Psalms 68

1 For the chief musician; A psalm of David, a song. Let God arise; let his enemies be scattered; let those also who hate him flee before him.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. Kia ara te Atua, kia marara ona hoariri: kia whati hoki i tona aroaro te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.

2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish in the presence of God.

Aia atu ratou, peratia me te paowa e aia ana: kia rite ki te ware pi e rewa ana i te kapura te ngaromanga o te hunga kino i te aroaro o te Atua.

3 But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; may they rejoice and be happy.

Kia koa ia te hunga tika; kia hari i te aroaro o te Atua: ae ra, kia tino hari pu ratou.

4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Praise the one who rides through the plains of the Jordan River valley! Yahweh is his name! Rejoice before him!

Waiata ki te Atua, himenetia tona ingoa; opehia ake he huanui mo tana hariata i nga koraha; tona ingoa ko IHA; kia hari hoki ki tona aroaro.

5 A father of the fatherless, a judge of the widows, is God in the holy place where he lives.

Hei matua mo nga pani, hei kaiwhakarite mo nga pouaru, te Atua i tona nohoanga tapu.

6 God puts the lonely into families; he brings out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a parched land.

E whakanohoia ana e te Atua te mokemoke ki te whare; e whakaputaina ana e ia nga herehere ki te ora: ko te hunga tutu ia e noho i te wahi waikore.

7 God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, (Selah)

E te Atua, i tou haerenga atu i mua i tau iwi: i tou haerenga i te koraha; (Hera)

8 The earth trembled; the heavens also dropped rain in God's presence, in the presence of God when he came to Sinai, in the presence of God, the God of Israel.

I wiri te whenua, i tuturu iho ano nga rangi i te aroaro o te Atua; me taua Hinai ano i te aroaro o te Atua, o te Atua o Iharaira.

9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain; you strengthened your inheritance when it was weary.

I taia mai, e koe, e te Atua, he ua nui; a i tou kainga e ruwha ana ka whakaukia e koe.

10 Your people lived in it; You, God, gave from your goodness to the poor.

I noho tau whakaminenga ki reira: na tou pai, e te Atua, i mea kai ai koe ma nga rawakore.

11 The Lord gave the orders, and those who announced them were a great army.

Ka homai e Ihowa te kupu: he ope nui nga wahine whakapuaki.

12 Kings of armies flee, they flee, and the women waiting at home divide the plunder:

Whati rawa nga kingi o nga taua: a ko te wahine i noho i te whare, kei te tuwha i nga parakete.

13 doves covered with silver with wings of yellow gold. When some of you people stayed among the sheepfolds, why did you do this?

I a koutou ka takoto noa i nga takotoranga hipi, he rite ki nga pakau o te kukupa kua paparuatia nei ki te hiriwa, ona hou ki te koura whero.

14 The Almighty scattered kings there, it was as when it snowed on Mount Zalmon.

I te whakamararatanga a te Kaha Rawa i nga kingi i reira, koia ano kei te hukarere o Taramono te ma.

15 A mighty mountain is the hill country of Bashan; a high mountain is the hill country of Bashan.

He maunga Atua a Maunga Pahana; he maunga tiketike a Maunga Pahana.

16 Why do you look in envy, you high hill country, at the mountain which God desires for the place he will live? Indeed, Yahweh will live in it forever.

He aha koutou ka titiro titaha ai, e nga maunga tiketike, ki te maunga i hiahiatia nei e te Atua kia nohoia e ia? ae, ka nohoia e Ihowa ake ake.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them in the holy place, as at Sinai.

Ko nga hariata a te Atua, e rua tekau mano, mano mano iho; kei roto i a ratou te Ariki, me te mea ko Hinai, ko te wahi tapu.

18 You have ascended on high; you have led away captives; you have received gifts from among men, even from those who fought against you, so that you, Yahweh God, might live there.

Kua kake koe ki runga, kua whakaraua e koe te whakarau: kua riro i a koe he ohaoha mo te tangata; ae, mo te hunga tutu ano, kia noho ai a Ihowa, te Atua ki a ratou.

