Waiata 111

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

Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē, ʻi he fakataha ʻoe angatonu, pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai.

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

‌ʻOku lahi ʻae ngāue ʻa Sihova, ʻoku kumi ki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fiefia ai.

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

‌ʻOku ongoongolelei mo nāunauʻia ʻa ʻene ngāue: pea ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni.

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

Kuo ne fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ke manatu ia ʻe he kakai: ʻoku manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova, pea fonu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.

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

Kuo foaki ʻe ia ʻae meʻakai kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia: te ne manatuʻi maʻuaipē ʻa ʻene fuakava.

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.

Kuo ne fakahā ki hono kakai ʻae mālohi ʻo ʻene ngaahi ngāue, koeʻuhi ke ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe hiteni.

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

Ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa hono nima ko e moʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku moʻoni ʻa ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.

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

‌ʻOku tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata, pea kuo fai ia ʻi he moʻoni mo e angatonu.

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.

Naʻa ne fekau atu ʻae huhuʻi ki hono kakai: kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻene fuakava ʻo lauikuonga: ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mo ngeia ʻa hono huafa.

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.

Ko e manavahē kia Sihova ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻoe poto: ʻoku poto ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai ki heʻene fekau: ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.
