2 Hamuera 22
1 I korerotia e Rawiri ki a Ihowa nga kupu o tenei waiata i te ra i whakaorangia ai ia e Ihowa i te ringa o ona hoariri katoa, i te ringa ano o Haora:
And David spoke to the Lord the words of this verse, in the day that the Lord freed him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 I mea ia, Ko Ihowa toku teko, toku pourewa, ko toku kaiwhakaora hoki ia, ae ra ko toku;
And he said: “The Lord is my rock, and my strength, and my Savior.
3 Ko te Atua toku kamaka, ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia; ko toku whakangungu rakau, ko te haona o toku whakaoranga, ko toku pa tiketike, ko toku rerenga atu; e toku kaiwhakaora, whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tutu.
I will hope in him. God is my strong one, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. He lifts me up, and he is my refreshment. You, O my Savior, will free me from iniquity.
4 Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowa e tika nei kia whakamoemititia: a ka whakaorangia ahau i oku hoariri.
I will call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy; and I will be saved from my enemies.
5 I karapotia ahau e nga ngaru o te mate, i whakawehia ahau e nga waipuke o te kino.
For the pangs of death have encircled me. The torrents of Belial have terrified me.
The ropes of Hell have encompassed me. The snares of death have intercepted me. (Sheol h7585)
7 I karanga ahau ki a Ihowa i toku paweratanga, ae ra, i karanga ahau ki toku Atua: a i whakarongo ia ki toku reo i roto i tona temepara, i tae hoki taku hamama ki ona taringa.
In my tribulation, I will call upon the Lord, and I will cry out to my God. And he will heed my voice from his temple, and my outcry will reach his ears.
8 Na ka ngaueue te whenua, ka ru; wiri ana nga putake o nga rangi, ngaueue ana, no te mea e riri ana ia.
The earth was shaken, and it quaked. The foundations of the mountains were struck together and violently shaken, because he was angry with them.
9 I kake he paowa i ona pongaponga, a ka kai te kapura o roto o tona mangai: ngiha ana nga waro.
Smoke ascends from his nostrils, and fire from his mouth will devour; coals have been kindled by it.
10 I whakapingoretia e ia nga rangi, a ka heke iho: a i raro te pouri kerekere i ona waewae.
He bent down the heavens, and it descended; and a fog was beneath his feet.
11 Na ka eke ia ki te kerupa, a rere ana: ina, i kitea ia i runga i nga parirau o te hau.
And he climbed upon the cherubim, and he flew; and he slid upon the wings of the wind.
12 I meinga ano e ia te pouri hei teneti a tawhio noa, nga wai pouri, nga kapua matotoru o te rangi.
He set darkness as a hiding place around himself, with waters sifted from the clouds of the heavens.
13 Ngiha ana nga waro i te wherikotanga o tona aroaro.
By means of the brightness of his glance, coals of fire were kindled.
14 Papa ana te whatitiri a Ihowa i nga rangi; puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.
The Lord will thunder from heaven; and the Most High will utter his voice.
15 Kokiritia mai ana e ia nga pere, a marara ana ratou; he uira, a ka whati ratou.
He shot arrows, and he scattered them; lightning, and he consumed them.
16 Na ka kitea nga takere o te moana, ka takoto kau nga putake o te ao i te whakatupehupehunga a Ihowa, i te whenunga o te manawa o ona pongaponga.
And the overflow of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the globe were revealed, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the exhale of the breath of his fury.
17 I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau; kumea ake ahau e ia i roto i nga wai maha.
He sent from on high, and he took me up. And he drew me out of many waters.
18 Nana ahau i whakaora i toku hoariri kaha, i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.
He freed me from my most powerful enemy and from those who had hated me. For they were too strong for me.
19 Huakina tatatia ana ahau e ratou i te ra o toku matenga: ko Ihowa ia toku whakawhirinakitanga.
He went before me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my firmament.
20 A whakaputaina ana ahau e ia ki te wahi whanui: i whakaorangia ahau e ia, no te mea i whakaahuareka ia ki ahau.
And he led me out to a wide-open place. He freed me, because I was pleasing to him.
21 Rite tonu ki taku mahi tika ta Ihowa utu ki ahau; rite tonu ki te ma o oku ringa tana i whakahoki mai ai ki ahau.
The Lord will reward me according to my justice. And he will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22 I pupuri hoki ahau i nga ara a Ihowa; a kihai i he, i whakarere i toku Atua.
For I have kept to the ways of the Lord, and I have not acted impiously before my God.
23 Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau ana whakaritenga katoa; a, ko ana tikanga, kihai era i matara atu i ahau.
For all his judgments are in my sight. And I have not removed his precepts from me.
24 I tu tika ano ahau ki tona aroaro: i tiaki ano i ahau kei kino.
And I shall be perfect with him. And I shall guard myself from my own iniquity.
25 No reira i homai ai e Ihowa he utu ki ahau, rite tonu ki toku tika; rite tonu ki toku ma ki tana titiro.
And the Lord will recompense me according to my justice, and according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes.
26 He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai ano koe; he tangata tika, ka tika ano koe.
With the holy one, you will be holy, and with the strong one, you will be perfect.
