< Waiata 119 >
1 Ka hari te hunga he tapatahi nei i te ara, e haere nei i te ture a Ihowa.
2 Ka hari te hunga e mau ana ki ana whakaaturanga; e whakapaua ana o ratou ngakau ki te rapu i a ia.
3 Ae, e kore ratou e mahi i te kino; e haere ana ratou i ana ara.
4 Kua oti matou te whakahau ki au akoranga, kia ata puritia e matou.
5 Aue, me i whakatikaia toku ara ki te pupuri i au akoranga!
6 Ko reira ahau ka kore ai e whakama: i ahau ka whai whakaaro nei ki au whakahau katoa.
7 Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te ngakau tika, ina ako ahau i au whakaritenga tika.
8 Ka puritia e ahau au tikanga: kaua ahau e whakarerea rawatia.
9 He aha te mea e ma ai i te taitamariki tona ara? kia rite ki tau kupu tana whakamaharatanga iho.
10 Kua whakapaua e ahau toku ngakau ki te rapu i a koe: kaua ahau e tukua kia kotiti ke i au whakahau.
11 Kua whakatakotoria e ahau tau kupu ki roto ki toku ngakau, kei hara ahau ki a koe.
12 E Ihowa, ka whakapaingia koe: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
13 Kua whakapuakina e oku ngutu nga whakaritenga katoa a tou mangai.
14 Ko toku koa i te ara o au whakaaturanga, me te mea mo nga taonga katoa.
15 Ka whakaaroaro ahau ki au ako, a ka whai mahara ki au huarahi.
16 He oranga ngakau ki ahau au tikanga: e kore ahau e wareware ki tau kupu.
17 Kia atawhai ki tau pononga, kia ora ai ahau; kia puritia ai hoki tau kupu.
18 Whakatirohia oku kanohi kia kite ai ahau i nga mea whakamiharo i roto i tau ture.
19 He manene ahau i runga i te whenua: kaua au whakahau e huna ki ahau.
20 Ka ngawha toku wairua i te matenui atu ki au whakaritenga i nga wa katoa.
21 Kua riria e koe te hunga whakakake kua oti nei te kanga, e kotiti ke nei i au whakahau.
22 Parea atu i ahau te tawai me te whakahawea: kua mau hoki ahau ki au whakaaturanga.
23 I noho ano hoki nga rangatira ki te korero kino moku: otira e whakaaro ana tau pononga ki au tikanga.
24 Ko au whakaaturanga ano toku oranga ngakau, oku hoa whakatakoto whakaaro.
25 Piri tonu toku wairua ki te puehu; whakahauoratia ahau kia rite ki atu kupu.
26 I whakaaturia e ahau oku ara, a whakahoki kupu ana koe ki ahau: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
27 Meinga ahau kia matau ki te ara o au ako: kia whakaaroaro ai ahau ki au mahi whakamiharo.
28 E maturuturu iho ana toku wairua i te pouri: kia rite ki tau kapu tau whakau ake i ahau.
29 Whakamataratia atu i ahau te ara o te teka: kia atawhai mai hoki, a homai tau ture.
30 Kua whiriwhiria e ahau te ara o te pono: ka waiho e ahau au whakaritenga ki toku aroaro.
31 Piri tonu ahau ki au whakaaturanga: e Ihowa, kei whakama ahau.
32 Ka oma ahau i te ara o au whakahau, ina whakanuia e koe toku ngakau.
33 E Ihowa, whakaakona ahau ki te ara o au tikanga: a ka mau i ahau taea noatia te mutunga.
34 Homai he matauranga ki ahau, a ka mau i ahau tau ture; ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te pupuri.
