Waiata 16
1 He Mikitama na Rawiri. Tiakina ahau, e te Atua: e whakawhirinaki nei hoki ahau ki a koe.
Ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita. ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.
2 Kua mea ahau ki a Ihowa, Ko koe toku Ariki, kahore oku pai i tua atu i a koe.
ʻE hoku laumālie, naʻa ke pehē kia Sihova, “Ko hoku ʻEiki koe: ʻoku ʻikai aʻu atu ʻeku angalelei kiate koe;”
3 Ko te hunga tapu i runga i te whenua, te hunga pai rawa, kua ahau katoa toku ahuareka ki a ratou.
Ka ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi māmani, pea ki he angalelei, ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻeku fiefia kotoa pē.
4 Ka whakanuia nga mamae o te hunga e whakawhiti ana i a Ihowa mo tetahi atua ke: e kore e ringihia e ahau a ratou ringihanga toto, e kore ano o ratou ingoa e whakahuatia e oku ngutu.
ʻE ʻāsili ai ʻae mamahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻotua kehe: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu ʻoe toto ʻe ʻikai te u ʻatu, pe toʻo hake honau ngaahi hingoa ki hoku loungutu.
5 Ko Ihowa te wahi i wehea mai moku, taku kapu hoki: ko koe te kaiwhakapumau i te wahanga maku.
Ko hono lelei ʻo hoku tofiʻa mo ʻeku ipu ʻa Sihova: ʻoku ke tauhi hoku talotalo.
6 Kua takoto oku aho ki nga wahi ahuareka, ina, he wahi pai toku.
Kuo falō kiate au ʻae ngaahi afo ʻi he ngaahi potu matamatalelei; ʻio, kuo u maʻu ʻae tofiʻa lelei.
7 Ka whakapaingia e ahau a Ihowa, i whakamahara nei i ahau: ka whakaako ano hoki oku whatumanawa i ahau i te po.
Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne akonakiʻi au: ko hoku kofuua foki ʻoku na akonakiʻi au ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu pō.
8 Kua waiho tonu e ahau a Ihowa ki toku aroaro: kei toku ringa matau nei ia, e kore ahau e whakakorikoria.
Kuo u fokotuʻu maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ʻe ʻikai ai te u ngaue.
9 Koia i koa ai toku ngakau, i whakamanamana ai toku kororia, i takoto tumanako ai ano oku kikokiko.
Ko ia ʻoku fiefia ai hoku loto, pea nekeneka mo hoku ʻelelo: ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei.
10 No te mea e kore e waiho e koe toku wairua i te reinga, e kore e tukua tau Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau. (Sheol h7585)
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ka whakakitea mai e koe ki ahau te huarahi o te ora; kei tou aroaro te hari nui, kei tou matau nga ahuareka e kore e mutu.
Te ke fakahā kiate au ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui: ʻoku fonu ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao; ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi fiemālie ʻo taʻengata.
