Waiata 95
1 Tena, kia waiata tatou ki a Ihowa: kia hari te hamama ki te kamaka o to tatou whakaoranga.
O come, let us sing to Jehovah. Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Kia haere tatou me te whakawhetai atu ki tona aroaro: kia ngahau hoki a tatou himene ki a ia.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let us make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
3 No te mea he Atua nui hoki a Ihowa, he Kingi nui i nga atua katoa.
For Jehovah is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 Kei tona ringa nga wahi hohonu o te whenua: a nana nga maunga teitei.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
5 Nana te moana, nana ano i hanga, a na ona ringa i whai ahua ai te whenua maroke.
The sea is his, and he made it. And his hands formed the dry land.
6 Haere mai tatou, kia koropiko, kia tuohu: kia tukua nga turi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Kaihanga.
O come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before Jehovah our maker.
7 Ko ia hoki to tatou Atua; ko tatou tana iwi e hepara ai, nga hipi a tona ringa. Ki te rongo koutou ki tona reo aianei.
For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, O that ye would hear his voice!
8 Kaua e whakapakeketia o koutou ngakau: kei pera me o te whakatoinga, me o te ra o te whakamatautauranga i te koraha;
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, as the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 I ahau i whakamatautauria e o koutou matua, i ata mohiotia, i to ratou kitenga ano hoki i aku mahi.
where your fathers challenged me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 E wha tekau nga tau i hoha ai ahau ki tenei whakatupuranga, na ka mea ahau; He iwi ngakau kotiti ke ratou, kahore hoki ratou e mohio ki aku ara.
Forty years long I was grieved with that generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.
11 Na reira i riri ai ahau, i oati ai hoki; e kore ratou e tae ki toku okiokinga.
Therefore I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
