Waiata 13

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Kia pehea te roa o tou wareware ki ahau, e Ihowa? mo ake tonu atu ranei? Kia pehea te roa o tau hunanga i tou mata ki ahau?

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Mo hoʻo kei fakangalongaloʻi au? Ke taʻengata? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻo fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au?

2 Kia pehea te roa o toku whakaaroaronga i roto i toku wairua, o te pouri i roto i toku ngakau i tenei ra, i tenei ra? Kia pehea te roa o te whakakake mai a toku hoariri ki ahau?

‌ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo ʻeku lauloto mo hoku laumālie, ʻo loto mamahi pē ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo e fielahi kiate au ʻa hoku fili?

3 Titiro mai, whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e Ihowa, e toku Atua: whakamaramatia oku kanohi, kei moe ahau i te moe o te mate.

‌ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ke ke tokanga mai pea ongoʻi au: fakamaama hoku mata, telia naʻaku mohe ʻi he mohe ʻoe mate;

4 Kei mea mai toku hoariri, Kua taea ia e ahau: kei whakamanamana oku hoariri, ina whakakorikoria ahau.

Telia naʻa pehē ʻe hoku fili, “Kuo u ikuna ia;” pea fiefia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakamamahiʻi au ʻo kau ka ngaue.

5 Ko ahau ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki tau mahi toku: ka whakamanamana toku ngakau ki tau whakaoranga.

Ka kuo u falala ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; ʻo fiefia hoku loto ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui.

6 Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa, mona i atawhai mai ki ahau.

Te u hiva kia Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai lelei lahi ʻaupito kiate au.
