Psalms 69
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Hohanimi. Na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau e te Atua, ka tae mai hoki nga wai ki roto ki toku wairua.
2 I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.
Ka tapoko ahau ki te oru hohonu, ki te wahi kahore nei he tunga: kua tae ahau ki nga wai hohonu, ngaro iho ahau i nga waipuke.
3 I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.
Kua ruwha ahau i taku tangi; kua maroke toku korokoro: pakoko kau oku kanohi i ahau e tatari nei ki toku Atua.
4 Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away — I bring back.
Tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa te hunga e mauahara noa ana ki ahau, e mea nei kia whakamatea ahau; utua ana e ahau i reira nga mea kihai i tangohia e ahau.
5 O God, Thou — Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
E te Atua, e matau ana koe ki toku kuware; kahore hoki oku he e ngaro i a koe.
6 Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
E te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano kaua te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e whakama i ahau: e te Atua o Iharaira, kei numinumi kau i ahau te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
7 For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.
Mou hoki ahau i waiho ai hei tawainga: ngaro iho toku mata i te whakama.
8 A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
He tangata ke ahau ki oku hoa ake: hei tautangata ki nga tama a toku whaea.
9 For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
Ka pau hoki ahau i te aroha ki tou whare: kua tau ano ki ahau nga tawai a te hunga e tawai ana ki a koe.
10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
I ahau i tangi, i whakatiki hei whiu i toku wairua, ka waiho tena hei tawainga moku.
11 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
I kakahu hoki ahau i te kakahu taratara moku, a i waiho hei whakatauki ma ratou.
12 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
Kei te korero kino moku te hunga e noho ana i te kuwaha: waiatatia ana ahau e te hunga haurangi waina.
13 And I — my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.
Ko ahau ia, ki a koe taku inoi, e Ihowa, i te wa e manakohia ai: whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua, i runga i te nui o tou aroha, o te pono o tau whakaoranga.
14 Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
Whakaorangia ahau i roto i te oru, kei toremi: kia ora ahau i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, i nga wai hohonu ano hoki.
15 Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Kei ngaro ahau i te waipuke, kei horomia e te rire; kei kopia ano te waha o te poka ki runga ki ahau.
16 Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,
E Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he pai hoki tou atawhai: tahuri mai ki ahau, kia rite ki te nui o au arohatanga.
17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress — haste, answer me.
A kaua e huna tou mata ki tau pononga; e pouri ana hoki ahau: hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
18 Be near unto my soul — redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.
Whakatata mai ki toku wairua, hokona: whakaorangia ahau, e mahi nei oku hoariri.
19 Thou — Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee [are] all mine adversaries.
E matau ana koe ki toku tawainga, ki toku whakama, ki toku numinumi: kei tou aroaro oku hoariri katoa.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
Maru noa toku ngakau i te tawai; a ki tonu ahau i te pouri: i titiro ahau ki tetahi hei aroha mai, a kore ake; ki etahi hei whakamarie, a kihai i kitea.
21 And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.
I homai he au hei kai maku: i toku matewaitanga ano i whakainumia ahau ki te winika.
22 Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence — for a trap.
Kia meinga ta ratou tepu i to ratou aroaro hei mahanga; hei rore hoki i to ratou wa rangimarie.
23 Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.
Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kei kite ratou: kia wiri tonu hoki o ratou hope.
24 Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
Ringihia atu tou riri ki runga ki a ratou, kia mau hoki ratou i tou arita, i tou weriweri.
25 Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.
Kia ururuatia to ratou nohoanga: kaua tetahi e noho ki o ratou teneti.
26 For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.
Mo ratou i tukino i te tangata i whiua nei e koe; a korerotia ana e ratou te pouri o te hunga i werohia e koe.
27 Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.
Tapiritia he kino ki runga ki to ratou kino; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tomo ki tou tika.
28 They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.
Kia murua atu ratou i te pukapuka o te ora, kaua ano e tuhituhia ki roto ki te hunga tika.
29 And I [am] afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth set me on high.
Ko ahau ia, he rawakore, he pouri; kia whakateiteitia ake ahau, e te Atua, e tau whakaoranga.
30 I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
Ka whakamoemiti taku waiata ki te ingoa o te Atua, ka whakanui ano taku whakawhetai i a ia.
31 And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock — horned — hoofed.
Pai rawa tenei ki a Ihowa i te puru i te kau, i te mea whai haona, whai maikuku.
32 The humble have seen — they rejoice, Ye who seek God — and your heart liveth.
Kua kite te hunga mahaki, kua hari: ka ora ano o koutou ngakau, e te hunga e rapu nei i te Atua.
33 For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised.
No te mea ka rongo a Ihowa ki nga rawakore, e kore ano e whakahawea ki ana herehere.
34 The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
Kia whakamoemiti te rangi me te whenua ki a ia, nga moana, me nga mea katoa e tere ana i roto.
35 For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
No te mea tera e whakaorangia e te Atua a Hiona, ka hanga ano e ia nga pa o Hura; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ka riro hoki a reira i a ratou.
36 And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His name dwell in it!
A ka nohoia a reira e nga uri o ana pononga: hei kainga tupu ano a reira mo te hunga e aroha ana ki tona ingoa.
