Psalms 72
1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
Na Horomona. Homai, e te Atua, au whakaritenga ki te kingi, me tou tika ki te tama a te kingi.
2 That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
Mana e whakawa tou iwi i runga i te tika, au rawakore i runga i te whakawa tika.
3 Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
Ka kawea mai e nga maunga te rongo mau ki te iwi, e nga pukepuke i runga i te tika.
4 May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
Ka whakawa ia mo nga ware o te iwi: ka whakaorangia e ia nga tamariki a te rawakore; mongamonga noa i a ia te kaitukino.
5 They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
I te ra e mau ana, i te marama hoki, ka pera te mau o to ratou wehi ki a koe i nga whakatupuranga katoa.
6 May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
E heke iho ia ano he ua ki runga ki te kotinga tarutaru, me nga ua e whakamakuku nei i te whenua.
7 In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
Ka tupu te tangata tika i ona ra: tona roa ano o te ata noho, a kore noa te marama.
8 May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.
Ka kingi ia i tenei moana, a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa, a nga pito atu ano o te whenua.
9 Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.
Ka piko ki tona aroaro te hunga o te koraha: a ka mitimiti ona hoariri i te puehu.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Ka maua mai he hakari e nga kingi o Tarahihi, o nga motu: ka kawea mai he tahua e nga kingi o Hepa, o Tepa.
11 Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
Ae, ka koropiko nga kingi katoa ki a ia: ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
12 For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
Ka ora hoki i a ia te rawakore ua tangi atu, te ware hoki me te tangata kahore nei ona kaiawhina.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
E tohu ia i te tangata iti, i te rawakore; ka ora ano i a ia nga wairua o nga rawakore.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight;
Ka hokona e ia to ratou wairua i roto i te tukino, i te tutu, he mea utu nui hoki o ratou toto ki tana titiro.
15 That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
A e ora ratou; ka hoatu ano ki a ia he koura no Hepa: ka tukua tonutia hoki te inoi mona; ka whakapaingia ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
16 May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
He kutanga witi tera i runga i te whenua, i te tihi o nga maunga; ngarue ana ona hua, ano ko Repanona, a ka rite te tupu o nga tangata o te pa ki to te tarutaru o te whenua.
17 May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
Ka mau tonu tona ingoa ake ake; ka rite tona ingoa ki te ra te pumau: kei roto i a ia te manaaki mo te tangata; ka korerotia tona koa e nga iwi katoa.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua, te Atua o Iharaira: ko ia nei anake hei mahi i nga mahi whakamiharo;
19 And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
Kia whakapaingia ano tona ingoa kororia mo ake tonu atu; kia ki katoa hoki te whenua i tona kororia. Amine, ae Amine.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Ko te mutunga tenei o nga inoi a Rawiri, a te tama a Hehe.
