Psalms 55
1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. Give ear to! O God prayer my and may not you hide yourself from supplication my.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He Makiri, na Rawiri. E te Atua, tahuri mai tou taringa ki taku inoi: kei whakangaro atu koe, ina tangi ahau.
2 Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
Anga mai ki ahau, whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau: pokaikaha noa iho ahau i ahau e tangi nei, e hamama nei;
3 From [the] sound of an enemy because of [the] pressure of [the] wicked for they drop on me wickedness and in anger they are hostile to me.
I te reo hoki o te hoariri, i te tukino a te tangata kino: no te mea e utaina ana e ratou he hara ki runga ki ahau, a e kino ana ki ahau, e riri ana.
4 Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
Mamae pu toku ngakau i roto i ahau: kua taka ki runga ki ahau nga wehi whakamate.
5 Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
Kua pa ki ahau te wehi me te wiri: a pokia iho ahau e te whakamataku.
6 And I said who? will he give [will belong] to me wing[s] like dove I want to fly away and I want to settle down.
Na ko taku meatanga, Aue, te whai pakau ahau me he kukupa; penei ka rere atu ahau, a ka whai okiokinga.
7 Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
Katahi ahau ka rere ki tawhiti; a noho rawa atu i te koraha. (Hera)
8 I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
Ka hohoro toku rere atu i te hau, i te awha.
9 Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Whakangaromia, e te Ariki, wehia o ratou arero; kua kitea hoki e ahau te tukino me te tutu o roto o te pa.
10 By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
Haereere ana ratou i te ao, i te po, i runga i ona taiepa, a tawhio noa: he kino kei roto, he hianga.
11 Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
He hara kei waenganui ona: kahore ona ara e mahue i te tinihanga, i te hianga.
12 For not an enemy he taunts me and I may endure not [one who] hates me on me he magnified himself then I may hide myself from him.
Ehara hoki i te hoariri nana ahau i tawai; penei e taea e ahau te whakaririka: ehara hoki i te hoa whawhai noku i whakakake ki ahau; penei kua piri ahau, kei kitea e ia.
13 And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
Nau ia, na te tangata i rite ki ahau, na toku takahoa, na taku i mohio ai.
14 Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
Ahuareka tonu ta taua korerorero; haere tahi ana hoki taua i roto i te ropu ki te whare o te Atua.
15 (May it deceive death - *Q(K)*) on them may they go down Sheol alive for evil deeds [are] in sojourning-place their in inner being their. (Sheol h7585)
Kia mau ohorere ratou i te mate, kia heke ora ki te reinga: he hara hoki kei o ratou nohoanga, kei waenganui i a ratou. (Sheol h7585)
16 I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
Ko ahau, ka karanga ahau ki te Atua: a ma Ihowa ahau e whakaora.
17 Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
I te ahiahi, i te ata, i te poutumarotanga, ka inoi ahau, ka tangi: a ka whakarongo ia ki toku reo.
18 He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
Whakaorangia ana e ia toku wairua i runga i te rangimarie i ahau e whakaekea ana: he tokomaha hoki oku hoa whawhai.
19 He will hear - God - and he will answer them and [the one who] sits antiquity (Selah) whom not changes [belong] to them and not they fear God.
Ka whakarongo te Atua, no tua iho nei tona nohoanga, a ka whakahoki i ta ratou. (Hera) Ko te hunga kahore o ratou whakawhitiwhitinga, a kahore o ratou wehi ki te Atua.
20 He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
Kua totoro ona ringa ki te hunga kua mau nei ta ratou rongo ki a ia; kua whakataka e ia tana kawenata.
21 They were smooth - [the] creamy things of mouth his and [was] war heart his they were soft words his more than oil and they [were] drawn swords.
Maeneene atu tona mangai i te pata, he whawhai ia kei roto i tona ngakau: ngawari atu ana kupu i te hinu, kahore, he hoari kua oti te unu.
22 Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
Maka ki runga ki a Ihowa tau pikaunga, a mana koe e whakau ake: e kore e tukua e ia te hunga tika kia whakangaueuetia ake ake.
23 And you O God - you will bring down them - to [the] pit of [the] pit people of blood and deceit not they will divide in half days their and I I will trust in you.
Mau ia ratou e mea, e te Atua, kia heke ki te poka o te pirau: e kore nga tangata toto, nga tangata hianga e tutuki ki te hawhe o o ratou ra; ko ahau ia, ka whakawhirinaki ki a koe.
