Waiata 2
1 He aha ka nana ai nga tauiwi, ka whakaaro horihori ai nga iwi?
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 Whakatika mai ana nga kingi o te whenua, runanga tahi ana nga ariki, ki te whawhai ki a Ihowa, ki tana tangata hoki i whakawahi ai; me te ki ano,
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Kia motumotuhia e tatou a raua here, kia akiritia a raua taura i a tatou.
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 Ko ia kei te rangi e noho ana, ka kata ia: ka whakahi te Ariki ki a ratou.
He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5 Na ka korero ia ki a ratou me te riri ano: ka tino weriweri hoki, ka whakahorere i a ratou,
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Ahakoa ra ka whakawahia e ahau taku kingi ki runga ki taku maunga tapu, ki Hiona.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 Maku e whakapuaki te kupu, kua mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ko koe taku tama, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau.
I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Inoi ki ahau, a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe nga tauiwi hei kainga mou, me nga topito o te whenua hei nohoanga tupu mou.
Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 Ka wawahi koe i a ratou ki te whiu rino, mongamonga noa ratou i a koe, ano he oko na te kaihanga rihi.
You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Na kia mahara ra, e nga kingi: kia akona, e nga kaiwhakawa o te whenua.
Be wise now therefore, O all of you kings: be instructed, all of you judges of the earth.
11 Mahi atu ki a Ihowa i runga i te wehi, kia hari me te wiri.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kihia te tama kei riri ia, a ka mate koutou i te ara, ka hohoro tonu hoki te mura o tona riri. Ka hari katoa te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and all of you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
