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.
Ingoma. Ihubo lamadodana kaKhora. Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Itshuni ethi, Mahalathi leyanothi (Ukuhlupheka lokuchukuluzwa) Ihubo likaHemani umʼEzira. Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu ongisindisayo, ebusuku lemini ngikhala kuwe.
2 Kia tae atu taku inoi ki tou aroaro: whakatitahatia mai tou taringa ki taku tangi.
Akuthi umkhuleko wami ufinyelele kuwe; phendula indlebe yakho izwe ukukhala kwami.
Ngoba umphefumulo wami ugcwele inhlupheko lempilo yami isilengela engcwabeni. (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!
Ngibalwa ndawonye lalabo asebesiya egodini; senginjengendoda engelamandla.
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.
Sengahlukaniselwe kwabafileyo, lezidumbu ezilele engcwabeni, wena ongasabakhumbuliyo njalo, abangasekho kulabo obanakekelayo.
6 Kua whakatakotoria ahau e koe ki te rua i raro riro, ki te pouri, ki nga rire.
Usungifake egodini elitshona okudlulayo, ekujuleni okumnyama bhuqe.
7 E pehia ana ahau e tou riri, e pakia ana hoki e koe ki au ngaru katoa. (Hera)
Intukuthelo yakho iyangeleka; usungigalulisile ngawo wonke amagagasi akho.
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.
Usungithathele abangane bami abasekhwapheni wangenza ngaba lesidina kubo. Ngivalelwe kangiselantuba;
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.
amehlo ami asebona kalufifi ngenxa yosizi. Ngiyakubiza, Oh Thixo, insuku zonke; ngiphakamisela izandla zami kuwe.
10 Tera ranei koe e mahi merekara ki nga tupapaku? E ara koia te hunga kua mate ki te whakamoemiti ki a koe? (Hera)
Izimanga zakho uyazitshengisa kwabafileyo na? Kambe labo asebefile bangavuka bakudumise na?
11 Ka kauwhautia ranei tou aroha i roto i te urupa? tou pono i roto i te ngaromanga?
Uthando lwakho luyamenyezelwa engcwabeni yini, ukuthembeka kwakho endaweni yokuBhubha na?
12 E matauria koia au mea whakamiharo i roto i te pouri? tou tika i te whenua o te warewaretanga?
Izimanga zakho ziyaziwa yini endaweni yobumnyama, kumbe izenzo zakho zokulunga elizweni lokungabikho na?
13 Ko ahau ia kua karanga ki a koe, e Ihowa: a i te ata ka tae atu taku inoi ki tou aroaro.
Kodwa ngikhala kuwe ngoncedo, Oh Thixo; ekuseni umkhuleko wami uyafika kuwe.
14 He aha, e Ihowa, i panga ai toku wairua e koe? He aha i huna ai tou mata ki ahau?
Kungani, awu Thixo, ungifulathela ungifihlela ubuso bakho?
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.
Kusukela ebutsheni bami ngavele ngahlupheka ngaba seduze lokufa; ngiphethwe yikwesatshiswa nguwe, sengize ngidangele.
16 I tika tou riri nui ma runga i ahau; kua haukotia ahau e au mea whakawehi.
Intukuthelo yakho isingigabhele; ukwesaba wena sekungiqedile.
17 Ano he wai ratou ki te karapoti i ahau i te ra roa nei; hui tahi ratou ki te taiawhio i ahau.
Ilanga lonke kungihanqile njengesikhukhula; sekungigalulisa nya.
18 Kua wehea e koe kia tawhiti atu i ahau te hoa hei aroha mai, me oku hoa ki roto ki te pouri.
Usungithathele abakhula bami lengibathandayo; ubumnyama sebunguyena mngane wami oseduze.
