Psalms 97
1 Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad.
Ko Ihowa te Kingi, kia hari te whenua, kia koa nga tini moutere.
2 Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Ko te kapua me te pouri kei ona taha katoa: ko te tika, ko te whakawa, te turanga o tona torona.
3 Fire goes before him and consumes his adversaries on every side.
He kapura e haere ana i mua i a ia, a pau ake ona hoariri a taka noa.
4 His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
Marama tonu te ao i ana uira: i kite te whenua, a wiri ana.
5 The mountains melt like wax before Yahweh, the Lord of the whole earth.
Rewa noa nga maunga, ano he ware pi, i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
6 The skies declare his justice, and all the nations see his glory.
E whakapuakina ana e nga rangi tona tika: a e kitea ana e nga iwi katoa tona kororia.
7 All those who worship carved figures will be shamed, those who boast in worthless idols— bow down to him, all you gods!
Kia whakama katoa te hunga e mahi ana ki nga whakapakoko, e whakamanamana ana ki nga atua horihori: koropiko ki a ia, e nga atua katoa.
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the towns of Judah rejoiced because of your righteous decrees, Yahweh.
I rongo a Hiona, a koa ana: whakamanamana ana nga tamahine o Hura, e Ihowa, ki au whakaritenga.
9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
Ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, kei runga noa ake i te whenua katoa: kua whakanuia koe ki runga noa ake i nga atua katoa.
10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He protects the lives of his saints, and he takes them out of the hand of the wicked.
E te hunga e aroha ana ki a Ihowa, e kino ki te he: e tiakina ana e ia nga wairua o tana hunga tapu; e whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i nga ringa o te hunga kino.
11 Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for those with honest hearts.
Kua oti te marama te whakato mo te hunga tika: me te koa mo te hunga ngakau tapatahi.
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous; and give thanks when you remember his holiness.
Kia hari ki a Ihowa, e te hunga tika: whakamoemiti ki tona ingoa tapu.
