Waiata 133

1 He waiata; he pikitanga. Na Rawiri. Na, ano te pai, ano te ahuareka o te nohoanga o nga teina, o nga tuakana i runga i te whakaaro kotahi!

A Canticle in steps: of David. Behold, how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to dwell in unity.

2 Tona rite kei te hinu utu nui i runga i te upoko, i heke iho nei ki te pahau, ae ki te pahau o Arona; i heke iho nei ki te remu o ona kakahu:

It is like the ointment on the head that descended to the beard, the beard of Aaron, which descended to the hem of his garment.

3 Kei te tomairangi ano o Heremona, kei tera i heke iho ki nga maunga o Hiona: i whakahaua iho hoki e Ihowa te manaaki mo reira, te ora mo ake tonu atu.

It is like the dew of Hermon, which descended from mount Zion. For in that place, the Lord has commanded a blessing, and life, even unto eternity.
