Waiata 91

1 Ko te tangata kei te wahi ngaro o te Runga Rawa tona kainga, ka noho ia i raro i te taumarumarutanga o te Kaha Rawa.

Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu lilo ʻi he fungani māʻolunga, ʻe nofomaʻu ia he malumalu ʻoe Māfimafi.

2 Ka kiia e ahau a Ihowa, Ko ia toku piringa, toku pa, toku Atua, ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia.

Te u pehē, “Ko Sihova, ko hoku hūfanga ia mo ʻeku kolo: ko hoku ʻOtua te u falala kiate ia.”

3 Mana hoki koe e whakaora i te mahanga a te kaihopu manu, i te mate nanakia.

Ko e moʻoni te ne fakamoʻui koe mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele, pea mei he mahaki fakaʻauha.

4 Ka hipokina koe e ia ki ona hou, a ka piri koe ki raro i ona pakau: ko tona pono hei whakangungu rakau, hei puapua mou.

Te ne ʻōʻōfaki koe ʻaki hono fulufulu, pea te ke falala ki hono lalo kapakau: ko ʻene moʻoni ko ho fakaū mo ho pā ia.

5 E kore koe e wehi i te mea whakamataku i te po: i te pere e rere ana i te awatea.

‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koeʻuhi ko e meʻa fakailifia ʻi he pō; pe koeʻuhi ko e ngahau ʻoku puna atu ʻi he ʻaho;

6 I te mate uruta e rere ana i te pouri: i te whakangaromanga e whakangaro ana i te poutumarotanga.

Pe koeʻuhi ko e mahaki lahi ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli; pe koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha ʻoku fakaʻosiʻosi ʻi he hoʻatā.

7 He mano te hinga ki tou taha, tekau hoki nga mano ki tou matau; otiia e kore e tata ki a koe.

‌ʻE tō ʻae toko afe ʻi ho tafaʻaki, pea ko e toko mano ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ka ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ʻo ofi kiate koe.

8 Ka titiro kau ou kanohi, ka matakitaki ki te utu mo te hunga kino.

Ka te ke vakai ʻo mamata ʻaki ho mata ki he totongi ʻoe angahala.

9 Ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, toku piranga! kua waiho e koe te Runga Rawa hei nohoanga mou:

Koeʻuhi kuo ke fili ʻa Sihova ʻaia ko hoku hūfanga, ʻio, ko e fungani māʻolunga ko ho nofoʻanga:

10 Kahore he kino e pa ki a koe, kahore ano he whiu e tata ki tou teneti.

‌ʻE ʻikai tō ha kovi kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ha mamahi fakaʻauha ke ofi ki ho nofoʻanga.

11 Ka korerotia iho hoki koe e ia ki ana anahera kia tiakina koe i ou ara katoa.

He te ne fekau ʻene kau ʻāngelo kenau vakai koe, ke tauhi koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē.

12 Ma ratou koe e hiki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.

Tenau hapai hake koe ʻi he nima, telia naʻa tūkia ho vaʻe ki ha maka.

13 Ka haere koe i runga i te raiona, i te neke: ka takahia e koe ki raro te kuao raiona me te nakahi.

Te ke molomoloki ʻae laione mo e ngata: ko e laione mui mo e talākoni te ke malaki hifo ia.

14 Ka whakaora ahau i a ia, mona i aroha ki ahau; maku ia e whakateitei ake, mona i matau ki toku ingoa.

“Koeʻuhi kuo ne tuku ʻene ʻofa kiate au, ko ia te u fakamoʻui ia: te u fokotuʻu ia ke māʻolunga, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻiloʻi hoku huafa.

15 Ka karanga ia ki ahau, a ka whakahoki kupu ahau ki a ia: ka tata ahau ki a ia i te wa o te he; maku ia e whakaora, maku ano ia e whakahonore.

Te ne ui kiate au, pea te u talia ia: te u ʻiate ia ʻi he mamahi; te u fakamoʻui ia, pea hakeakiʻi ia.

16 Ka whakaroaina e ahau ona ra, a na noa ia: ka whakakitea hoki taku whakaoranga ki a ia.

Te u fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ia ʻae moʻui fuoloa, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻeku fakamoʻui.”
