Salmos 135

He Whakamoemiti mō te Pai me te Kaha o Ihowā

1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

Whakamoemititia te ingoa o Ihowā;

whakamoemititia ia, e ngā pononga a Ihowā,

2 e koutou e tū nei i roto i te whare o Ihowā,

i ngā marae o te whare o tō tātou Atua.

3 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā; he pai hoki a Ihowā;

hīmene atu ki tōna ingoa; he mea āhuareka hoki tēnā.

4 Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowā a Hākopa māna,

a Īharaira hei tino taonga mōna.

5 E mātau ana hoki ahau he nui a Ihowā;

kei runga atu hoki tō tātou Ariki i ngā atua katoa.

6 Ko ngā mea katoa i pai ai a Ihowā, kua oti i a ia,

i te rangi, i te whenua,

i ngā moana, i ngā wāhi hōhonu katoa.

7 Nāna i pupū ake ai ngā kohu i ngā pito o te whenua;

i hangā e ia ngā uira mō te ua;

e whakaputaina mai ana e ia te hau i roto i ōna whare taonga.

8 Nāna nei i patu ngā mātāmua o Īhipa,

a te tangata, a te kararehe;

9 i tonoa e ia he tohu, he merekara

ki waenganui ōu, e Īhipa;

ki runga ki a Parao rātou ko āna pononga katoa.

10 Nāna i patu ngā iwi maha,

i whakamate ngā kīngi rarahi –

11 a Hihona kīngi o ngā Amori,

a Oka kīngi o Pahana,

me ngā rangatiratanga katoa o Kanaana –

12 ā, hōmai ana e ia tō rātou whenua hei kāinga pūmau,

hei kāinga pūmau mō Īharaira, mō tāna iwi.

13 E Ihowā, pūmau tonu tōu ingoa,

me tōu maharatanga, e Ihowā, ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa.

14 Ka whakawā hoki a Ihowā mō tāna iwi;

ā, ka puta kē tōna whakaaro ki āna pononga.

15 He hiriwa, he kōura ngā whakapakoko a ngā tauiwi,

he mahi nā te ringa tāngata.

16 He māngai ō rātou, ā, kāhore e kōrero;

he kanohi ō rātou, ā, kāhore e kite;

17 he taringa ō rātou, ā, kāhore e rongo,

kāhore anō he manawa i ō rātou māngai.

18 Ka rite ki a rātou te hunga nāna rātou i hanga;

āe, me ngā tāngata katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a rātou.

19 Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te whare o Īharaira!

Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te whare o Ārona!

20 Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te whare o Rīwai!

Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowā!

21 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā i roto i Hiona,

e noho nei i Hiruhārama.

Whakapaingia a Ihowā!

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye the name of Jehovah;

Praise him, O ye servants of Jehovah,

2 Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah,

In the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good:

Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself,

And Israel for his own possession.

5 For I know that Jehovah is great,

And that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done,

In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

7 Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;

Who maketh lightnings for the rain;

Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;

8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt,

Both of man and beast;

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,

Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;

10 Who smote many nations,

And slew mighty kings,

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

And Og king of Bashan,

And all the kingdoms of Canaan,

12 And gave their land for a heritage,

A heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;

Thy memorial name, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

14 For Jehovah will judge his people,

And repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not;

Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them shall be like unto them;

Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah:

O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:

20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah:

Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

21 Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion,

Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.

Praise ye Jehovah.
