| Chapter 55 |
1 |
¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He Makiri, na Rawiri. E te Atua, tahuri mai tou taringa ki taku inoi: kei whakangaro atu koe, ina tangi ahau.
|
2 |
Anga mai ki ahau, whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau: pokaikaha noa iho ahau i ahau e tangi nei, e hamama nei;
|
3 |
I te reo hoki o te hoariri, i te tukino a te tangata kino: no te mea e utaina ana e ratou he hara ki runga ki ahau, a e kino ana ki ahau, e riri ana.
|
4 |
Mamae pu toku ngakau i roto i ahau: kua taka ki runga ki ahau nga wehi whakamate.
|
5 |
Kua pa ki ahau te wehi me te wiri: a pokia iho ahau e te whakamataku.
|
6 |
Na ko taku meatanga, Aue, te whai pakau ahau me he kukupa; penei ka rere atu ahau, a ka whai okiokinga.
|
7 |
Katahi ahau ka rere ki tawhiti; a noho rawa atu i te koraha. (Hera.
|
8 |
Ka hohoro toku rere atu i te hau, i te awha.
|
9 |
¶ Whakangaromia, e te Ariki, wehia o ratou arero; kua kitea hoki e ahau te tukino me te tutu o roto o te pa.
|
10 |
Haereere ana ratou i te ao, i te po, i runga i ona taiepa, a tawhio noa: he kino kei roto, he hianga.
|
11 |
He hara kei waenganui ona: kahore ona ara e mahue i te tinihanga, i te hianga.
|
12 |
Ehara hoki i te hoariri nana ahau i tawai; penei e taea e ahau te whakaririka: ehara hoki i te hoa whawhai noku i whakakake ki ahau; penei kua piri ahau, kei kitea e ia.
|
13 |
Nau ia, na te tangata i rite ki ahau, na toku takahoa, na taku i mohio ai.
|
14 |
Ahuareka tonu ta taua korerorero; haere tahi ana hoki taua i roto i te ropu ki te whare o te Atua.
|
15 |
Kia mau ohorere ratou i te mate, kia heke ora ki te reinga: he hara hoki kei o ratou nohoanga, kei waenganui i a ratou.
|
16 |
¶ Ko ahau, ka karanga ahau ki te Atua: a ma Ihowa ahau e whakaora.
|
17 |
I te ahiahi, i te ata, i te poutumarotanga, ka inoi ahau, ka tangi: a ka whakarongo ia ki toku reo.
|
18 |
Whakaorangia ana e ia toku wairua i runga i te rangimarie i ahau e whakaekea ana: he tokomaha hoki oku hoa whawhai.
|
19 |
Ka whakarongo te Atua, no tua iho nei tona nohoanga, a ka whakahoki i ta ratou. (Hera.) Ko te hunga kahore o ratou whakawhitiwhitinga, a kahore o ratou wehi ki te Atua.
|
20 |
Kua totoro ona ringa ki te hunga kua mau nei ta ratou rongo ki a ia; kua whakataka e ia tana kawenata.
|
21 |
Maeneene atu tona mangai i te pata, he whawhai ia kei roto i tona ngakau: ngawari atu ana kupu i te hinu, kahore, he hoari kua oti te unu.
|
22 |
Maka ki runga ki a Ihowa tau pikaunga, a mana koe e whakau ake: e kore e tukua e ia te hunga tika kia whakangaueuetia ake ake.
|
23 |
Mau ia ratou e mea, e te Atua, kia heke ki te poka o te pirau: e kore nga tangata toto, nga tangata hianga e tutuki ki te hawhe o o ratou ra; ko ahau ia, ka whakawhirinaki ki a koe.
