiro e patupatu ana i nga timipera.
26 'Bless ye God in full assemblies, even the Lord, ye that are from the fountain of Israel.'
Whakapaingia te Atua i roto i nga whakaminenga, te Ariki hoki, e nga mea i puta mai i te matapuna o Iharaira.
27 There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah their council, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
Kei reira a Pineamine, te whakaotinga, to ratou ariki, nga rangatira o Hura, me to ratou ropu, nga rangatira o Hepurona, me nga rangatira o Napatari.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength; be strong, O God, Thou that hast wrought for us
Kua oti he kaha mou te whakahau iho e tou Atua: whakaukia, e te Atua, tau i mea ai mo matou.
29 Out of Thy temple at Jerusalem, whither kings shall bring presents unto Thee.
Ka maua mai e nga kingi he hakari ki a koe, mo tou temepara i Hiruharama.
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, every one submitting himself with pieces of silver; He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war!
Riria te kirehe o nga kakaho, te huinga puru, me nga kuao kau a nga iwi, me te takahi i nga pihi hiriwa ki raro: whakamararatia nga iwi e ahuareka ana ki te whainga.
31 Nobles shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands unto God.
E puta mai nga rangatira i Ihipa: meake hohoro te totoro o nga ringa o Etiopia ki te Atua.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
Waiata ki te Atua, e nga rangatiratanga o te whenua: himene ki te Ariki: (Hera)
33 To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; lo, He uttereth His voice, a mighty voice.
Ki a ia, ko tona hariata nei ko nga rangi o nga rangi, nonamata: na, ka puaki tona reo, he reo kaha.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God; His majesty is over Israel, and His strength is in the skies.
Waiho te kaha i te Atua, kei runga nei i a Iharaira tana mahi rangatira: kei nga kapua hoki tona kaha.
35 Awful is God out of thy holy places; the God of Israel, He giveth strength and power unto the people; blessed be God.
Ka wehingia koe, e te Atua, i roto i ou wahi tapu: ko te Atua o Iharaira te kaihomai i te kaha, i te mana, ki tona iwi. Whakapaingia te Atua.