35 Meinga ahau kia haere i te ara o au whakahau; ko taku hoki tena e whakaahuareka nei.
36 Whakaangahia toku ngakau ki au whakaaturanga; kaua hoki ki te apo.
37 Whakatahuritia ketia oku kanohi kei kite i te horihori: whakahauorangia ahau i tau ara.
38 Whakapumautia tau kupu ki tau pononga, e wehi nei ki a koe.
39 Parea atu toku tawainga, e wehi nei ahau: he pai hoki au whakaritenga.
40 Nana, kua matenui ahau ki au ako: whakahauorangia ahau i runga i tou tika.
41 Kia puta ano au mahi tohu ki ahau, e Ihowa: ara tau whakaoranga, kia rite ki tau kupu.
42 Penei ka whai kupu maku ki toku kaitawai; noku ka whakawhirinaki ki tau kupu.
43 Kaua e tangohia rawatia i toku mangai te kupu o te pono: e tumanako nei hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.
44 Penei ka puritia e ahau tau ture ake ake.
45 A ka haereere noa ahau; kua rapua hoki e ahau au akoranga.
46 Ka korerotia ano e ahau au whakaaturanga ki te aroaro o nga kingi, e kore ano e whakama.
47 A ka waiho e ahau hei oranga ngakau moku au whakahau e aroha nei ahau.
48 Ka toro atu hoki oku ringa ki au whakahau e aroha nei ahau, ka whakaaroaro ano ki au tikanga.
49 Maharatia te kupu ki tau pononga, no te mea kua meinga ahau e koe kia tumanako atu.
50 Ko toku oranga ngakau tenei i ahau e tangi nei: na tau kupu nei hoki ahau i whakahauora.
51 Nui rawa te whakahi ki ahau o te hunga whakakake: heoi kihai ahau i peka ke i tau ture.
52 I mahara ahau ki au whakaritenga, e Ihowa, o tua iho; a marie ana toku ngakau.
53 Mau pu ahau i te pawera, mo te hunga kino kua whakarere nei i tau ture.
54 Ko au tikanga aku e himene ai i te whare i noho manene ai ahau.
55 I mahara ahau ki tou ingoa i te po, e Ihowa: a puritia ana e ahau tau ture.
56 I ahau tenei, he mau noku ki au ako.
57 Ko Ihowa toku wahi: kua mea nei ahau, ka pupuri ahau i au kupu.
58 I whakapaua toku ngakau ki te inoi ki a koe kia pai mai: kia rite ki tau kupu tau mahi tohu ki ahau.
59 I whakaaro ahau ki oku ara: a anga ana oku waewae ki au whakaaturanga.
60 I hohoro ahau, a kihai i whakaroa ki te pupuri i au whakahau.
61 Karapotia putia ana ahau e nga here a te hunga kino: kihai ia ahau i wareware ki tau ture.
62 I waenganui po ka ara ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe mo au whakaritenga tika.
63 He hoa ahau no te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a koe; no te hunga ano e pupuri ana i au ako.
64 Ki tonu, e Ihowa, te whenua i tau mahi tohu: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
65 Pai rawa tau hanga ki tau pononga, e Ihowa; rite tonu ki tau kupu.
66 Whakaakona ahau ki te ngarahu pai, ki te matauranga: kua whakapono hoki ahau ki au whakahau.
67 I ahau kiano i whakawhiua, i he ahau: tena ko tenei ka puritia e ahau tau kupu.
68 He pai koe, he pai hoki au mahi: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.
69 Kua titoa e te hunga whakakake he teka moku: ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te pupuri i au ako.
70 He ngako rawa to ratou ngakau, koia ano kei te taupa: ko ahau ia, he oranga ngakau ki ahau tau ture.
71 Marie ano ahau kia pehia e te pouri; i ako ai ahau i au tikanga.
72 Ko te ture a tou mangai pai ke atu ki ahau i nga mano o te koura, o te hiriwa.
