Waiata 138

1 Na Rawiri. Ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i te aroaro o nga atua.

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua te u hiva fakamālō kiate koe.

2 Ka koropiko atu ahau ki te ritenga o tou temepara tapu, a ka whakamoemiti ki tou ingoa, mo tou aroha me tou pono: kua whakanuia hoki e koe tau kupu ki runga ake i tou ingoa katoa.

Te u lotu ʻo hanga atu ki ho faletapu māʻoniʻoni, mo fakamālō ki ho huafa koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni: he kuo ke hiki ke māʻolunga hake hoʻo folofola ʻi ho huafa kotoa pē.

3 I whakahoki kupu mai koe ki ahau i te ra i karanga ai ahau: a whakahirihiritia ana e koe toku wairua ki te kaha.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ne u tangi ai naʻa ke talia au, mo fakamālohi ʻaki au ʻae mālohi ʻi hoku laumālie.

4 Ka whakamoemiti nga kingi katoa o te whenua ki a koe, e Ihowa, kua rongo hoki ratou ki nga kupu a tou mangai.

‌ʻE Sihova, ʻe fakamālō kiate koe ʻae ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻoka nau ka fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻo ho fofonga.

5 Ae, e waiata ratou mo nga ara o Ihowa: he nui hoki te kororia o Ihowa.

‌ʻIo, tenau hiva ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova: he ʻoku lahi ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.

6 Ahakoa hoki kei runga rawa a Ihowa, e titiro iho ana ano ia ki te hunga papaku: tena ko te tangata whakakake, i tawhiti ano kua matauria e ia.

Ko e moʻoni ʻoku māʻolunga ʻa Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻofa ia ki he angavaivai: ka ʻoku ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae laukau ki he mamaʻo.

7 Ahakoa haere ahau i waenganui o te he, mau ahau e whakahauora: ka totoro tou ringa ki te riri o oku hoa whawhai, ma tou ringa matau ano ahau e whakaora.

Neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe mamahi, te ke fakaakeake au: te ke mafao atu ho nima ke taʻofi ki he ʻita ʻa hoku ngaahi fili, pea ko ho nima toʻomataʻu te ne fakamoʻui au.

8 Ma Ihowa e whakaoti aku mea: e Ihowa, e mau ana tau mahi tohu ake ake; kaua e whakarerea nga mahi a ou ringa.

‌ʻE fakahaohaoa ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku kau kiate au: ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata: ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima ʻoʻou.
