Waiata 85
1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene ma nga tama a Koraha. E Ihowa, kua aro mai koe ki tou whenua, kua whakahokia mai e koe a Hakopa i te whakarau.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
2 Kua murua e koe te kino o tau iwi, kua hipokina e koe o ratou hara katoa (Hera)
Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
3 Kua mutu katoa tou weriweri; kua tahuri ke koe i te aritarita o tou riri.
Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
4 Whakahokia ake matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga: meinga hoki kia mutu tou riri ki a matou.
Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
5 E riri ranei koe ki a matou ake ake? E mauahara tonu ranei, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa?
Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
6 E kore ianei koe e whakahoki ake i a matou ki te ora: kia hari ai tau iwi ki a koe?
Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
7 E Ihowa, whakakitea mai tau mahi tohu ki a matou: tukua mai ki a matou tau whakaoranga.
Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
8 Ka whakarongo ahau ki ta te Atua, ki ta Ihowa, e korero ai: no te mea mo te rongo mau ana korero ki tana iwi, ki tana hunga tapu hoki; kaua ia ratou e hoki ki te wairangi.
Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
9 Ina, he tata tonu tana whakaoranga ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, kia noho ai te kororia ki to tatou whenua.
Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
10 Kua tutaki te mahi tohu raua ko te pono: kua kihi ki a raua te tika me te rongo mau.
Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
11 Ka tupu ake te pono i te whenua, a ka titiro iho te tika i te rangi.
Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
12 Ae, ka homai e Ihowa te pai: a ka tukua mai ona hua e to tatou whenua.
Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
13 Ka haere te tika i mua i a ia, hei whakatu i a tatou ki te ara o ona hikoinga.
Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
