Ihaia 26
1 I taua ra ka waiatatia tenei waiata i te whenua o Hura. He pa kaha to tatou; ka whakaritea e ia te whakaora hei taiepa, hei pekerangi.
In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
2 Whakatuwheratia nga kuwaha, kia tomo mai ai te iwi tika e pupuri ana i te pono.
Open ye the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
3 Mau e pupuri i runga i te rangimarie rawa te tangata e u ana te whakaaro ki a koe; nana hoki i whakawhirinaki ki a koe.
supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on thee, O Lord,
4 Whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa a ake ake, no te mea kei te Ariki, kei a Ihowa, he kamaka mau tonu.
they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
5 Kua whakahokia iho hoki e ia te hunga e noho ana i runga, te pa tiketike; takoto rawa i a ia, takoto rawa ki te whenua, pa rawa ki te puehu:
who hast humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, thou shalt cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
6 Takahia iho e te waewae, e nga waewae o nga rawakore, e nga takahanga o nga ware.
And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
7 Ko te ara o te tangata tika, he tika; e whakatikaia ana e koe, e te mea tika, te ara o te tangata tika.
The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
8 Kei te ara nei ano matou o au whakaritenga e tatari ana ki a koe, e Ihowa; ko tou ingoa, ko te mahara ki a koe ta o matou wairua e minamina nei.
For the way of the Lord is judgment: we have hoped in thy name, and on the remembrance [of thee],
9 Minamina tonu ahau, toku ngakau, ki a koe i te po; ae ra, ka moata ahau, toku wairua, ki te rapu i a koe; no te mea i nga wa e puta ai au whakaritenga ki te whenua, ka akona te tika e nga tangata o te ao.
which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.
10 Atawhaitia iho te tangata kino, e kore ia e ako i te tika; i te whenua o te tika ka he tana mahi, e kore ano ia e kite i te nui o Ihowa.
For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
11 E Ihowa, kua ara tou ringa ki runga, heoi kahore ratou e kite: otiia ka kite ratou i tou hae mo te iwi, a ka whakama; ae ra, ma te ahi e kai ou hoariri.
O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
12 Ka whakaritea e koe, e Ihowa, he rangimarie mo matou, nau nei hoki i mahi a matou mahi katoa ma matou.
O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to us all things.
13 E Ihowa, e to matou Atua, he ariki ke ano, i tua ake i a koe, i noho hei rangatira mo matou; mau anake ia matou ka mahara ai ki tou ingoa.
O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside thee: we name thy name.
14 Kua mate ratou, e kore e ora; he tupapaku ratou, e kore e ara; na kua tirohia nei ratou e koe, ngaro iho i a koe, huna katoatia ana e koe te mahara ki a ratou.
But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore thou hast brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and hast taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
15 Kua whakaraneatia e koe te iwi, e Ihowa, kua whakaraneatia e koe te iwi: kua whai kororia koe: nau i whakanui nga rohe katoa o te whenua.
bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
16 E Ihowa, i te rarurarutanga i haere atu ratou ki a koe, a i ringihia atu e ratou he inoi, i te mea e papaki ana koe i a ratou.
Lord, in affliction I remembered thee; thy chastening was to us with small affliction.
17 He pera i te wahine hapu, ka tata ia te whanau, e whakamamae ana, e aue ana i ona mamae; ko to matou rite tera i tou aroaro, e Ihowa.
And as a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved.
18 I te hapu matou, i te mamae matou, kua whanau ta matou me te mea he hau; kihai i oti i a matou he whakaora i runga i te whenua; kihai ano hoki i hinga nga tangata o te ao.
We have conceived, O Lord, because of thy fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
19 Ka ora ou tangata mata; ka ara oku tinana mate, Maranga, waiata, e te hunga kei te puehu nei to koutou kainga; no te mea kei te tomairangi o nga otaota te rite o tou tomairangi; a ka maka mai nga tupapaku e te whenua.
The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
20 Haere, e toku iwi, e tomo ki roto ki ou ruma, tutakina ou tatau i muri i a koe; e piri, he wahi iti kau nei, kia pahemo ra ano te riri.
Go, my people, enter into thy closets, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
21 No te mea tenei a Ihowa te puta nei i tona wahi ki te whiu i te he o nga tangata o te whenua; a ka whakakitea ona toto e te whenua; e kore ano e hipokina e ia i muri nei tona hunga i patua.
For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
