Waiata 74

1 He Makiri na Ahapa. E te Atua, he aha i panga ai matou e koe ake ake? He aha i pongere ai tou riri ki nga hipi o tau mara?

Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai ʻakimautolu ʻo taʻengata? Ko e hā ʻoku kohu ai ho houhau ki he fanga sipi ʻo hoʻo ngoue?

2 Mahara ki tau whakaminenga i hokona e koe i mua, i utua e koe hei iwi mo tou kainga tupu; a ki tenei Maunga Hiona i nohoia nei e koe.

Manatu ki he fakataha ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻaia naʻa ke fakatau ʻi muʻa; ko e faʻahinga ʻo ho tofiʻa, ʻaia kuo ke huhuʻi; ʻae moʻunga ni ko Saione, ʻaia naʻa ke nofo ai.

3 Hiki ake ou waewae ki nga whakangaromanga e mau tonu nei, ki nga mahi kino katoa a te hoariri ki te wahi tapu.

Hiki hake ho vaʻe ki hono ngaahi maumau kuo tuʻumaʻu pe; ʻio, ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻi he angakovi ʻe he fili ʻi he faletapu.

4 Kua hamama nei ou hoariri i waenganui i au whakaminenga, kua whakaturia e ratou a ratou kara hei tohu.

‌ʻOku ʻioho ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakataha; ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ʻenau ngaahi fuka ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga.

5 E rite ana ratou ki nga tangata e hapai ana i te titaha ki te puia rakau.

Naʻe ongoongo ʻae tangata ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene faʻa fai ke hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi toki ki he ngaahi ʻakau lahi.

6 Inaianei ia e tukitukia ana e ratou ona mea whakairo, pakaruhia iho ana ki te titaha, ki te hama.

Ka ko eni, kuo nau maumauʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi toki mo e hamala ʻae ngaahi meʻa tongitongi kotoa pē.

7 Kua toua tou wahi tapu ki te kapura, kua noa i a ratou te nohoanga o tou ingoa, kei te whenua e takoto ana.

Kuo nau lī ʻae afi ki ho faletapu, kuo nau ʻuliʻi ʻae ʻafioʻanga ʻo ho huafa ʻo holoki hifo ia ki he kelekele.

8 I mea to ratou ngakau, Me whakangaro ratou a poto ake: kua tahuna e ratou nga whare huihui katoa o te Atua i te whenua.

Naʻa nau pehē ʻi honau loto, “Ketau fakaʻauha fakataha ʻakinautolu:” kuo nau tutu ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi falelotu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he fonua.

9 Kahore matou e kite i o matou tohu, kahore atu he poropiti, kahore hoki tetahi o matou e matau ana kia pehea ake te roa.

‌ʻOku ʻikai temau kei mamata ki heʻemau ngaahi fakaʻilonga: ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻe toe: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku ne ʻilo pe ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa.

10 E te Atua, kia pehea ake te roa o te tawai a te hoariri? Ka kohukohu tonu ranei te hoariri ki tou ingoa ake ake?

‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe lauʻikovi ʻae fili? ʻE kape ki ho huafa ʻe he fili ʻo taʻengata?

11 He aha i pepeke ai tou ringa, tou matau? Unuhia i roto i tou uma, whakamotitia ratou.

Ko e hā ʻoku ke toʻo atu ai ho nima, ʻio, ho nima toʻomataʻu? Toʻo mai ia mei ho fatafata.

12 Ko te Atua ia toku Kingi o tua iho, e mahi whakaora ana i waenganui i te whenua.

He ko e ʻOtua ko hoku Tuʻi talu mei muʻa, ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakamoʻui ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo māmani.

13 Nau, na tou kaha i wawae te moana: pakaru ana i a koe nga matenga o nga tarakona i nga wai.

Naʻa ke vaeua ʻae tahi ʻi ho mālohi: naʻa ke foaʻi ʻae ʻulu ʻoe ngaahi talākoni ʻi he ngaahi vai,

14 Mongamonga noa i a koe nga matenga o rewiatana: a hoatu ana ia e koe hei kai ma te iwi o te koraha.

‌ʻOku ke foaʻi ʻo laiki ʻae ngaahi ʻulu ʻoe levaiatani, ʻo ke ʻange ia ko e meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa.

15 I wahia e koe te puna me te roma; mimiti ake i a koe nga awa nunui.

Naʻa ke vaeua ʻae matavai mo e vaitafe lahi: naʻa ke fakamōmoa ʻae ngaahi vaitafe lahi.

16 Nau te ao, nau hoki te po; nau i whakarite te marama me te ra.

‌ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻae ʻaho, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou foki mo e pō: kuo ke teuteu ʻae maama mo e laʻā.

17 Nau i whakatu nga rohe katoa o te whenua: te raumati me te hotoke, he mea whakarite ena nau.

Kuo ke ʻai ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; kuo ke ngaohi ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana mo e faʻahitaʻu momoko.

18 Kia mahara ki tenei, kua tawai te hoariri, e Ihowa: kua kohukohu te hunga poauau ki tou ingoa.

‌ʻE Sihova, manatu ki he meʻa ni, kuo lauʻikovi ʻe he fili, pea kuo kape ki ho huafa ʻae kakai vale.

19 Kaua e tukua te wairua o tau kukupa ki te kirehe: kei wareware ake ake ki te whakaminenga o au rawakore.

‌ʻOua naʻa tukuange ʻae laumālie ʻo ho ʻofaʻanga ki he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kau angakovi: ʻoua naʻa ngalo ʻiate koe ʻae fakataha ʻo ho kakai masiva ʻo taʻengata.

20 Whakaaroa te kawenata; kua kiki hoki nga wahi pouri o te whenua i nga nohoanga nanakia.

Ke ke tokanga ki he fuakava: he ʻoku pito ʻae ngaahi potu fakapoʻuli ʻo māmani ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe angamālohi.

21 Kei hoki whakama mai te tangata e tukinotia ana: kia whakamoemititia tou ingoa e te ware, e te rawakore.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke tuku ke liu mai kuo mā ʻae kakai kuo taʻomia: tuku ke fakamālō ki ho huafa ʻae kau masiva mo e vaivai.

22 E ara, e te Atua, tohea tau tohe: mahara ki ta te tangata poauau tawai ki a koe a pau noa te ra.

‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke tuʻu hake, ʻo langomakiʻi hoʻo ngāue ʻaʻau: manatu ki he lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻe he tangata vale ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

23 Kei wareware ki te reo o ou hoariri: e kake tonu ana te ngangau a te hunga e whakatika ana ki a koe.

‌ʻOua naʻa ngalo ʻae leʻo ʻo ho ngaahi fili: ko e maveuveu ʻokinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate koe ʻoku tupulekina ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
