Waiata 15

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

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova, ko hai te ne nofo ʻi ho fale fehikitaki? Ko hai te ne nofomaʻu ʻi ho moʻunga māʻoniʻoni?

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

Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu, pea ngāue ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, mo lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻi hono loto.

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

Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai lauʻikovi ʻaki hono ʻelelo, pe fai kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi, pe toʻo hake ʻae lea kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi.

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.

‌ʻAia ʻoku kovi ki hono mata ʻae tangata fai kovi; ka ʻoku ne fakaʻapaʻapa kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova. ʻOku ne fuakava, pea kovi ai ia, ka ʻe ʻikai liliu ai.

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.

Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻange ʻene ngaahi paʻanga koeʻuhi ko e totongi, pe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae totongi ke fai kovi ki he māʻoniʻoni. Ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe ʻikai ueʻi ia ʻo taʻengata.
