Psalm 15 ~ Psalm 15

1 H e himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, ko wai e noho ki tou tapenakara? Ko wai e noho ki tou maunga tapu?

O Lord, who may live in Your tent? Who may live on Your holy hill?

2 K o ia he tapatahi nei te haere, he tika te mahi, he korero pono ano i roto i tona ngakau.

He who walks without blame and does what is right and good, and speaks the truth in his heart.

3 K ahore nei e ngautuara tona arero, kahore e kino te mahi ki tona hoa, kahore ana ingoa kino mo tona hoa.

He does not hurt others with his tongue, or do wrong to his neighbor, or bring shame to his friend.

4 E whakahengia ana te tangata kino e ona kanohi, e whakahonoretia ana ia e ia te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowa. Ahakoa mate i tana oati, kahore e whakapaheketia e ia.

He looks down upon a sinful person, but honors those who fear the Lord. He keeps his promises even if it may hurt him.

5 K ahore e tuku i tana moni hei moni whakatupu; kahore hoki e tango i te moni hei utu mate mo te tangata harakore. Ki te penei te mahi a tetahi, e kore ia e whakakorikoria ake ake.

He gives money to be used without being paid for its use. And he does not take money to hurt those who are not guilty. He who does these things will never be shaken.