73 Na ou ringa ahau i hanga, i whakawhaiahua: homai he matauranga ki ahau, kia ako ai ahau ki au whakahau.
74 Ka hari te hunga e wehi ana i a koe ina kite i ahau: noku i tumanako ki tau kupu.
75 E matau ana ahau, e Ihowa, he tika au whakaritenga; a he pono nou i pehia ai toku ngakau e koe.
76 Tena ra, waiho tau mahi tohu hei whakamarie moku; kia rite ki tau kupu ki tau pononga.
77 Kia puta ki ahau au mahi aroha, kia ora ai ahau; ko tau ture hoki toku oranga ngakau.
78 Kia whakama te hunga whakakake; no te mea kahore he take i he ai ta ratou hanga ki ahau; ko ahau ia ka whakaaroaro ki au akoranga.
79 Ko te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe me anga ki ahau, a ka mohio ratou ki au whakaaturanga.
80 Kia tapatahi toku ngakau ki au tikanga; kei whakama ahau.
81 E matenui ana toku wairua ki tau whakaoranga: otiia ka tumanako ahau ki tau kupu.
82 Matawaia ana oku kanohi, he meatanga ki tau kupu, i ahau e mea ana, Ahea koe whakamarie ai i ahau?
83 Kua rite nei hoki ahau ki te koki i roto i te paoa: he ahakoa e kore ahau e wareware ki au tikanga.
84 E hia nga ra o tau pononga? a hea koe whakarite whakawa ai mo te hunga e tukino nei i ahau?
85 Kua keri poka te hunga whakakake moku; he mea kahore e rite ki tau ture.
86 Pono tonu au whakahau katoa: e tukino takekore ana ratou i ahau; awhinatia mai ahau.
87 Wahi iti kua moti ahau i a ratou i runga i te whenua: otira kihai i mahue i ahau au akoranga.
88 Kia rite ki tou aroha tau whakahauora i ahau: a ka puritia e ahau nga whakaaturanga a tou mangai.
89 Pumau tonu tau kupu, e Ihowa, ake ake i runga i te rangi.
90 Kei nga whakatupuranga katoa tou pono: whakaungia ana e koe te whenua, a e tu nei ano.
91 E tu nei ano inaianei, pera tonu me tau i whakarite ai, he pononga hoki nga mea katoa nau.
92 Me kaua tau ture hei oranga mo toku ngakau, kua ngaro ahau i reira i toku auetanga.
93 E kore rawa ahau e wareware ki au ako, he mea whakahauora hoki nau ena i ahau.
94 Nau ahau, mau ahau e whakaora: kua rapua hoki e ahau au ako.
95 Kua tatari te hunga kino ki ahau kia whakamatea: ka whakaaro ia ahau ki au whakaaturanga.
96 Kua kitea e ahau te mutunga o nga mea tino tika katoa: he whanui rawa ia tau whakahau.
97 Ano toku aroha ki tau ture! Ko taku tena e whakaaroaro ai i te roa o te ra.
98 Nau i hira ake ai oku whakaaro i o oku hoariri, na au whakahau, e piri tonu nei ki ahau.
99 Nui atu oku mahara i o oku kaiwhakaako katoa: noku i whakaaroaro tonu ki au whakaaturanga.
100 Tera atu toku mohio i to nga kaumatua, no te mea i pupuri ahau i au ako.
101 Kua kaiponuhia mai e ahau oku waewae i nga ara kino katoa, kia pupuri ai ahau i tau kupu.
102 Kihai ahau i titaha i au whakaritenga; nau hoki ahau i ako.
103 Ano te reka o au kupu ki toku ngao; ae ra, reka atu i te honi ki toku mangai.
104 Na au ako ahau i whai mohio ai: na reira ahau i kino ai ki nga ara teka katoa.
105 He rama tau kupu ki oku waewae, he marama ki toku ara.
106 Kua oati ahau, a ka whakamana ano e ahau: kia puritia e ahau au whakaritenga tika.
107 He nui te mamae o toku ngakau: whakahauorangia ahau, e Ihowa, kia rite ki tau kupu.
108 Manakohia, e Ihowa, nga ohaohatanga a toku mangai, whakaakona hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.
