Chapter 119

 ¶ AREPE Ka hari te hunga he tapatahi nei i te ara, e haere nei i te ture a Ihowa.

 Ka hari te hunga e mau ana ki ana whakaaturanga; e whakapaua ana o ratou ngakau ki te rapu i a ia.

 Ae, e kore ratou e mahi i te kino; e haere ana ratou i ana ara.

 ¶ Kua oti matou te whakahau ki au akoranga, kia ata puritia e matou.

 Aue, me i whakatikaia toku ara ki te pupuri i au akoranga!

 Ko reira ahau ka kore ai e whakama: i ahau ka whai whakaaro nei ki au whakahau katoa.

 ¶ Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te ngakau tika, ina ako ahau i au whakaritenga tika.

 Ka puritia e ahau au tikanga: kaua ahau e whakarerea rawatia. PETA

 ¶ He aha te mea e ma ai i te taitamariki tona ara? kia rite ki tau kupu tana whakamaharatanga iho.

 ¶ Kua whakapaua e ahau toku ngakau ki te rapu i a koe: kaua ahau e tukua kia kotiti ke i au whakahau.

 ¶ Kua whakatakotoria e ahau tau kupu ki roto ki toku ngakau, kei hara ahau ki a koe.

 ¶ E Ihowa, ka whakapaingia koe: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.

 ¶ Kua whakapuakina e oku ngutu nga whakaritenga katoa a tou mangai.

 Ko toku koa i te ara o au whakaaturanga, me te mea mo nga taonga katoa.

 Ka whakaaroaro ahau ki au ako, a ka whai mahara ki au huarahi.

 He oranga ngakau ki ahau au tikanga: e kore ahau e wareware ki tau kupu. KIMERE

 ¶ Kia atawhai ki tau pononga, kia ora ai ahau; kia puritia ai hoki tau kupu.

 ¶ Whakatirohia oku kanohi kia kite ai ahau i nga mea whakamiharo i roto i tau ture.

 ¶ He manene ahau i runga i te whenua: kaua au whakahau e huna ki ahau.

 ¶ Ka ngawha toku wairua i te matenui atu ki au whakaritenga i nga wa katoa.

 ¶ Kua riria e koe te hunga whakakake kua oti nei te kanga, e kotiti ke nei i au whakahau.

 ¶ Parea atu i ahau te tawai me te whakahawea: kua mau hoki ahau ki au whakaaturanga.

 ¶ I noho ano hoki nga rangatira ki te korero kino moku: otira e whakaaro ana tau pononga ki au tikanga.

 ¶ Ko au whakaaturanga ano toku oranga ngakau, oku hoa whakatakoto whakaaro. TARETE

 ¶ Piri tonu toku wairua ki te puehu; whakahauoratia ahau kia rite ki atu kupu.

 ¶ I whakaaturia e ahau oku ara, a whakahoki kupu ana koe ki ahau: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.

 Meinga ahau kia matau ki te ara o au ako: kia whakaaroaro ai ahau ki au mahi whakamiharo.

 ¶ E maturuturu iho ana toku wairua i te pouri: kia rite ki tau kapu tau whakau ake i ahau.

 Whakamataratia atu i ahau te ara o te teka: kia atawhai mai hoki, a homai tau ture.

 ¶ Kua whiriwhiria e ahau te ara o te pono: ka waiho e ahau au whakaritenga ki toku aroaro.

 Piri tonu ahau ki au whakaaturanga: e Ihowa, kei whakama ahau.

 Ka oma ahau i te ara o au whakahau, ina whakanuia e koe toku ngakau. HE

 ¶ E Ihowa, whakaakona ahau ki te ara o au tikanga: a ka mau i ahau taea noatia te mutunga.

 Homai he matauranga ki ahau, a ka mau i ahau tau ture; ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te pupuri.

 ¶ Meinga ahau kia haere i te ara o au whakahau; ko taku hoki tena e whakaahuareka nei.

 Whakaangahia toku ngakau ki au whakaaturanga; kaua hoki ki te apo.

 ¶ Whakatahuritia ketia oku kanohi kei kite i te horihori: whakahauorangia ahau i tau ara.

 ¶ Whakapumautia tau kupu ki tau pononga, e wehi nei ki a koe.

 ¶ Parea atu toku tawainga, e wehi nei ahau: he pai hoki au whakaritenga.

 ¶ Nana, kua matenui ahau ki au ako: whakahauorangia ahau i runga i tou tika. WHAU

 ¶ Kia puta ano au mahi tohu ki ahau, e Ihowa: ara tau whakaoranga, kia rite ki tau kupu.

