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.
O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.
2 Wiri ana te whenua i a koe: kua ngatata i a koe: whakakapia ona wahi pakaru; e ru ana hoki.
You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.
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 showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
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 given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Hei mea e mawhiti ai au e aroha ai: ma tou matau e whakaora, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.
That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
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 in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out 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 also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
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 wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.
9 Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa kaha? Na wai ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into 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.
Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?
11 Homai he awhina mo matou ki o matou hoariri: he teka noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
