Waiata 79
1 He himene na Ahapa. E te Atua, kua tae mai nga tauiwi ki tou kainga tupu, kua noa i a ratou tou temepara tapu, kua waiho a Hiruharama kia puranga kau ana.
Of Asaph. God, hethene men cam in to thin eritage; thei defouliden thin hooli temple, thei settiden Jerusalem in to the keping of applis.
2 Ko nga tinana mate o au pononga kua hoatu e ratou hei kai ma nga manu o te rangi, ko te kikokiko o tau hunga tapu ma nga kirehe o te whenua.
Thei settiden the slayn bodies of thi seruauntis, meetis to the volatilis of heuenes; the fleischis of thi seyntis to the beestis of the erthe.
3 Ko o ratou toto, ringihia ake e ratou ano he wai, ki nga taha o Hiruharama; kahore hoki he tangata hei tanu i a ratou.
Thei schedden out the blood of hem, as watir in the cumpas of Jerusalem; and noon was that biriede.
4 Kua waiho matou hei tawainga ma o matou hoa, hei katanga ma te hunga i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o matou.
We ben maad schenschipe to oure neiyboris; mowynge and scornynge to hem, that ben in oure cumpas.
5 Kia pehea te roa, e Ihowa? E riri tonu ranei koe ake ake? E ngiha tonu ranei tou hae me he kapura?
Lord, hou longe schalt thou be wrooth in to the ende? schal thi veniaunce be kyndelid as fier?
6 Ringihia tou riri ki nga tauiwi kahore nei e matau ki a koe, ki nga rangatiratanga kahore nei e karanga ki tou ingoa.
Schede out thin ire in to hethene men, that knowen not thee; and in to rewmes, that clepiden not thi name.
7 Kua pau hoki a Hakopa i a ratou, kua ururua i a ratou tona nohoanga.
For thei eeten Jacob; and maden desolat his place.
8 Kaua ra e maharatia nga kino o o matou tupuna; kia hohoro tou aroha ki mua i a matou; kua whakaititia rawatia hoki matou.
Haue thou not mynde on oure elde wickidnesses; thi mercies bifore take vs soone, for we ben maad pore greetli.
9 Awhinatia matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga, kia whakakororiatia ai tou ingoa: whakaorangia matou, hipokina hoki o matou hara, he mahara ki tou ingoa.
God, oure heelthe, helpe thou vs, and, Lord, for the glorie of thi name delyuer thou vs; and be thou merciful to oure synnes for thi name.
10 Kia mea koia nga tauiwi, Kei hea to ratou Atua? Kia kite atu matou e matau ana nga tauiwi ki te whakatakinga i te toto o au pononga i whakahekea nei.
Lest perauenture thei seie among hethene men, Where is the God of hem? and be he knowun among naciouns bifore oure iyen. The veniaunce of the blood of thi seruauntis, which is sched out; the weilyng of feterid men entre in thi siyt.
11 Kia tae atu ki tou aroaro te aue a te herehere: kia rite ki te nui o tou kaha tau whakaora i te hunga e meatia ana kia mate.
Vpe the greetnesse of thin arm; welde thou the sones of slayn men.
12 Takiwhitutia atu te utu e hoatu e koe ki nga uma o o matou hoa mo ta ratou tawai, e tawai nei ratou ki a koe, e te Ariki.
And yelde thou to oure neiyboris seuenfoold in the bosum of hem; the schenschip of hem, which thei diden schenschipfuli to thee, thou Lord.
13 Penei ka whakawhetai matou, tau iwi, nga hipi hoki e hepara nei koe, ki a koe ake ake: ka whakaitea e matou te whakamoemiti ki a koe, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa.
But we that ben thi puple, and the scheep of thi leesewe; schulen knouleche to thee in to the world. In generacioun and in to generacioun; we schulen telle thin heriyng.