19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, the God who is our salvation. (Selah)

Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, e whakawaha nei i ta tatou pikaunga i tenei ra, i tenei ra, te Atua o to tatou whakaoranga. (Hera)

20 Our God is a God who saves; Yahweh the Lord is the one who is able to rescue us from death.

Ko to tatou Atua te Atua o te whakaoranga: na Ihowa ano, na te Ariki, nga putanga ake i te mate.

21 But God will strike through the heads of his enemies, through the hairy scalps of those who walk in offenses against him.

Ka maru ia i te Atua te matenga o ona hoariri: me te tumuaki huruhuru o te tangata e haere tonu ana i ana kino.

22 The Lord said, “I will bring my enemies back from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the sea

I mea te Ariki, Ka whakahokia mai e ahau i Pahana, ka whakahokia mai e ahau taku iwi i nga rire o te moana:

23 so that you may crush your enemies, dipping your foot in blood, and so that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from your enemies.”

Kia toua ai tou waewae ki te toto, kia whiwhi ai te arero o au kuri ki tana wahi o ou hoariri.

24 They have seen your processions, God, the processions of my God, my King, into the holy place.

I kite ratou, e te Atua, i ou haerenga, i nga haerenga o toku Atua, o toku Kingi, i te wahi tapu.

25 The singers went first, the minstrels followed after, and in the middle were the unmarried girls playing tambourines.

Ko nga kaiwaiata i haere i mua, i muri ko nga kaiwhakatangi, i waenganui o nga kotiro e patupatu ana i nga timipera.

26 Bless God in the assemblies; praise Yahweh, you who are from the fountain of Israel.

Whakapaingia te Atua i roto i nga whakaminenga, te Ariki hoki, e nga mea i puta mai i te matapuna o Iharaira.

27 There is first Benjamin, the smallest tribe, then the leaders of Judah and their multitudes, the leaders of Zebulun and the leaders of Naphtali.

Kei reira a Pineamine, te whakaotinga, to ratou ariki, nga rangatira o Hura, me to ratou ropu, nga rangatira o Hepurona, me nga rangatira o Napatari.

28 Your God, Israel, has decreed your strength; reveal to us your power, God, as you have revealed it in times past.

Kua oti he kaha mou te whakahau iho e tou Atua: whakaukia, e te Atua, tau i mea ai mo matou.

29 Reveal your power to us from your temple at Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.

Ka maua mai e nga kingi he hakari ki a koe, mo tou temepara i Hiruharama.

30 Shout in battle against the wild beasts in the reeds, against the peoples, that multitude of bulls and calves. Humiliate them and make them bring you gifts; scatter the peoples who love to wage war.

Riria te kirehe o nga kakaho, te huinga puru, me nga kuao kau a nga iwi, me te takahi i nga pihi hiriwa ki raro: whakamararatia nga iwi e ahuareka ana ki te whainga.

31 Princes will come out of Egypt; Cush will hurry to reach out with her hands to God.

E puta mai nga rangatira i Ihipa: meake hohoro te totoro o nga ringa o Etiopia ki te Atua.

32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; (Selah) Sing praises to Yahweh.

Waiata ki te Atua, e nga rangatiratanga o te whenua: himene ki te Ariki: (Hera)

33 To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which exist from ancient times; see, he lifts up his voice with power.

Ki a ia, ko tona hariata nei ko nga rangi o nga rangi, nonamata: na, ka puaki tona reo, he reo kaha.

34 Ascribe strength to God; his majesty is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.

Waiho te kaha i te Atua, kei runga nei i a Iharaira tana mahi rangatira: kei nga kapua hoki tona kaha.

35 God, you are fearsome in your holy place; the God of Israel—he gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.

Ka wehingia koe, e te Atua, i roto i ou wahi tapu: ko te Atua o Iharaira te kaihomai i te kaha, i te mana, ki tona iwi. Whakapaingia te Atua.
