1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. E te Atua, e whakamoemiti nei ahau, kei wahangu koe:
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku fakamālō, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē;
2 Kua puaki hoki te mangai o te tangata kino me te mangai o te tangata tinihanga, ki te he moku: he teka o ratou arero, e korero nei moku.
He kuo mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe angahala mo e ngutu ʻoe kākā kiate au: kuo nau lea kovi kiate au ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo loi.
3 I karapotia hoki ahau e ratou ki nga kupu mauahara, a i whawhai takekore ki ahau.
Naʻa nau kāpui foki au ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe taufehiʻa; mo nau tauʻi au taʻehanoʻuhinga.
4 Mo toku aroha he riri ta ratou whakautu: ko ahau ia, he inoi taku.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kuo hoko ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili: ka te u hangahanga lotu pe au.
5 E homai ana e ratou ki ahau he kino mo te pai, he mauahara mo toku aroha.
Pea kuo nau totongi ʻaki kiate au ʻae kovi ki he lelei, mo e fehiʻa ki heʻeku ʻofa.
6 Meinga he tangata kino hei rangatira mona; kia tu he hoariri ki tona ringa matau.
Ke ke fakanofo ʻae tangata angakovi ke pule kiate ia: pea tuku ke tuʻu ʻa Sētane ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu.
7 Kia tau te he ki a ia, ina whakawakia: kia waiho ano tana inoi hei hara.
‌ʻOka fakamaau ia, tuku ke halaia ia pea tuku ke hoko ʻene lotu ko e angahala.
8 Kia torutoru ona ra; kia riro tana mahi tirotiro i tetahi atu.
Tuku ke siʻi pē hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea ke maʻu ʻe ha taha kehe ʻene ngāue.
9 Kia pania ana tamariki, kia pouarutia hoki tana wahine.
Tuku ke tamai mate ʻene fānau, pea hoko ʻa hono uaifi ko e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.
10 Kia kopikopiko noa ana tamariki, pinono ai: kia rapu kai hoki ma ratou i o ratou wahi mokemoke.
Tuku ke ne maʻuaipē ʻene fānau, mo kole: pea tuku kenau kumi foki ʻenau mā mei honau ngaahi potu ʻoku lala.
11 Kia haoa e te kaituku moni ana mea katoa; kia pahuatia hoki e nga tangata iwi ke ana mauiuitanga.
Tuku ke maʻu ʻe he fakamālohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; pea maumauʻi ʻe he kau muli ʻene ngāue.
12 Kaua tetahi hei hoatu noa i te aroha ki a ia: kaua hoki tetahi hei atawhai i ana pani.
‌ʻOua naʻa tuku ha taha ke manavaʻofa kiate ia: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ha taha ke ʻofa ki heʻene fānau ʻoku tamai mate.
13 Kia hatepea putia ona uri: a i to muri whakatupuranga kia horoia rawatia atu o ratou ingoa.
Tuku ke tuʻusi hono hako; pea ʻi he toʻutangata ʻe haʻu tuku ke tāmateʻi honau hingoa.
14 Kia maharatia e Ihowa te kino o ona matua: kei murua hoki te hara o tona whaea.
Ke manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ʻae angahala ʻa ʻene faʻē.
15 Kia mau tonu ki te aroaro o Ihowa: kia hatepea atu ai e ia te maharatanga ki a ratou i runga i te whenua.
Tuku maʻuaipē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne tuʻusi honau fakamanatuʻi mei māmani.
16 Mona kihai i mahara ki te mahi tohu: heoi tukino ana ia i te ware, i te rawakore, i te hunga ngakau maru, kia patua ai ratou.
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai manatuʻi ʻe ia ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa, ka naʻa ne fakatanga ʻae tangata masiva mo paea, koeʻuhi ke ne tāmateʻi ʻaia ʻoku mafesi hono loto.
17 Ae ra, i pai ia ki te kanga, a kua tae mai ki a ia: kihai ia i aro ki te manaaki, heoi kua mamao tera i a ia.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻofa ki he kapekape, ko ia ke hoko ia kiate ia: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene taʻefiefia ʻi he tāpuaki, ko ia ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate ia.
18 I kakahu ia i te kanga ki a ia, ano ko tona kakahu: na kua tae tera ki roto ki a ia ano he wai, me he hinu hoki ki roto ki ona wheua.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kape ʻo hangē ko e kofu, ko ia ke hoko ia ki hono kete ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea hangē ko e lolo ki hono ngaahi hui.
19 Waiho ki a ia hei kakahu hipoki mona, hei whitiki hoki e whitikiria tonutia ai ia.
Ke tatau ia kiate ia mo e kofu ʻaia ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia, pea mo e noʻo ʻaia ʻoku nonoʻo ʻaki maʻuaipē ia.
20 Na hei utu tena ma Ihowa ki oku hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e korero kino nei ki toku wairua.
Tuku eni ko e totongi ki hoku ngaahi fili meia Sihova, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ki hoku laumālie.
21 Kia puta tau mahi moku, e te Atua, e te Ariki, he whakaaro ki tou ingoa: na te mea he pai tau mahi tohu, whakaorangia ahau,
Ka ke fai ʻe koe maʻaku, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ko ho huafa: koeʻuhi ʻoku lelei hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ke ke fakamoʻui au.
22 He ware hoki ahau, he rawakore, kua mamae hoki toku ngakau i roto i ahau.
He ʻoku ou masiva mo paea, pea kuo lavea hoku loto ʻiate au.
23 Ka riro ahau me te atarangi e whakawairua kau ana: e peipeia ana ahau me he mawhitiwhiti.
Kuo u mole atu ʻo hangē ko e ʻata ʻoka fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ia: kuo feʻaveʻaki au ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe.
24 Hurorirori kau oku turi i te nohopuku; a e kohia ana te ngako o oku kikokiko.
‌ʻOku vaivai hoku tui ʻi he ʻaukai: pea kuo mole ʻae sino ʻo hoku kakano.
25 Kua waiho ahau hei tawainga ma ratou: ka kite ratou i ahau, ka ruru o ratou matenga.
Ne u hoko foki ko e manukiʻanga kiate kinautolu: ʻi heʻenau sio mai kiate au, naʻa nau kalokalo honau ʻulu.
26 Awhinatia ahau, e Ihowa, e toku Atua: kia rite ki tou aroha tau whakaora i ahau.
Tokoniʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa:
27 Kia matau ai ratou ko tou ringa itene: a nau tenei, e Ihowa, i mea.
Koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ko ho nima eni; pea ko koe, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fai ia.
28 Ma ratou e kanga, mau ia e manaaki: kia whakama ratou ina whakatika; ko tau pononga ia kia hari.
Tuku kenau kape, ka ke fakamonūʻia ʻe koe: ʻoka nau ka tuʻu hake, tuku ke nau mā; kae tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
29 Kia whakakakahuria oku hoariri ki te whakama, a ko to ratou numinumi hei koroka hipoki mo ratou.
Tuku ke kofu ʻa hoku ngaahi fili ʻaki ʻae mā, pea tuku kenau ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻenau puputuʻu, ʻo hangē ko e pulupulu.
30 Ka tino whakawhetai toku mangai ki a Ihowa, ae ra, ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a ia i waenganui o te mano.
Te u fakamālō lahi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku ngutu; ʻio, te u fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe tokolahi.
31 E tu hoki ia ki te ringa matau o te rawakore, hei whakaora i a ia i te hunga e whakahe ana i tona wairua.
Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe masiva, ke fakamoʻui ia meiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fakahalaia hono laumālie.
