Waiata 20

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Ma Ihowa e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe i te ra o te he; ma te ingoa o te Atua o Hakopa koe e tiaki;

INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

2 Mana e tono mai he awhina mou i te wahi tapu, e whakau hoki koe i Hiona;

Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

3 Mana e mahara ki au whakahere katoa, e manako ki au tahunga tinana. (Hera)

Kayikhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho, njalo yemukele umnikelo wakho wokutshiswa. (Sela)

4 Mana e homai ki a koe ta tou ngakau e mea ai, e whakamana katoa hoki tau e wawata ai.

Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

5 Ka hari matou ki tau whakaoranga, ka whakatu hoki i o matou kara i runga i te ingoa o to matou Atua: ma Ihowa e whakarite au inoi katoa.

Simemeze ngentokozo esindisweni lwakho, lebizweni likaNkulunkulu wethu siphakamise iziboniso! INkosi igcwalise konke ukucela kwakho.

6 Katahi ahau ka matau e whakaora ana a Ihowa i tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a ia i tona rangi tapu, me te kaha ano tona ringa matau ki te whakaora.

Sengisazi ukuthi iNkosi isindisa ogcotshiweyo wayo; izamphendula isemazulwini ayo angcwele ngamandla asindisayo esandla sayo sokunene.

7 Ko ta etahi he hariata, ko ta etahi he hoiho: ko tatou ia ka whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.

Abanye bathembela enqoleni, labanye emabhizeni, kodwa thina sizakhumbula ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.

8 Kua piko ratou, kua hinga: ko tatou ia kua ara, kua tu ki runga.

Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

9 Whakaorangia, e Ihowa: kia whakahoki kupu mai te Kingi ina karanga matou.

Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.