27 He tangata ma, ka ma ano koe; he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tau mahi.
With the elect one, you will be elect, and with the perverse one, you will be perverse.
28 E whakaorangia hoki e koe te iwi e tukinotia ana: kei runga ia ou kanohi i te hunga whakakake, kia whakahokia iho ratou e koe ki raro.
And you will bring to salvation the poor people, and you will humble the exalted with your eyes.
29 Ko koe hoki toku rama, e Ihowa: ma Ihowa e whakamarama toku pouri.
For you are my lamp, O Lord. And you, O Lord, will illuminate my darkness.
30 Nau hoki ahau i rere ai ki runga ki te ropu: na toku Atua ka peke ahau i te taiepa.
For in you, I will run girded. In my God, I will leap over the wall.
31 Tena ko te Atua, tika tonu tona ara; he parakore te kupu a Ihowa; he whakangungu rakau ia ki te hunga katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
God, his way is immaculate; the eloquence of the Lord is an exacting fire. He is the shield of all who hope in him.
32 Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kahore a Ihowa? Ko wai hoki te kamaka, ki te kahore to tatou Atua?
Who is God except the Lord? And who is strong except our God?
33 Ko te Atua toku pa kaha: ko ia hei arahi i te hunga tika i tona ara.
God, he has girded me with fortitude, and he has made my way perfect:
34 Ko ia nei hei mea i oku waewae kia rite ki o te hata: mana hoki ahau e whakatu ki runga ki oku wahi tiketike.
making my feet like the feet of the stag, and stationing me upon my exalted places,
35 Ko ia hei whakaako i oku ringa ki te whawhai; hei mea i oku ringa kia whakapiko i te kopere parahi.
teaching my hands to do battle, and making my arms like a bow of brass.
36 Kua homai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rakau o tau whakaoranga; whakanuia ana ahau e tou whakaaro mahaki.
You have given me the shield of your salvation. And your mildness has multiplied me.
37 I whakanuia e koe oku takahanga i raro i ahau, te paheke oku waewae.
You will enlarge my steps under me, and my ankles will not fail.
38 Kua arumia e ahau oku hoariri, a huna iho ratou e ahau: kihai ano ahau i tahuri, a moti noa ratou.
I will pursue my enemies, and crush them. And I will not turn back, until I consume them.
39 Moti iho ratou i ahau, mongamonga noa, te ahei te whakatika: ina, hinga ana ratou ki raro i oku waewae.
I will consume them and break them apart, so that they cannot rise up; they will fall under my feet.
40 Nau hoki ahau i whitiki ki te kaha mo te whawhai: piko ana i a koe ki raro i ahau te hunga i whakatika mai ki ahau.
You have girded me with strength for the battle. Those who resisted me, you have bent down under me.
41 Kua meinga hoki e koe kia hurihia mai e oku hoariri o ratou tuara ki ahau, kia huna e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.
You have caused my enemies to turn their back to me; they have hatred for me, and I shall destroy them.
42 I tirotiro ratou, heoi kahore he kaiwhakaora: ki a Ihowa rawa, heoi kihai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a ratou.
They will cry out, and there will be no one to save; to the Lord, and he will not heed them.
43 Na tukia ana ratou e ahau, a rite noa ki te puehu o te whenua: mohungahunga noa ratou i ahau, me te mea he paru no nga huarahi; a titaritaria ana ratou e ahau.
I will wipe them away like the dust of the earth. I will break them apart and crush them, like the mud of the streets.
44 Nau hoki ahau i ora ai i nga ngangautanga a toku iwi; nau ahau i tiaki hei upoko mo nga tauiwi: hei apa moku te iwi kahore nei i matauria e ahau.
You will save me from the contradictions of my people. You will preserve me to be the head of the Gentiles; a people I do not know shall serve me.
45 Ka tuku mai nga tangata iwi ke ki raro i ahau: kia rongo kau te taringa, kakama tonu mai ratou ki ahau.
The sons of foreigners, who will resist me, at the hearing of the ear they will be obedient to me.
46 Ka memeha haere nga tangata iwi ke: ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i o ratou kuhunga.
The foreigners flowed away, but they will be drawn together in their anguishes.
47 E ora ana a Ihowa, kia whakapaingia toku kamaka: kia whakanuia te Atua o te kamaka o toku whakaoranga:
The Lord lives, and my God is blessed. And the strong God of my salvation shall be exalted.
48 Ara te Atua e rapu nei i te utu moku, e pehi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,
God gives me vindication, and he casts down the peoples under me.
49 E whakaputa nei i ahau i roto i oku hoariri: ae ra, e mea ana koe i ahau kia teitei ake i te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau: whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tangata tutu.
He leads me away from my enemies, and he lifts me up from those who resist me. You will free me from the iniquitous man.
50 Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.
Because of this, I will confess to you, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and I will sing to your name:
51 He pourewa whakaora ia ki tana kingi; e whakaputa aroha ana ki tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ki a Rawiri ratou ko ona uri ake ake.
magnifying the salvation of his king, and showing mercy to David, his Christ, and to his offspring forever.”
