< Waiata 76 >
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nekinoto. He himene, he waiata na Ahapa. E matauria ana te Atua i roto i a Hura, he nui tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa ʻAsafi. ʻOku ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi Siuta: ʻOku lahi hono huafa ʻi ʻIsileli.
2 Kei Harema hoki tona tapenakara; kei Hiona tona nohoanga.
ʻOku ʻi Selemi foki hono fale fehikitaki, mo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻi Saione.
3 I whati i a ia i reira nga pere o te kopere, te whakangungu rakau, te hoari, me nga mea mo te whawhai. (Hera)
Naʻe fesifesi ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ngahau ʻoe kaufana, ʻae fakaū, mo e heletā, mo e tau. (Sila)
4 Tera atu tou kororia, tou nui, i to nga maunga kirehe.
ʻOku ke nāunauʻia mo lelei lahi hake ʻa koe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe fakamālohi.
5 Kua pahuatia te hunga ngakau toa, moe ana ratou i ta ratou moe; kihai ano i whai ringa tetahi o nga marohirohi.
Kuo ikuna ʻae kau loto mālohi, kuo nau mohe ʻi heʻenau mohe: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau tangata mālohi ʻoku ʻilo honau nima.
6 Na tau whakatupehupehu, e te Atua o Hakopa, i parangia ai te hariata me te hoiho e te moe.
ʻE ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope, ʻi hoʻo tautea kuo ke lī fakatouʻosi pē ʻae saliote mo e hoosi ki he mohe ʻoe mate.
7 Ko koe, ina, ko koe e wehingia; ko wai hoki e tu ki tou aroaro ina riri koe?
Ko koe, ʻio, ko koe, ko e manavahēʻia: pea ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻoka ke ka houhau?
8 Nau i rangona iho ai te whakawa i te rangi: wehi ana te whenua, whakaririka kau ana,
Naʻa ke fakaongoʻi ʻae fakamaau mei he langi; naʻe manavahē ai ʻa māmani, ʻo tuʻu taʻengaue,
9 I te aranga ake o te Atua ki te whakawa, ki te whakaora i te hunga mahaki katoa o te whenua. (Hera)
ʻI he tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua ki he fakamaau, ke fakamoʻui ʻae kau angavaivai kotoa pē ʻo māmani. (Sila)
10 He pono ka whai kororia koe i te riri o te tangata: mau ano e whitiki te toenga o te riri.
Ko e moʻoni ʻe fakaongolelei koe ʻe he ʻita ʻae tangata: pea ko hono toe ʻoe ʻita te ke lolomi.
11 Whakapuakina te kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, whakamana hoki; e te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, mauria he hakari ki a ia, ka tika hoki te wehi ki a ia.
Mou fuakava, ʻo fai ia kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua: tuku ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate ia ʻoku totonu ke manavahē ki ai, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻo takatakai ia.
12 Mana e poro atu te wairua o nga rangatira: e matakuria ana ia e nga kingi o te whenua.
ʻE motuhi ʻe ia ʻae loto lahi ʻoe houʻeiki: ʻoku fakailifia ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.
