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 the Lord the words of this song, in the day in which the Lord rescued 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 the song was thus: O Lord, 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.
my God; he shall be to me my guard, I will trust in him: [he is] my protector, and the horn of my salvation, my helper, and my sure refuge; you shall save me from the unjust man.
4 Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowa e tika nei kia whakamoemititia: a ka whakaorangia ahau i oku hoariri.
I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised, and I shall be saved from my enemies.
5 I karapotia ahau e nga ngaru o te mate, i whakawehia ahau e nga waipuke o te kino.
For the troubles of death compassed me, the floods of iniquity amazed me:
the pangs of death surrounded me, the agonies of death prevented 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.
When I am afflicted I will call upon the Lord, and will cry to my God, and he shall hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come 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.
And the earth was troubled and quaked, and the foundations of heaven were confounded and torn asunder, because the Lord was angry with them.
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 in his wrath, and fire out of his mouth devours: coals were kindled at 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 [there was] darkness 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 the cherubs and did fly, and 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 his hiding-place; his tabernacle round about him was the darkness of waters, he condensed it with the clouds of the air.
13 Ngiha ana nga waro i te wherikotanga o tona aroaro.
At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
14 Papa ana te whatitiri a Ihowa i nga rangi; puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.
The Lord thundered out of heaven, 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 forth arrows, and scattered them, and he flashed lightning, and dismayed 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 channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his anger.
17 I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau; kumea ake ahau e ia i roto i nga wai maha.
He sent from above and took me; he drew me out of many 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 enemies, from them that hated me, for they were stronger than I.
19 Huakina tatatia ana ahau e ratou i te ra o toku matenga: ko Ihowa ia toku whakawhirinakitanga.
The days of my affliction prevented me; but the Lord 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 into a wide place, and rescued 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.
And the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands did he recompense me.
22 I pupuri hoki ahau i nga ara a Ihowa; a kihai i he, i whakarere i toku Atua.
Because, I kept the ways of the Lord, and did not wickedly depart 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 judgments and his ordinances [were] before me: I departed not from them.
24 I tu tika ano ahau ki tona aroaro: i tiaki ano i ahau kei kino.
And I shall be blameless before him, and will keep myself from my 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 the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands in his eye-sight.
26 He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai ano koe; he tangata tika, ka tika ano koe.
With the holy you will be holy, and with the perfect man you will be perfect,
27 He tangata ma, ka ma ano koe; he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tau mahi.
and with the excellent you will be excellent, and with the froward you will be froward.
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 you will save the poor people, and will bring down the eyes of the haughty.
29 Ko koe hoki toku rama, e Ihowa: ma Ihowa e whakamarama toku pouri.
For you, Lord, [are] my lamp, and the Lord shall shine forth to me in 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 you shall I run [as] a girded man, and by my God shall I leap 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 the Mighty One, his way [is] blameless: the word of the Lord [is] strong [and] tried in the fire: he is a protector to all that put their 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?
Who [is] strong, but the Lord? and who will be a Creator except our God?
33 Ko te Atua toku pa kaha: ko ia hei arahi i te hunga tika i tona ara.
[It is] the Mighty One who strengthens me with might, and has prepared my way without fault.
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 makes my feet like hart's feet, and sets me upon the 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 teaches my hands to war, and has broken a brazen bow by my arm.
36 Kua homai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rakau o tau whakaoranga; whakanuia ana ahau e tou whakaaro mahaki.
And you have given me the shield of my salvation, and your propitious dealing has increased me,
37 I whakanuia e koe oku takahanga i raro i ahau, te paheke oku waewae.
so as to make room under me for my going, and my legs did not totter.
38 Kua arumia e ahau oku hoariri, a huna iho ratou e ahau: kihai ano ahau i tahuri, a moti noa ratou.
I will pursue my enemies, and will utterly destroy them; and I will not turn again till I have consumed them.
39 Moti iho ratou i ahau, mongamonga noa, te ahei te whakatika: ina, hinga ana ratou ki raro i oku waewae.
And I will crush them, and they shall not rise; and they shall fall 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 you shall strengthen me with power for the war; you shall cause them that rise up against me to bow down under 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 you have caused mine enemies to flee before me, even them that hated me, and you have slain them.
42 I tirotiro ratou, heoi kahore he kaiwhakaora: ki a Ihowa rawa, heoi kihai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a ratou.
They shall cry, and there shall be no helper; to the Lord, but he hearkens not to them.
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 ground them as the dust of the earth, I beat them small as the mire of the streets.
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 you shall deliver me from the striving of the peoples, you shall keep me [to be] the head of the Gentiles: a people which I knew not served me.
45 Ka tuku mai nga tangata iwi ke ki raro i ahau: kia rongo kau te taringa, kakama tonu mai ratou ki ahau.
The strange children feigned [obedience] to me; they listened to me as soon as they heard.
46 Ka memeha haere nga tangata iwi ke: ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i o ratou kuhunga.
The strange children shall be cast away, and shall be overthrown out of their hiding places.
47 E ora ana a Ihowa, kia whakapaingia toku kamaka: kia whakanuia te Atua o te kamaka o toku whakaoranga:
The Lord lives, and blessed [be] my guardian, and my God, my strong keeper, shall be exalted.
48 Ara te Atua e rapu nei i te utu moku, e pehi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,
The Lord who avenges me [is] strong, chastening the nations 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.
and bringing me out from my enemies: and you shall set me on high from among those that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the violent man.
50 Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.
Therefore will I confess to you, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to your 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.
He magnifies the salvation of his king, and works mercy for his anointed, even for David and for his seed for ever.