 Penei ka whai kupu maku ki toku kaitawai; noku ka whakawhirinaki ki tau kupu.

 ¶ Kaua e tangohia rawatia i toku mangai te kupu o te pono: e tumanako nei hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.

 Penei ka puritia e ahau tau ture ake ake.

 ¶ A ka haereere noa ahau; kua rapua hoki e ahau au akoranga.

 Ka korerotia ano e ahau au whakaaturanga ki te aroaro o nga kingi, e kore ano e whakama.

 A ka waiho e ahau hei oranga ngakau moku au whakahau e aroha nei ahau.

 Ka toro atu hoki oku ringa ki au whakahau e aroha nei ahau, ka whakaaroaro ano ki au tikanga. TAINE

 ¶ Maharatia te kupu ki tau pononga, no te mea kua meinga ahau e koe kia tumanako atu.

 ¶ Ko toku oranga ngakau tenei i ahau e tangi nei: na tau kupu nei hoki ahau i whakahauora.

 ¶ Nui rawa te whakahi ki ahau o te hunga whakakake: heoi kihai ahau i peka ke i tau ture.

 ¶ I mahara ahau ki au whakaritenga, e Ihowa, o tua iho; a marie ana toku ngakau.

 ¶ Mau pu ahau i te pawera, mo te hunga kino kua whakarere nei i tau ture.

 ¶ Ko au tikanga aku e himene ai i te whare i noho manene ai ahau.

 ¶ I mahara ahau ki tou ingoa i te po, e Ihowa: a puritia ana e ahau tau ture.

 I ahau tenei, he mau noku ki au ako. KETE

 ¶ Ko Ihowa toku wahi: kua mea nei ahau, ka pupuri ahau i au kupu.

 ¶ I whakapaua toku ngakau ki te inoi ki a koe kia pai mai: kia rite ki tau kupu tau mahi tohu ki ahau.

 ¶ I whakaaro ahau ki oku ara: a anga ana oku waewae ki au whakaaturanga.

 I hohoro ahau, a kihai i whakaroa ki te pupuri i au whakahau.

 ¶ Karapotia putia ana ahau e nga here a te hunga kino: kihai ia ahau i wareware ki tau ture.

 ¶ I waenganui po ka ara ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe mo au whakaritenga tika.

 ¶ He hoa ahau no te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a koe; no te hunga ano e pupuri ana i au ako.

 ¶ Ki tonu, e Ihowa, te whenua i tau mahi tohu: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga. TETE

 ¶ Pai rawa tau hanga ki tau pononga, e Ihowa; rite tonu ki tau kupu.

 Whakaakona ahau ki te ngarahu pai, ki te matauranga: kua whakapono hoki ahau ki au whakahau.

 ¶ I ahau kiano i whakawhiua, i he ahau: tena ko tenei ka puritia e ahau tau kupu.

 ¶ He pai koe, he pai hoki au mahi: whakaakona ahau ki au tikanga.

 ¶ Kua titoa e te hunga whakakake he teka moku: ka whakapaua toku ngakau ki te pupuri i au ako.

 He ngako rawa to ratou ngakau, koia ano kei te taupa: ko ahau ia, he oranga ngakau ki ahau tau ture.

 ¶ Marie ano ahau kia pehia e te pouri; i ako ai ahau i au tikanga.

 ¶ Ko te ture a tou mangai pai ke atu ki ahau i nga mano o te koura, o te hiriwa. IOTA

 ¶ Na ou ringa ahau i hanga, i whakawhaiahua: homai he matauranga ki ahau, kia ako ai ahau ki au whakahau.

 ¶ Ka hari te hunga e wehi ana i a koe ina kite i ahau: noku i tumanako ki tau kupu.

 ¶ E matau ana ahau, e Ihowa, he tika au whakaritenga; a he pono nou i pehia ai toku ngakau e koe.

 ¶ Tena ra, waiho tau mahi tohu hei whakamarie moku; kia rite ki tau kupu ki tau pononga.

 Kia puta ki ahau au mahi aroha, kia ora ai ahau; ko tau ture hoki toku oranga ngakau.

 ¶ Kia whakama te hunga whakakake; no te mea kahore he take i he ai ta ratou hanga ki ahau; ko ahau ia ka whakaaroaro ki au akoranga.

 Ko te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe me anga ki ahau, a ka mohio ratou ki au whakaaturanga.

