Waiata 22
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Airete Hahara. He himene na Rawiri. E toku Atua, e toku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau? he aha koe i matara atu ai ki te whakaora i ahau i nga kupu hoki o taku hamama?
Unto the end. For the tasks of early morning. A Psalm of David. O God, my God, look upon me. Why have you forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my offenses.
2 E toku Atua, e karanga nei ahau i te awatea, heoi kahore koe e rongo, i te po ano kahore ahau e wahangu.
My God, I will cry out by day, and you will not heed, and by night, and it will not be foolishness for me.
3 Otiia he tapu koe, kei nga whakamoemiti a Iharaira tou nohoanga.
But you dwell in holiness, O Praise of Israel.
4 I whakawhirinaki o matou matua ki a koe, i whakawhirinaki, a whakaorangia ana e koe.
In you, our fathers have hoped. They hoped, and you freed them.
5 I karanga ratou ki a koe, a kua ora; i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, a kihai i whakama.
They cried out to you, and they were saved. In you, they hoped and were not confounded.
6 Ko ahau ia he toke, ehara i te tangata: e tawaia ana e te tangata, e whakahaweatia ana e te iwi.
But I am a worm and not a man: a disgrace among men, and an outcast of the people.
7 Kataina iho ahau e te hunga katoa e kite ana i ahau, ko ana o ratou ngutu, ruru ana o ratou matenga, e ki mai ana,
All those who saw me have derided me. They have spoken with the lips and shook the head.
8 Tukua atu koe ki a Ihowa, mana ia e whakaora: mana ia e whakaora, e pai ana hoki ia ki a ia.
He has hoped in the Lord, let him rescue him. Let him save him because he chooses him.
9 Nau ia ahau i whakawhanau mai i roto i te kopu, i mea hoki kia tumanako, i ahau i nga u o toku whaea.
For you are the one who has drawn me out of the womb, my hope from the breasts of my mother.
10 He mea whakarere atu ahau ki runga ki a koe no te kopu mai; ko koe toku Atua no te kopu mai ano o toku whaea.
I have been thrown upon you from the womb; from the womb of my mother, you are my God.
11 Kei mamao atu i ahau, e tata ana hoki te he, kahore hoki he kaiawhina.
Do not depart from me. For tribulation is near, since there is no one who may help me.
12 He tini nga puru e karapoti nei i ahau: e whakapaea ana ahau e nga mea kaha o Pahana.
Many calves have surrounded me; fat bulls have besieged me.
13 E hamama ana o ratou mangai ki ahau, ano he raiona e haehae ana, e hamama ana.
They have opened their mouths over me, just like a lion seizing and roaring.
14 Kua ringihia ahau, ano he wai, kua takoki katoa oku iwi; me te ware pi toku ngakau, e rewa ana i waenganui i oku whekau.
And so, I have been poured out like water, and all my bones have been scattered. My heart has become like wax, melting in the midst of my chest.
15 Kua maroke toku kaha, ano he maramara rihi, piri tonu toku arero ki oku kauae; kua whakatakotoria ano ahau e koe ki te puehu o te mate.
My strength has dried up like clay, and my tongue has adhered to my jaws. And you have pulled me down, into the dust of death.
16 Kua karapotia nei hoki ahau e te kirehe, kua muia e te whakaminenga o nga tangata hara: kua pokaia e ratou oku ringa me oku waewae.
For many dogs have surrounded me. The council of the malicious has besieged me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 E taea e ahau te tatau oku iwi katoa: e titiro mai ana ratou, e matakitaki ana ki ahau.
They have numbered all my bones. And they have examined me and stared at me.
18 E wehewehea ana oku kakahu mo ratou, e maka rota ana mo toku weruweru.
They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment, they cast lots.
19 Kaua ra ia koe e matara atu, e Ihowa; e toku kaha, hohoro mai hei awhina moku.
But you, O Lord, do not take your help far from me; be attentive to my defense.
20 Whakaorangia toku wairua i te hoari, taku hoki e matenui nei i te kuri.
O God, rescue my soul from the spear, and my only one from the hand of the dog.
21 Whakaorangia ahau i te mangai o te raiona: ae, i nga haona o nga kau maka kua whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau.
Save me from the mouth of the lion, and my humility from the horns of the single-horned beast.
22 Ka korerotia e ahau tou ingoa ki oku teina, ka whakamoemititia koe e ahau i waenganui i te whakaminenga.
I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.
23 E te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowa, whakamoemiti ki a ia; whakakororiatia ia, e te uri katoa o Hakopa, kia wehi hoki ki a ia, e te uri katoa o Iharaira.
You who fear the Lord, praise him. All the offspring of Jacob, glorify him.
24 Kihai hoki ia i whakahawea, kihai i whakarihariha ki te aue o te ngakau mamae; kihai ano i huna i tona mata ki a ia, engari i tana karangatanga ki a ia i whakarongo ia.
May all the offspring of Israel fear him. For he has neither spurned nor despised the pleas of the poor. Neither has he turned his face away from me. And when I cried out to him, he heeded me.
25 Ko koe taku e whakamoemiti ai i waenganui o te whakaminenga nui, ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi ki te aroaro o te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia.
My praise is with you, within a great church. I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him.
26 Ka kai te hunga mahaki, a ka makona: ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa te hunga e rapu ana ki a ia; kia ora tonu o koutou ngakau, ake, ake.
The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who yearn for the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will live forever and ever.
27 E mahara nga pito katoa o te whenua, a ka tahuri ki a Ihowa: ka koropiko ano nga hapu katoa o nga iwi ki tou aroaro.
All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight.
28 No Ihowa hokite rangatiratanga, ko ia ano te kawana i waenganui o nga iwi.
For the kingdom belongs to the Lord, and he will have dominion over the Gentiles.
29 Ka kai, a ka koropiko nga tangata tetere katoa o te whenua: ka tuohu ki tona aroaro te hunga katoa e heke ana ki te puehu; tae no ki te tangata kahore e ora i a ia tona wairua.
All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground.
30 Tera e mahi tetahi uri ki a ia; ka waiho ki te Ariki hei whakatupuranga.
And my soul will live for him, and my offspring will serve him.
31 E haere mai ratou, e kauwhau i tona tika ki te iwi e whanau a mua, he meatanga tenei nana.
There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.
