1 O Lord, You are my God. I will praise You. I will give thanks to Your name. For You have been faithful to do great things, plans that You made long ago.

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 laid waste a city. You have destroyed a strong city. The beautiful house of strangers is a city no more. And it will never be built again.

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 S o strong people will honor You. Cities of nations that show no pity will fear 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 strong-place for those who could not help themselves and for those in need because of much trouble. You have been a safe place from the storm and a shadow from the heat. For the breath of the one who shows no pity is like a 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 a dry place, You quiet the noise of the strangers. Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the one who shows no pity is made quiet. A Supper for All People

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 O n this mountain the Lord of All will make a supper of good things ready for all people. It will be a supper of good wine, of the best foods, and of fine 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 destroy the covering which is over all people, the covering which is spread 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 take away death for all time. The Lord God will dry tears from all faces. He will take away the shame 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 I t will be said in that day, “See, this is our God. We have waited for Him, that He might save us. This is the Lord for Whom we have waited. Let us be glad and full of joy because He saves us.” Moab Will Be Punished

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 crushed in his place, as straw is crushed down in animal waste.

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 M oab will spread out his hands in it, as a man spreads out his hands to swim. But the Lord will put his pride to shame, together with the sinful work 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 A nd the Lord will bring down your high walls built for war and lay them low. He will throw them 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.
