Psalms 85
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene ma nga tama a Koraha. E Ihowa, kua aro mai koe ki tou whenua, kua whakahokia mai e koe a Hakopa i te whakarau.
2 Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
Kua murua e koe te kino o tau iwi, kua hipokina e koe o ratou hara katoa (Hera)
3 Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
Kua mutu katoa tou weriweri; kua tahuri ke koe i te aritarita o tou riri.
4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
Whakahokia ake matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga: meinga hoki kia mutu tou riri ki a matou.
5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
E riri ranei koe ki a matou ake ake? E mauahara tonu ranei, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa?
6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
E kore ianei koe e whakahoki ake i a matou ki te ora: kia hari ai tau iwi ki a koe?
7 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
E Ihowa, whakakitea mai tau mahi tohu ki a matou: tukua mai ki a matou tau whakaoranga.
8 I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
Ka whakarongo ahau ki ta te Atua, ki ta Ihowa, e korero ai: no te mea mo te rongo mau ana korero ki tana iwi, ki tana hunga tapu hoki; kaua ia ratou e hoki ki te wairangi.
9 Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
Ina, he tata tonu tana whakaoranga ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, kia noho ai te kororia ki to tatou whenua.
10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
Kua tutaki te mahi tohu raua ko te pono: kua kihi ki a raua te tika me te rongo mau.
11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
Ka tupu ake te pono i te whenua, a ka titiro iho te tika i te rangi.
12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
Ae, ka homai e Ihowa te pai: a ka tukua mai ona hua e to tatou whenua.
13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
Ka haere te tika i mua i a ia, hei whakatu i a tatou ki te ara o ona hikoinga.
