Psalm 35

1Na Rawiri. E ngana, e Ihowa, ki te hunga e tohe ana ki ahau: whawhaitia te hunga e whawhai nei ki ahau. 2Kia mau ki te whakangungu rakau, ki te puapua; whakatika hei awhina moku 3Unuhia te tao, araia te ara o te hunga e whai nei i ahau: ki mai ki toku wairua, Ko ahau tou whakaoranga. 4Kia whakama, kia numinumi te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ahau: kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakapoauautia te hunga e whakatakoto ana i te kino moku. 5Kia rite ratou ki te papapa e puhia ana e te hau; kia aia haeretia e te anahera a Ihowa. 6Kia pouri to ratou ara, kia pahekeheke: kia whaia ratou e te anahera a Ihowa. 7Kahore hoki he rawa i huna ai e ratou te poka o ta ratou kupenga moku; he mea keri takekore kia mate ai ahau. 8Kia rokohanga poauautia ia e te ngaromanga; kia mau ano ko ia i tana kupenga i huna ai: kia taka ia ki taua tino ngaromanga. 9A ka koa toku wairua ki a Ihowa, ka hari ki tana whakaoranga. 10Ka ki katoa oku wheua, E Ihowa, ko wai te rite mou, mo te kaiwhakaora o te iti i te tangata e kaha ake ana i a ia, ae o te iti, o te rawakore i tona kaipahua? 11Whakatika ana nga kaiwhakapae teka: whakawakia ana ahau mo nga mea kihai nei ahau i matau atu. 12Utua ana e ratou taku pai ki te kino, a whakatupu pani ana toku wairua. 13Tena ko ahau, i a ratou e mate ana, he kahu taratara toku, waikauwere ana toku wairua, kihai i kai: a hoki mai ana taku inoi ki toku uma. 14Ko toku ahua me te mea he hoa ia, he teina noku: kupapa noa iho ahau, ano he tangata e tangi ana ki tona whaea. 15I toku paheketanga ia koa ana ratou, huihui ana; huihui ana nga tangata kino noa iho hei hoariri moku, kihai ano ahau i mohio; haehae ana ratou i ahau, kihai hoki i mutu. 16Rite tonu ki nga kaiwhakakata o nga hakari, tetea ana o ratou niho ki ahau. 17E te Ariki, kia pehea te roa o tau titiro kau mai? Whakaorangia toku wairua i a ratou whakangaromanga, taku e aroha nei, i nga raiona. 18Ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe i roto i te whakaminenga nui, ka whakamoemiti ki a koe i roto i te iwi maha. 19Kei hari pokanoa ki ahau oku hoariri; kei whakakini te kanohi o te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau. 20Ehara hoki ta ratou i te korero mo te rangimarie; heoi kei te whakatakoto kupu tinihanga ratou mo te hunga ata noho o te whenua. 21Ina, hamama ana o ratou mangai ki ahau, e ki ana, Ha, ha, kua kite to matou kanohi. 22Kua kite koe, e Ihowa: kaua ra e wahangu; e te Ariki, kei matara i ahau. 23Oho ake, e ara ki te whakarite i toku whakawa, ki taku tautohe, e toku Atua, e toku Ariki. 24Kia rite ki tou tika te whakarite moku, e Ihowa, e toku Atua: kei koa ano ratou ki ahau. 25Kei mea ratou i roto i o ratou ngakau, Ha, ko ta matou tena i pai ai: kei mea ratou, Kua horomia ia e tatou. 26Kia whakama, kia numinumi ngatahi, te hunga e koa ana ina he ahau: kia whakakakahuria ki te whakama, ki te numinumi, te hunga e whakakake ana ki ahau. 27Kia hamama i te hari, kia koa te hunga e pai ana ki taku mahi tika: ae, kia mea tonu, kia whakanuia a Ihowa e whakapai nei ki te ora o tana pononga. 28A ka korerotia e toku arero tau mahi tika, me te whakamoemiti ki a koe i te ra roa.
