Psalms 89
1 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; to all generations will I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth.
He Makiri na Etana Eterahi. Ka waiatatia e ahau nga mahi tohu a Ihowa ake ake: ka whakapuakina e toku mangai tou pono ki nga whakatupuranga katoa.
2 For I have said: 'For ever is mercy built; in the very heavens Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness.
I mea hoki ahau, Ka hanga ake te mahi tohu mo ake tonu atu: ka whakapumautia e koe tou pono ki nga tino rangi ra ano.
3 I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant:
Kua whakarite kawenata ahau ki taku i whiriwhiri ai: kua oati ki taku pononga ki a Rawiri;
4 For ever will I establish thy seed, and build up thy throne to all generations.' (Selah)
Ka pumau i ahau ou uri ake ake: ka hanga tou torona ki nga whakatupuranga katoa. (Hera)
5 So shall the heavens praise Thy wonders, O LORD, Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
Ka whakamoemiti ano nga rangi, e Ihowa, ki au mahi whakamiharo; ki tou pono hoki i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga tapu.
6 For who in the skies can be compared unto the LORD, who among the sons of might can be likened unto the LORD,
Ko wai oti i nga rangi hei rite mo Ihowa? Ko wai i roto i nga tama a te hunga nunui e rite ana ki a Ihowa?
7 A God dreaded in the great council of the holy ones, and feared of all them that are about Him?
He Atua whakamataku rawa i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga tapu, e wehingia ana i runga ake i a ratou katoa i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha ona?
8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like unto Thee, O LORD? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.
E Ihowa, e te Atua o nga mano, ko wai te mea kaha hei rite mou, e IHA? Hei rite ranei mo tou pono i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha?
9 Thou rulest the proud swelling of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.
Ko koe te kingi o te huamo o te moana: ka oho ona ngaru, ko koe hei whakamarino.
10 Thou didst crush Rahab, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter Thine enemies with the arm of Thy strength.
Mongamonga noa i a koe a Rahapa ano he tangata i patua: marara ana i a koe, i tou ringa kaha ou hoariri.
11 Thine are the heavens, Thine also the earth; the world and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.
Nau nga rangi, nau te whenua: te ao me ona mea e hua ana i runga, nau ena i pumau ai.
12 The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Thy name.
Ko te raki me te tonga nau ena i hanga: ka hari a Taporo raua ko Heremona ki tou ingoa.
13 Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.
He takakau marohirohi tou: he pakari tou ringa, rewa tonu tou matau ki runga.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; mercy and truth go before Thee.
Ko te tika me te whakawa te turanga o tou torona: e haere ana te mahi tohu me te pono i mua i tou aroaro.
15 Happy is the people that know the joyful shout; they walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance.
Ka hari te iwi e mohio ana ki te tangi whakahari: e haere ana ratou, e Ihowa, i te marama o tou mata.
16 In Thy name do they rejoice all the day; and through Thy righteousness are they exalted.
E hari ana ratou ki tou ingoa i te roa o te ra: a ma tou tika ka kake ai ratou.
17 For Thou art the glory of their strength; and in Thy favour our horn is exalted.
Ko koe hoki te kororia o to ratou kaha: ma tau manako ano ka ara ai to matou haona.
18 For of the LORD is our shield; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
Na Ihowa hoki to matou whakangungu rakau: a na te Mea Tapu o Iharaira to tatou kingi.
19 Then Thou spokest in vision to Thy godly ones, and saidst: 'I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
I korero moemoea koe i reira ki tau Mea Tapu, i mea, Kua hoatu e ahau he kaha ki runga ki tetahi marohirohi; kua whakanuia e ahau tetahi i whiriwhiria i roto i te iwi.
20 I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him;
Kua kitea e ahau taku pononga, a Rawiri: kua whakawahia ia e ahau ki taku hinu tapu:
21 With whom My hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.
Ka u atu toku ringa hei awhina mona: ma toku takakau ano ia e whakakaha.
22 The enemy shall not exact from him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
E kore te hoariri e whai wahi ki a ia: e kore ano hoki te tama a te kino e tukino i a ia.
23 And I will beat to pieces his adversaries before him, and smite them that hate him.
Maku e tukituki ona hoariri ki tona aroaro: ka whiua e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.
24 But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him; and through My name shall his horn be exalted.
Otira ka mau ki a ia toku pono me taku mahi tohu: a ma toku ingoa ka ara ai tona haona.
