Waiata 40
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. I tatari marie ahau ki a Ihowa: a anga ana ia ki ahau, whakarongo ana ki taku karanga.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Mele mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa le dzigbɔɖi blibo me; etrɔ ɖe ŋutinye, eye wòse nye ɣlidodo.
2 Na kei te tango ake ia i ahau i te poka whakamataku, i te paru taoruoru; kei te whakatu i oku waewae ki runga ki te kohatu, kei te whakau i oku hikoinga.
Ehem do goe tso ʋe dziŋɔ me, eye wòɖem tso ba finyafinya me, hetsɔ nye afɔ ɖo agakpe dzi, eye wòna meli ke ɖe afi si metɔ ɖo.
3 A homai ana e ia he waiata hou ki toku mangai, he whakamoemiti ki to tatou Atua: he tokomaha e kite, a ka wehi ka whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa.
Etsɔ ha yeye de nunye si nye kafukafuha na míaƒe Mawu la. Ame geɖewo akpɔe, woavɔ̃e, eye woaɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
4 Ka hari te tangata kua waiho nei e ia a Ihowa hei whakawhirinakitanga mona: a kahore e tahuri ki te hunga whakakake, ki te hunga hoki e peka ana ki te teka.
Woayra ame si ɖoa dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, ame si mekpɔa dadalawo ƒe asinu, alo kplɔa ame siwo dze alakpalegbawo yome o.
5 E Ihowa, e toku Atua, he tini au mahi whakamiharo i mahia e koe, me ou whakaaro ki a matou; e kore e taea te korero whakatepe atu ki a koe: me i mea ahau kia whakakitea, kia korerotia, e kore e taea te tatau.
O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, wò nukunu siwo nèwɔ la sɔ gbɔ loo! Ɖoɖo geɖe siwo nèwɔ ɖe mía ŋu la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo afia wò o. Ne ɖe wòanye be maƒo nu le wo ŋu, eye maxlẽ wo afia la, nyemate ŋui o, elabena wosɔ gbɔ akpa.
6 Kihai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu, me te whakahere; pokaia ana e koe oku taringa: kihai koe i mea mai ki te tahunga tinana, ki te whakahere hara.
Mèdi vɔsa kple nunana, alo bia numevɔsa kple akpedavɔsa o, ke boŋ èʋu nye towo be mase wò gbe,
7 Na ko taku meatanga atu, Na kua tae mai ahau: kei roto i te pukapuka te tuhituhi moku.
eya ta meɖo ŋu be, “Nyee nye si meva; agbalẽ mee woŋlɔe ɖo tso ŋutinye.
8 Ko taku pai ko te mea i tau e pai ai, e toku Atua: ae ra, kei toku ngakau tau ture.
Medi be mawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu, O! Nye Mawu, woŋlɔ wò se la ɖe nye dzi me.”
9 Kua kauwhautia e ahau te tika i roto i te whakaminenga nui: nana, kihai i kopia oku ngutu, tena koe te matau ana, e Ihowa.
O! Yehowa, meɖe gbeƒã wò dzɔdzɔenyenye le ameha gã la dome, eye abe ale si nènya ene la, nyememia nye nu o.
10 Kihai i huna e ahau tou tika i roto i toku ngakau; kua korerotia e ahau tou pono me tau whakaoranga: kihai i hunga e ahau tou aroha me tou pono i te whakaminenga nui.
Nyemeɣla wò dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖe nye dzi me o, ke boŋ meƒo nu le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ kple ɖeɖe ŋuti. Nyemeɣla wò lɔlɔ̃ kple wò nyateƒe la ɖe ameha gã la o.
11 Kei kaiponuhia tou aroha ki ahau, e Ihowa: ma tou atawhai me tou pono ahau e tiaki i nga wa katoa.
O! Yehowa, mègate wo nublanuikpɔkpɔ o, ke boŋ na be wò lɔlɔ̃ kple wò nyateƒe nakpɔ tanye ɖaa,
12 Ta te mea kua karapotia ahau e nga kino e kore e taea te tatau: mau pu ahau i oku kino, te ahei te titiro ake; he tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga: a hemo iho toku ngakau.
elabena fukpekpe siwo mele xexlẽ o la ɖe to ɖem, nye nu vɔ̃wo wu tsɔtsɔ nam eye nyemegate ŋu le nu kpɔm o. Wosɔ gbɔ wu nye taɖa, eye dzi ɖe le ƒonye.
13 Kia pai, e Ihowa, ki te whakaora i ahau; e Ihowa, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.
O! Yehowa, nedze ŋuwò be nàɖem; O! Yehowa, va kaba nàɖem.
14 Kia whakama, kia pororaru ngatahi te hunga e rapu ana i toku wairua kia whakamatea: kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakama te hunga e hiahia ana kia he ahau.
Ŋu nekpe ame siwo katã le nye agbe dim ne woaɖe ɖa la; woƒe mo netsi dãa, eye ame siwo katã le nye gbegblẽ dim la negbugbɔ ɖe megbe kple ŋukpe.
15 Kia huna, hei utu mo to ratou whakama te hunga e mea mai ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.
Ame siwo le gbɔgblɔm ɖe ŋunye be, “Ehɛ̃! Ehɛ̃!” la ƒe ŋukpe newɔ moya na wo.
16 Kia hari, kia koa ki a koe te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe; kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tau whakaoranga, Kia whakanuia a Ihowa.
Ke ame siwo katã dia wò la akpɔ dzidzɔ, eye woatso aseye akpɔ dzidzɔ le mewò. Ame siwo lɔ̃a wò ɖeɖe la negblɔ ɖaa be, “Mido Yehowa ɖe dzi!”
17 Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore; heoi e whakaaro ana te Ariki ki ahau: ko koe toku awhina, toku kaiwhakaora; kaua ra e whakaroa, e toku Atua.
Ke nye la, meda ahe, eye hiã le tu yem, O! Aƒetɔ, ɖo ŋku dzinye. O! Nye Mawu, wòe nye nye kpeɖeŋutɔ kple nye xɔname, mègahe ɖe megbe o.
