Waiata 122

1 He waiata; he pikitanga. Na Rawiri. I koa ahau i ta ratou meatanga mai ki ahau; Tatou ka haere ki te whare o Ihowa.

The song of the grecis of Dauid. I am glad in these thingis, that ben seid to me; We schulen go in to the hous of the Lord.

2 E tu ana o matou waewae ki ou tatau, e Hiruharama:

Oure feet weren stondynge; in thi hallis, thou Jerusalem.

3 Ko te hanganga o Hiruharama, rite tonu ki to te pa kua tuhonohonoa ki a ia ano.

Jerusalem, which is bildid as a citee; whos part taking therof is in to the same thing.

4 Haereere ana ki reira nga iwi, nga iwi o Ihowa, ki to Iharaira whakaaturanga, ki te whakawhetai ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

For the lynagis, the lynagis of the Lord stieden thidir, the witnessing of Israel; to knouleche to the name of the Lord.

5 Kua whakaturia hoki ki reira nga torona whakawa, nga torona o te whare o Rawiri.

For thei saten there on seetis in doom; seetis on the hous of Dauid.

6 Inoia he ata noho mo Hiruharama: ka whiwhi ki te pai te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe.

Preie ye tho thingis, that ben to the pees of Jerusalem; and abundaunce be to hem that louen thee.

7 Kia mau te rongo ki ou taiepa, me te pai ki ou whare kingi.

Pees be maad in thi vertu; and abundaunce in thi touris.

8 He mea mo oku teina, mo oku hoa, taku e mea nei, Kia mau te rongo ki roto ki a koe.

For my britheren and my neiyboris; Y spak pees of thee.

9 He whakaaro ki te whare o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ka rapu ahau i te pai mou.

For the hous of oure Lord God; Y souyte goodis to thee.