25 I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
Maku ano tona ringa ka pa ai ki te moana: tona matau ki nga awa.
26 He shall call unto Me: Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
Ka karanga ia ki ahau, Ko koe toku Papa, toku Atua, te kohatu o toku whakaoranga.
27 I also will appoint him first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth.
Ka waiho ano ia hei matamua maku ki runga ake i nga kingi o te whenua.
28 For ever will I keep for him My mercy, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.
Ka rongoatia e ahau taku mahi tohu mona ake tonu atu: ka mau tonu taku kawenata ki a ia.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
Ka meinga hoki e ahau ona uri kia mau tonu ake ake, tona torona ano ko nga ra o te rangi.
30 If his children forsake My law, and walk not in Mine ordinances;
Ki te whakarerea e ana tamariki taku ture, a kahore e haere i aku whakaritenga;
31 If they profane My statutes, and keep not My commandments;
Ki te takahi ratou i aku tikanga; a kahore e pupuri i aku whakahau;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with strokes.
Katahi ka whaia ta ratou mahi tutu e taku rakau, o ratou kino e te whiu.
33 But My mercy will I not break off from him, nor will I be false to My faithfulness.
Otira e kore e tangohia rawatia e ahau taku mahi tohu i a ia, e tuku ranei i toku pono kia he.
34 My covenant will I not profane, nor alter that which is gone out of My lips.
E kore taku kawenata e takahia e ahau, e kore ano e whakarereketia te mea i puta i oku ngutu.
35 Once have I sworn by My holiness: Surely I will not be false unto David;
Kotahi aku oatitanga i toku tapu; e kore ahau e teka ki a Rawiri.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.
Ka mau tonu tona uri ake ake; a ka rite tona torona ki te ra i toku aroaro.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon; and be stedfast as the witness in sky.' (Selah)
Ka rite tona pumau ki to te marama ake ake: hei kaiwhakaatu pono ano i runga i te rangi. (Hera)
38 But Thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed.
Na kua panga nei koe, kua whakarihariha, kua riri ki tau i whakawahi ai.
39 Thou hast abhorred the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.
Kua weriweri koe ki te kawenata ki tau pononga: kua whakanoaia e koe tona karauna, taka noa ki te whenua.
40 Thou hast broken down all his fences; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
Kua pakaruhia e koe ona taiepa katoa; whakamotitia iho e koe ona pa kaha.
41 All that pass by the way spoil him; he is become a taunt to his neighbours.
E pahua ana i a ia nga tangata katoa e tika ana i te ara: he tawainga ia na ona hoa tata.
42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
Kua whakarewaina e koe te ringa matau o ona hoa whawhai: kua meinga e koe kia hari ona hoa whawhai katoa.
43 Yea, Thou turnest back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
Ae, e ngore ana i a koe te mata o tana hoari: kihai ano koe i tautoko i a ia ki te tatauranga.
44 Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
Kua whakamutua e koe tona kororia, kua maka tona torona ki raro ki te whenua.
45 The days of his youth hast Thou shortened; Thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
Kua poroa e koe nga ra o tona taitamarikitanga: kua hipokina ia e koe ki te whakama. (Hera)
46 How long, O LORD, wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? How long shall Thy wrath burn like fire?
Kia pehea te roa, e Ihowa, e whakangaro ai koe i a koe, ake tonu atu? Kia pehea te roa e toro ana tou riri ano he ahi?
47 O remember how short my time is; for what vanity hast Thou created all the children of men!
Kia mahara ki te poto rawa o toku taima: he aha i hanga ai e koe nga tangata katoa hei kore noa iho?
48 What man is he that liveth and shall not see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Ko wai tena tangata e ora nei, a e kore e kite i te mate? E mawhiti koia i a ia tona wairua i te kaha o te reinga? (Hera) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where are Thy former mercies, O Lord, which Thou didst swear unto David in Thy faithfulness?
E te Ariki, kei hea au arohatanga o mua i oatitia ai e koe ki a Rawiri i runga i tou pono?
50 Remember, Lord, the taunt of Thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the taunt of so many peoples;
Maharatia, e te Ariki, te tawai ki au pononga; e mau nei ki toku uma te tawai a nga iwi nunui katoa:
51 Wherewith Thine enemies have taunted, O LORD, wherewith they have taunted the footsteps of Thine anointed.
Te tawai a ou hoariri, e Ihowa, ta ratou tawai nei ki nga hikoinga o tau i whakawahi ai.
52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa ake ake. Amine, ae Amine.
