Psalms 72
1 By Solomon. God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
Na Horomona. Homai, e te Atua, au whakaritenga ki te kingi, me tou tika ki te tama a te kingi.
2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
Mana e whakawa tou iwi i runga i te tika, au rawakore i runga i te whakawa tika.
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
Ka kawea mai e nga maunga te rongo mau ki te iwi, e nga pukepuke i runga i te tika.
4 He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
Ka whakawa ia mo nga ware o te iwi: ka whakaorangia e ia nga tamariki a te rawakore; mongamonga noa i a ia te kaitukino.
5 They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
I te ra e mau ana, i te marama hoki, ka pera te mau o to ratou wehi ki a koe i nga whakatupuranga katoa.
6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
E heke iho ia ano he ua ki runga ki te kotinga tarutaru, me nga ua e whakamakuku nei i te whenua.
7 In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
Ka tupu te tangata tika i ona ra: tona roa ano o te ata noho, a kore noa te marama.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
Ka kingi ia i tenei moana, a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa, a nga pito atu ano o te whenua.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
Ka piko ki tona aroaro te hunga o te koraha: a ka mitimiti ona hoariri i te puehu.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Ka maua mai he hakari e nga kingi o Tarahihi, o nga motu: ka kawea mai he tahua e nga kingi o Hepa, o Tepa.
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
Ae, ka koropiko nga kingi katoa ki a ia: ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
Ka ora hoki i a ia te rawakore ua tangi atu, te ware hoki me te tangata kahore nei ona kaiawhina.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
E tohu ia i te tangata iti, i te rawakore; ka ora ano i a ia nga wairua o nga rawakore.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
Ka hokona e ia to ratou wairua i roto i te tukino, i te tutu, he mea utu nui hoki o ratou toto ki tana titiro.
15 He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long.
A e ora ratou; ka hoatu ano ki a ia he koura no Hepa: ka tukua tonutia hoki te inoi mona; ka whakapaingia ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
16 Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
He kutanga witi tera i runga i te whenua, i te tihi o nga maunga; ngarue ana ona hua, ano ko Repanona, a ka rite te tupu o nga tangata o te pa ki to te tarutaru o te whenua.
17 His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
Ka mau tonu tona ingoa ake ake; ka rite tona ingoa ki te ra te pumau: kei roto i a ia te manaaki mo te tangata; ka korerotia tona koa e nga iwi katoa.
18 Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvellous deeds.
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua, te Atua o Iharaira: ko ia nei anake hei mahi i nga mahi whakamiharo;
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
Kia whakapaingia ano tona ingoa kororia mo ake tonu atu; kia ki katoa hoki te whenua i tona kororia. Amine, ae Amine.
20 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
Ko te mutunga tenei o nga inoi a Rawiri, a te tama a Hehe.
