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.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ʻE Sihova, kuo ke finangalo lelei ki ho fonua: kuo ke toe ʻomi ʻa Sēkope mei he pōpula.
2 Kua murua e koe te kino o tau iwi, kua hipokina e koe o ratou hara katoa (Hera)
Kuo ke fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻa hoʻo kakai, kuo ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau angahala kotoa pē. (Sila)
3 Kua mutu katoa tou weriweri; kua tahuri ke koe i te aritarita o tou riri.
Kuo ke toʻo ʻo ʻave ho houhau kotoa pē: kuo ke fakatafoki koe mei he kakaha ʻo ho houhau.
4 Whakahokia ake matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga: meinga hoki kia mutu tou riri ki a matou.
Fakatafoki ʻakimautolu, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻemau moʻui, pea ke fakangata ho houhau kiate kimautolu.
5 E riri ranei koe ki a matou ake ake? E mauahara tonu ranei, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa?
Te ke houhau kiate kimautolu ke taʻengata? Te ke toloi atu ho houhau ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē?
6 E kore ianei koe e whakahoki ake i a matou ki te ora: kia hari ai tau iwi ki a koe?
ʻIkai te ke toe fakaakeake ʻakimautolu: koeʻuhi ke fiefia hoʻo kakai ʻiate koe?
7 E Ihowa, whakakitea mai tau mahi tohu ki a matou: tukua mai ki a matou tau whakaoranga.
Fakahā kiate kimautolu hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, mo ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo fakamoʻui.
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.
Te u fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua ko Sihova: he te ne folofolaʻaki ʻae melino ki hono kakai, pea ki heʻene kau māʻoniʻoni: kaeʻoua naʻa nau toe tafoki ki he kovi.
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.
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ofi ʻene fakamoʻui kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke nofo ʻae monūʻia ʻi hotau fonua.
10 Kua tutaki te mahi tohu raua ko te pono: kua kihi ki a raua te tika me te rongo mau.
Kuo fakafetaulaki ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni; ko e māʻoniʻoni mo e melino kuo na toutou fekita.
11 Ka tupu ake te pono i te whenua, a ka titiro iho te tika i te rangi.
ʻE tupu hake ʻae moʻoni mei he kelekele; pea ʻe sio hifo ʻae māʻoniʻoni mei he langi.
12 Ae, ka homai e Ihowa te pai: a ka tukua mai ona hua e to tatou whenua.
ʻIo, ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku lelei; pea ʻe tuku mai hono fua ʻe hotau fonua.
13 Ka haere te tika i mua i a ia, hei whakatu i a tatou ki te ara o ona hikoinga.
ʻE muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hotau vaʻe ʻi hono hala.
