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?

Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ao, Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn? Wo werɛ bɛfiri me afebɔɔ anaa? Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn na wode wʼanim bɛhinta me?

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?

Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn na mene mʼadwendwene bɛdi apereapereɛ na awerɛhoɔ ahyɛ mʼakoma mu daa? Mʼatamfoɔ nni me so nkonim nkɔsi da bɛn?

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.

Te wʼani hwɛ me na bua me, Ao, Awurade, me Onyankopɔn. Ma mʼani so nyɛ hann, na manna owuo nna.

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

Me ɔtamfoɔ bɛka sɛ, “Madi ne so nkonim.” Na mʼahohiahiafoɔ bɛdi ahurisie ɛberɛ a mahwe ase.

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

Nanso mede me ho to wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no so; mʼakoma di ahurisie wɔ wo nkwagyeɛ mu.

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

Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ ɔne me adi no yie.
