¹¶ Heoi kawea ana e ratou te aaka a te Atua, whakaturia ana ki waenganui o te teneti i whakaarahia e Rawiri mona; a tapaea ana e ratou he tahunga tinana, he whakahere mo te pai ki te aroaro o te Atua.

¹And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God;

²A, ka mutu ta Rawiri whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahere mo te pai, ka manaakitia e ia te iwi i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

²and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,

³I tuwhaina ano e ia ma nga tangata katoa o Iharaira, ma te tane, ma te wahine, kotahi rohi taro ma tenei, ma tenei, tetahi wahi kikokiko, me tetahi keke karepe whakamaroke.

³and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.

⁴I whakaritea ano e ia etahi o nga Riwaiti hei minita ki mua i te aaka a Ihowa, hei whakamahara, hei whakawhetai, hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira:

⁴And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel,

⁵Ko Ahapa hei tuatahi; i muri i a ia ko Hakaraia, ko Teiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Penaia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere hoki ki nga hatere, ki nga hapa, ko Ahapa hei whakatangi i nga himipora:

⁵Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding;

⁶Ko Penaia hoki raua ko Tahatiere, ko nga tohunga, kia tuturu tonu ta raua mau tetere ki mua i te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua.

⁶and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests [are] with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

⁷¶ I reira ano i taua ra ka whakaritea tuatahitia e Rawiri he whakamoemiti mo Ihowa, na te ringa o Ahapa ratou ko ona teina.

⁷On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: —

⁸Whakawhetai atu ki a Ihowa, karanga ki tona ingoa; whakapuakina ana mahi ki waenganui o nga iwi.

⁸Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.

⁹Waiata ki a ia, himene ki a ia; korerotia ana mahi whakamiharo katoa.

⁹Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.

¹⁰Kia whakamanamana koutou ki tona ingoa tapu: kia hari nga ngakau o te hunga e rapu ana i a Ihowa.

¹⁰Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.

¹¹Rapua a Ihowa, me tona kaha; rapua tonutia tona mata.

¹¹Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.

¹²Maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo i mahi ai ia; ana merekara, me nga whakaritenga a tona mangai;

¹²Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,

¹³E nga uri o Iharaira, o tana pononga, e nga tama a Hakopa, e ana i whiriwhiri ai.

¹³O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

¹⁴Ko Ihowa ia, ko to tatou Atua: kei te whenua katoa ana whakaritenga.

¹⁴He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.

¹⁵Maharatia tonutia tana kawenata, te kupu i kiia iho e ia ki te mano o nga whakatupuranga;

¹⁵Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded — To a thousand generations,

¹⁶Te kawenata i whakarite ai ia ki a Aperahama, tana oati hoki ki a Ihaka;

¹⁶Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath — to Isaac,

¹⁷A whakapumautia iho hei tikanga ki a Hakopa, hei kawenata mau tonu ki a Iharaira:

¹⁷And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during.

¹⁸I a ia i mea ra, Ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe te whenua o Kanaana hei wahi pumau mo koutou:

¹⁸Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,

¹⁹I te mea e torutoru ana ano koutou; ae, e tokoiti rawa ana, he manene hoki ki reira;

¹⁹When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.

²⁰I a ratou e haereere ana i tenei iwi ki tera atu iwi, i tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi iwi ke.

²⁰And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.

²¹Kihai ratou i tukua e ia kia tukinotia e te tangata; ae ra, i riria e ia nga kingi, he whakaaro ki a ratou;

²¹He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:

²²I mea ia, Kei pa ki aku i whakawahi ai, kei kino hoki ki aku poropiti.

²²Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.

²³Waiata, e te whenua katoa ki a Ihowa; kauwhautia tana mahi whakaora i tena rangi, i tena rangi.

²³Sing to Jehovah, all the earth, Proclaim from day unto day His salvation.

²⁴Whakapuakina tona kororia i waenganui i nga tauiwi, ana mahi whakamiharo i waenganui i nga iwi katoa.

²⁴Rehearse among nations His glory, Among all the peoples His wonders.

