Psalms 111

1 Praise Yahweh. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright, in their gathering.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, i te runanga o te hunga tika, i te whakaminenga.

2 The works of Yahweh are great, eagerly awaited by all those who desire them.

He nui nga mahi a Ihowa; e whakatakina ana e te hunga katoa e manako ana ki aua mea.

3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his righteousness endures forever.

He mea honore, he mea kororia tana mahi: tu tonu tona tika ake ake.

4 He does wonderful things that will be remembered; Yahweh is gracious and merciful.

Kua meinga e ia kia maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo: he atawhai a Ihowa, he aroha.

5 He gives food to his faithful followers. He will always call to mind his covenant.

E homai ana e ia he kai ma te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia: ka mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata.

6 He showed his powerful works to his people in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

Kua whakakitea e ia ki tana iwi te kaha o ana mahi, i tana hoatutanga i to nga tauiwi hei kainga tupu mo ratou.

7 The works of his hands are trustworthy and just; all his instructions are reliable.

Ko nga mahi a ona ringa he pono, he whakawa tika: pono tonu ana akoranga katoa,

8 They are established forever, to be observed faithfully and properly.

U tonu ake ake, e mahia ana i runga i te pono, i te tika.

9 He gave victory to his people; he ordained his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name.

I tonoa mai e ia he whakaoranga mo tana iwi: kua kiia iho e ia tana kawenata mo ake tonu atu; he tapu tona ingoa, e wehingia ana.

10 To honor Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; those who carry out his instructions have good understanding. His praise endures forever.

Ko te timatanga o te whakaaro nui he wehi ki a Ihowa: he ngarahu nui to te hunga katoa nana era mahi; mau te whakamoemiti ki a ia, ake ake.
