Waiata 15

1 He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, ko wai e noho ki tou tapenakara? Ko wai e noho ki tou maunga tapu?

Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill?

2 Ko ia he tapatahi nei te haere, he tika te mahi, he korero pono ano i roto i tona ngakau.

He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.

3 Kahore nei e ngautuara tona arero, kahore e kino te mahi ki tona hoa, kahore ana ingoa kino mo tona hoa.

He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.

4 E whakahengia ana te tangata kino e ona kanohi, e whakahonoretia ana ia e ia te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowa. Ahakoa mate i tana oati, kahore e whakapaheketia e ia.

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.

5 Kahore e tuku i tana moni hei moni whakatupu; kahore hoki e tango i te moni hei utu mate mo te tangata harakore. Ki te penei te mahi a tetahi, e kore ia e whakakorikoria ake ake.

He that puts not out his money to interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
