Salmos 94

Ko te Atua te Kaiwhakawā o te Katoa

1 E Ihowā, e te Atua, e te kairapu utu;

e te Atua, e te kairapu utu, tīaho mai!

2 E ara, e te Kaiwhakawā o te whenua;

hoatu te utu e rite ana ki te hunga whakakake.

3 Kia pēhea te roa, e Ihowā, o te hunga kino nei,

kia pēhea te roa o te hunga kino e whakamanamana ana?

4 Kei te kōrero whakatū rātou, kei te kōrero whakahī;

kei te kōrero whakapehapeha ki a rātou ngā kaimahi katoa i te kino.

5 Mongamonga noa tāu iwi i a rātou e Ihowā;

e tūkinotia ana e rātou tōu kāinga tupu.

6 E patua ana e rātou te pouaru, te manene;

e kōhuru ana i te pani,

7 ā, e mea ana, "E kore a Ihowā e kite;

e kore e maharatia e te Atua o Hākopa."

8 Kia mātau, e ngā pōauau o te iwi;

āhea anō koutou whai mahara ai, e ngā kūware?

9 Ko te kaiwhakatō o te taringa, e kore rānei ia e rongo?

Ko te kaihanga o te kanohi, e kore ianei ia e kite?

10 Ko te kaipapaki o ngā iwi e kore rānei ia e papaki,

arā ko te kaiwhakaako nei i te tangata kia mōhio?

11 E mātau ana a Ihowā ki ngā whakaaro o te tangata,

he mea teka noa.

12 Ka hari te tangata e pākia ana e koe, e Ihowā;

e whakaakona ana i roto i tāu ture.

13 Kia mārie ai tōna ngākau i a koe i ngā rā o te hē,

ā, keria noatia iho te poka mō te tangata kino.

14 E kore hoki a Ihowā e panga i tāna iwi,

e kore anō e whakarere i tōna kāinga tupu.

15 Engari e hoki te whakawā ki te tika;

ā, e arumia e ngā tāngata ngākau tika katoa.

16 Ko wai tōku hei whakatika ake ki te hunga kino?

Ko wai tōku hei tū ake ki ngā kaimahi i te hara?

17 Mehemea kaua a Ihowā hei āwhina mōku,

pēnei kua noho kupukore noa atu tōku wairua.

18 I tāku meatanga, "Ka paheke tōku waewae,"

nā tāu mahi tohu, e Ihowā, ahau i tautoko ake.

19 I ōku whakaaronga maha i roto i tōku ngākau

ko āu whakamārie tōku oranga ngākau.

20 Tērā rānei e whakahoa ki a koe te torōna o te kino,

e whakatakoto nei i te mahi nanakia hei ture?

21 Kei te whakahuihui rātou ki te poke i te wairua o te tangata tika,

e mea ana kia heke te toto harakore.

22 Ko Ihowā ia tōku pā teko;

ko tōku Atua hei kōhatu piringa mōku.

23 Ā, nāna i whakahoki tō rātou kino ki runga ki a rātou,

ā, tērā ia e whakangaro i a rātou i roto i ō rātou kino;

mā Ihowā, mā tō tātou Atua rātou e whakangaro.

1 O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,

Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:

Render to the proud their desert.

3 Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,

How long shall the wicked triumph?

4 They prate, they speak arrogantly:

All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.

5 They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,

And afflict thy heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the sojourner,

And murder the fatherless.

7 And they say, Jehovah will not see,

Neither will the God of Jacob consider.

8 Consider, ye brutish among the people;

And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?

He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10 He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,

Even he that teacheth man knowledge?

11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man,

That they are vanity.

12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah,

And teachest out of thy law;

13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,

Until the pit be digged for the wicked.

14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people,

Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness;

And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?

Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Unless Jehovah had been my help,

My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

18 When I said, My foot slippeth;

Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me

Thy comforts delight my soul.

20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,

Which frameth mischief by statute?

21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,

And condemn the innocent blood.

22 But Jehovah hath been my high tower,

And my God the rock of my refuge.

23 And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity,

And will cut them off in their own wickedness;

Jehovah our God will cut them off.