109 Kei toku ringa tonu toku wairua, heoi kahore ahau e wareware ki tau ture.
110 Kua whakatakotoria e te hunga kino he mahanga moku: heoi kahore ahau i peka ke i au ako.
111 Ka waiho e ahau au whakaaturanga hei kainga tupu moku ake ake: ko toku koanga ngakau hoki ena.
112 Kua whakaanga e ahau toku ngakau ki te mahi tonu i au tikanga: a te mutunga ra ano.
113 E kino ana ahau ki te hunga whakaaro ruarua; ko tau ture ia taku e aroha ai.
114 Ko toku piringa koe, ko toku whakangungu rakau: e tumanako ana ahau ki tau kupu.
115 Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga kino; ka whakaritea hoki e ahau nga whakahau a toku Atua.
116 Kia rite ki tau kupu tau tautoko ake i ahau, kia ora ai ahau: kaua hoki ahau e tukua kia whakama ki taku e tumanako atu nei.
117 Tautokona ake ahau, kia ora ai ahau, a ka whai whakaaro tonu ahau ki au tikanga.
118 Kua whakahaweatia e koe te hunga katoa e kotiti ke ana i au tikanga; he horihori hoki to ratou tinihanga.
119 Ka whakakahoretia e koe te hunga kino katoa o te whenua, ano he para mata: koia ahau i aroha ai ki au whakaaturanga.
120 Wiri ana oku kikokiko i te wehi ki a koe; e mataku ana hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.
121 He whakawa tika, he tika taku mahi: kaua ahau e tukua ki oku kaitukino.
122 Ko koe hei tuara mo tau pononga mo te pai: kei tukinotia ahau e te hunga whakakake.
123 Matawaia ana oku kanohi i te meatanga ki tau whakaora, ki te kupu hoki o tau tika.
124 Kia rite ki tou aroha tau mahi ki tau pononga: whakaakona hoki ahau ki au tikanga.
125 He pononga ahau nau; homai he mahara ki ahau, kia matau ai ki au whakaaturanga.
126 Kua rite te wa hei mahinga ma Ihowa; kua whakakahoretia hoki e ratou tau ture.
127 Na reira i arohaina rawatia ai e ahau au whakahau i te koura, ae, i te tino koura.
128 Na reira tika tonu ki ahau au ako katoa mo nga mea katoa: kino iho ano ahau ki nga ara teka katoa.
129 He mea whakamiharo au whakaaturanga: i mau ai toku wairua ki reira.
130 Ko te whakapuakanga o au kupu he homai marama; na reira i homai he mahara ki nga kuware.
131 I hamama toku mangai, i kihakiha: he matenui noku ki au whakahau.
132 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau: kia rite ki tau hanga ki te hunga e aroha ana ki tou ingoa.
133 Whakatikaia oku hikoinga ki runga i tau kupu: kaua hoki tetahi he e tukua hei rangatira moku.
134 Whakaorangia ahau i te tukino a te tangata: a ka puritia e ahau au ako.
135 Kia marama mai tou mata ki tau pononga: whakaakona hoki ahau ki au tikanga.
136 Heke noa nga awa wai o oku kanohi; mo ratou kahore i pupuri i tau ture.
137 He tika koe, e Ihowa, he tika ano au whakaritenga.
138 He tika, he pono rawa au whakaaturanga i whakahaua mai e koe.
139 Ka ngaro ahau i toku ngakau whakapuke, mo au kupu ka wareware nei i oku hoariri.
140 Hore rawa he para o tau kupu: koia i arohaina ai e tau pononga.
141 He iti ahau, e whakahaweatia ana: heoi kahore ahau e wareware ki au ako.
142 He tika pumau tonu tou tika; he pono hoki tau ture.
143 Kua pa mai ki ahau te pouri me te mamae: ko au whakahau ia toku oranga ngakau.
144 Pumau tonu te tika o au whakaaturanga: homai he mahara ki ahau, a ka ora ahau.
145 I whakapaua toku ngakau ki te karanga; whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e Ihowa; ka mau i ahau au tikanga.
