Salmos 116

1 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,

and my cries for mercy.

2 Because he has turned his ear to me,

therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death surrounded me,

the pains of Sheol*116:3 Sheol is the place of the dead. got a hold of me.

I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on Yahweh’s name:

"Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

5 Yahweh is gracious and righteous.

Yes, our God is merciful.

6 Yahweh preserves the simple.

I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 Return to your rest, my soul,

for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For you have delivered my soul from death,

my eyes from tears,

and my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore I said,

"I was greatly afflicted."

11 I said in my haste,

"All people are liars."

12 What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name.

14 I will pay my vows to Yahweh,

yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.

16 Yahweh, truly I am your servant.

I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.

You have freed me from my chains.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and will call on Yahweh’s name.

18 I will pay my vows to Yahweh,

yes, in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of Yahweh’s house,

in the middle of you, Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!

He Whakawhetai mō te Whakaoranga i te Māuiui

1 E aroha ana ahau ki a Ihowā;

mōna i whakarongo ki tōku reo, ki āku īnoi.

2 I tahuri mai tōna taringa ki ahau;

mō reira ka karanga ahau ki a ia i ahau e ora ana.

3 I karapotia ahau e ngā whakawiringa a te mate;

mau pū ahau i ngā mamae o te rēinga,

i kite ahau i te pāwera, i te pōuri.

4 Nā, ko tāku karangatanga ki te ingoa o Ihowā:

"Tēnā rā, e Ihowā, whakaorangia tōku wairua!"

5 He atawhai a Ihowā, he tika;

āe, he aroha tō tātou Atua.

6 E tiakina ana e Ihowā te hunga kūware;

i whakaititia ahau, ā, nāna ahau i whakaora.

7 E hoki, e tōku wairua, ki tōu okiokinga;

kua atawhaitia hoki koe e Ihowā.

8 Nāu hoki tōku wairua i whakaora kei mate,

ōku kanohi kei whai roimata,

ōku waewae kei paheke.

9 Tērā ahau e hāereere i te aroaro o Ihowā

i te whenua o te ora.

10 I whakapono ahau, koia ahau i kōrero ai;

"He nui tōku whakawhiunga."

11 I mea ahau i tōku ohoreretanga,

"He teka kau ngā tāngata katoa."

12 He aha tāku e whakahoki ai ki a Ihowā

mō āna atawhainga katoa i ahau?

13 Ka mau ahau ki te kapu o te whakaoranga,

ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowā.

14 Ka whakamanā e ahau āku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowā

i te aroaro o tāna iwi katoa.

15 He mea utu nui ki tā Ihowā titiro

te matenga o tāna hunga tapu.

16 E Ihowā, he pono ko ahau tāu pononga;

ko ahau tāu pononga, ko te tama a tāu pononga wahine;

nāu i wewete ōku here.

17 Ka tukua e ahau te patunga tapu, arā te whakawhetai;

ka karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowā.

18 Ka whakamanā e ahau āku kupu taurangi ki a Ihowā,

āe, ki te aroaro o tāna iwi katoa,

19 ki ngā marae o te whare o Ihowā,

ki waenganui ōu, e Hiruhārama.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!
