Waiata 24

1 He himene na Rawiri. No Ihowa te whenua, me ona tini mea, te ao, me nga tangata e noho ana i runga.

The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.

2 He mea whakatu hoki nana ki runga ki nga moana, he mea whakau ki runga ki nga roma.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3 Ko wai e eke ki te maunga o Ihowa? Ko wai e tu ki tona wahi tapu?

Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Ko te tangata he ma nei nga ringa, he harakore tona ngakau, kahore nei i ara tona wairua ki te horihori, a kahore i oati teka.

He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

5 Ka riro i a ia te manaaki a Ihowa, me te tika a te Atua o tona whakaoranga.

He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Ko te whakatupuranga tenei o te hunga e rapu ana ki a ia, e rapu nei i tou mate, e Hakopa. (Hera)

This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

7 Kia ara o koutou matenga, e nga tatau, ara ake, e nga tatau onamata; a ka tomo te Kingi o te kororia.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

8 Ko wai tenei Kingi kororia? Ko Ihowa, ko te kaha, ko te marohirohi, ko Ihowa, ko te marohirohi ki te whawhai.

Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

9 Kia ara o koutou matenga, e nga tatau, kia ara ake, e nga tatau onamata, a ka tomo te Kingi o te kororia.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

10 Ko wai tenei Kingi kororia? Ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia te Kingi kororia. (Hera)

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. (Selah)
