Waiata 51
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri, i te taenga o Natana poropiti ki a ia, mo tona haerenga ki a Patehepa. Tohungia ahau, e te Atua, kia rite ki tou atawhai: kia rite ki tou aroha nui te murunga o oku he.
Ngihawukela, Nkulunkulu, ngokothandolomusa wakho; ngobunengi besihawu sakho yesula iziphambeko zami.
2 Horoia rawatia toku kino: kia ma hoki toku hara.
Ungigezisise ebubini bami, ungihlambulule esonweni sami.
3 E whaki ana hoki ahau i aku mahi tutu: kei toku aroaro tonu toku hara.
Ngoba mina ngiyazivuma iziphambeko zami, lesono sami sihlezi siphambi kwami.
4 He hara ki a koe, ki a koe anake, toku; i meatia ano tenei he ki tou aroaro; kia tika ai koe i tau korerotanga, kia ma ai hoki ina whakawa.
Ngonile kuwe, kuwe wedwa, ngenze okubi emehlweni akho, ukuze kuthiwe ulungile ekukhulumeni kwakho, uhlanzeke ekwahluleleni kwakho.
5 Na i whakaahuatia ahau i roto i te kino, i runga ano i te hara toku whakahaputanga ki roto ki toku whaea.
Khangela, ngazalelwa ebubini, lomama wangomulela esonweni.
6 Na ko tau e matenui ai ko te pono i nga wahi o roto, a ka whakaakona oku wahi ngaro e koe ki te whakaaro nui.
Khangela, uthanda iqiniso endaweni ezingaphakathi; lekusithekeni ungenza ngazi inhlakanipho.
7 Purea ahau ki te hihopa, a ka ma ahau; horoia ahau, a ka ma ke atu i te hukarere.
Ngihlanze ngehisope, ngizahlambuluka; ngigezisa, ngizakuba mhlophe kuleliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
8 Meinga kia rongo ahau i te hari, i te koa, a ka whakamanamana nga iwi i whatiia nei e koe.
Ngizwise intokozo lenjabulo, ukuze athabe amathamboowachobozileyo.
9 Huna tou mata ki oku hara; a murua katoatia oku kino.
Fihla ubuso bakho ezonweni zami, wesule zonke iziphambeko zami.
10 Hanga, e te Atua, he ngakau ma ki roto ki ahau: whakahoutia hoki ki roto ki ahau he wairua tika.
Nkulunkulu, dala kimi inhliziyo ehlambulukileyo, njalo uvuselele umoya oqinileyo phakathi kwami.
11 Kaua ahau e maka i tou aroaro; kaua hoki tou wairua tapu e tangohia i ahau.
Ungangilahli ebusweni bakho, njalo ungasusi umoya wakho ongcwele kimi.
12 Whakahokia mai ki ahau te hari o tau whakaoranga: tautokona hoki ahau ki te wairua kakama.
Buyisela kimi intokozo yosindiso lwakho, ungisekele ngomoya ovumayo.
13 Ko reira ahau whakaako ai i au ara ki te hunga tutu; a ka tahuri te hunga hara ki a koe.
Khona ngizafundisa abaphambukayo indlela zakho, lezoni zizaphendukela kuwe.
14 Whakaorangia ahau i te hara toto, e te Atua, e te Atua o toku whakaoranga, a ka waiatatia au mahi tika e toku arero.
Ngikhulula ecaleni legazi, Nkulunkulu, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwami, ulimi lwami luzahlabelela kakhulu ngokulunga kwakho.
15 Whakatuwheratia oku ngutu, e te Ariki; a ka puaki i toku mangai te whakamoemiti ki a koe.
Nkosi, vula indebe zami, lomlomo wami uzamemezela indumiso yakho.
16 Kahore nei hoki koe e aro ki te patunga tapu; penei kua hoatu e ahau: kahore koe e ahuareka ki te tahunga tinana.
Ngoba kawuthandi umhlatshelo, ngoba bengizawunika; kawuthokozi ngomnikelo wokutshiswa.
17 Ko nga patunga tapu ma te Atua he wairua maru: e kore koe e whakahawea e te Atua, ki te ngakau maru, ki te ngakau iro.
Imihlatshelo kaNkulunkulu ingumoya odabukileyo; inhliziyo edabukileyo leyephukileyo, Nkulunkulu, kawuyikuyidelela.
18 Kia pai koe ki te atawhai i Hiona: hanga nga taiepa o Hiruharama.
Yenzele iZiyoni okuhle ngokuthanda kwakho; uyakhe imiduli yeJerusalema.
19 Ko reira koe pai ai ki nga patunga tapu o te tika, ki nga tahunga tinana, he mea whakaeke katoa: ko reira ratou whakaeke ai i nga puru ki runga ki tou aata.
Khona uzajabulela iminikelo yokulunga, umnikelo wokutshiswa, lomnikelo wonke; khona bezanikela amajongosi phezu kwelathi lakho.
