Waiata 28
1 Na Rawiri. Ka karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, e toku kohatu, kaua e wahangu ki ahau; ki te wahangu hoki koe ki ahau, ka rite ahau ki te hunga e heke atu ana ki te poka.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Te u tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ko hoku makatuʻu; ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi au: telia, ʻi hoʻo taʻeʻafioʻi au, te u hoko ʻo tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
2 Whakarongo ki toku reo inoi, ua karanga ahau ki a koe, ina totoro oku ringa ki tou ahurewa tapu.
Ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu, ʻo kau ka tangi kiate koe, ʻo kau ka hiki hake hoku nima ki ho folofolaʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
3 Kaua ahau e kumea tahitia me te hunga he; me nga kaimahi i te kino, he marie a ratou kupu ki o ratou hoa, he kino ia kei roto i o ratou ngakau.
ʻOua naʻa ke toho au mo e kau angahala, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea mālie ki honau kaungāʻapi, ka ʻoku ʻi honau loto ʻae kovi.
4 Kia rite ki a ratou mahi tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, ki te kino ano o a ratou hanga: kia rite ki nga mahi a o ratou ringa tau e hoatu ai ki a ratou, whakahokia ta ratou utu ki a ratou.
Te ke tuku kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngāue, ʻo fakatatau ki he kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga: ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻa honau nima; ʻange kiate kinautolu honau ʻinanga.
5 Na kahore nei ratou e whakaaro ki nga mahi a Ihowa, ki nga meatanga a ona ringa, mo reira ka whakahoroa iho ratou e ia, e kore ano e whakaturia ake.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova, mo e ngāue ʻa hono nima, te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai langa hake ʻakinautolu.
6 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa mona i whakarongo mai ki toku reo inoi.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
7 Ko Ihowa toku kaha, toku whakangungu rakau; i whakawhirinaki toku ngakau ki a ia, a awhinatia ana ahau; koia i hari ai toku ngakau, i whakamoemiti ai hoki taku waiata ki a ia.
Ko hoku mālohi mo hoku fakaū ʻa Sihova; naʻe falala kiate ia hoku loto, pea kuo tokoniʻi au: ko ia ʻoku fiefia lahi ai hoku loto; pea ʻi heʻeku hiva te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia.
8 Ko Ihowa to ratou kaha, ko ia ano te kaha whakaora o tana tangata i whakawahi ai.
Ko e mālohi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu, pea ko e mālohi fakamoʻui ia ʻo ʻene pani.
9 Whakaorangia tau iwi, manaakitia tou kainga tupu: whangainga ratou, whakaarahia ake ake.
Ke ke fakamoʻui hoʻo kakai, mo tāpuaki ho tofiʻa: tauhi ʻakinautolu foki, pea hiki hake ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata.
