Waiata 31
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, ko koe taku e whakawhirinaki nei; kei whakama ahau ake ake: whakaorangia ahau, he tika nei hoki koe.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻOku ou falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā: fakamoʻui au ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
2 Anga mai tou taringa ki ahau; hohoro te whakaora i ahau: kia ai koe hei kohatu kaha moku, hei whare tiaki moku.
Fakatokangaʻi ho telinga kiate au; ke vave hoʻo fakamoʻui au: ke ke ʻiate au ko e maka mālohi, ko e fale hūfanga ke fakamoʻui au.
3 Ko koe hoki toku kohatu, toku pa: na kia mahara ki tou ingoa, a arahina ahau, tohutohungia hoki ahau.
He ko koe ko hoku makatuʻu mo ʻeku kolo: ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa ke ke tataki au, ʻo fakahinohino au.
4 Kapohia ahau i roto i te kupenga i huna e ratou moku; ko koe hoki toku kaha.
Toho au mei he kupenga kuo nau ʻaʻau fakafufū kiate au: he ko koe ko hoku mālohi.
5 Tenei toku wairua te tukua atu nei e ahau ki tou ringa; nau ahau i hoki e Ihowa, e te Atua o te pono.
ʻOku ou tuku atu hoku laumālie ki ho nima: kuo ke huhuʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni.
6 E kino ana ahau ki te hunga e whakaaro ana ki nga mea tekateka noa; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a Ihowa.
Naʻaku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga loi pē: ka ʻoku ou falala kia Sihova.
7 Ka whakamanamana ahau, ka hari ki tou atawhai; mou i titiro ki taku tangi; i matau hoki ki toku wairua i nga wa o te he;
Te u fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: he kuo ke tokanga ki heʻeku mamahi; kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku laumālie ʻi he ngaahi mamahi;
8 Kahore ahau i kopia e koe ki roto ki te ringa o te hoariri: kua whakaturia e koe oku waewae ki te wahi nui.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuni au ʻi he nima ʻoe fili: kuo ke fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu ʻataʻatā lahi.
9 Tohungia ahau, e Ihowa, kei te he hoki ahau, pakoko kau toku mata i te pouri, toku wairua me toku kopu.
ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku ou moʻua ʻi he mamahi: kuo ʻauha hoku mata ʻi he tangi, ʻio, ko hoku laumālie mo hoku kete.
10 Ka hemo nei hoki toku ora i te tangi, me oku tau i te aue; poto iho toku kaha i toku he, kurupopo ana oku iwi.
He kuo ʻosi ʻeku moʻui ʻi he tangi, mo hoku ngaahi taʻu ʻi he mafulu: kuo fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi hoku mālohi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku hia, pea kuo ʻauha hoku ngaahi hui.
11 He tawainga ahau na oku hoariri katoa; ko te tino mahi ia tena a oku hoa noho tata, he mea wehi ahau na nga tangata i mohio ki ahau: ko te hunga i kite i ahau i waho, rere ana i ahau.
Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻo hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē, kae ʻāsili pe ki hoku ngaahi kaungāʻapi, pea ko e ilifiaʻanga ʻo hoku kaumeʻa: ko kinautolu naʻe mamata kiate au ʻi tuaʻā naʻa nau hola ʻiate au.
12 Kua warewaretia ahau me te tupapaku kua ngaro atu i te ngakau; kua rite ki te oko pakaru.
Kuo fakangalongaloʻi au mei he loto ʻo hangē ko e tangata kuo mate: kuo u tatau mo e ipu kuo maumau.
13 I rongo hoki ahau i te ngautuara a te tini; i karapotia ahau e te wehi: i a ratou e runanga ana ki te he moku, i mea kia whakamatea ahau.
He naʻaku fanongo ki he lauʻikovi ʻe he tokolahi: naʻe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē: lolotonga ʻenau fakakaukau fakataha kiate au, naʻa nau loto ke toʻo ʻeku moʻui.
14 Ko ahau ia i whakawhirinaki ki a koe, e Ihowa: i mea, Ko koe toku Atua.
Ka naʻaku falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova: naʻaku pehē, Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua.
15 Kei tou ringa oku taima, whakaorangia ahau i nga ringa o oku hoariri, i te hunga e tukino ana i ahau.
Ko hoku ngaahi kuonga ʻoku ʻi ho nima: ke ke fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au.
16 Kia whiti tou mata ki tau pononga; whakaorangia ahau, he mahi tohu hoki tau.
Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
17 Kei whakama ahau, e Ihowa; kua karanga hoki ahau ki a koe: kia whakama te hunga kino, kia takoto puku i te reinga. (Sheol h7585)
ʻOua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā, ʻe Sihova; he naʻaku ui kiate koe: tuku ke mā ʻae kau angahala, tuku ke nau longo pē ʻi he faʻitoka. (Sheol h7585)
18 Whakamutua te korero a nga ngutu teka, he kino nei a ratou korero mo te tangata tika, na to ratou whakapehapeha hoki, na to ratou whakahihi.
Tuku ke fakalongo pē ʻae ngaahi loungutu loi; ʻaia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakamamahi ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fielahi mo e manuki.
19 Ano te nui o tau pai kua rongoatia nei e koe mo te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe; i mahia nei e koe mo te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a koe i te aroaro o nga tama a te tangata!
ʻOku fēfē hono lahi ʻo hoʻo angalelei, ʻaia kuo ke hilifaki maʻanautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe; ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻoku falala kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata!
20 Ka huna ratou e koe ki te wahi ngaro i tou aroaro i nga rauhanga a te tangata; ka huna ratou e koe ki roto ki te teneti, kei taea e te ngangau a nga arero.
Te ke fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lilo ʻo ho fofonga mei he fielahi ʻae tangata: te ke tauhi fakafufū pe ʻakinautolu ʻi ha ʻafioʻanga mei he fakakikihi ʻoe ngaahi ʻelelo.
21 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, mona i mea kia miharotia tana mahi tohu ki ahau i te pa kaha.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahā kiate au ʻene angalelei fakaofo ʻi he kolo mālohi.
22 I ki hoki ahau i toku potatutatunga, Kua motuhia mai ahau i mua i ou kanohi: ahakoa ra i rongo koe ki toku reo inoi i taku karangatanga ki a koe.
He naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “kuo motuhi au mei he ʻao ʻo ho fofonga:” ka naʻa ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu ʻi heʻeku tangi kiate koe.
23 Arohaina a Ihowa, e tana hunga tapu katoa: e tiakina ana e Ihowa te hunga pono, a he nui tana utu ki te kaimahi whakapehapeha.
Mou ʻofa kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē: he ʻoku tauhi ʻe Sihova ʻae kau angatonu, pea ʻoku ne totongi lahi ki he kau fai fakafielahi.
24 Kia maia, kia kaha o koutou ngakau, e te hunga katoa e tumanako ana ki a Ihowa.
Ke mou lototoʻa, pea te ne fakamālohi homou loto, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei kia Sihova.
