1 O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.

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.

2 F or You have made a city into a heap, A fortified city into a ruin; A palace of strangers is a city no more, It will never be rebuilt.

Kua 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.

3 T herefore a strong people will glorify You; Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

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

4 F or You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.

Hei 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.

5 L ike heat in drought, You subdue the uproar of aliens; Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced.

Ka 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.

6 T he Lord of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, And refined, aged wine.

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.

7 A nd on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, Even the veil which is stretched over all nations.

Ka 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.

8 H e will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.

Kua 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.

9 A nd it will be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

Ko 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.

10 F or the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain, And Moab will be trodden down in his place As straw is trodden down in the water of a manure pile.

No 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.

11 A nd he will spread out his hands in the middle of it As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim, But the Lord will lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.

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.

12 T he unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down, Lay low and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

Na, 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.
