Tā Rāwiri Waiata Whakawhetai

¹I kōrerotia e Rāwiri ki a Ihowā ngā kupu o tēnei waiata i te rā i whakaorangia ai ia e Ihowā i te ringa o ōna hoariri katoa, i te ringa anō o Haora.²I mea ia:“Ko Ihowā tōku teko, tōku pourewa,ko tōku kaiwhakaora hoki ia, āe rā, ko tōku;³ko te Atua tōku kāmaka,ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki a ia;ko tōku whakangungu rākau, ko te haona o tōku whakaoranga,ko tōku pā tiketike, ko tōku rerenga atu;e tōku kaiwhakaora, whakaorangia ana ahau e koe i te tutū.⁴Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowā e tika nei kia whakamoemititia;ā, ka whakaorangia ahau i ōku hoariri.

⁵“I karapotia ahau e ngā ngaru o te mate,i whakawehia ahau e ngā waipuke o te kino.⁶I rōritia ahau e ngā taura a te rēinga;pōtaea ana ahau e ngā māhanga a te mate.⁷I karanga ahau ki a Ihowā i tōku pāweratanga,āe rā, i karanga ahau ki tōku Atua.Ā, i whakarongo ia ki tōku reo i roto i tōna temepara,i tae hoki tāku hāmama ki ōna taringa.

⁸“Nā, ka ngāueue te whenua, ka rū;wiri ana ngā pūtake o ngā rangi,ngāueue ana, nō te mea e riri ana ia.⁹I kake he paowa i ōna pongaponga,ā, ka kai te kāpura o roto o tōna māngai;ngiha ana ngā waro.¹⁰I whakapīngoretia e ia ngā rangi, ā, ka heke iho;ā, i raro te pōuri kerekere i ōna waewae.¹¹Nā, ka eke ia ki te kerupa, ā, rere ana;inā, i kitea ia i runga i ngā parirau o te hau.¹²I meinga anō e ia te pōuri hei tēneti ā tawhio noa,ngā wai pōuri, ngā kapua mātotoru o te rangi.¹³Ngiha ana ngā waroi te wherikotanga o tōna aroaro.¹⁴Papā ana te whatitiri a Ihowā ngā rangi;puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa.¹⁵Kōkiritia mai ana e ia ngā pere, ā, marara ana rātou;he uira, ā, ka whati rātou.¹⁶Nā, ka kitea ngā takere o te moana,ka takoto kau ngā pūtake o te aoi te whakatūpehupehunga a Ihowā,i te whengunga o te manawa o ōna pongaponga.

¹⁷“I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau;kūmea ake ahau e ia i roto i ngā wai maha.¹⁸Nāna ahau i whakaora i tōku hoariri kaha,i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau;he kaha rawa hoki rātou i ahau.¹⁹Huakina tatatia ana ahau e rātou i te rā o tōku matenga;ko Ihowā ia tōku whakawhirinakitanga.²⁰Ā, whakaputaina ana ahau e ia ki te wāhi whānui;i whakaorangia ahau e ia, nō te mea i whakaahuareka ia ki ahau.

²¹“Rite tonu ki tāku mahi tika tā Ihowā utu ki ahau;rite tonu ki te mā o ōku ringa tāna i whakahoki mai ai ki ahau.²²I pupuri hoki ahau i ngā ara a Ihowā;ā, kīhai i hē, i whakarere i tōku Atua.²³Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau āna whakaritenga katoa;ā, ko āna tikanga, kīhai ērā i matara atu i ahau.²⁴I tū tika anō ahau ki tōna aroaro;i tiaki anō i ahau kei kino.²⁵Nō reira i hōmai ai e Ihowā he utu ki ahau, rite tonu ki tōku tika;rite tonu ki tōku mā ki tāna titiro.

²⁶“He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai anō koe;he tangata tika, ka tika anō koe.²⁷He tangata mā, ka mā anō koe;he tangata whakakeke, he whakakeke hoki tāu mahi.²⁸E whakaorangia hoki e koe te iwi e tūkinotia ana;kei runga ia ōu kanohi i te hunga whakakake,kia whakahokia iho rātou e koe ki raro.²⁹Ko koe hoki tōku rama, e Ihowā;mā Ihowā e whakamārama tōku pōuri.³⁰Nāu hoki ahau i rere ai ki runga ki te rōpū;nā tōku Atua ka peke ahau i te taiepa.

³¹“Tēnā ko te Atua, tika tonu tōna ara;he parakore te kupu a Ihowā;he whakangungu rākau iaki te hunga katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.³²Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kāhore a Ihowā?Ko wai hoki te kāmaka, ki te kāhore tō tātou Atua?³³Ko te Atua tōku pā kaha;ko ia hei ārahi i te hunga tika i tōna ara.³⁴Ko ia nei hei mea i ōku waewae kia rite ki ō te hāta;māna hoki ahau e whakatū ki runga ki ōku wāhi tiketike.³⁵Ko ia hei whakaako i ōku ringa ki te whawhai;hei mea i ōku ringa kia whakapiko i te kōpere parāhi.³⁶Kua hōmai hoki e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rākau o tāu whakaoranga;whakanuia ana ahau e tōu whakaaro māhaki.³⁷I whakanuia e koe ōku takahanga i raro i ahau,tē paheke ōku waewae.

³⁸“Kua arumia e ahau ōku hoariri, ā, hunā iho rātou e ahau;kīhai anō ahau i tahuri, ā, mōtī noa rātou.³⁹Mōtī iho rātou i ahau, mongamonga noa, tē āhei te whakatika;inā, hinga ana rātou ki raro i ōku waewae.⁴⁰Nāu hoki ahau i whītiki ki te kaha mō te whawhai;piko ana i a koe ki raro i ahau te hunga i whakatika mai ki ahau.⁴¹Kua meinga hoki e koe kia hurihia mai e ōku hoariri ō rātou tuarā ki ahau,kia hunā e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.⁴²I tirotiro rātou, heoi kāhore he kaiwhakaora;ki a Ihowā rawa, heoi kīhai ia i whakahoki kupu ki a rātou.⁴³Nā, tukia ana rātou e ahau, ā, rite noa ki te puehu o te whenua;mōhungahunga noa rātou i ahau, me te mea he paru nō ngā huarahi;ā, tītaritaria ana rātou e ahau.

⁴⁴“Nāu hoki ahau i ora ai i ngā ngangautanga a tōku iwi;nāu ahau i tiaki hei upoko mō ngā tauiwi;hei apa mōku te iwi kāhore nei i mātauria e ahau.⁴⁵Ka tuku mai ngā tāngata iwi kē ki raro i ahau;kia rongo kau te taringa, kakama tonu mai rātou ki ahau.⁴⁶Ka memeha haere ngā tāngata iwi kē;ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i ō rātou kuhunga.

⁴⁷“E ora ana a Ihowā, kia whakapaingia tōku kāmaka;kia whakanuia te Atua o te kāmaka o tōku whakaoranga.⁴⁸Arā te Atua e rapu nei i te utu mōku,e pēhi nei i te iwi ki raro i ahau,⁴⁹e whakaputa nei i ahau i roto i ōku hoariri.Āe rā, 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 tutū.⁵⁰Mō konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā,i roto i ngā tauiwi, ka hīmene ki tōu ingoa.⁵¹He pourewa whakaora ia ki tāna kīngi;e whakaputa aroha ana ki tāna tangata i whakawahi ai,ki a Rāwiri rātou ko ōna uri ake ake.”
