¹¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowa; whakamoemititia ia, e nga pononga a Ihowa.

¹Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

²E koutou e tu nei i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i nga marae o te whare o to tatou Atua.

²you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of our God’s house.

³Whakamoemititia a Ihowa; he pai hoki a Ihowa; himene atu ki tona ingoa; he mea ahuareka hoki tena.

³Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

⁴Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowa a Hakopa mana, a Iharaira hei tino taonga mona.

⁴For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

⁵¶ E matau ana hoki ahau he nui a Ihowa: kei runga atu hoki to tatou Ariki i nga atua katoa.

⁵For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

⁶Ko nga mea katoa i pai ai a Ihowa, kua oti i a ia, i te rangi, i te whenua, i nga moana, i nga wahi hohonu katoa.

⁶Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

⁷Nana i pupu ake ai nga kohu i nga pito o te whenua: i hanga e ia nga uira mo te ua; e whakaputaina mai ana e ia te hau i roto i ona whare taonga.

⁷who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;

⁸Nana nei i patu nga matamua o Ihipa, a te tangata, a te kararehe;

⁸Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

⁹I tonoa e ia he tohu, he merekara ki waenganui ou, e Ihipa: ki runga ki a Parao ratou ko ana pononga katoa.

⁹Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

¹⁰Nana i patu nga iwi maha, i whakamate nga kingi rarahi;

¹⁰who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

¹¹A Hihona kingi o nga Amori, a Oka kingi o Pahana, me nga rangatiratanga katoa o Kanaana;

¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

¹²A homai ana e ia to ratou whenua hei kainga pumau, hei kainga pumau mo Iharaira, mo tana iwi.

¹²and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

¹³E Ihowa, pumau tonu tou ingoa, me tou maharatanga, e Ihowa, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa.

¹³Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

¹⁴Ka whakawa hoki a Ihowa mo tana iwi; a ka puta ke tona whakaaro ki ana pononga.

¹⁴For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵¶ He hiriwa, he koura nga whakapakoko a nga tauiwi, he mahi na te ringa tangata.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

¹⁶He mangai o ratou, a kahore e korero: he kanohi o ratou, a kahore e kite:

¹⁶They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

¹⁷He taringa o ratou, a kahore e rongo: kahore ano he manawa i o ratou mangai.

¹⁷They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸Ka rite ki a ratou te hunga nana ratou i hanga; ae, me nga tangata katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ratou.

¹⁸Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Iharaira; whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Arona;

¹⁹House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

²⁰Whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te whare o Riwai; whakapaingia a Ihowa, e te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowa;

²⁰House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!

²¹Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i roto i Hiona, e noho nei i Hiruharama. Whakapaingia a Ihowa.

²¹Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
