Waiata 70

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Na Rawiri, hei whakamahara. Kia hohoro, e te Atua, ki te whakaora i ahau: e Ihowa, hohoro ki te awhina i ahau.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida. Isikhalazo. Phangisa, Oh Nkulunkulu, ungisindise; Oh Thixo, woza masinyane uzongisiza.

2 Kia whakama, kia pororaru ngatahi te hunga e rapu ana i toku wairua: kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakama te hunga e hiahia ana kia he ahau.

Sengathi labo abafuna impilo yami bangayangiswa basanganiswe; sengathi bonke abafisa ukuwa kwami bangabuyiselwa emuva beyangekile.

3 Kia whakahokia ki muri mo to ratou whakama, te hunga e mea ana ki ahau, Ha, ha.

Sengathi labo abathi kimi, “Ehe! Ehe!” bangafulathela ngenxa yehlazo labo.

4 Kia hari, kia koa, ki a koe te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe; kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tau whakaoranga, Kia whakanuia te Atua.

Kodwa akuthi bonke abakudingayo bathokoze bajabule kuwe; akuthi labo abathanda insindiso yakho bahlale besithi, “uThixo kadunyiswe!”

5 Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore; hohoro mai, e te Atua, ki ahau: ko koe toku awhina, toku kaiwhakaora; kaua ra e whakaroa, e Ihowa.

Ikanti ngingumyanga ngiyaswela; woza masinyane kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu. Ulusizo lwami lomkhululi wami; Oh Thixo, ungaphuzi.
