Waiata 139
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He Himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kua tirotirohia ahau e koe, kua mohiotia ano e koe.
`To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, thou hast preued me, and hast knowe me;
2 E matau ana koe ki toku nohoanga iho, ki toku whakatikanga ake; e mohio ana koe ki oku whakaaro i tawhiti.
thou hast knowe my sitting, and my rising ayen.
3 E kitea putia ana e koe toku ara me toku takotoranga iho; e matatau ana hoki koe ki oku ara katoa.
Thou hast vndirstonde my thouytis fro fer; thou hast enquerid my path and my corde.
4 Kahore rawa hoki he kupu i toku arero, i toe i a koe te mohio, e Ihowa.
And thou hast bifor seien alle my weies; for no word is in my tunge.
5 Kua hanga a muri, a mua, oku e koe: kua pa ano tou ringa ki ahau.
Lo! Lord, thou hast knowe alle thingis, the laste thingis and elde; thou hast formed me, and hast set thin hond on me.
6 He mea whakamiharo rawa, kei tawhiti atu hoki i ahau, tenei matauranga: kei runga noa atu, e kore e taea e ahau.
Thi kunnyng is maad wondirful of me; it is coumfortid, and Y schal not mowe to it.
7 Me haere ahau ki hea i tou wairua? Me oma ranei ahau ki hea i tou aroaro?
Whidir schal Y go fro thi spirit; and whider schal Y fle fro thi face?
8 Ki te kake ahau ki te rangi, kei reira koe: ki te wharikitia e ahau toku moenga i roto i te reinga, kei reira ano koe. (Sheol h7585)
If Y schal stie in to heuene, thou art there; if Y schal go doun to helle, thou art present. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ki te tango ahau ki nga pakau o te ata, a ka noho ki nga topito o te moana;
If Y schal take my fetheris ful eerli; and schal dwelle in the last partis of the see.
10 Kei reira ano tou ringa hei arahi i ahau, tou matau hei pupuru i ahau.
And sotheli thider thin hond schal leede me forth; and thi riyt hond schal holde me.
11 Ki te mea ahau, He pono, tera ahau e hipokina e te pouri, a ko te marama i tetahi taha oku, i tetahi taha, ka meinga he po;
And Y seide, In hap derknessis schulen defoule me; and the nyyt is my liytnyng in my delicis.
12 Ahakoa te pouri kahore e huna mai i a koe, engari ka marama te po ano ko te ao: ki a koe rite tahi te pouri me te marama.
For whi derknessis schulen not be maad derk fro thee, aud the niyt schal be liytned as the dai; as the derknessis therof, so and the liyt therof.
13 I a koe hoki oku whatumanawa: nau hoki ahau i hipoki i roto i te kopu o toku whaea.
For thou haddist in possessioun my reines; thou tokist me vp fro the wombe of my modir.
14 Ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe; he mea whakawehi, he mea whakamiharo toku hanganga; he mahi whakamiharo au mahi, mohio rawa ano toku wairua ki tena.
I schal knouleche to thee, for thou art magnefied dreedfuli; thi werkis ben wondirful, and my soule schal knouleche ful miche.
15 Kihai i huna oku wahi i a koe, i ahau e hanga ngarotia ana, e ata whakairohia ana i nga wahi hohonu rawa o te whenua.
Mi boon, which thou madist in priuete, is not hyd fro thee; and my substaunce in the lower partis of erthe.
16 I kite ou kanohi i ahau, kahore ano kia ahua noa: i tuhituhia katoatia ano hoki oku wahi ki tau pukapuka, i nga rangi i whakaahua ai, i te mea kahore ano tetahi i oti noa.
Thin iyen sien myn vnperfit thing, and alle men schulen be writun in thi book; daies schulen be formed, and no man is in tho.
17 Kia pehea mai hoki te matenui o ou whakaaro ki ahau, e te Atua; koia ano te ranea, ina huihuia!
Forsothe, God, thi frendis ben maad onourable ful myche to me; the princeheed of hem is coumfortid ful myche.
18 Ki te taua e ahau, maha atu i te onepu: ka oho ake ahau, kei a koe tonu ahau.
I schal noumbre hem, and thei schulen be multiplied aboue grauel; Y roos vp, and yit Y am with thee.
19 He pono ka patua e koe, e te Atua, te tangata kino: mawehe koia atu i ahau, e nga tangata toto.
For thou, God, schalt slee synneris; ye menquelleris, bowe awei fro me.
20 He kino hoki a ratou kupu mou: e whakahua noa ana ou hoariri i tou ingoa.
For ye seien in thouyt; Take thei her citees in vanite.
21 Kahore ianei ahau, e Ihowa, e kino ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koe? e whakarihariha hoki ki te hunga e whakatika ana ki a koe?
Lord, whether Y hatide not hem that hatiden thee; and Y failide on thin enemyes?
22 He tino kino taku kino ki a ratou: waiho iho ratou e ahau hei hoariri moku.
Bi perfite haterede Y hatide hem; thei weren maad enemyes to me.
23 Tirohia iho ahau, e te Atua, kia matau hoki koe ki toku ngakau: whakamatautauria ahau, kia matau hoki koe ki oku whakaaro:
God, preue thou me, and knowe thou myn herte; axe thou me, and knowe thou my pathis.
24 Kia kite mehemea kei ahau tetahi ara o te kino, ka arahi ai i ahau i te ara pumau.
And se thou, if weie of wickidnesse is in me; and lede thou me forth in euerlastinge wei.
