Waiata 88
1 He waiata, he himene ma nga tama a Koraha. Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Maharata Reanoto. He Makiri na Hemana Eterahi. E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku whakaoranga, he tangi taku ki tou aroaro i te ao, i te po.
The song of salm, to the sones of Chore, to victorie on Mahalat, for to answere, the lernyng of Heman Ezraite. Lord God of myn helthe; Y criede in dai and nyyt bifore thee.
2 Kia tae atu taku inoi ki tou aroaro: whakatitahatia mai tou taringa ki taku tangi.
Mi preier entre bifore thi siyt; bowe doun thin eere to my preier.
For my soule is fillid with yuels; and my lijf neiyede to helle. (Sheol h7585)
4 Kua taua tahitia ahau me te hunga e heke ana ki te rua; e rite ana ahau ki te tangata kahore ona awhina!
I am gessid with hem that goon doun in to the lake; Y am maad as a man with outen help,
5 I maka ki waenga i nga tupapaku, me he tangata i patua e takoto ana i te urupa, kahore nei e maharatia e koe i muri; he mea momotu ke ratou na tou ringa.
and fre among deed men. As men woundid slepinge in sepulcris, of whiche men noon is myndeful aftir; and thei ben put awei fro thin hond.
6 Kua whakatakotoria ahau e koe ki te rua i raro riro, ki te pouri, ki nga rire.
Thei han put me in the lower lake; in derke places, and in the schadewe of deth.
7 E pehia ana ahau e tou riri, e pakia ana hoki e koe ki au ngaru katoa. (Hera)
Thi strong veniaunce is confermed on me; and thou hast brouyt in alle thi wawis on me.
8 Kua whakamataratia atu e koe oku hoa kia tawhiti i ahau: kua meinga ahau e koe hei mea whakarihariha ki a ratou: kua uakina mai ahau, a kahore e puta ki waho.
Thou hast maad fer fro me my knowun; thei han set me abhomynacioun to hem silf. I am takun, and Y yede not out;
9 Kua he toku kanohi i te tangihanga: e karanga ana ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i nga ra katoa, kua totoro hoki oku ringa ki a koe.
myn iyen weren sijk for pouert. Lord, Y criede to thee; al dai Y spredde abrood myn hondis to thee.
10 Tera ranei koe e mahi merekara ki nga tupapaku? E ara koia te hunga kua mate ki te whakamoemiti ki a koe? (Hera)
Whethir thou schalt do merueils to deed men; ether leechis schulen reise, and thei schulen knouleche to thee?
11 Ka kauwhautia ranei tou aroha i roto i te urupa? tou pono i roto i te ngaromanga?
Whether ony man in sepulcre schal telle thi merci; and thi treuthe in perdicioun?
12 E matauria koia au mea whakamiharo i roto i te pouri? tou tika i te whenua o te warewaretanga?
Whether thi merueilis schulen be knowun in derknessis; and thi riytfulnesse in the lond of foryetyng?
13 Ko ahau ia kua karanga ki a koe, e Ihowa: a i te ata ka tae atu taku inoi ki tou aroaro.
And, Lord, Y criede to thee; and erli my preier schal bifor come to thee.
14 He aha, e Ihowa, i panga ai toku wairua e koe? He aha i huna ai tou mata ki ahau?
Lord, whi puttist thou awei my preier; turnest awei thi face fro me?
15 No toku tamarikitanga ake ano i pakia ai ahau, i whakahemohemo ai: i ahau e pehia ana e au whakawehi, ka pororaru noa iho.
I am pore, and in traueils fro my yongthe; sotheli Y am enhaunsid, and Y am maad low, and disturblid.
16 I tika tou riri nui ma runga i ahau; kua haukotia ahau e au mea whakawehi.
Thi wraththis passiden on me; and thi dredis disturbliden me.
17 Ano he wai ratou ki te karapoti i ahau i te ra roa nei; hui tahi ratou ki te taiawhio i ahau.
Thei cumpassiden me as watir al dai; thei cumpassiden me togidere.
18 Kua wehea e koe kia tawhiti atu i ahau te hoa hei aroha mai, me oku hoa ki roto ki te pouri.
Thou madist fer fro me a frend and neiybore; and my knowun fro wretchidnesse.
