< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.
2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
Whakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
Whakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.
Whakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, For he commanded, and they were created.
Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Nana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;
9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;
10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:
11 kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:
12 both young men and maidens; old men and children:
E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:
13 let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Kia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
