Waiata 103
1 Na Rawiri. Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua; e nga mea katoa i roto i ahau, whakapaingia tona ingoa tapu.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua, kei wareware hoki ki ana painga katoa.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
3 Ko ia te muru nei i ou kino katoa; te rongo a nei i ou mate katoa.
who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,
4 Ko ia te hoko nei i tou ora kei ngaro; te karauna nei i a koe ki te atawhai, ki te aroha.
who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5 Nana nei i makona ai tou mangai i nga mea papai; i hou ai tou taitamarikitanga, i rite ai ki to te ekara.
who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 Ka puta i a Ihowa nga mahi tika, me te whakawa tika ki te hunga katoa e tukinotia ana.
Jehovah executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed.
7 I whakaakona e ia ana ara ki a Mohi, ana mahi ki nga tama a Iharaira.
He made known his ways to Moses, his doings to the sons of Israel.
8 Ki tonu a Ihowa i te aroha me te atawhai, he puhoi ki te riri, he nui hoki tana mahi tohu.
Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
9 E kore ia e whakatupuehupehu tonu, e kore ano e mauahara ake ake.
He will not always chide, nor will he keep it forever.
10 Kihai i rite ki o tatou hara ana meatanga ki a tatou: kihai ano i rite ki o tatou kino ana utu mai ki a tatou.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 He rite hoki ki te rangi e tiketike ake ana i te whenua, pera tonu te nui o tana mahi tohu ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
12 Pera i te matara o te rawhiti i te uru, pera tonu tana whakamataratanga atu i a tatou mahi tutu i a tatou.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 E aroha ana te matua ki ana tamariki, pera tonu to Ihowa aroha ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia.
Like as a father pities his sons, So Jehovah pities those who fear him.
14 E matau ana hoki ia ki to tatou ahua, e mahara ana he puehu tatou.
For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.
15 Ko te tangata ia, rite tonu ona ra ki o te tarutaru: kei te puawai o te mara, ko tona ngawhatanga.
As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 E rarungatia ana hoki e te hau, a kua kahore; kahore hoki e mohiotia a muri e tona wahi.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 Tena ko te mahi tohu a Ihowa no tua whakarere, a ake tonu ake, ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia: tona tika hoki ki nga uri o nga tamariki;
But the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to son's sons,
18 Ki te hunga e pupuri ana i tana kawenata, ki te hunga hoki e mahara ana ki ana ako kia mahia.
to such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to do them.
19 Kua oti i a Ihowa tona torona te whakatu ki nga rangi; a e kawanatia ana nga mea katoa e tona kingitanga.
Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e ana anahera, e hira nei te kaha, e whakarite nei i tana kupu, e whakarongo nei ki tona reo ina korero.
Bless Jehovah, ye his agents, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, hearkening to the voice of his word.
21 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e ana mano katoa, e ana minita e mahi nei i tana e pai ai.
Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, who do his pleasure.
22 Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e ana mahi katoa i nga wahi katoa o tona kingitanga: whakapaingia a Ihowa, e toku wairua.
Bless Jehovah, all ye his works in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
