1 E Ihowa, ko koe toku Atua; ka whakanuia koe e ahau, ka whakamoemititia e ahau tou ingoa; he mahi whakamiharo hoki au, ara ko nga whakaaro i takoto nei i mua, i runga i te pono, i te tika.

¶ O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee; I will praise thy name for thou hast done wonders, the counsels of old, the truth unchanging.

2 K ua meinga hoki e koe te pa hei puranga; te pa kaha, hei ururua; te whare kingi o nga tangata ke, kore iho tera pa; e kore e hanga a ake ake.

That thou hast turned the city into a heap; the defenced city into a ruin: the palace of strangers to not be a city; it shall never be rebuilt.

3 N a ka whakakororiatia koe e te iwi kaha, ka wehi te pa o nga iwi nanakia i a koe.

Therefore the strong people shall glorify thee; the city of the strong Gentiles shall fear thee.

4 H ei pa kaha hoki koe mo te ware, hei pa kaha mo te rawakore i tona henga, hei whakaruru kei mate i te tupuhi, hei whakahauhau mo te werawera, ina rite te hau o te hunga nanakia ki te tupuhi e aki mai ana ki te taiepa.

For thou hast been strength to the poor, strength to the needy in his distress, refuge from the storm, shadow from the heat, for the force of the violent is as a storm against the wall.

5 K a rite ki te mahana i te wahi maroke te ngangau o nga tangata ki ka whakahokia iho nei e koe; ka rite ki te mahana i nga wa e whakamarumarua ana e te kapua, ka iti iho te waiata a te hunga nanakia.

As the heat in a dry place, thou shalt bring down the pride of the strangers; even as with heat that burns beneath a cloud, thou shalt cause the offshoot of the stout ones to wither.

6 A ka tukua e Ihowa o nga mano he hakari ma nga iwi katoa ki runga ki tenei maunga, he mea momona, he waina nganga hei hakari, he mea momona, ki tonu i te hinu wheua, he waina nganga, tatari rawa.

¶ And in this mountain the LORD of the hosts shall make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of purified wines, of fat things full of marrow, of purified liquids.

7 K a whakakahoretia ano e ia i runga i tenei maunga te mata o te hipoki e hipoki nei i nga iwi katoa, me te taupoki e taupoki nei i nga tauiwi katoa.

And he will undo in this mountain the mask of the covering with which all the peoples are covered and the veil that is extended over all the Gentiles.

8 K ua horomia e ia te mate ake ake; a ka horoia e te Ariki, e Ihowa, nga roimata o nga kanohi katoa, ka whakakahoretia ano e ia te whakahawea ki tana iwi puta noa i te whenua; na Ihowa nei hoki te kupu.

He will destroy death forever; and the Lord GOD shall wipe away every tear from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people he shall take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has determined it.

9 K o te kupu ano tenei i taua ra, Nana, ko to tatou Atua tenei: i tatari tatou ki a ia, ka ora ano tatou i a ia: ko Ihowa tenei; i tatari tatou ki a ia; ka hari tatou, ka koa ki tana whakaoranga.

¶ And it shall be said in that day, Behold, this is our God, whom we have waited for, and he has saved us: this is the LORD, whom we have waited for, we will be glad and rejoice in his saving health.

10 N o te mea ka okioki te ringa o Ihowa ki tenei maunga, a ka takahia a Moapa ki raro i tona wahi, me te kakau witi e takahia ana ki te wai o te puranga paru.

For in this mountain the hand of the LORD shall rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

11 A ka totoro ona ringa i waenganui o reira pera me te kaikauhoe e toro ana i ona ringa ina kauhoe ia; ka tukua hoki ki raro tona whakapehapeha me nga mahi a ona ringa.

And he shall extend his hand in the midst of him as he that swims spreads forth his hand to swim: and he shall bring down his pride with the members of his hands

12 N a, ko te wahi kaha o te pourewa tiketike o ou taiepa, kua tukua iho e ia, takoto rawa, pa rawa ki te whenua, ki te puehu rawa.

and lay siege to the fortress of thy high walls; he shall humble it and bring it down to the ground, even to the dust.
