Waiata 81
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Kititi. Na Ahapa. Kia kaha te waiata ki te Atua, ki to tatou kaha: kia hari te hamama ki te Atua o Hakopa.
Hlabelani kakhulu kuNkulunkulu amandla ethu, lihlokome ngentokozo kuNkulunkulu kaJakobe.
2 Whakahuatia te himene, maua mai ki konei te timipera, te hapa reka me te hatere.
Thathani ingoma, lilethe isigujana, ichacho elimnandi kanye logubhu lwezintambo.
3 Whakatangihia te tetere i te kowhititanga marama, i te kinga o te marama, i to tatou ra hakari.
Vuthelani uphondo ekuthwaseni kwenyanga, esikhathini esimisiweyo, ngosuku lomkhosi wethu.
4 Ko te tikanga hoki tenei ma Iharaira, he mea whakarite na te Atua o Hakopa.
Ngoba lokho kuyisimiso kuIsrayeli, umthetho kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe.
5 I whakatakotoria tenei e ia ma Hohepa hei whakaaturanga, i tona haerenga puta noa i te whenua o Ihipa: i rongo ai ahau ki reira i tetahi reo, kahore ahau i matau.
Wakumisa kwaba yibufakazi kuJosefa, ekuphumeni kwakhe emelene lelizwe leGibhithe; ngezwa ulimi engingalwaziyo.
6 I tangohia mai e ahau tona pokohiwi i te pikaunga: whakarerea ake e ona ringa te kete.
Ngasusa ihlombe lakhe emthwalweni; izandla zakhe zakhululwa ezimbizeni.
7 I karanga koe ki ahau i te pouritanga, a kua ora koe i ahau; i whakahoki kupu ahau ki a koe i te wahi ngaro o te whatitiri; i whakamatau i a koe ki nga wai o Meripa. (Hera)
Wakhala usenhluphekweni, ngakukhulula; ngakuphendula ekusithekeni komdumo; ngakuhlola emanzini eMeriba. (Sela)
8 Whakarongo, e taku iwi, a ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe: e Iharaira, ki te whakarongo koe ki ahau;
Zwana, sizwe sami, ngizafakaza kuwe, Israyeli, aluba ungangilalela.
9 Aua tetahi atua ke i roto i a koe; kaua ano e koropiko ki te atua ke.
Kakungabi khona phakathi kwakho unkulunkulu wezizweni, njalo ungakhonzi unkulunkulu wezizweni.
10 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua, i arahina mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa: kia nui te kowhera o tou mangai, a maku e whakaki.
Mina ngiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, owakwenyusa usuka elizweni leGibhithe. Khamisa umlomo wakho ube banzi, njalo ngizawugcwalisa.
11 Otiia kihai taku iwi i pai ki te whakarongo ki toku reo: kihai ano a Iharaira i aro ki ahau.
Kodwa abantu bami kabalilalelanga ilizwi lami; loIsrayeli kavumelananga lami.
12 Na tukua atu ana ratou e ahau ki te maro o o ratou ngakau: a haere ana ratou i runga i o ratou whakaaro.
Ngakho ngabanikela enkanini yenhliziyo yabo, ukuze bahambe kumacebo abo.
13 Aue, te whakarongo taku iwi ki ahau! Te haere a Iharaira i aku ara!
Kungathi abantu bami bebengangilalela, uIsrayeli ahambe endleleni zami!
14 Penei e kore e aha kua whati i ahau te tara o o ratou hoariri: kua tahuri ano toku ringa ki o ratou hoariri.
Masinyane bengingazehlisela phansi izitha zabo, ngiphendulele isandla sami kwabamelene labo.
15 Ko te hunga e kino ana ki a Ihowa kua ngohengohe ki a ia: ko to ratou taima ia kua mau tonu.
Abayizondayo iNkosi bangatshotshobala phambi kwayo ngokuzenzisa, kodwa isikhathi sabo besizakuba phakade.
16 Kua whangainga hoki ratou e ia ki te witi pai rawa, kua whakamakonatia ano koe e ahau ki te honi i roto i te kohatu.
Wayezabondla ngamanono engqoloyi; njalo bengizakusuthisa ngoluju oluvela edwaleni.
