Waiata 98

1 He himene. Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou; he mahi whakamiharo hoki ana: na tona ringa matau, na tona ringa tapu, i taea ai e ia te whakaora.

A Melody. Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and his holy arm, have brought him salvation.

2 Kua whakakitea e Ihowa tana whakaoranga, kua whakapuakina e ia tona tika ki te aroaro o nga tauiwi.

Yahweh, hath made known, his salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, hath he revealed his righteousness;

3 Kua mahara ia ki tana mahi tohu, ki tona pono ki te whare o Iharaira; a kua kite nga pito katoa o te whenua i te whakaoranga a to tatou Atua.

He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness towards the house of Israel, —All the ends of the earth, have seen, the salvation of our God.

4 Kia hari te hamama, e te whenua katoa, ki a Ihowa: hamama, kia hari, ae ra, himene atu.

Shout aloud to Yahweh, all the earth, Break forth and make a joyful noise and sweep the strings;

5 Himene ki a Ihowa i runga i te hapa; i runga i te hapa, me te himene ano te reo.

Sweep the strings to Yahweh, With the lyre, With the lyre, and the voice of melody;

6 I runga i te tetere, i te tangi ano o te koronete: kia hari te hamama ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Kingi.

With trumpets and the sound of a horn, Shout aloud, before the king—Yahweh.

7 Kia haruru te moana me nga mea e hua ana i roto, te ao me ona tangata e noho ana i runga.

Let the sea, roar, and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

8 Kia papaki nga ringa o nga roma, kia hari tahi nga pukepuke.

Let, the floods, clap their hands, Together, let, the mountains, make a joyful noise,

9 Ki te aroaro o Ihowa: e haere mai ana hoki ia ki te whakawa mo te whenua: ka whakawa ia mo te ao i runga i te tika, mo nga iwi hoki i runga i te pono.

Before Yahweh, for he is coming—to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, with equity.
