Waiata 69
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Hohanimi. Na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau e te Atua, ka tae mai hoki nga wai ki roto ki toku wairua.
To the choirmaster on Shoshannim of David. Save me O God for they have come waters to [the] neck.
2 Ka tapoko ahau ki te oru hohonu, ki te wahi kahore nei he tunga: kua tae ahau ki nga wai hohonu, ngaro iho ahau i nga waipuke.
I have sunk - in mire of depth and there not [is] a foothold I have come in depths of water and a flood it has overflowed me.
3 Kua ruwha ahau i taku tangi; kua maroke toku korokoro: pakoko kau oku kanohi i ahau e tatari nei ki toku Atua.
I have become weary by calling out my it has become parched throat my they have failed eyes my waiting for God my.
4 Tini ke i nga makawe o toku matenga te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa te hunga e mauahara noa ana ki ahau, e mea nei kia whakamatea ahau; utua ana e ahau i reira nga mea kihai i tangohia e ahau.
They are many - more than [the] hairs of head my [those who] hate me without cause they are numerous [those who] destroy me enemies my falsehood [that] which not I stole then I will return.
5 E te Atua, e matau ana koe ki toku kuware; kahore hoki oku he e ngaro i a koe.
O God you you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.
6 E te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano kaua te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e whakama i ahau: e te Atua o Iharaira, kei numinumi kau i ahau te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
May not they be ashamed in me - [those who] wait for you O Lord Yahweh of hosts may not they be humiliated in me [those who] seek you O God of Israel.
7 Mou hoki ahau i waiho ai hei tawainga: ngaro iho toku mata i te whakama.
For on you I have borne reproach it has covered ignominy face my.
8 He tangata ke ahau ki oku hoa ake: hei tautangata ki nga tama a toku whaea.
Estranged I have become to brothers my and a foreigner to [the] children of mother my.
9 Ka pau hoki ahau i te aroha ki tou whare: kua tau ano ki ahau nga tawai a te hunga e tawai ana ki a koe.
For [the] zeal of house your it has consumed me and [the] reproaches of [those who] reproach you they have fallen on me.
10 I ahau i tangi, i whakatiki hei whiu i toku wairua, ka waiho tena hei tawainga moku.
And I wept with fasting self my and it became reproach to me.
11 I kakahu hoki ahau i te kakahu taratara moku, a i waiho hei whakatauki ma ratou.
And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.
12 Kei te korero kino moku te hunga e noho ana i te kuwaha: waiatatia ana ahau e te hunga haurangi waina.
They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.
13 Ko ahau ia, ki a koe taku inoi, e Ihowa, i te wa e manakohia ai: whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua, i runga i te nui o tou aroha, o te pono o tau whakaoranga.
And I prayer my [is] to you - O Yahweh a time of favor O God in [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your answer me in [the] faithfulness of salvation your.
14 Whakaorangia ahau i roto i te oru, kei toremi: kia ora ahau i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, i nga wai hohonu ano hoki.
Deliver me from [the] mud and may not I sink may I be delivered from [those who] hate me and from depths of water.
15 Kei ngaro ahau i te waipuke, kei horomia e te rire; kei kopia ano te waha o te poka ki runga ki ahau.
May not it overflow me - a flood of water and may not it swallow up me [the] deep and may not it close over me [the] pit mouth its.
16 E Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he pai hoki tou atawhai: tahuri mai ki ahau, kia rite ki te nui o au arohatanga.
Answer me O Yahweh for [is] good covenant loyalty your according to [the] greatness of compassion your turn to me.
17 A kaua e huna tou mata ki tau pononga; e pouri ana hoki ahau: hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
And may not you hide face your from servant your for it is distress to me hurry answer me.
18 Whakatata mai ki toku wairua, hokona: whakaorangia ahau, e mahi nei oku hoariri.
Draw near! to self my redeem it on account of enemies my ransom me.
19 E matau ana koe ki toku tawainga, ki toku whakama, ki toku numinumi: kei tou aroaro oku hoariri katoa.
You you know reproach my and shame my and ignominy my [are] before you all opposers my.
20 Maru noa toku ngakau i te tawai; a ki tonu ahau i te pouri: i titiro ahau ki tetahi hei aroha mai, a kore ake; ki etahi hei whakamarie, a kihai i kitea.
Reproach - it has broken heart my and I have become sick! and I waited to show sympathy and there not and for comforters and not I found [them].
21 I homai he au hei kai maku: i toku matewaitanga ano i whakainumia ahau ki te winika.
And they put in food my poison and for thirst my they gave to drink me vinegar.
22 Kia meinga ta ratou tepu i to ratou aroaro hei mahanga; hei rore hoki i to ratou wa rangimarie.
May it become table their before them a trap and for allies a snare.
23 Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kei kite ratou: kia wiri tonu hoki o ratou hope.
May they grow dim eyes their from seeing and loins their continually make to shake.
24 Ringihia atu tou riri ki runga ki a ratou, kia mau hoki ratou i tou arita, i tou weriweri.
Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.
25 Kia ururuatia to ratou nohoanga: kaua tetahi e noho ki o ratou teneti.
May it be encampment their made desolate in tents their may not anyone be dwelling.
26 Mo ratou i tukino i te tangata i whiua nei e koe; a korerotia ana e ratou te pouri o te hunga i werohia e koe.
For you [those] whom you struck they have harassed and concerning [the] pain of fatally wounded [ones] your they have recounted.
27 Tapiritia he kino ki runga ki to ratou kino; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tomo ki tou tika.
Put! iniquity to iniquity their and may not they come in righteousness your.
28 Kia murua atu ratou i te pukapuka o te ora, kaua ano e tuhituhia ki roto ki te hunga tika.
May they be wiped out from [the] scroll of life and with righteous [people] may not they be written down.
29 Ko ahau ia, he rawakore, he pouri; kia whakateiteitia ake ahau, e te Atua, e tau whakaoranga.
And I [am] afflicted and [am] in pain salvation your O God may it set on high me.
30 Ka whakamoemiti taku waiata ki te ingoa o te Atua, ka whakanui ano taku whakawhetai i a ia.
I will praise [the] name of God with a song and I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 Pai rawa tenei ki a Ihowa i te puru i te kau, i te mea whai haona, whai maikuku.
So it may be good to Yahweh more than an ox a young bull having horns having hooves.
32 Kua kite te hunga mahaki, kua hari: ka ora ano o koutou ngakau, e te hunga e rapu nei i te Atua.
They will see humble [people] they will rejoice O [you who] seek God and may it live heart your.
33 No te mea ka rongo a Ihowa ki nga rawakore, e kore ano e whakahawea ki ana herehere.
For [is] listening to needy [people] Yahweh and prisoners his not he despises.
34 Kia whakamoemiti te rangi me te whenua ki a ia, nga moana, me nga mea katoa e tere ana i roto.
May they praise him heaven and earth [the] seas and every [thing which] moves in them.
35 No te mea tera e whakaorangia e te Atua a Hiona, ka hanga ano e ia nga pa o Hura; a ka noho ratou ki reira, ka riro hoki a reira i a ratou.
For God - he will save Zion so he may rebuild [the] cities of Judah and they will dwell there and they will take possession of it.
36 A ka nohoia a reira e nga uri o ana pononga: hei kainga tupu ano a reira mo te hunga e aroha ana ki tona ingoa.
And [the] offspring of servants his they will inherit it and [those who] love name his they will dwell in it.
