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 song in the day [that] the LORD had delivered 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 fortress, and my deliverer;
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.
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my preserver; thou savest me from violence.
4 Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowa e tika nei kia whakamoemititia: a ka whakaorangia ahau i oku hoariri.
I will call on the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 I karapotia ahau e nga ngaru o te mate, i whakawehia ahau e nga waipuke o te kino.
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly-men made me afraid;
The sorrows of hell encompassed me; the snares of death seized 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 distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry [entered] into 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.
Then the earth shook and trembled: the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 I kake he paowa i ona pongaponga, a ka kai te kapura o roto o tona mangai: ngiha ana nga waro.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 I whakapingoretia e ia nga rangi, a ka heke iho: a i raro te pouri kerekere i ona waewae.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness [was] under 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 rode upon a cherub, and flew: and he was seen 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.
And he made darkness pavilions around him, dark waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies.
13 Ngiha ana nga waro i te wherikotanga o tona aroaro.
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 Papa ana te whatitiri a Ihowa i nga rangi; puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 Kokiritia mai ana e ia nga pere, a marara ana ratou; he uira, a ka whati ratou.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited 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 channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid open, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
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 above, he took me; 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 delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that 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.
They fell upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my support.
20 A whakaputaina ana ahau e ia ki te wahi whanui: i whakaorangia ahau e ia, no te mea i whakaahuareka ia ki ahau.
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
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 rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 I pupuri hoki ahau i nga ara a Ihowa; a kihai i he, i whakarere i toku Atua.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from 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 [were] before me: and [as for] his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I tu tika ano ahau ki tona aroaro: i tiaki ano i ahau kei kino.
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my 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.
Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye-sight.
26 He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai ano koe; he tangata tika, ka tika ano koe.
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, [and] with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
27 He tangata ma, ka ma ano koe; he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tau mahi.
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
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 the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thy eyes [are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.
29 Ko koe hoki toku rama, e Ihowa: ma Ihowa e whakamarama toku pouri.
For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 Nau hoki ahau i rere ai ki runga ki te ropu: na toku Atua ka peke ahau i te taiepa.
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a 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.
[As for] God, his way [is] perfect; the word of the LORD [is] tried: he [is] a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kahore a Ihowa? Ko wai hoki te kamaka, ki te kahore to tatou Atua?
For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock, save our God?
33 Ko te Atua toku pa kaha: ko ia hei arahi i te hunga tika i tona ara.
God [is] my strength [and] power: and he maketh 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.
He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet]: and setteth me upon my high places.
35 Ko ia hei whakaako i oku ringa ki te whawhai; hei mea i oku ringa kia whakapiko i te kopere parahi.
He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 Kua homai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rakau o tau whakaoranga; whakanuia ana ahau e tou whakaaro mahaki.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 I whakanuia e koe oku takahanga i raro i ahau, te paheke oku waewae.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet have not slipped.
38 Kua arumia e ahau oku hoariri, a huna iho ratou e ahau: kihai ano ahau i tahuri, a moti noa ratou.
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 Moti iho ratou i ahau, mongamonga noa, te ahei te whakatika: ina, hinga ana ratou ki raro i oku waewae.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they have fallen 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.
For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued 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.
Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 I tirotiro ratou, heoi kahore he kaiwhakaora: ki a Ihowa rawa, heoi kihai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a ratou.
They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] to the LORD, but he answered them not.
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.
Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I stamped them as the mire of the street, [and] spread them abroad.
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.
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me [to be] head of the heathen: a people [which] I knew not 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.
Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
46 Ka memeha haere nga tangata iwi ke: ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i o ratou kuhunga.
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall tremble from their close places.
47 E ora ana a Ihowa, kia whakapaingia toku kamaka: kia whakanuia te Atua o te kamaka o toku whakaoranga:
The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 Ara te Atua e rapu nei i te utu moku, e pehi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,
It [is] God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people 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.
And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50 Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i roto i nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to thy 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.
[He is] the tower of salvation for his king: and [he] showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
