| Chapter 109 |
1 | ¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. E te Atua, e whakamoemiti nei ahau, kei wahangu koe: |
2 | Kua puaki hoki te mangai o te tangata kino me te mangai o te tangata tinihanga, ki te he moku: he teka o ratou arero, e korero nei moku. |
3 | I karapotia hoki ahau e ratou ki nga kupu mauahara, a i whawhai takekore ki ahau. |
4 | Mo toku aroha he riri ta ratou whakautu: ko ahau ia, he inoi taku. |
5 | E homai ana e ratou ki ahau he kino mo te pai, he mauahara mo toku aroha. |
6 | ¶ Meinga he tangata kino hei rangatira mona; kia tu he hoariri ki tona ringa matau. |
7 | Kia tau te he ki a ia, ina whakawakia: kia waiho ano tana inoi hei hara. |
8 | Kia torutoru ona ra; kia riro tana mahi tirotiro i tetahi atu. |
9 | Kia pania ana tamariki, kia pouarutia hoki tana wahine. |
10 | Kia kopikopiko noa ana tamariki, pinono ai: kia rapu kai hoki ma ratou i o ratou wahi mokemoke. |
11 | Kia haoa e te kaituku moni ana mea katoa; kia pahuatia hoki e nga tangata iwi ke ana mauiuitanga. |
12 | Kaua tetahi hei hoatu noa i te aroha ki a ia: kaua hoki tetahi hei atawhai i ana pani. |
13 | Kia hatepea putia ona uri: a i to muri whakatupuranga kia horoia rawatia atu o ratou ingoa. |
14 | Kia maharatia e Ihowa te kino o ona matua: kei murua hoki te hara o tona whaea. |
15 | Kia mau tonu ki te aroaro o Ihowa: kia hatepea atu ai e ia te maharatanga ki a ratou i runga i te whenua. |
16 | Mona kihai i mahara ki te mahi tohu: heoi tukino ana ia i te ware, i te rawakore, i te hunga ngakau maru, kia patua ai ratou. |
17 | Ae ra, i pai ia ki te kanga, a kua tae mai ki a ia: kihai ia i aro ki te manaaki, heoi kua mamao tera i a ia. |
18 | I kakahu ia i te kanga ki a ia, ano ko tona kakahu: na kua tae tera ki roto ki a ia ano he wai, me he hinu hoki ki roto ki ona wheua. |
19 | Waiho ki a ia hei kakahu hipoki mona, hei whitiki hoki e whitikiria tonutia ai ia. |
20 | Na hei utu tena ma Ihowa ki oku hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e korero kino nei ki toku wairua. |
21 | ¶ Kia puta tau mahi moku, e te Atua, e te Ariki, he whakaaro ki tou ingoa: na te mea he pai tau mahi tohu, whakaorangia ahau, |
22 | He ware hoki ahau, he rawakore, kua mamae hoki toku ngakau i roto i ahau. |
23 | Ka riro ahau me te atarangi e whakawairua kau ana: e peipeia ana ahau me he mawhitiwhiti. |
24 | Hurorirori kau oku turi i te nohopuku; a e kohia ana te ngako o oku kikokiko. |
25 | Kua waiho ahau hei tawainga ma ratou: ka kite ratou i ahau, ka ruru o ratou matenga. |
26 | Awhinatia ahau, e Ihowa, e toku Atua: kia rite ki tou aroha tau whakaora i ahau. |
27 | Kia matau ai ratou ko tou ringa itene: a nau tenei, e Ihowa, i mea. |
28 | Ma ratou e kanga, mau ia e manaaki: kia whakama ratou ina whakatika; ko tau pononga ia kia hari. |
29 | Kia whakakakahuria oku hoariri ki te whakama, a ko to ratou numinumi hei koroka hipoki mo ratou. |
30 | Ka tino whakawhetai toku mangai ki a Ihowa, ae ra, ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a ia i waenganui o te mano. |
31 | E tu hoki ia ki te ringa matau o te rawakore, hei whakaora i a ia i te hunga e whakahe ana i tona wairua. |
