Waiata 68
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata na Rawiri. Kia ara te Atua, kia marara ona hoariri: kia whati hoki i tona aroaro te hunga e kino ana ki a ia.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.
2 Aia atu ratou, peratia me te paowa e aia ana: kia rite ki te ware pi e rewa ana i te kapura te ngaromanga o te hunga kino i te aroaro o te Atua.
As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.
3 Kia koa ia te hunga tika; kia hari i te aroaro o te Atua: ae ra, kia tino hari pu ratou.
But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.
4 Waiata ki te Atua, himenetia tona ingoa; opehia ake he huanui mo tana hariata i nga koraha; tona ingoa ko IHA; kia hari hoki ki tona aroaro.
Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds — His name is the LORD— and rejoice before Him.
5 Hei matua mo nga pani, hei kaiwhakarite mo nga pouaru, te Atua i tona nohoanga tapu.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
6 E whakanohoia ana e te Atua te mokemoke ki te whare; e whakaputaina ana e ia nga herehere ki te ora: ko te hunga tutu ia e noho i te wahi waikore.
God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 E te Atua, i tou haerenga atu i mua i tau iwi: i tou haerenga i te koraha; (Hera)
O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland,
8 I wiri te whenua, i tuturu iho ano nga rangi i te aroaro o te Atua; me taua Hinai ano i te aroaro o te Atua, o te Atua o Iharaira.
the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
9 I taia mai, e koe, e te Atua, he ua nui; a i tou kainga e ruwha ana ka whakaukia e koe.
You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.
10 I noho tau whakaminenga ki reira: na tou pai, e te Atua, i mea kai ai koe ma nga rawakore.
Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.
11 Ka homai e Ihowa te kupu: he ope nui nga wahine whakapuaki.
The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:
12 Whati rawa nga kingi o nga taua: a ko te wahine i noho i te whare, kei te tuwha i nga parakete.
“Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.
13 I a koutou ka takoto noa i nga takotoranga hipi, he rite ki nga pakau o te kukupa kua paparuatia nei ki te hiriwa, ona hou ki te koura whero.
Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”
14 I te whakamararatanga a te Kaha Rawa i nga kingi i reira, koia ano kei te hukarere o Taramono te ma.
When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.
15 He maunga Atua a Maunga Pahana; he maunga tiketike a Maunga Pahana.
A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.
16 He aha koutou ka titiro titaha ai, e nga maunga tiketike, ki te maunga i hiahiatia nei e te Atua kia nohoia e ia? ae, ka nohoia e Ihowa ake ake.
Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.
17 Ko nga hariata a te Atua, e rua tekau mano, mano mano iho; kei roto i a ratou te Ariki, me te mea ko Hinai, ko te wahi tapu.
The chariots of God are tens of thousands— thousands of thousands are they; the Lord is in His sanctuary as He was at Sinai.
18 Kua kake koe ki runga, kua whakaraua e koe te whakarau: kua riro i a koe he ohaoha mo te tangata; ae, mo te hunga tutu ano, kia noho ai a Ihowa, te Atua ki a ratou.
You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.
19 Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, e whakawaha nei i ta tatou pikaunga i tenei ra, i tenei ra, te Atua o to tatou whakaoranga. (Hera)
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation.
20 Ko to tatou Atua te Atua o te whakaoranga: na Ihowa ano, na te Ariki, nga putanga ake i te mate.
Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.
21 Ka maru ia i te Atua te matenga o ona hoariri: me te tumuaki huruhuru o te tangata e haere tonu ana i ana kino.
Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.
22 I mea te Ariki, Ka whakahokia mai e ahau i Pahana, ka whakahokia mai e ahau taku iwi i nga rire o te moana:
The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,
23 Kia toua ai tou waewae ki te toto, kia whiwhi ai te arero o au kuri ki tana wahi o ou hoariri.
that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
24 I kite ratou, e te Atua, i ou haerenga, i nga haerenga o toku Atua, o toku Kingi, i te wahi tapu.
They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.
25 Ko nga kaiwaiata i haere i mua, i muri ko nga kaiwhakatangi, i waenganui o nga kotiro e patupatu ana i nga timipera.
The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.
26 Whakapaingia te Atua i roto i nga whakaminenga, te Ariki hoki, e nga mea i puta mai i te matapuna o Iharaira.
Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.
27 Kei reira a Pineamine, te whakaotinga, to ratou ariki, nga rangatira o Hura, me to ratou ropu, nga rangatira o Hepurona, me nga rangatira o Napatari.
There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.
28 Kua oti he kaha mou te whakahau iho e tou Atua: whakaukia, e te Atua, tau i mea ai mo matou.
Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.
29 Ka maua mai e nga kingi he hakari ki a koe, mo tou temepara i Hiruharama.
Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.
30 Riria te kirehe o nga kakaho, te huinga puru, me nga kuao kau a nga iwi, me te takahi i nga pihi hiriwa ki raro: whakamararatia nga iwi e ahuareka ana ki te whainga.
Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31 E puta mai nga rangatira i Ihipa: meake hohoro te totoro o nga ringa o Etiopia ki te Atua.
Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.
32 Waiata ki te Atua, e nga rangatiratanga o te whenua: himene ki te Ariki: (Hera)
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—
33 Ki a ia, ko tona hariata nei ko nga rangi o nga rangi, nonamata: na, ka puaki tona reo, he reo kaha.
to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.
34 Waiho te kaha i te Atua, kei runga nei i a Iharaira tana mahi rangatira: kei nga kapua hoki tona kaha.
Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.
35 Ka wehingia koe, e te Atua, i roto i ou wahi tapu: ko te Atua o Iharaira te kaihomai i te kaha, i te mana, ki tona iwi. Whakapaingia te Atua.
O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