²⁵He nui hoki a Ihowa, kia nui te whakamoemiti ki a ia; kia wehingia nuitia atu hoki ia i nga atua katoa.

²⁵For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, And fearful He [is] above all gods.

²⁶He whakapakoko hoki nga atua katoa o nga iwi: na Ihowa ia i hanga nga rangi.

²⁶For all gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made.

²⁷He honore, he kingitanga kei tona aroaro; kei tona wahi te kaha me te koa.

²⁷Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and joy [are] in His place.

²⁸Tukua ki a Ihowa, e nga hapu o nga iwi, tukua ki a Ihowa te kororia me te kaha.

²⁸Ascribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

²⁹Tukua atu ki a Ihowa te kororia e tika ana mo tona ingoa: maua mai he whakahere, haere mai ki tona aroaro: koropiko ki a Ihowa i roto i te ataahua o te tapu.

²⁹Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

³⁰Kia wehi ra ki tona aroaro, e te whenua katoa: e u ano te ano, te taea te whakanekeneke.

³⁰Be pained before Him, all the earth:

³¹Kia hari nga rangi, kia koa te whenua; kia mea ratou i roto i nga iwi, Ko Ihowa te kingi.

³¹Also, established is the world, It is not moved! The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations: Jehovah hath reigned.

³²Kia haruru te moana, me nga mea e hua ana i roto; kia koa te mara, me nga mea katoa i runga:

³²Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that [is] in it,

³³Ko reira nga rakau o te ngahere waiata ai i te hari i te aroaro o Ihowa, e haere mai ana hoki ia ki te whakarite i runga i te whenua.

³³Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth!

³⁴Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, he pai hoki ia, he pumau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

³⁴Give thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, [is] His kindness,

³⁵Mea atu hoki, Whakaorangia matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga, kohikohia matou, whakaorangia matou i nga tauiwi, kia whakawhetai ai matou ki tou ingoa tapu, kia whakamanamana ai ki tou whakamoemititanga.

³⁵And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To triumph in Thy praise.

³⁶Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira ake nei, a ake nei. Na ka mea te iwi katoa, Amine; a whakamoemiti ano ratou ki a Ihowa.

³⁶Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;` And all the people say, `Amen,` and have given praise to Jehovah.

³⁷¶ Heoi ka waiho e ia i reira, i mua i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, a Ahapa ratou ko ona teina, hei minita tonu ki mua i te aaka, i nga meatanga o tenei ra, o tenei ra:

³⁷And he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day,

³⁸A Opereeroma me o ratou teina, e ono tekau ma waru; a Opereeroma hoki tama a Ierutunu, raua ko Hoha hei kaitiaki tatau;

³⁸both Obed-Edom and their brethren, sixty and eight, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for gatekeepers,

³⁹Ko Haroko tohunga me ona teina, me nga tohunga, ki mua o te tapenakara o Ihowa i te wahi tiketike i Kipeono,

³⁹and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a high place that [is] in Gibeon,

⁴⁰Hei whakaeke tonu i nga tahunga tinana ma Ihowa ki runga ki te aata tahunga tinana i te ata, i te ahiahi, hei mea i nga mea katoa i tuhituhia ki te ture a Ihowa, i whakahaua e ia ki a Iharaira;

⁴⁰to cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged on Israel.

⁴¹A, hei hoa mo ratou a Hemana raua ko Ierutunu, me era atu i whiriwhiria, i whakahuatia nei nga ingoa, hei whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, no te mea he pumau tonu tana mahi tohu;

⁴¹And with them [are] Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness,

⁴²Hei hoa hoki mo ratou a Hemana raua ko Ierutunu me nga tetere me nga himipora ma nga kaiwhakatangi kaha, me nga whakatangi mo nga waiata a te Atua: a ko nga tama a Ierutunu hei kaitiaki kuwaha.

⁴²and with them — Heman and Jeduthun — [are] trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun [are] at the gate.

⁴³Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki tona whare, ki tona whare; a hoki ana a Rawiri ki te manaaki i tona whare.

⁴³And all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house.
