Waiata 32
1 Na Rawiri: he Makiri. Ka hari te tangata kua oti tana he te muru, tona hara te hipoki.
A Psalm of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.
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 unto whom the LORD counteth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 I ahau kihai i kuihi, ngahengahe kau oku iwi i taku auetanga i te ra roa.
When I kept silence, my bones wore away through my groaning all the day long.
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 day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my sap was turned as in the droughts of 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 acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto the LORD' — and Thou, Thou forgavest the iniquity of 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 let every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; surely, when the great waters overflow, they will not reach unto him.
7 Ko koe toku piringa; mau ahau e whakaora i te pouri, mau ahau e karapoti ki nga waiata whakaora. (Hera)
Thou art my hiding-place; Thou wilt preserve me from the adversary; with songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. (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 instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will give counsel, Mine eye being upon thee.'
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.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, that they come not near unto thee.
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.
Many are the sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy compasseth him about.
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, and rejoice, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
