Waiata 124

1 He waiata; he pikitanga. Na Rawiri. Me kaua a Ihowa i a tatou, he ki tenei ma Iharaira:

Ko e Hiva ʻa Tevita maʻae ʻalu hake. Kapau naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu, ʻoku totonu ke lea ni ʻa ʻIsileli;

2 Me kaua a Ihowa i a tatou, i te whakatikanga mai o te tangata ki a tatou;

“Kapau naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu, ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kiate kitautolu:

3 Penei kua horomia oratia tatou e ratou, i te muranga o to ratou riri ki a tatou.

Pehē, kuo nau folo hifo leva ʻakitautolu, ʻi he tupu ʻenau ʻita kiate kitautolu;

4 Kua ngaro tatou i nga wai, kua taupokina o tatou wairua e te ia.

Pehē, kuo lōfia ʻakitautolu ʻe he ngaahi vai, kuo tafe ʻae vaitafe ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie:

5 Penei kua taupokina o tatou wairua e nga wai whakakake.

Pea ʻalu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe laukau ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie.”

6 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, kihai nei i tuku i a tatou hei ngaunga ma o ratou niho.

Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakitautolu ko e meʻakai ki honau nifo.

7 Kua mawhiti o tatou wairua, me he manu i roto i te mahanga a nga kaihopu; kua motu te mahanga, a mawhiti ana tatou.

Kuo hao hotau laumālie ʻo hangē ko e manupuna mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele: kuo maumauʻi ʻae tauhele, pea kuo tau hao ai.

8 Kei te ingoa o Ihowa he awhina mo tatou, kei te kaihanga i te rangi, i te whenua.

Ko hotau tokoni ʻoku ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
