Psalms 75
1 “To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, a psalm or song of Asaph.” We give thanks unto thee, O God, we give thanks, and nigh is thy name: men relate thy wondrous deeds.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Aratakiti. He himene, he waiata na Ahapa. Ka whakawhetai tonu matou ki a koe, e te Atua; ka whakawhetai tonu matou, kei te tata mai hoki tou ingoa: e korerotia ana e te tangata au mahi whakamiharo.
2 “For I will take up a fixed time when I will judge uprightly.
Ka kitea e ahau te wa e rite ana, ka tika taku whakawa.
3 The earth and all her inhabitants are melting away: I myself establish firmly her pillars.” (Selah)
Kuteretere noa iho te whenua me ona tangata katoa; naku i whakatu ona pou. (Hera)
4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.
I mea ahau ki te hunga whakakake, Kati ra te whakakake; ki te hunga hara ano, Kaua e whakaarahia te haona.
5 Lift not up on high your horn, speak not with a stiffly erect neck.
Kaua to koutou haona e whakaarahia ki runga: kati te whakamaro i te kaki ina korero.
6 For neither from the rising [of the sun], nor from [his] setting, nor from the wilderness of mountains [cometh this];
No te mea kahore he aranga i te rawhiti, kahore i te hauauru, kahore hoki i te tonga.
7 But God is the judge: he lowereth one, and lifteth up another,
Ko te Atua ia te kaiwhakawa; ko tenei e whakaititia iho ana e ia, ko tera e whakaarahia ake ana.
8 For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foameth, it is full of mixture: and he poureth out of the same; but its lees they drain, they drink—all the wicked of the earth.
Kei te ringa hoki o Ihowa he kapu, pahuka tonu te waina; ki tonu, whakananu rawa, hei ringihanga mana: ko nga nganga ia, ma te hunga kino katoa o te whenua e tatau, e inu.
9 But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Ko ahau ia, ka kauwhau tonu: ka himene ki te Atua o Hakopa.
10 And all the horns of the wicked will I hew off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
A ka kotia e ahau nga haona katoa o te hunga kino: ka whakaarahia ake ia nga haona o te tangata tika.
