Tā Rāwiri Waiata Manahau
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā te pononga a Ihowā nā Rāwiri. Nāna i whakahua ngā kupu o tēnei waiata ki a Ihowā i te rā i whakaorangia ai ia i te ringa o ōna hoariri katoa, i te ringa anō o Haora. I mea ia:
1Ka aroha ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā,e tōku kaha.2Ko Ihowā tōku kāmaka, tōku pā, tōku kaiwhakaora;tōku Atua, tōku tino kāmaka, e whakawhirinaki ai ahau;tōku whakangungu rākau, te haona o tōku whakaoranga, tōku pourewa tiketike.3Ka karanga ahau ki a Ihowā, e tika nei kia whakamoemititia;ā, ka ora i ōku hoariri.4I karapotia ahau e ngā whakawiringa a te mate,ā, whakawehia ana ahau e ngā waipuke o te kino.5I karapotia ahau e ngā whakawiringa a te rēinga,i haukotia e ngā māhanga a te mate.6I karanga ahau ki a Ihowā i tōku pāweratanga;i hāmama ki tōku Atua.I whakarongo ia ki tōku reo i roto i tōna temepara,i tae anō tāku hāmama ki tōna aroaro, ki ōna taringa.7Nā, ka ngāueue te whenua, ka rū,wiri ana ngā pūtake o ngā maunga,ngāueue ana i tōna riri.8I kake he paowa i ōna pongaponga,ā, kai ana te kāpura a tōna māngai,ngiha ana ngā waro.9I whakapīngoretia e ia ngā rangi, ā, heke iho ana,ā, i raro te pōuri mātotoru i ōna waewae.10I eke ia ki runga ki te kerupa, ā, rere ana;āe, i rere omaki ia i runga i ngā parirau o te hau.11I meinga e ia te pōuri hei wāhi ngaro mōna,hei tēneti i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha;ko te pōuritanga o ngā wai, ko ngā kapua mātotoru o te rangi.12I rere atu ōna kapua mātotorui te wherikotanga o tōna aroaro;te whatu, me ngā waro kāpura.13I papā anō te whatitiri a Ihowā i ngā rangi,ā, puaki ana te reo o te Runga Rawa;he whatu, he waro kāpura.14I kōkiritia e ia āna pere, ā, marara ana rātou;āe, i kōperea hoki e ia te tini uira,ā, whati ana rātou.15Kātahi ka kitea ngā takere o ngā wai,ā, ka takoto kau ngā pūtake o te aoi tāu whakatūpehupehutanga, e Ihowā,i te whengunga o te manawa o ōu pongaponga.16I tono karere mai ia i runga, ka mau ki ahau;tōia ake ahau e ia i roto i ngā wai maha.17Nāna ahau i ora ai i tōku hoariri kaha,i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau;he kaha rawa hoki rātou i ahau.18I huakina tatatia ahau e rātou i te rā o tōku matenga;ko Ihowā ia tōku whakawhirinakitanga.19I whakaputaina ahau e ia ki te wāhi nui,i whakaorangia ahau e ia; he āhuareka nōna ki ahau.20Rite tonu ki tāku mahi tika tā Ihowā utu ki ahau;rite tonu ki te mā o ōku ringa tāna i whakahoki ai ki ahau.21Mōku i pupuri i ngā ara o Ihowā,ā, kīhai i hē, i whakarere i tōku Atua.22Kei mua tonu hoki i ahau āna whakaritenga katoa,kīhai anō i whakamataratia atu i ahau āna tikanga.23Tapatahi tonu hoki tōku whakaaro ki tōna aroaro,ā, i tiaki ahau i ahau kei kino.24Nā, ka hōmai e Ihowā he utu ki ahau,rite tonu ki tōku tika,ki te mā o ōku ringa i tōna aroaro.25He tangata atawhai, ka atawhai hoki koe;he tangata tika, ka tika hoki koe.26He tangata mā, ka mā hoki koe;he tangata whakakeke, ka whakakeke hoki koe.27E whakaorangia hoki e koe te iwi ngākau mamae;ka whakahokia anō e koe ki raro ngā kanohi whakakake.28Māu hoki e whakaū tāku rama;mā Ihowā, mā tōku Atua, e whakamārama tōku pōuri.29Nāu hoki ahau i rere ai nā waenganui atu i te rōpū;nā tōku Atua hoki i pekea ai e ahau te taiepa.30Tēnā ko te Atua, tika tonu tōna ara;kua oti tāna kupu te whakamātau;he whakangungu rākau iaki te hunga katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.31Ko wai oti te Atua, ki te kāhore a Ihowā?Ko wai hoki he kāmaka, ki te kāhore tō tātou Atua?32Ko te Atua, nāna ahau i whītiki ki te kaha,i mea kia tino tika tōku ara.33Ko ia hei mea i ōku waewae kia rite ki ō te hāta;māna hoki ahau e whakatū ki runga ki ōku wāhi tiketike.34Ko ia hei whakaako i ōku ringa ki te whawhai,ā, whati ana te kōpere parāhi i ōku ringa.35Kua hōmai anō e koe ki ahau te whakangungu rākau o tāu whakaoranga;puritia ana ahau e tōu ringa matau,whakanuia ana e tōu whakaaro māhaki.36I whakanuia e koe ōku takahanga i raro i ahau;tē paheke ōku waewae.37Ka arumia e ahau ōku hoariri, mau iho i ahau;e kore ahau e tahuri mai, ā ngaro noa rātou.38Marū ana rātou i ahau, tē kaha te whakatika;hinga ana ki raro i ōku waewae.39Nāu hoki ahau i whītiki ki te kaha mō te whawhai;piko ana i a koe ki raro i ahau te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau.40Kua meinga e koe kia tahuri mai ngā tuarā o ōku hoariri ki ahau,kia hautopea ai e ahau te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.41I karanga rātou, heoi kāhore he kaiwhakaora;ki a Ihowā, otirā kīhai i whakahoki kupu ki a rātou.42Nā, ka tukia rātou e ahau ā rite noa rātou ki te puehu e pūhia ana e te hau;ākiritia atu ana rātou ki waho, ānō he paru nō te huarahi.43Kua whakaorangia ahau e koe i ngā ngangautanga a te iwi;kua meinga e koe hei rangatira mō ngā tauiwi;hei apa mōku te iwi kāhore i mātauria e ahau.44Kia rongo kau te taringa ki ahau, ka kakama tonu mai rātou ki ahau;ko ngā tāngata iwi kē ngohe kau ki ahau.45Ka memeha haere ngā tāngata iwi kē;ka puta wehi mai hoki i roto i ō rātou kuhunga.46E ora ana a Ihowā; kia whakapaingia hoki tōku kāmaka,kia whakanuia te Atua o tōku whakaoranga;47ko te Atua, māna nei e rapu he utu mōku,māna e pēhi ngā iwi ki raro i ahau.48Māna ahau e mawhiti ai i ōku hoariri,āe rā, māu ahau e mea kia teitei ake i te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau;ka whakaorangia ahau e koe i te tangata tutū.49Mō konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā, i waenganui i ngā tauiwi;ka hīmene ki tōu ingoa.50He nui nei tāna whakaora i tāna kīngi;e whakaputa aroha ana ki tāna tangata i whakawahi ai,ki a Rāwiri rātou ko ōna uri ake ake.
