Salmos 129

A Song of Ascents.

1 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.

Let Israel now say:

2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,

yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed on my back.

They made their furrows long.

4 Yahweh is righteous.

He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward,

all those who hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,

which withers before it grows up,

7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand,

nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

8 Neither do those who go by say,

"The blessing of Yahweh be on you.

We bless you in Yahweh’s name."

He Īnoi mō te Whakamarumaru

He waiata; he pikitanga.

1 He kī tēnei mā Īharaira –

"Ka maha ā rātou tūkinotanga i ahau o tōku tamarikitanga ake;

2 ka maha ā rātou tūkinotanga i ahau o tōku tamarikitanga ake,

heoi, kīhai ahau i taea e rātou.

3 I parautia tōku tuarā e ngā kaiparau;

he roa ā rātou parautanga."

4 He tika tā Ihowā;

motu pū i a ia ngā aho a te hunga kino.

5 Kia whakamā, kia whakahokia ki muri,

te hunga katoa e kino nei ki Hiona.

6 Kia rite rātou ki te tarutaru i ngā tuanui,

e memenge nei i te mea kīanō i tupu ake,

7 e kore nei e kī te ringa o te kaikoti,

te uma hoki o te kaipaihere,

8 e kore anō te hunga e haere ana i te taha e mea,

"Kia tau ki a koutou te manaaki a Ihowā!

Ko tā mātou manaaki tēnei ki a koutou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowā!"
