Psalms 115
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
Aua ki a matou, e Ihowa, aua ki a matou, engari me hoatu te kororia ki tou ingoa: whakaaroa tou aroha, tou pono.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Kia mea koia nga tauiwi: Kei hea ianei to ratou Atua?
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
Kei te rangi ia to matou Atua; kua meatia e ia nga mea katoa i pai ai ia.
4 The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
He hiriwa a ratou whakapakoko, he koura, he mahi na te ringa tangata.
5 Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
He mangai o ratou, a kahore e korero: he kanohi o ratou, a kahore e kite:
6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
He taringa o ratou, a kahore e rongo: he ihu o ratou, a kahore e hongi:
7 Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
He ringa o ratou, a kahore e whawha: he waewae o ratou, a kahore e haere: kahore hoki o ratou korokoro e korero.
8 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
Ka rite ki a ratou o ratou kaihanga; ae ra, te hunga katoa ano e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ratou.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
E Iharaira, whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa: ko ia to ratou awhina, to ratou whakangungu rakau.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
E te whare o Arona, whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa: ko ia to ratou awhina, to ratou whakangungu rakau.
11 You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
E te hunga e wehi ana i a Ihowa, whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa: ko ia to ratou awhina, to ratou whakangungu rakau.
12 Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
Kua mahara a Ihowa ki a tatou, mana tatou e manaaki: mana e manaaki te whare o Iharaira, mana e manaaki te whare o Arona.
13 He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
Ka manaakitia e ia te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowa, te iti, te rahi.
14 May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
Ka tapiritia ano e Ihowa ki a koutou, ki a koutou tahi ko a koutou tamariki.
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
He manaakitanga koutou na Ihowa, na te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.
16 The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
Ko nga rangi, he rangi no Ihowa; ko te whenua ia, he mea homai nana ki nga tama a te tangata.
17 The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
E kore nga tupapaku e whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa: me te hunga katoa ano e heke ana ki te wahangutanga.
18 But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
Ko matou ia ka whakapai ki a Ihowa aianei a ake ake. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
