PUKAPUKA 2
42
(Waiata 42–72)
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He Makiri, mā ngā tama a Koraha.
1 Rite tonu ki te hāta e kihakiha nei ki ngā manga wai
tōku ngākau e kihakiha nei ki a koe, e te Atua.
2 E hiainu ana tōku wairua ki te Atua, ki te Atua ora;
āhea ahau tae ai, puta ai ki te aroaro o te Atua?
3 Ko ōku roimata tāku kai
i te ao, i te pō,
i a rātou e mea tonu mai nei ki ahau,
“Kei hea tōu Atua?”
4 Ka mahara ahau ki ēnei mea;
me te wai tōku ngākau e maringi ana i roto i ahau:
i haere hoki ahau i roto i te huihui,
i haere tahi mātou ki te whare o te Atua,
he hari te reo, he whakamoemiti,
me te huihui e mea hākari ana.
5 He aha koe i piko ai, e tōku wairua?
I ohorere ai i roto i ahau?
Tūmanako ki te Atua;
tērā anō ahau e whakawhetai ki a ia,
mō te ora o tōna mata, 6 e tōku Atua.
Kua piko tōku wairua i roto i ahau;
koia ahau ka mahara ai ki a koe
i te whenua o Horano, o ngā Heremoni,
i Maunga Mitara.
7 Rarā ana tētahi rire ki tētahi rire
i te haruru o āu āwhiowhio wai;
tika ana āu ngaru katoa me āu tūātea
i runga i ahau.
8 Ahakoa rā e whakahaua mai anō e Ihowā tōna atawhai i te awatea;
ā, he waiata tāku ki a ia i te pō,
he īnoi ki te Atua o tōku ora.
9 Ka mea ahau ki te Atua,
“E tōku kōhatu, he aha koe i wareware ai ki ahau?
He aha ahau ka haere pōuri ai
i te tūkino a te hoariri?”
10 Ānō he hoari i roto i ōku wheua
te tāwai a ōku hoariri;
i a rātou e mea mai nei ki ahau i ngā rā katoa,
“Kei hea tōu Atua?”
11 He aha koe i piko ai, e tōku wairua?
He aha koe i ohorere ai i roto i ahau?
Tūmanako ki te Atua;
tērā anō ahau e whakawhetai ki a ia,
ko te ora nei ia o tōku mata, ko tōku Atua.
