¹Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

¹¶ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa; he pai hoki ia: he pumau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.

²Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?

²Me wai e korero nga mahi nunui a Ihowa: e whakakite katoa nga whakamoemiti ki a ia?

³Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

³Ka hari te hunga e mau ana ki te whakarite tika; me te kaimahi i te tika i nga wa katoa.

⁴Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

⁴Maharatia mai ahau, e Ihowa, kia rite ki tau manako ki tau iwi: tirotirohia mai ahau i runga i tau whakaoranga.

⁵that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

⁵Kia kite ai ahau i te pai o au i whiriwhiri ai: kia koa ai, koa tahi me tau iwi; kia whakamanamana tahi ai me tou kainga tupu.

⁶We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

⁶¶ Kua hara tahi matou me o matou matua, kua mahi matou i te kino, i te mea he.

⁷Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

⁷Kihai o matou matua i mohio ki au mea whakamiharo i Ihipa, kihai hoki i mahara ki te tini o au arohatanga; engari ia i whakatoi ratou ki a koe i te moana, ae, i te Moana Whero.

⁸Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.

⁸Otira whakaorangia ana ratou e ia, he whakaaro ki tona ingoa, kia matauria ai tona kaha.

⁹He rebuked the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

⁹I riria ano e ia te Moana Whero, a kua maroke: na arahina ana ratou e ia i nga rire, ano ko waenga koraha.

¹⁰He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹⁰Na whakaorangia ake ratou e ia i te ringa o te tangata i kino ki a ratou; a hokona ana ratou i roto i te ringa o te hoariri.

¹¹The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

¹¹A taupokina ana e nga wai o ratou hoariri, hore rawa tetahi morehu.

¹²Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.

¹²Na whakapono ana ratou ki ana kupu: a waiata ana i te whakamoemiti ki a ia.

¹³They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,

¹³¶ Hohoro tonu to ratou wareware ki ana mahi: kihai i taria e ratou tona whakaaro:

¹⁴but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

¹⁴Engari i whakaputa nui i o ratou hiahia i te tahora; whakamatautau ana ratou i te Atua i te koraha.

¹⁵He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁵Na ka hoatu e ia ta ratou i inoi ai; otira i tukua atu e ia te hiroki ki to ratou wairua.

¹⁶They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.

¹⁶I hae hoki ratou ki a Mohi i te puni, ki a Arona ano, ki te tangata tapu a Ihowa.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁷Ko te hamamatanga o te whenua, na horomia ana a Ratana; a taupokina iho te ropu o Apirama.

¹⁸A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁸A mura ana te ahi i to ratou ropu; wera ana i te mura te hunga kino.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.

¹⁹I hanga e ratou he kuao kau ki Horepa, a koropiko ana ki te whakapakoko i whakarewaina.

²⁰Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.

²⁰Koia i whitia ai e ratou to ratou kororia mo te mea i rite ki te puru kai tarutaru.

²¹They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

²¹Wareware ake i a ratou te Atua, to ratou kaiwhakaora, i mahi nei i nga mea nunui ki Ihipa.

²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

²²I nga mahi whakamiharo ki te whenua o Hama, i nga mea whakamataku ki te Moana Whero.

²³Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

²³Na ka mea ia, kia whakangaromia ratou, me i kaua a Mohi, tana i whiriwhiri ai, te tu ki tona aroaro i te takiwa, hei papare ake i tona riri, kei huna ratou e ia.

²⁴Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,

²⁴Ae ra, i whakahawea ratou ki te whenua ahuareka; kihai ratou i whakapono ki tana kupu;

²⁵but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.

²⁵Heoi amuamu ana i roto i o ratou teneti, kihai i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa.

²⁶Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁶Na reira ka ara tona ringa ki a ratou, ki te turaki i a ratou i te koraha;

²⁷that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

²⁷Ki te turaki i o ratou uri i roto i nga iwi: ki te whakamarara i a ratou ki nga whenua.

²⁸They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁸I whakauru atu hoki ratou ki a Paarapeoro: a kai ana i nga patunga tapu ma nga mea mate.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

²⁹Koia i whakapataritari ai ratou i a ia ki a ratou hanga kia riri; a pakaru ana mai te mate uruta ki a ratou.

³⁰Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.

³⁰Na ko te whakatikanga ake o Pinehaha, ki te whakaputa whakawa: a mutu iho te mate.

³¹That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.

³¹I kiia ai ia he tika i nga whakatupuranga katoa ake ake.

³²They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

³²I whakapataritari ano ratou i a ia ki nga wai o Meripa; na hemanawa ana a Mohi mo ratou:

³³because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.

³³Na ratou hoki i whakatoi tona wairua, i he ai te kupu a ona ngutu.

³⁴They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,

³⁴¶ Kihai ratou i whakangaro i nga iwi i kiia nei e Ihowa ki a ratou;

³⁵but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.

³⁵Heoi uru ana ki roto ki nga tauiwi, a ako ana i a ratou mahi.

³⁶They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

³⁶I mahi hoki ratou ki a ratou whakapakoko, i mahangatia ai ratou.

³⁷Ae, i patua e ratou a ratou tama me a ratou tamahine ma nga atua maori;

³⁸They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.

³⁸I whakahekea hoki te toto harakore, nga toto o a ratou tama, o a ratou tamahine, i patua nei e ratou ma nga whakapakoko o Kanaana; a poke iho te whenua i te toto.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.

³⁹Na poke iho ratou i a ratou mahi: a puremu ana ki a ratou mahi.

⁴⁰Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.

⁴⁰Koia i mura ai te riri o Ihowa ki tana iwi; a whakarihariha ana ia ki tona kainga tupu.

⁴¹He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴¹A tukua ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o nga tauiwi; waiho ana te hunga i kino ki a ratou hei rangatira mo ratou.

⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴²Na ka tukinotia ratou e o ratou hoariri: ka pehia ki raro i o ratou ringa.

⁴³Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.

⁴³He maha ana whakaoranga i a ratou: ko ratou ia i whakatoi ki a ia i o ratou whakaaro, a whakaititia ana i ta ratou kino.

⁴⁴Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

⁴⁴Ahakoa ra, i titiro ia ki to ratou matenga, i tona rongonga i ta ratou tangi:

⁴⁵He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁴⁵I mahara hoki ia ki tana kawenata ki a ratou, a rite tonu ki te tini o ana mahi aroha te putanga ketanga o ona whakaaro:

⁴⁶He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.

⁴⁶I meinga hoki ratou e ia kia arohaina e te hunga katoa i whakaraua atu ai ratou.

⁴⁷Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!

⁴⁷Whakaorangia matou, e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, kohikohia matou i roto i nga tauiwi: kia whakawhetai ai ki tou ingoa tapu, kia whakamanamana ai ki tou whakamoemiti.

⁴⁸Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah! BOOK V

⁴⁸Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, i tua whakarere ano, a ake ake. A kia mea katoa te iwi, Amine. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
