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 shall this song be sung in the land of Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
2 Whakatuwheratia nga kuwaha, kia tomo mai ai te iwi tika e pupuri ana i te pono.
Open ye the gates that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may enter in.
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.
By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.
4 Whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa a ake ake, no te mea kei te Ariki, kei a Ihowa, he kamaka mau tonu.
Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
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:
For hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto dust.
6 Takahia iho e te waewae, e nga waewae o nga rawakore, e nga takahanga o nga ware.
The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
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 iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
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.
Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to 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.
With my soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
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.
Let mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie 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, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure them.
12 Ka whakaritea e koe, e Ihowa, he rangimarie mo matou, nau nei hoki i mahi a matou mahi katoa ma matou.
Lord, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
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, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and 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.
The dead shall not liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
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.
Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes 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 trouble haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon them.
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.
Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, O Lord.
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 haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world 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.
Thy dead men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
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.
Come, my people: enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
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 lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
