Waiata 26
1 Na Rawiri. Whakawakia ahau, e Ihowa, kua haere nei hoki ahau i te tapatahitanga o toku ngakau: kua whakawhirinaki ano ki a Ihowa, na, e kore e paheke.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova; he naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: naʻaku falala foki kia Sihova; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u hekea.
2 Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowa, whakamatauria ahau, kia kitea oku whatumanawa me toku ngakau.
ʻAhiʻahiʻi au, ʻe Sihova, ʻo ʻiloʻi au; ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto.
3 Kei mua hoki tou atawhai i oku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tou pono.
He ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa pea naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni.
4 Kahore ahau i noho tahi ki nga tangata horihori; e kore ano ahau e tomo tahi me nga tangata tinihanga.
Naʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau tangata angakovi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki loto mo e kau mālualoi.
5 Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o nga kaimahi i te he, e kore ano ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he fakataha ʻoe kau fai kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau angahala.
6 Ka horoia e ahau oku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiawhio ai i tau aata, e Ihowa;
Te u fanofano hoku nima ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻe pehē pe ʻeku kāpui ho ʻesifeilaulau, ʻE Sihova:
7 A ka rangona toku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i au mahi whakamiharo katoa.
Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi, pea fakamatala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.
8 E Ihowa, kua aroha nei ahau ki tou whare nohoanga, ki te wahi e nohoia ana e tou kororia.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻofa ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ho fale, mo e potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa hoʻo ʻafio.
9 Kei huia toku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara, me toku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakataha hoku laumālie mo e kau angahala, pe ko ʻeku moʻui mo e kau tangata pani toto:
10 He mahi nanakia hoki ta o ratou ringa; ki tonu o ratou matau i te utu whakapati.
ʻAkinautolu ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae pauʻu, pea ʻoku fonu honau nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakahē.
11 Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i toku tapatahi: hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.
Ka ko au, te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: ke ke huhuʻi au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au.
12 E tu ana toku waewae i te wahi tika: ka whakapaingia a Ihowa e ahau i roto i nga whakaminenga.
ʻOku tuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu tokamālie: ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kakai te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
