Waiata 101
1 He himene na Rawiri. Ka waiatatia e ahau te mahi tohu me te whakawa tika: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa.
Of David a psalm covenant loyalty and justice I will sing to you O Yahweh I will sing praises.
2 Ka ata whakahaere ahau i ahau i runga i te ara tika. A hea koe haere mai ai ki ahau? Ka haereere ahau i roto i toku whare i runga i te ngakau tapatahi.
I will give attention - to a way blameless when? will you come to me I will walk about in [the] integrity of heart my in [the] midst of house my.
3 E kore te mea tutua e waiho e ahau i mua i oku kanohi; e kino ana ahau ki te mahi a te hunga peka ke: e kore e piri ki ahau.
Not I will set - to before eyes my a thing of worthlessness [the] doing of swerving deeds I hate not it will cling to me.
4 Ka mawehe atu i ahau te ngakau parori ke: e kore ahau e mohio ki te mea kino.
A heart perverse it will depart from me evil not I will know.
5 Ko te tangata e ngautuara puku ana ki tona hoa ka whakangaromia e ahau: e kore ahau e aro ki te tangata kanohi whakakake, ki te tangata ngakau whakapakari.
([one who] slanders *Q(k)*) In secrecy - neighbor his him I will destroy [the] haughty of eyes and [the] wide of heart him not I will be able.
6 Kei runga i nga mea pono o te whenua oku kanohi, kia noho ai ratou ki ahau: ko te tangata e haere ana i te ara tika, ka mahi tena ki ahau.
Eyes my - [will be] on [the] faithful [people] of [the] earth to dwell with me [one who] walks in a way blameless he he will serve me.
7 E kore e noho ki toku whare te kaimahi i te hianga: e kore e tu ki toku aroaro te tangata korero teka.
Not he will dwell - in [the] midst of house my [one who] does deceit [one who] speaks lies not he will be established to before eyes my.
8 I tenei ata, i tenei ata, ka whakangaromia e ahau nga tangata kikino katoa o te whenua: kia hatepea atu ai i te pa o te Atua te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino.
To the mornings I will destroy all [the] wicked [people] of [the] land to cut off from [the] city of Yahweh all [those who] do wickedness.
