< Waiata 96 >

1 Waiatatia he waiata hou ki a Ihowa: waiata, e te whenua katoa, ki a Ihowa.
Sing to YHWH a new song. Sing to YHWH, all the earth.
2 Waiata ki a Ihowa, whakapaingia tona ingoa: whakakitea tana whakaoranga i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
Sing to YHWH. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.
3 Whakapuakina tona kororia i waenganui i nga tauiwi, ana mahi whakamiharo i waenganui i nga iwi katoa.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.
4 He nui hoki a Ihowa, he tika ano kia nui te whakamoemiti ki a ia: kia wehingia nuitia ai i nga atua katoa.
For great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
5 He whakapakoko hoki nga atua katoa o nga iwi: na Ihowa ia i hanga nga rangi.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but YHWH made the heavens.
6 He honore, he kororia kei tona aroaro: kei tona wahi tapu te kaha me te ataahua.
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Waiho atu i a Ihowa, e nga hapu katoa o nga iwi: waiho atu i a Ihowa te kororia me te kaha.
Ascribe to YHWH, you families of nations, ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.
8 Waiho atu i a Ihowa te kororia e tika ana mo tona ingoa: maua mai he whakahere, haere mai hoki ki ona marae.
Ascribe to YHWH the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Koropiko ki a Ihowa i roto i te ataahua o te tapu: kia wehi ra ki tona aroaro, e te whenua katoa.
Worship YHWH in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Mea atu i waenganui o nga tauiwi, E kingi ana a Ihowa: ka u te whenua, te taea te whakangaueue; ka tika ana whakawa mo nga iwi.
Say among the nations, "YHWH reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Kia hari nga rangi, kia koa te whenua, kia haruru te moana, me nga mea e hua ana i roto.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness.
12 Kia hari te mara, me nga mea katoa i runga: ko reira ano koa ai nga rakau katoa o te ngahere;
Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
13 Ki te aroaro o Ihowa, e haere mai ana hoki ia; e haere mai ana 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 tona pono.
before YHWH; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
