1¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia, e nga pononga a Ihowa, whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa.
1Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
2Kia whakapaingia te ingo o Ihowa aianei a ake ake.
2Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!
3Kia whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa i te putanga mai o te ra, a tae noa ki tona torengitanga.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.
4Kei runga rawa a Ihowa i nga iwi katoa: kei runga ake i nga rangi tona kororia.
4Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5Ko wai te rite ana ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, kei runga nei tona nohoanga,
5Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;
6E whakaiti nei i a ia ki te titiro iho ki nga mea kei te rangi, kei te whenua?
6Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?
7E whakaara ake ana ia i te iti i roto i te puehu, e whakateitei ake ana i te rawakore i roto i te puranga paru;
7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,
8Kia whakanohoia ai e ia ki roto ki nga rangatira, ki nga rangatira o tana iwi.
8To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.
9Nana hoki te pakoko i whai whare ai, hei whaereere e koa ana ki ana tamariki. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
