Waiata 60
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Huhana Erutu. He Mikitama, na Rawiri, hei whakaako. No tana whawhaitanga ki a Aramanaharaima raua ko Aramatopa. Na hoki ana a Ioapa, a patua ana e ia a Eroma ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau ma rua mano. E te Atua, kua pa nga matou e koe, kua oti matou te whakamarara e koe, kua riri koe; tahuri mai ano ki a matou.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
2 Wiri ana te whenua i a koe: kua ngatata i a koe: whakakapia ona wahi pakaru; e ru ana hoki.
You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 He mea pakeke kua whakakitea e koe ki tau iwi, kua oti matou te whakainu e koe ki te waina e wiri ai.
You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
4 Kua homai e koe he kara ki te hunga e wehi ana i a koe: kia whakakitea hei mea mo te pono. (Hera)
You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow.
5 Hei mea e mawhiti ai au e aroha ai: ma tou matau e whakaora, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
6 Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu; ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe hoki i te raorao o Hukota.
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
7 Noku Kireara, noku ano a Manahi, ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku kaiwhakatakoto ture;
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
8 Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: e Pirihitia, ko ahau hei whakamanamana mau.
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa kaha? Na wai ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 He teka ranei, e te Atua, kua panga matou e koe? kahore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me a matou taua.
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
11 Homai he awhina mo matou ki o matou hoariri: he teka noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
12 Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
