1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, i te runanga o te hunga tika, i te whakaminenga.

Msifuni Bwana. Nitamtukuza Bwana kwa moyo wangu wote, katika baraza la wanyofu na katika kusanyiko.

2 He nui nga mahi a Ihowa; e whakatakina ana e te hunga katoa e manako ana ki aua mea.

Kazi za Bwana ni kuu, wote wanaopendezwa nazo huzitafakari.

3 He mea honore, he mea kororia tana mahi: tu tonu tona tika ake ake.

Kazi zake zimejaa fahari na utukufu, haki yake hudumu daima.

4 Kua meinga e ia kia maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo: he atawhai a Ihowa, he aroha.

Amefanya maajabu yake yakumbukwe, Bwana ni mwenye neema na huruma.

5 E homai ana e ia he kai ma te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia: ka mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata.

Huwapa chakula wale wanaomcha, hulikumbuka agano lake milele.

6 Kua whakakitea e ia ki tana iwi te kaha o ana mahi, i tana hoatutanga i to nga tauiwi hei kainga tupu mo ratou.

Amewaonyesha watu wake uwezo wa kazi zake, akiwapa nchi za mataifa mengine.

7 Ko nga mahi a ona ringa he pono, he whakawa tika: pono tonu ana akoranga katoa,

Kazi za mikono yake ni za uaminifu na haki, mausia yake yote ni ya kuaminika.

8 U tonu ake ake, e mahia ana i runga i te pono, i te tika.

Zinadumu milele na milele, zikifanyika kwa uaminifu na unyofu.

9 I tonoa mai e ia he whakaoranga mo tana iwi: kua kiia iho e ia tana kawenata mo ake tonu atu; he tapu tona ingoa, e wehingia ana.

Aliwapa watu wake ukombozi, aliamuru agano lake milele: jina lake ni takatifu na la kuogopwa.

10 Ko te timatanga o te whakaaro nui he wehi ki a Ihowa: he ngarahu nui to te hunga katoa nana era mahi; mau te whakamoemiti ki a ia, ake ake.

Kumcha Bwana ndicho chanzo cha hekima, wote wanaozifuata amri zake wana busara. Sifa zake zadumu milele.
