Ihaia 12

1 A i taua ra ka mea koe, Ka whakamoemiti atu ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa: ahakoa hoki i riri koe ki ahau, kua tahuri atu tou riri, a kei te whakamarie koe i ahau.

And thou shalt say in that day: I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thou wast angry with me: thy wrath is turned away, and thou hast comforted me.

2 Nana, ko te Atua toku whakaoranga; ka whakawhirinaki ahau, e kore ano e wehi; ko te Ariki hoki, ko IHOWA toku kaha, taku waiata, ko ia ano hei whakaoranga moku.

Behold, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: O because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation.

3 Na ka utu wai koutou i runga i te koa i roto i nga puna o te whakaoranga;

You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour’s fountains:

4 Ka mea ano hoki i taua ra, Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, karanga atu ki tona ingoa; whakaaturia ana mahi ki roto i nga iwi; kauwhautia atu kua oti tona ingoa te whakaneke ake.

And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high.

5 Waiata ki a Ihowa, he nui noa atu hoki ana mahi: meinga kia mohiotia tenei puta noa i te ao.

Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth.

6 Hamama, kia nui te reo, e te wahine e noho ana i Hiona, he nui hoki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira i waenganui i a koe.

Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the Holy One of Israel.