 ¶ Kia tapatahi toku ngakau ki au tikanga; kei whakama ahau. KAPA

 ¶ E matenui ana toku wairua ki tau whakaoranga: otiia ka tumanako ahau ki tau kupu.

 Matawaia ana oku kanohi, he meatanga ki tau kupu, i ahau e mea ana, Ahea koe whakamarie ai i ahau?

 ¶ Kua rite nei hoki ahau ki te koki i roto i te paoa: he ahakoa e kore ahau e wareware ki au tikanga.

 ¶ E hia nga ra o tau pononga? a hea koe whakarite whakawa ai mo te hunga e tukino nei i ahau?

 ¶ Kua keri poka te hunga whakakake moku; he mea kahore e rite ki tau ture.

 Pono tonu au whakahau katoa: e tukino takekore ana ratou i ahau; awhinatia mai ahau.

 Wahi iti kua moti ahau i a ratou i runga i te whenua: otira kihai i mahue i ahau au akoranga.

 ¶ Kia rite ki tou aroha tau whakahauora i ahau: a ka puritia e ahau nga whakaaturanga a tou mangai. RAMERE

 ¶ Pumau tonu tau kupu, e Ihowa, ake ake i runga i te rangi.

 Kei nga whakatupuranga katoa tou pono: whakaungia ana e koe te whenua, a e tu nei ano.

 E tu nei ano inaianei, pera tonu me tau i whakarite ai, he pononga hoki nga mea katoa nau.

 ¶ Me kaua tau ture hei oranga mo toku ngakau, kua ngaro ahau i reira i toku auetanga.

 ¶ E kore rawa ahau e wareware ki au ako, he mea whakahauora hoki nau ena i ahau.

 ¶ Nau ahau, mau ahau e whakaora: kua rapua hoki e ahau au ako.

 ¶ Kua tatari te hunga kino ki ahau kia whakamatea: ka whakaaro ia ahau ki au whakaaturanga.

 ¶ Ano toku aroha ki tau ture! Ko taku tena e whakaaroaro ai i te roa o te ra.

 ¶ Nau i hira ake ai oku whakaaro i o oku hoariri, na au whakahau, e piri tonu nei ki ahau.

 Nui atu oku mahara i o oku kaiwhakaako katoa: noku i whakaaroaro tonu ki au whakaaturanga.

 Tera atu toku mohio i to nga kaumatua, no te mea i pupuri ahau i au ako.

 ¶ Kua kaiponuhia mai e ahau oku waewae i nga ara kino katoa, kia pupuri ai ahau i tau kupu.

 ¶ Kihai ahau i titaha i au whakaritenga; nau hoki ahau i ako.

 ¶ Ano te reka o au kupu ki toku ngao; ae ra, reka atu i te honi ki toku mangai.

 Na au ako ahau i whai mohio ai: na reira ahau i kino ai ki nga ara teka katoa. NUNU

 ¶ Kua oati ahau, a ka whakamana ano e ahau: kia puritia e ahau au whakaritenga tika.

 ¶ He nui te mamae o toku ngakau: whakahauorangia ahau, e Ihowa, kia rite ki tau kupu.

 ¶ Manakohia, e Ihowa, nga ohaohatanga a toku mangai, whakaakona hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga.

 ¶ Kei toku ringa tonu toku wairua, heoi kahore ahau e wareware ki tau ture.

 Kua whakatakotoria e te hunga kino he mahanga moku: heoi kahore ahau i peka ke i au ako.

 ¶ Ka waiho e ahau au whakaaturanga hei kainga tupu moku ake ake: ko toku koanga ngakau hoki ena.

 Kua whakaanga e ahau toku ngakau ki te mahi tonu i au tikanga: a te mutunga ra ano. HAMEKE

 ¶ E kino ana ahau ki te hunga whakaaro ruarua; ko tau ture ia taku e aroha ai.

 ¶ Ko toku piringa koe, ko toku whakangungu rakau: e tumanako ana ahau ki tau kupu.

 ¶ Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga kino; ka whakaritea hoki e ahau nga whakahau a toku Atua.

 ¶ Kia rite ki tau kupu tau tautoko ake i ahau, kia ora ai ahau: kaua hoki ahau e tukua kia whakama ki taku e tumanako atu nei.

 Tautokona ake ahau, kia ora ai ahau, a ka whai whakaaro tonu ahau ki au tikanga.

 ¶ Kua whakahaweatia e koe te hunga katoa e kotiti ke ana i au tikanga; he horihori hoki to ratou tinihanga.

 Ka whakakahoretia e koe te hunga kino katoa o te whenua, ano he para mata: koia ahau i aroha ai ki au whakaaturanga.

