Waiata 65
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. E taria ana koe, e te Atua, e te whakamoemiti i Hiona: a ka whakamana te kupu taurangi ki a koe.
To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out. A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
2 E te kaiwhakarongo inoi, e haere nga kikokiko katoa ki a koe.
O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
3 E kaha ake ana i ahau nga kino: a matou mahi tutu, mau ena e hipoki.
The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
4 Ka hari te tangata e whiriwhiria e koe, e meatia e koe kia tata atu ki a koe, kia noho i roto i ou marae: ka makona matou i te pai o tou whare, o tou temepara tapu.
Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,
5 He mea whakawehi, he tapu, tau utu kupu ki a matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga, e te okiokinga o nga pito katoa o te whenua, o te hunga hoki i tawhiti i runga o te moana;
Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
6 E whakau nei i nga maunga, he kaha hoki nona; tona whitiki nei he kaha.
Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
7 E whakamarie nei i te haruru o nga moana, i te haruru o o ratou ngaru, i te ngangau hoki o nga iwi.
Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
8 Ka wehi ano ki au tohu te hunga e noho ana i nga pito rawa: hari ana i a koe nga putake o te ata, o te ahiahi.
And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
9 E tirotirohia ana e koe te whenua, e whakamakukuria ana, e whakamomonatia nuitia ana e koe; ki tonu te awa o te Atua i te wai: oti rawa ake te whakapai e koe, kua rite mai i a koe he witi mo aua wahi.
Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
10 Makuku rawa i a koe ona moa, pe ana i a koe ona tupuke: e whakangawaritia ana e koe ki nga ua: e manaakitia ana e koe tona pihinga ake.
Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
11 E karaunatia ana e koe te tau ki tou pai; e maturuturu ana hoki te momonatanga o ou ara.
Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
12 E maturuturu ana ki nga wahi kai o te koraha: a whitikiria ana nga pukepuke ki te koa.
The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,
13 He hipi te kakahu o nga wahi kai; ngaro ana nga raorao i te witi; hamama ana ratou i te hari, waiata ana.
The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
