Salmos 32

Te Whākinga me te Murunga

Nā Rāwiri: he Makiri.

1 Ka hari te tangata kua oti tāna hē te muru,

tōna hara te hīpoki.

2 Ka hari te tangata kāhore nei e whakairia e Ihowā he hara ki a ia,

ā, kāhore he hīanga i tōna wairua.

3 I ahau kīhai i kuihi, ngahengahe kau ōku iwi

i tāku auētanga i te rā roa.

4 Nō tōu ringa i taimaha ki ahau i te ao, i te pō;

kua whakaputaina kētia tōku mākūkūranga,

ānō nā te maroketanga o te raumati. Hera

5 I whākina e ahau tōku hara ki a koe,

kīhai hoki i huna i tōku kino;

i mea ahau, "Ka whākina āku mahi tutū ki a Ihowā,"

ā, murua ana e koe te kino o tōku hara. Hera

6 Mō konei ka īnoi ki a koe

ngā tāngata tapu katoa i te wā e kitea ai koe;

he pono ka ngawhā ngā wai nui,

e kore e tata ki a ia.

7 Ko koe tōku piringa;

māu ahau e whakaora i te pōuri,

māu ahau e karapoti ki ngā waiata whakaora. Hera

8 Ka tohutohungia koe e ahau, ka whakaakona koe ki te ara e haere ai koe;

mā tōku kanohi koe e ārahi.

9 Kei rite koutou ki te hōiho, ki te muera rānei,

kāhore nei he mātauranga;

he mea kuku nei ō rāua kauae ki te paraire,

ki te mōkā hei pupuri mai;

ki te kore hoki, e kore e tata ki a koe.

10 He tini ngā mea whakapōuri mō te tangata hara;

ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowā,

ka karapotia e te atawhai.

11 Kia koa ki a Ihowā, whakamanamana, e te hunga tika;

kia hari, hāmama, e te hunga ngākau tika katoa.

A Psalm of David. Maschil.

1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,

And in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away

Through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:

My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. [Selah

5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee,

And mine iniquity did I not hide:

I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;

And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah

6 For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:

Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

7 Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;

Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:

I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;

Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,

Else they will not come near unto thee.

10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;

But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.

11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;

And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
