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.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Mede boasetɔ twɛn Awurade; na ɔhwɛɛ me, na ɔtee me sufrɛ.
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.
Oyii me fii amoa a mu yɛ toro mu, fii dɔte ne dontori mu; ɔde mʼanan sii ɔbotan so na ɔmaa me baabi pa gyinae.
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.
Ɔde dwom foforo hyɛɛ mʼanom, ayeyi dwom a yɛde ma yɛn Nyankopɔn. Bebree behu na wɔasuro, na wɔde wɔn werɛ ahyɛ Awurade mu.
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.
Nhyira ne onipa a ɔde Awurade yɛ nʼahotoso, nea ɔmfa nʼani nto ahomaso so, ne wɔn a wɔman di anyame huhuw akyi.
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.
Awurade me Nyankopɔn woayɛ anwonwade bebree. Nneɛma a wohyehyɛ maa yɛn no obiara ntumi nka ne nyinaa nkyerɛ wo; sɛ meka se mereka ne nyinaa ho asɛm a ɛbɛdɔɔso dodo.
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.
Wompɛ afɔrebɔ ne ayɛyɛde, nanso woabue mʼaso; woampɛ ɔhyew afɔre ne bɔne afɔre.
7 Na ko taku meatanga atu, Na kua tae mai ahau: kei roto i te pukapuka te tuhituhi moku.
Na mekae se, “Mini, maba, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw afa me ho wɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu no.
8 Ko taku pai ko te mea i tau e pai ai, e toku Atua: ae ra, kei toku ngakau tau ture.
Me Nyankopɔn, mepɛ sɛ meyɛ wʼapɛde; wo mmara wɔ me koma mu.”
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.
Meka wo trenee ho asɛm wɔ guabɔ kɛse ase; mimmua mʼano, Awurade, sɛnea wunim no.
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.
Memmfa wo trenee ho asɛm nsie me koma mu; meka wo nokware ne wo nkwagye ho asɛm. Mankata wʼadɔe ne wo nokware so wɔ guabɔ kɛse no ase.
11 Kei kaiponuhia tou aroha ki ahau, e Ihowa: ma tou atawhai me tou pono ahau e tiaki i nga wa katoa.
Awurade, nyi wʼahummɔbɔ mfi me so; ma wʼadɔe ne wo nokware mmɔ me ho ban daa.
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.
Ɔhaw bebree atwa me ho ahyia; mʼamumɔyɛ abu afa me so enti minhu ade bio. Ɛdɔɔso sen me ti so nwi, na me koma abotow wɔ me mu.
13 Kia pai, e Ihowa, ki te whakaora i ahau; e Ihowa, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.
Awurade, ma ɛnsɔ wʼani sɛ wubegye me; Awurade, bra ntɛm bɛboa me.
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.
Wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wokum me no nyinaa, ma wɔn anim ngu ase na wɔnyɛ basaa; ma wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ mesɛe no mfa aniwu nsan wɔn akyi.
15 Kia huna, hei utu mo to ratou whakama te hunga e mea mai ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.
Ma wɔn a wɔka, “Ɔtwea! Ɔtwea!” kyerɛ me no nsan wɔn akyi, esiane wɔn aniwu nti.
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.
Nanso ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo nyinaa nsɛpɛw wɔn ho na wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu; ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo nkwagye no nka da biara se, “Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse!”
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.
Nanso meyɛ ohiani ne mmɔborɔni; ma Awurade nnwen me ho. Wo ne me boafo ne me gyefo; wo ne me Nyankopɔn, bra ntɛm.