 Wiri ana oku kikokiko i te wehi ki a koe; e mataku ana hoki ahau ki au whakaritenga. AINE

 ¶ He whakawa tika, he tika taku mahi: kaua ahau e tukua ki oku kaitukino.

 Ko koe hei tuara mo tau pononga mo te pai: kei tukinotia ahau e te hunga whakakake.

 ¶ Matawaia ana oku kanohi i te meatanga ki tau whakaora, ki te kupu hoki o tau tika.

 ¶ Kia rite ki tou aroha tau mahi ki tau pononga: whakaakona hoki ahau ki au tikanga.

 He pononga ahau nau; homai he mahara ki ahau, kia matau ai ki au whakaaturanga.

 ¶ Kua rite te wa hei mahinga ma Ihowa; kua whakakahoretia hoki e ratou tau ture.

 ¶ Na reira i arohaina rawatia ai e ahau au whakahau i te koura, ae, i te tino koura.

 Na reira tika tonu ki ahau au ako katoa mo nga mea katoa: kino iho ano ahau ki nga ara teka katoa. PE

 ¶ He mea whakamiharo au whakaaturanga: i mau ai toku wairua ki reira.

 ¶ Ko te whakapuakanga o au kupu he homai marama; na reira i homai he mahara ki nga kuware.

 ¶ I hamama toku mangai, i kihakiha: he matenui noku ki au whakahau.

 ¶ Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau: kia rite ki tau hanga ki te hunga e aroha ana ki tou ingoa.

 ¶ Whakatikaia oku hikoinga ki runga i tau kupu: kaua hoki tetahi he e tukua hei rangatira moku.

 ¶ Whakaorangia ahau i te tukino a te tangata: a ka puritia e ahau au ako.

 ¶ Kia marama mai tou mata ki tau pononga: whakaakona hoki ahau ki au tikanga.

 ¶ Heke noa nga awa wai o oku kanohi; mo ratou kahore i pupuri i tau ture. TARI

 ¶ He tika koe, e Ihowa, he tika ano au whakaritenga.

 He tika, he pono rawa au whakaaturanga i whakahaua mai e koe.

 ¶ Ka ngaro ahau i toku ngakau whakapuke, mo au kupu ka wareware nei i oku hoariri.

 ¶ Kua pa mai ki ahau te pouri me te mamae: ko au whakahau ia toku oranga ngakau.

 Pumau tonu te tika o au whakaaturanga: homai he mahara ki ahau, a ka ora ahau. KOPO

 ¶ I whakapaua toku ngakau ki te karanga; whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e Ihowa; ka mau i ahau au tikanga.

 I karanga ahau ki a koe: whakaorangia ahau, a ka puritia e ahau au whakaaturanga.

 ¶ Kiano te ata i puao noa, kua karanga ahau: i tumanako ahau ki au kupu.

 I hohoro oku kanohi i nga mataaratanga ki te whakaaroaro ki tau kupu.

 ¶ Whakarongo ki toku reo, kia rite ki tou aroha: kia rite, e Ihowa, ki tau i whakarite ai tau whakahauora i ahau.

 ¶ E Ihowa, he nui au mahi tohu: kia rite ki au whakaritenga tau whakahauora i ahau.

 ¶ He tokomaha oku kaitukino, oku hoariri: heoi kahore ahau i peka ke i au whakaaturanga.

 ¶ I kite ahau i nga kaimahi i te kino, a pouri iho: no ratou kahore e pupuri i tau kupu.

 ¶ Tirohia mai toku aroha ki au ako: kia rite ki tou aroha, e Ihowa, tau whakahauora i ahau.

 ¶ Ko te huinga katoatanga o tau kupu he pono; pumau katoa anao au whakaritenga tika ake ake. HINE

 ¶ Hore he rawa i tukinotia ai ahau e nga rangatira: otiia e wehi ana toku ngakau i tau kupu.

 ¶ E hari ana ahau ki tau kupu: ano he tangata kua whiwhi ki te taonga nui.

 ¶ E kino ana ahau, e whakarihariha ana ki te korero teka: ko tau ture ia taku i aroha ai.

 ¶ Takiwhitu aku whakamoemiti ki a koe i te ra tahi mo au whakaritenga tika.

 ¶ He rangimarie nui to te hunga e aroha ana ki tau ture: e kore hoki o ratou waewae e tutuki.

 ¶ A kua tumanako ahau ki tau whakaora, e Ihowa, kua mahi ahau i au whakahau.
