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 Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm.

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

Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath 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 kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of 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 to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.

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

Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,

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 voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah.

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

Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

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

Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,

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 Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
