Psalms 48
1 Great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
He waiata, he himene ma nga tama a Koraha. He nui a Ihowa, kia nui hoki te whakamoemiti ki a ia i te pa o to tatou Atua, i te maunga o tona tapu.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], on the north sides, the city of the great King.
Ataahua ana te tairanga o Maunga Hiona, ko ta te ao katoa e koa ai: kei te taha ki te raki te pa o te Kingi nui.
3 In its citadels God has revealed himself as a strong defense.
E matauria ana te Atua i roto i ona whare papai hei piringa.
4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
Na, huihui tahi mai ana nga kingi haere tahi atu ana ratou.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
I kite ratou, miharo iho: raruraru ana, hohoro tonu atu.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
Pa ana te wehi ki a ratou i reira, te mamae, ano he wahine e whanau ana.
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
E wahia ana e koe nga kaipuke o Tarahihi ki te marangai.
8 As we have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, so we have seen, in the city of Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
Rite tonu ki ta matou i rongo ai, ta matou i kite ai i roto i te pa o Ihowa o nga mano, i te pa o to tatou Atua: ma te Atua e whakapumau ake ake. (Hera)
9 We have thought about your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, God, in the middle of your temple.
I whakaaroaro matou ki tou atawhai, e te Atua, i waenganui o tou temepara.
10 As is your name, God, so is your tehilah ·praise song· to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
E te Atua, rite tahi ki tou ingoa te whakamoemiti mou, tae noa atu ki nga pito o te whenua: ki tonu tou matau i te tika.
11 Let Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be glad! Let the daughters of Judah [Praised] rejoice, Because of your judgments.
Kia hari a Maunga Hiona, kia koa nga tamahine a Hura i au whakaritenga.
12 Walk about Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and go around her. Number its towers.
Taiawhiotia a Hiona, haere, a kopiko noa mai: taua ona pourewa.
13 Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
Maharatia ona pekerangi, tirohia ona whare papai; hei korerotanga ma koutou ki enei ake whakatupuranga.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
Ko tenei Atua hoki te Atua mo tatou ake ake: ko ia hei kaiarahi i a tatou a mate noa.
