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?

TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DOE OF THE MORNING.” A PSALM OF DAVID. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Far from My salvation, The words of My roaring?

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 call by day, and You do not answer, And by night, and am not silent.

3 Otiia he tapu koe, kei nga whakamoemiti a Iharaira tou nohoanga.

And You [are] holy, Sitting—the Praise of Israel.

4 I whakawhirinaki o matou matua ki a koe, i whakawhirinaki, a whakaorangia ana e koe.

In You our fathers trusted; They trusted, and You deliver them.

5 I karanga ratou ki a koe, a kua ora; i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, a kihai i whakama.

To You they cried, and were delivered, In You they trusted, and were not disappointed.

6 Ko ahau ia he toke, ehara i te tangata: e tawaia ana e te tangata, e whakahaweatia ana e te iwi.

And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised 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 beholding Me mock at Me, They make free with the lip—shake 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.

“Roll to YHWH, He delivers Him, He delivers Him, for He delighted in 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] He bringing Me forth from the womb, Causing Me to trust, On 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.

On You I have been cast from the womb, From the belly 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 be far from Me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

12 He tini nga puru e karapoti nei i ahau: e whakapaea ana ahau e nga mea kaha o Pahana.

Many bulls have surrounded Me, Mighty ones of Bashan have surrounded Me,

13 E hamama ana o ratou mangai ki ahau, ano he raiona e haehae ana, e hamama ana.

They have opened their mouth against Me, A lion tearing 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.

I have been poured out as waters, And all my bones have separated themselves, My heart has been like wax, It is melted in the midst of My bowels.

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 power is dried up as an earthen vessel, And My tongue is cleaving to My jaws.

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.

And You appoint Me to the dust of death, For dogs have surrounded Me, A company of evildoers has surrounded Me, Piercing My hands and My feet.

17 E taea e ahau te tatau oku iwi katoa: e titiro mai ana ratou, e matakitaki ana ki ahau.

I count all My bones—they look expectingly, They look on Me,

18 E wehewehea ana oku kakahu mo ratou, e maka rota ana mo toku weruweru.

They apportion My garments to themselves, And they cause a lot to fall for My clothing.

19 Kaua ra ia koe e matara atu, e Ihowa; e toku kaha, hohoro mai hei awhina moku.

And You, O YHWH, do not be far off, O My strength, hurry to help Me.

20 Whakaorangia toku wairua i te hoari, taku hoki e matenui nei i te kuri.

Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the paw of a 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 a lion And You have answered Me from the horns of the high places!

22 Ka korerotia e ahau tou ingoa ki oku teina, ka whakamoemititia koe e ahau i waenganui i te whakaminenga.

I declare Your Name to My brothers, In the midst of the assembly I 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 YHWH, praise Him, All the seed of Jacob, honor Him, And be afraid of Him, all you seed of Israel.

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.

For He has not despised, nor detested, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor has He hidden His face from Him, And in His crying to Him He hears.

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.

Of You My praise [is] in the great assembly. I complete My vows before His fearers.

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 humble eat and are satisfied, Those seeking Him praise YHWH, Your heart lives forever.

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.

Remember and return to YHWH, Do all the ends of the earth, And bow themselves before You, Do all families of the nations,

28 No Ihowa hokite rangatiratanga, ko ia ano te kawana i waenganui o nga iwi.

For to YHWH [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.

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.

And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, All going down to dust bow before Him, And he [who] has not revived his soul.

30 Tera e mahi tetahi uri ki a ia; ka waiho ki te Ariki hei whakatupuranga.

A seed serves Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.

31 E haere mai ratou, e kauwhau i tona tika ki te iwi e whanau a mua, he meatanga tenei nana.

They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is born, that He has made!
