2 Samuel 22
1 And David speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
I korerotia e Rawiri ki a Ihowa nga kupu o tenei waiata i te ra i whakaorangia ai ia e Ihowa i te ringa o ona hoariri katoa, i te ringa ano o Haora:
2 and he saith: 'Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
I mea ia, Ko Ihowa toku teko, toku pourewa, ko toku kaiwhakaora hoki ia, ae ra ko toku;
3 My God [is] my rock — I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!
Ko te Atua toku kamaka, ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia; ko toku whakangungu rakau, ko te haona o toku whakaoranga, ko toku pa tiketike, ko toku rerenga atu; e toku kaiwhakaora, whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tutu.
4 The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowa e tika nei kia whakamoemititia: a ka whakaorangia ahau i oku hoariri.
5 When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
I karapotia ahau e nga ngaru o te mate, i whakawehia ahau e nga waipuke o te kino.
I roritia ahau e nga taura a te reinga: potaea ana ahau e nga mahanga a te mate. (Sheol h7585)
7 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears,
I karanga ahau ki a Ihowa i toku paweratanga, ae ra, i karanga ahau ki toku Atua: a i whakarongo ia ki toku reo i roto i tona temepara, i tae hoki taku hamama ki ona taringa.
8 And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!
Na ka ngaueue te whenua, ka ru; wiri ana nga putake o nga rangi, ngaueue ana, no te mea e riri ana ia.
9 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.
I kake he paowa i ona pongaponga, a ka kai te kapura o roto o tona mangai: ngiha ana nga waro.
10 And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
I whakapingoretia e ia nga rangi, a ka heke iho: a i raro te pouri kerekere i ona waewae.
11 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
Na ka eke ia ki te kerupa, a rere ana: ina, i kitea ia i runga i nga parirau o te hau.
12 And He setteth darkness Round about Him — tabernacles, Darkness of waters — thick clouds of the skies.
I meinga ano e ia te pouri hei teneti a tawhio noa, nga wai pouri, nga kapua matotoru o te rangi.
13 From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!
Ngiha ana nga waro i te wherikotanga o tona aroaro.
14 Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.
Papa ana te whatitiri a Ihowa i nga rangi; puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.
15 And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;
Kokiritia mai ana e ia nga pere, a marara ana ratou; he uira, a ka whati ratou.
16 And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
Na ka kitea nga takere o te moana, ka takoto kau nga putake o te ao i te whakatupehupehunga a Ihowa, i te whenunga o te manawa o ona pongaponga.
17 He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau; kumea ake ahau e ia i roto i nga wai maha.
18 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.
Nana ahau i whakaora i toku hoariri kaha, i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.
19 They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,
Huakina tatatia ana ahau e ratou i te ra o toku matenga: ko Ihowa ia toku whakawhirinakitanga.
20 And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.
A whakaputaina ana ahau e ia ki te wahi whanui: i whakaorangia ahau e ia, no te mea i whakaahuareka ia ki ahau.
21 Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
Rite tonu ki taku mahi tika ta Ihowa utu ki ahau; rite tonu ki te ma o oku ringa tana i whakahoki mai ai ki ahau.
22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
I pupuri hoki ahau i nga ara a Ihowa; a kihai i he, i whakarere i toku Atua.
23 For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.
Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau ana whakaritenga katoa; a, ko ana tikanga, kihai era i matara atu i ahau.
24 And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
I tu tika ano ahau ki tona aroaro: i tiaki ano i ahau kei kino.
25 And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
No reira i homai ai e Ihowa he utu ki ahau, rite tonu ki toku tika; rite tonu ki toku ma ki tana titiro.
26 With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,
He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai ano koe; he tangata tika, ka tika ano koe.
27 With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.
He tangata ma, ka ma ano koe; he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tau mahi.
28 And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.
E whakaorangia hoki e koe te iwi e tukinotia ana: kei runga ia ou kanohi i te hunga whakakake, kia whakahokia iho ratou e koe ki raro.
29 For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.
Ko koe hoki toku rama, e Ihowa: ma Ihowa e whakamarama toku pouri.
30 For by Thee I run — a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
Nau hoki ahau i rere ai ki runga ki te ropu: na toku Atua ka peke ahau i te taiepa.
31 God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.
Tena ko te Atua, tika tonu tona ara; he parakore te kupu a Ihowa; he whakangungu rakau ia ki te hunga katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
32 For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?
Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kahore a Ihowa? Ko wai hoki te kamaka, ki te kahore to tatou Atua?
33 God — my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;
Ko te Atua toku pa kaha: ko ia hei arahi i te hunga tika i tona ara.
34 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,
Ko ia nei hei mea i oku waewae kia rite ki o te hata: mana hoki ahau e whakatu ki runga ki oku wahi tiketike.
35 Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,
Ko ia hei whakaako i oku ringa ki te whawhai; hei mea i oku ringa kia whakapiko i te kopere parahi.
36 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
Kua homai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rakau o tau whakaoranga; whakanuia ana ahau e tou whakaaro mahaki.
37 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
I whakanuia e koe oku takahanga i raro i ahau, te paheke oku waewae.
38 I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed.
Kua arumia e ahau oku hoariri, a huna iho ratou e ahau: kihai ano ahau i tahuri, a moti noa ratou.
39 And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.
Moti iho ratou i ahau, mongamonga noa, te ahei te whakatika: ina, hinga ana ratou ki raro i oku waewae.
40 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.
Nau hoki ahau i whitiki ki te kaha mo te whawhai: piko ana i a koe ki raro i ahau te hunga i whakatika mai ki ahau.
41 And mine enemies — Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me — and I cut them off.
Kua meinga hoki e koe kia hurihia mai e oku hoariri o ratou tuara ki ahau, kia huna e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.
42 They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.
I tirotiro ratou, heoi kahore he kaiwhakaora: ki a Ihowa rawa, heoi kihai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a ratou.
43 And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small — I spread them out!
Na tukia ana ratou e ahau, a rite noa ki te puehu o te whenua: mohungahunga noa ratou i ahau, me te mea he paru no nga huarahi; a titaritaria ana ratou e ahau.
44 And — Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me.
Nau hoki ahau i ora ai i nga ngangautanga a toku iwi; nau ahau i tiaki hei upoko mo nga tauiwi: hei apa moku te iwi kahore nei i matauria e ahau.
45 Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.
Ka tuku mai nga tangata iwi ke ki raro i ahau: kia rongo kau te taringa, kakama tonu mai ratou ki ahau.
46 Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
Ka memeha haere nga tangata iwi ke: ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i o ratou kuhunga.
47 Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God — The Rock of my salvation.
E ora ana a Ihowa, kia whakapaingia toku kamaka: kia whakanuia te Atua o te kamaka o toku whakaoranga:
48 God — who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
Ara te Atua e rapu nei i te utu moku, e pehi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,
49 And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.
E whakaputa nei i ahau i roto i oku hoariri: ae ra, e mea ana koe i ahau kia teitei ake i te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau: whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tangata tutu.
50 Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.
Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.
51 Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!'
He pourewa whakaora ia ki tana kingi; e whakaputa aroha ana ki tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ki a Rawiri ratou ko ona uri ake ake.