146 I karanga ahau ki a koe: whakaorangia ahau, a ka puritia e ahau au whakaaturanga.
147 Kiano te ata i puao noa, kua karanga ahau: i tumanako ahau ki au kupu.
148 I hohoro oku kanohi i nga mataaratanga ki te whakaaroaro ki tau kupu.
149 Whakarongo ki toku reo, kia rite ki tou aroha: kia rite, e Ihowa, ki tau i whakarite ai tau whakahauora i ahau.
150 E whakatata mai ana te hunga e whai ana i te whanoke: kei tawhiti atu ratou i tau ture.
151 E tata ana mai koe, e Ihowa: he pono katoa au whakahau.
152 Nonamata ahau i matau ai ki au whakaaturanga, he mea whakapumau nau no tua whakarere.
153 Whakaaro mai ki toku mate, a whakaorangia ahau: kahore hoki ahau e wareware ki tau ture.
154 Tohea taku tohe, whakaorangia hoki ahau: kia rite ki tau kupu tau whakahauoranga i ahau.
155 Kei tawhiti atu i te hunga kino te whakaoranga: kahore hoki ratou e rapu ki au tikanga.
156 E Ihowa, he nui au mahi tohu: kia rite ki au whakaritenga tau whakahauora i ahau.
157 He tokomaha oku kaitukino, oku hoariri: heoi kahore ahau i peka ke i au whakaaturanga.
158 I kite ahau i nga kaimahi i te kino, a pouri iho: no ratou kahore e pupuri i tau kupu.
159 Tirohia mai toku aroha ki au ako: kia rite ki tou aroha, e Ihowa, tau whakahauora i ahau.
160 Ko te huinga katoatanga o tau kupu he pono; pumau katoa anao au whakaritenga tika ake ake.
161 Hore he rawa i tukinotia ai ahau e nga rangatira: otiia e wehi ana toku ngakau i tau kupu.
162 E hari ana ahau ki tau kupu: ano he tangata kua whiwhi ki te taonga nui.
163 E kino ana ahau, e whakarihariha ana ki te korero teka: ko tau ture ia taku i aroha ai.
164 Takiwhitu aku whakamoemiti ki a koe i te ra tahi mo au whakaritenga tika.
165 He rangimarie nui to te hunga e aroha ana ki tau ture: e kore hoki o ratou waewae e tutuki.
166 A kua tumanako ahau ki tau whakaora, e Ihowa, kua mahi ahau i au whakahau.
167 Kua puritia e toku wairua au whakaaturanga, ae, e arohaina nuitia ana e ahau.
168 Kua puritia e ahau au ako me au whakaaturanga: kei tou aroaro hoki oku ara katoa.
169 Tukua atu taku tangi kia tata atu ki tou aroaro, e Ihowa: homai he mahara ki ahau, kia rite ki tau kupu.
170 Kia tae atu taku inoi ki tou aroaro: kia rite ki tau kupu whakaora i ahau.
171 Kia whakapuaki oku ngutu i te whakamoemiti: e whakaako ana hoki koe i ahau ki au tikanga.
172 Ma toku arero e korero tau kupu: he tika hoki au whakahau katoa.
173 Kia rite tou ringa ki te awhina i ahau; kua whiriwhiria hoki e ahau ko au ako.
174 Kua matenui ahau ki tau whakaora, e Ihowa: ko tau ture hoki toku oranga ngakau.
175 Kia ora toku wairua, a ka whakamoemiti ia ki a koe: kia awhinatia hoki ahau e au whakaritenga.
176 Kua kotiti ke ahau me he hipi ngaro: rapua tau pononga, kahore hoki ahau e wareware ki au whakahau.
