< Waiata 16 >
1 He Mikitama na Rawiri. Tiakina ahau, e te Atua: e whakawhirinaki nei hoki ahau ki a koe.
Dawid mpaebɔ. Bɔ me ho ban, me Nyankopɔn, na wo mu na minya guankɔbea.
2 Kua mea ahau ki a Ihowa, Ko koe toku Ariki, kahore oku pai i tua atu i a koe.
Meka kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “MʼAwurade ne wo; minni ade pa biara ka wo ho.”
3 Ko te hunga tapu i runga i te whenua, te hunga pai rawa, kua ahau katoa toku ahuareka ki a ratou.
Ahotefo a wɔwɔ asase no so de, wɔne anuonyamfo a mʼanigye wɔ wɔn mu.
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.
Wɔn a wodi anyame afoforo akyi no, wɔn awerɛhow bɛdɔɔso. Merengu mogya nsa mma saa anyame no na meremfa mʼano mmɔ wɔn din.
5 Ko Ihowa te wahi i wehea mai moku, taku kapu hoki: ko koe te kaiwhakapumau i te wahanga maku.
Awurade, wode me kyɛfa ne me kuruwa ama me; woama me kyɛfa anya bammɔ.
6 Kua takoto oku aho ki nga wahi ahuareka, ina, he wahi pai toku.
Mʼahye akɔdeda mmeae a eye ama me; ampa ara mewɔ agyapade a ho yɛ anigye.
7 Ka whakapaingia e ahau a Ihowa, i whakamahara nei i ahau: ka whakaako ano hoki oku whatumanawa i ahau i te po.
Mɛkamfo Awurade a otu me fo; na anadwo mpo, me koma kyerɛkyerɛ me.
8 Kua waiho tonu e ahau a Ihowa ki toku aroaro: kei toku ringa matau nei ia, e kore ahau e whakakorikoria.
Mihu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa nti, merenhinhim da.
9 Koia i koa ai toku ngakau, i whakamanamana ai toku kororia, i takoto tumanako ai ano oku kikokiko.
Ɛno nti, me kra ani gye, na mede me tɛkrɛma di ahurusi; me nipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoe mu,
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 )
efisɛ, worennyaw me awufo mu. Na woremma wo Kronkronni no mporɔw. (Sheol )
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.
Woakyerɛ me nkwagye kwan, na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim, na anigye a ɛrensa da wɔ wo nifa so.
