Psalms 68

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God — scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.

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 the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at 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 And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.

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

4 Sing ye to God — praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah [is] His name, and exult 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 Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.

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

6 God — causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only — the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

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 O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping 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 hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai — before 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 A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.

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

10 Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.

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

11 The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.

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

12 Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.

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

13 Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

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 When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.

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

15 A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.

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

16 Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.

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] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

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 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.

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 [is] the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself [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 God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.

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

21 Only — God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.

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: 'From Bashan I bring back, I bring 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 thou dashest thy foot in blood, [In the blood of] enemies — the tongue of Thy dogs.'

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 Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.

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

25 Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.

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

26 In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord — 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] little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun — heads 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 Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.

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

29 Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.

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

30 Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.

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 Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God.

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

32 Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. (Selah)

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

33 To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice.

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

34 Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel [is] His excellency, and His strength in the clouds.

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

35 Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] 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.
