Waiata 32
1 Na Rawiri: he Makiri. Ka hari te tangata kua oti tana he te muru, tona hara te hipoki.
David’s An Instructive Psalm. How 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.
How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit 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 became worn out, Through my groaning all 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, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand, —Changed was my life-sap into the drought 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)
My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive 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 cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, —Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.
7 Ko koe toku piringa; mau ahau e whakaora i te pouri, mau ahau e karapoti ki nga waiata whakaora. (Hera)
Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, —With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou 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 make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.
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 ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, —With the bit and bridle of his mouth, [hast thou] to restrain him, —He will not come 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 pains, hath the lawless one, —But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.
11 Kia koa ki a Ihowa, whakamanamana, e te hunga tika: kia hari, hamama, e te hunga ngakau tika katoa.
Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!
