2 Hamuera 22
1 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:
And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
2 I mea ia, Ko Ihowa toku teko, toku pourewa, ko toku kaiwhakaora hoki ia, ae ra ko toku;
And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 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.
God is my rock, in him will I trust — My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge, My saviour: thou wilt save me from violence.
4 Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowa e tika nei kia whakamoemititia: a ka whakaorangia ahau i oku hoariri.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 I karapotia ahau e nga ngaru o te mate, i whakawehia ahau e nga waipuke o te kino.
For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid.
The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me; (Sheol h7585)
7 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.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God; And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears.
8 Na ka ngaueue te whenua, ka ru; wiri ana nga putake o nga rangi, ngaueue ana, no te mea e riri ana ia.
Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth.
9 I kake he paowa i ona pongaponga, a ka kai te kapura o roto o tona mangai: ngiha ana nga waro.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals burned forth from it.
10 I whakapingoretia e ia nga rangi, a ka heke iho: a i raro te pouri kerekere i ona waewae.
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet.
11 Na ka eke ia ki te kerupa, a rere ana: ina, i kitea ia i runga i nga parirau o te hau.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; And he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 I meinga ano e ia te pouri hei teneti a tawhio noa, nga wai pouri, nga kapua matotoru o te rangi.
And he made darkness round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 Ngiha ana nga waro i te wherikotanga o tona aroaro.
From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire.
14 Papa ana te whatitiri a Ihowa i nga rangi; puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.
Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice.
15 Kokiritia mai ana e ia nga pere, a marara ana ratou; he uira, a ka whati ratou.
And he sent arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; Lightning, and discomfited them.
16 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.
And the beds of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau; kumea ake ahau e ia i roto i nga wai maha.
He reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great waters;
18 Nana ahau i whakaora i toku hoariri kaha, i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; For they were mightier than I.
19 Huakina tatatia ana ahau e ratou i te ra o toku matenga: ko Ihowa ia toku whakawhirinakitanga.
They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
20 A whakaputaina ana ahau e ia ki te wahi whanui: i whakaorangia ahau e ia, no te mea i whakaahuareka ia ki ahau.
And he brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 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.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 I pupuri hoki ahau i nga ara a Ihowa; a kihai i he, i whakarere i toku Atua.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau ana whakaritenga katoa; a, ko ana tikanga, kihai era i matara atu i ahau.
For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,
24 I tu tika ano ahau ki tona aroaro: i tiaki ano i ahau kei kino.
And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 No reira i homai ai e Ihowa he utu ki ahau, rite tonu ki toku tika; rite tonu ki toku ma ki tana titiro.
And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.
26 He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai ano koe; he tangata tika, ka tika ano koe.
With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
27 He tangata ma, ka ma ano koe; he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tau mahi.
With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
28 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.
And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, [whom] thou bringest down.
29 Ko koe hoki toku rama, e Ihowa: ma Ihowa e whakamarama toku pouri.
For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness.
30 Nau hoki ahau i rere ai ki runga ki te ropu: na toku Atua ka peke ahau i te taiepa.
For by thee I have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 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.
As for God, his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him.
32 Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kahore a Ihowa? Ko wai hoki te kamaka, ki te kahore to tatou Atua?
For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
33 Ko te Atua toku pa kaha: ko ia hei arahi i te hunga tika i tona ara.
God is my strong fortress, And he maketh my way perfectly smooth.
34 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.
He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], And setteth me upon my high places.
35 Ko ia hei whakaako i oku ringa ki te whawhai; hei mea i oku ringa kia whakapiko i te kopere parahi.
He teacheth my hands to war, And mine arms bend a bow of brass.
36 Kua homai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rakau o tau whakaoranga; whakanuia ana ahau e tou whakaaro mahaki.
And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
37 I whakanuia e koe oku takahanga i raro i ahau, te paheke oku waewae.
Thou enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip.
38 Kua arumia e ahau oku hoariri, a huna iho ratou e ahau: kihai ano ahau i tahuri, a moti noa ratou.
I pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them, And I turned not again till they were consumed.
39 Moti iho ratou i ahau, mongamonga noa, te ahei te whakatika: ina, hinga ana ratou ki raro i oku waewae.
And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet.
40 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.
And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
41 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.
And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed.
42 I tirotiro ratou, heoi kahore he kaiwhakaora: ki a Ihowa rawa, heoi kihai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a ratou.
They looked, and there was none to save — Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
43 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.
And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.
44 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.
And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me:
45 Ka tuku mai nga tangata iwi ke ki raro i ahau: kia rongo kau te taringa, kakama tonu mai ratou ki ahau.
Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me.
46 Ka memeha haere nga tangata iwi ke: ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i o ratou kuhunga.
Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places.
47 E ora ana a Ihowa, kia whakapaingia toku kamaka: kia whakanuia te Atua o te kamaka o toku whakaoranga:
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God, the rock of my salvation,
48 Ara te Atua e rapu nei i te utu moku, e pehi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,
The God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the peoples under me.
49 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.
He brought me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; From the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
50 Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.
Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing psalms to thy name.
51 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.
[It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, And sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, To David, and to his seed for evermore.
