Waiata 132
1 He waiata; he pikitanga. E Ihowa, maharatia a Rawiri, me ona mamaetanga ngakau katoa;
Ingoma yemiqanso. Oh Thixo, khumbula uDavida ngezinhlupheko zonke azibhenselayo.
2 Tana oati ki a Ihowa, tana kupu taurangi ki te Mea Nui o Hakopa;
Wafunga isifungo kuThixo wenza isithembiso kuMninimandla kaJakhobe:
3 E kore rawa ahau e tae ki toku whare e noho ai ahau, e eke ranei ki runga ki toku moenga;
“Angizukungena endlini yami loba ngiye embhedeni wami,
4 E kore ahau e tuku i oku kanohi kia moe, i oku kamo kia nenewha;
angiyikuwavumela amehlo ami ubuthongo, akukuba lakuwozela enkopheni zami,
5 Kia kitea ra ano e ahau he wahi mo Ihowa, he nohoanga mo te Mea Nui o Hakopa.
ngize ngifumane indawo kaThixo, indawo yokuhlala uMninimandla kaJakhobe.”
6 Na i rangona e matou ki Eparata, i kitea ki nga mara o te ngahere.
Sakuzwa lokhu e-Efrathi, sakubona emangweni waseJayari:
7 Ka haere matou ki roto ki ona tapenakara; ka koropiko ki tona turanga waewae.
“Kasiye lapho ahlala khona; kasikhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe.
8 E ara, e Ihowa, ki tou okiokinga, a koe, me te aaka o tou kaha.
Phakama, Oh Thixo, ubuye endaweni yakho yokuphumula, wena umtshokotsho wesivumelwano elitshengisa amandla akho.
9 Kia whakakakahuria au tohunga ki te tika; kia hamama tau hunga tapu i te hari.
Sengathi abaphristi bakho bangembeswa ngokulunga; sengathi labathembekileyo bakho bangahlabelela ngentokozo.”
10 Whakaaro ki a Rawiri, ki tau pononga: kaua e whakapeaua atu te mata o tau i whakawahi ai.
Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida, ungamfulatheli ogcotshiweyo wakho.
11 Kua oati pono a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, e kore ia e tahuri ke i tena; Ka whakanohoia e ahau tetahi hua o tou kopu ki tou torona.
UThixo wenza isifungo kuDavida, isifungo esiqinileyo angakusaphula wathi: “Omunye wezizukulwane zakho ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi
12 Ki te puritia e au tama taku kawenata, me taku whakaaturanga e ako ai ahau ki a ratou, ka noho ano a ratou tama ki tou torona ake ake.
aluba amadodana akho egcina isivumelwano sami lezimiso engibafundisa zona, lapho-ke amadodana abo azahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.”
13 Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowa a Hiona; kua hiahiatia e ia hei nohoanga mona.
Ngoba uThixo uyikhethile iZiyoni, uyithandile ukuba yindawo yakhe yokuhlala:
14 Ko toku okiokinga tenei ake ake; ko konei ahau noho ai, kua hiahiatia hoki e ahau.
“Le yindawo yami yokuphumula lanini; lapha ngizahlala ngisebukhosini, ngoba ngiyithandile
15 Ka manaakitia rawatia e ahau tana kai; ka whakamakonatia e ahau ona rawakore ki te taro.
ngizayibusisa ngokudla okunengi; abayanga bayo ngizabasuthisa ngokudla.
16 Ka whakakakahuria hoki e ahau ona tohunga ki te whakaoranga; a ka hamama tona hunga tapu i te hari.
Ngizavunulisa abaphristi bayo ngensindiso, labathembekileyo bakhe bazahlabelela ngentokozo nini lanini.
17 Ka meinga e ahau kia pihi ki reira te haona o Rawiri: kua whakapaia e ahau he rama mo taku i whakawahi ai.
Lapha ngizakhulisa uphondo lukaDavida ngilungisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
18 Ka whakakakahuria e ahau ona hoariri ki te whakama; a ka matomato tona karauna i runga i a ia.
Ngizakwembathisa izitha ngehlazo, kodwa umqhele osekhanda lakhe uzakhazimula.”
