Psalms 89
1 An Instructive Psalm, by Ethan the Ezrahite. The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, age-abidingly will I sing, To generation after generation, 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 said, To times age-abiding, shall lovingkindness be built up, As for the heavens, thou wilt establish thy faithfulness therein.
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 solemnised a covenant, for my chosen one, 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 Unto times age-abiding, will I establish thy seed, And will build up, unto generation after generation, thy throne. (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 wondrousness, O Yahweh, —Yea, thy faithfulness, in the convocation of 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 whom, in the skies, can one compare unto Yahweh? [Or] can one liken unto Yahweh, among the sons of the mighty?
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 inspiring awe in the circle of the holy ones, exceedingly, And to be reverenced above all who are round 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 Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness 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 over the swelling of the sea, When the rolling waves thereof lift themselves, Thou, dost bid them be still:
Ko koe te kingi o te huamo o te moana: ka oho ona ngaru, ko koe hei whakamarino.
10 Thou, hast crushed—as one slain—Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.
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, Yea, thine, the earth, The world and the fulness thereof, Thou, didst found 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, didst create them, —Tabor and Hermon, with thy Name, shall shout for joy:
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, High is thy right hand;
He takakau marohirohi tou: he pakari tou ringa, rewa tonu tou matau ki runga.
14 Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of thy throne, Lovingkindness and faithfulness, go before thy face.
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 How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;
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, shall they exult all the day, And, in thy righteousness, shall they be exalted.
E hari ana ratou ki tou ingoa i te roa o te ra: a ma tou tika ka kake ai ratou.
17 For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.
Ko koe hoki te kororia o to ratou kaha: ma tau manako ano ka ara ai to matou haona.
18 For, to Yahweh, belongeth our Shield, And, to the Holy One of Israel, belongeth our King.
Na Ihowa hoki to matou whakangungu rakau: a na te Mea Tapu o Iharaira to tatou kingi.
19 Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst—I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among 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 mine own 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 firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;
Ka u atu toku ringa hei awhina mona: ma toku takakau ano ia e whakakaha.
22 No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate 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 shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite;
Maku e tukituki ona hoariri ki tona aroaro: ka whiua e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.
24 And, my faithfulness and my lovingkindness, shall be with him, And, in my Name, exalted shall be his horn;
Otira ka mau ki a ia toku pono me taku mahi tohu: a ma toku ingoa ka ara ai tona haona.
25 And I will set, in the sea, his hand, And, in the rivers, his right hand;
Maku ano tona ringa ka pa ai ki te moana: tona matau ki nga awa.
26 He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation!
Ka karanga ia ki ahau, Ko koe toku Papa, toku Atua, te kohatu o toku whakaoranga.
27 Yea, I, will appoint him, firstborn, Most High to the kings of the earth!
Ka waiho ano ia hei matamua maku ki runga ake i nga kingi o te whenua.
28 Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;
Ka rongoatia e ahau taku mahi tohu mona ake tonu atu: ka mau tonu taku kawenata ki a ia.
29 Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
Ka meinga hoki e ahau ona uri kia mau tonu ake ake, tona torona ano ko nga ra o te rangi.
30 If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk;
Ki te whakarerea e ana tamariki taku ture, a kahore e haere i aku whakaritenga;
31 If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep:
Ki te takahi ratou i aku tikanga; a kahore e pupuri i aku whakahau;
32 Then will I punish, with a rod, their transgression; And, with stripes, their iniquity:
Katahi ka whaia ta ratou mahi tutu e taku rakau, o ratou kino e te whiu.
33 But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify 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 I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter:
E kore taku kawenata e takahia e ahau, e kore ano e whakarereketia te mea i puta i oku ngutu.
35 One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie;
Kotahi aku oatitanga i toku tapu; e kore ahau e teka ki a Rawiri.
36 His seed, age-abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me;
Ka mau tonu tona uri ake ake; a ka rite tona torona ki te ra i toku aroaro.
37 Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. (Selah)
Ka rite tona pumau ki to te marama ake ake: hei kaiwhakaatu pono ano i runga i te rangi. (Hera)
38 Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!
Na kua panga nei koe, kua whakarihariha, kua riri ki tau i whakawahi ai.
39 Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;
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 defenses, Thou hast laid his fortresses in ruins;
Kua pakaruhia e koe ona taiepa katoa; whakamotitia iho e koe ona pa kaha.
41 All the passers by the way, have plundered him, He hath become a reproach 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 raised the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast gladdened all his enemies;
Kua whakarewaina e koe te ringa matau o ona hoa whawhai: kua meinga e koe kia hari ona hoa whawhai katoa.
43 Yea thou hast turned the edge of his sword, Neither hast thou caused 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 brought to an end his splendour, And, his throne—to the ground, hast thou hurled;
Kua whakamutua e koe tona kororia, kua maka tona torona ki raro ki te whenua.
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youths, —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 Yahweh, Wilt thou hide thyself utterly? Shall thine indignation, 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 Remember how short-lived, I, am, Wherefore, in vain, hast thou created all the sons of Adam?
Kia mahara ki te poto rawa o toku taima: he aha i hanga ai e koe nga tangata katoa hei kore noa iho?
48 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. (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 lovingkindnesses, O My Lord? 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, O My Lord, the reproach of thy servants, I have carried in my bosom the insult of the peoples:
Maharatia, e te Ariki, te tawai ki au pononga; e mau nei ki toku uma te tawai a nga iwi nunui katoa:
51 In that thy foes have reproached, O Yahweh, In that they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed One!
Te tawai a ou hoariri, e Ihowa, ta ratou tawai nei ki nga hikoinga o tau i whakawahi ai.
52 Blessed be Yahweh to times age-abiding, Amen, and Amen!
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa ake ake. Amine, ae Amine.
