Psalms 69
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the soul.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Hohanimi. Na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau e te Atua, ka tae mai hoki nga wai ki roto ki toku wairua.
2 I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood has overflown me.
Ka tapoko ahau ki te oru hohonu, ki te wahi kahore nei he tunga: kua tae ahau ki nga wai hohonu, ngaro iho ahau i nga waipuke.
3 I have been wearied with my calling, My throat has been burned, My eyes have been consumed, waiting for my God.
Kua ruwha ahau i taku tangi; kua maroke toku korokoro: pakoko kau oku kanohi i ahau e tatari nei ki toku Atua.
4 Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I did not take away—I bring back.
Tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa te hunga e mauahara noa ana ki ahau, e mea nei kia whakamatea ahau; utua ana e ahau i reira nga mea kihai i tangohia e ahau.
5 O God, You have known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations have not been hid from You.
E te Atua, e matau ana koe ki toku kuware; kahore hoki oku he e ngaro i a koe.
6 Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me, O Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Do not let those seeking You Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
E te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano kaua te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e whakama i ahau: e te Atua o Iharaira, kei numinumi kau i ahau te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
7 For because of You I have borne reproach, Shame has covered my face.
Mou hoki ahau i waiho ai hei tawainga: ngaro iho toku mata i te whakama.
8 I have been a stranger to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
He tangata ke ahau ki oku hoa ake: hei tautangata ki nga tama a toku whaea.
9 For [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of Your reproachers Have fallen on me.
Ka pau hoki ahau i te aroha ki tou whare: kua tau ano ki ahau nga tawai a te hunga e tawai ana ki a koe.
10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
I ahau i tangi, i whakatiki hei whiu i toku wairua, ka waiho tena hei tawainga moku.
11 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am for an allegory to them.
I kakahu hoki ahau i te kakahu taratara moku, a i waiho hei whakatauki ma ratou.
12 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
Kei te korero kino moku te hunga e noho ana i te kuwaha: waiatatia ana ahau e te hunga haurangi waina.
13 And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Your kindness, Answer me in the truth of Your salvation.
Ko ahau ia, ki a koe taku inoi, e Ihowa, i te wa e manakohia ai: whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua, i runga i te nui o tou aroha, o te pono o tau whakaoranga.
14 Deliver me from the mire, and do not let me sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
Whakaorangia ahau i roto i te oru, kei toremi: kia ora ahau i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, i nga wai hohonu ano hoki.
15 Do not let a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth on me.
Kei ngaro ahau i te waipuke, kei horomia e te rire; kei kopia ano te waha o te poka ki runga ki ahau.
16 Answer me, O YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good, Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies,
E Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he pai hoki tou atawhai: tahuri mai ki ahau, kia rite ki te nui o au arohatanga.
17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress—hurry, answer me.
A kaua e huna tou mata ki tau pononga; e pouri ana hoki ahau: hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
18 Be near to my soul—redeem it, Ransom me because of my enemies.
Whakatata mai ki toku wairua, hokona: whakaorangia ahau, e mahi nei oku hoariri.
19 You have known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, All my adversaries [are] before You.
E matau ana koe ki toku tawainga, ki toku whakama, ki toku numinumi: kei tou aroaro oku hoariri katoa.
20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
Maru noa toku ngakau i te tawai; a ki tonu ahau i te pouri: i titiro ahau ki tetahi hei aroha mai, a kore ake; ki etahi hei whakamarie, a kihai i kitea.
21 And they give gall for my food, And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst.
I homai he au hei kai maku: i toku matewaitanga ano i whakainumia ahau ki te winika.
22 Their table before them is for a snare, And for a repayment—for a trap.
Kia meinga ta ratou tepu i to ratou aroaro hei mahanga; hei rore hoki i to ratou wa rangimarie.
23 Their eyes are darkened from seeing, And their loins continually shake You.
Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kei kite ratou: kia wiri tonu hoki o ratou hope.
24 Pour Your indignation on them, And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them.
Ringihia atu tou riri ki runga ki a ratou, kia mau hoki ratou i tou arita, i tou weriweri.
25 Their tower is desolated, There is no dweller in their tents.
Kia ururuatia to ratou nohoanga: kaua tetahi e noho ki o ratou teneti.
26 For they have pursued him [whom] You have struck, And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones.
Mo ratou i tukino i te tangata i whiua nei e koe; a korerotia ana e ratou te pouri o te hunga i werohia e koe.
27 Give punishment for their iniquity, And they do not enter into Your righteousness.
Tapiritia he kino ki runga ki to ratou kino; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tomo ki tou tika.
28 They are blotted out of the scroll of life, And are not written with the righteous.
Kia murua atu ratou i te pukapuka o te ora, kaua ano e tuhituhia ki roto ki te hunga tika.
29 And I [am] afflicted and pained, Your salvation, O God, sets me on high.
Ko ahau ia, he rawakore, he pouri; kia whakateiteitia ake ahau, e te Atua, e tau whakaoranga.
30 I praise the Name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
Ka whakamoemiti taku waiata ki te ingoa o te Atua, ka whakanui ano taku whakawhetai i a ia.
31 And it is better to YHWH than an ox, A bullock—horned [and] hoofed.
Pai rawa tenei ki a Ihowa i te puru i te kau, i te mea whai haona, whai maikuku.
32 The humble have seen—they rejoice, You who seek God—and your heart lives.
Kua kite te hunga mahaki, kua hari: ka ora ano o koutou ngakau, e te hunga e rapu nei i te Atua.
33 For YHWH listens to the needy, And He has not despised His bound ones.
No te mea ka rongo a Ihowa ki nga rawakore, e kore ano e whakahawea ki ana herehere.
34 The heavens and earth praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
Kia whakamoemiti te rangi me te whenua ki a ia, nga moana, me nga mea katoa e tere ana i roto.
35 For God saves Zion, And builds the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
No te mea tera e whakaorangia e te Atua a Hiona, ka hanga ano e ia nga pa o Hura; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ka riro hoki a reira i a ratou.
36 And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His Name dwell in it!
A ka nohoia a reira e nga uri o ana pononga: hei kainga tupu ano a reira mo te hunga e aroha ana ki tona ingoa.
