Waiata 32
1 Na Rawiri: he Makiri. Ka hari te tangata kua oti tana he te muru, tona hara te hipoki.
Of David. Maschil. Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.
2 Ka hari te tangata kahore nei e whakairia e Ihowa he hara ki a ia, a kahore he hianga i tona wairua.
Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 I ahau kihai i kuihi, ngahengahe kau oku iwi i taku auetanga i te ra roa.
When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.
4 No tou ringa i taimaha ki ahau i te ao, i te po; kua whakaputaina ketia toku makukuranga, ano na te maroketanga o te raumati. (Hera)
For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah)
5 I whakina e ahau toku hara ki a koe, kihai hoki i huna i toku kino: i mea ahau, Ka whakina aku mahi tutu ki a Ihowa; a murua ana e koe te kino o toku hara. (Hera)
I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah)
6 Mo konei ka inoi ki a koe nga tangata tapu katoa i te wa e kitea ai koe: he pono ka ngawha nga wai nui, e kore e tata ki a ia.
For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.
7 Ko koe toku piringa; mau ahau e whakaora i te pouri, mau ahau e karapoti ki nga waiata whakaora. (Hera)
You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah)
8 Ka tohutohungia koe e ahau, ka whakaakona koe ki te ara e haere ai koe; ma toku kanohi koe e arahi.
I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.
9 Kei rite koutou ki te hoiho, ki te muera ranei, kahore nei he matauranga; he mea kuku nei o raua kauae ki te paraire, ki te moka hei pupuri mai; ki te kore hoki, e kore e tata ki a koe.
Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...
10 He tini nga mea whakapouri mo te tangata hara: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa, ka karapotia e te atawhai.
The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.
11 Kia koa ki a Ihowa, whakamanamana, e te hunga tika: kia hari, hamama, e te hunga ngakau tika katoa.
Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.
