| 1 | He waiata; he pikitanga. E Ihowa, maharatia a Rawiri, me ona mamaetanga ngakau katoa; |
| 2 | Tana oati ki a Ihowa, tana kupu taurangi ki te Mea Nui o Hakopa; |
| 3 | E kore rawa ahau e tae ki toku whare e noho ai ahau, e eke ranei ki runga ki toku moenga; |
| 4 | E kore ahau e tuku i oku kanohi kia moe, i oku kamo kia nenewha; |
| 5 | Kia kitea ra ano e ahau he wahi mo Ihowa, he nohoanga mo te Mea Nui o Hakopa. |
| 6 | Na i rangona e matou ki Eparata, i kitea ki nga mara o te ngahere. |
| 7 | Ka haere matou ki roto ki ona tapenakara; ka koropiko ki tona turanga waewae. |
| 8 | E ara, e Ihowa, ki tou okiokinga, a koe, me te aaka o tou kaha. |
| 9 | Kia whakakakahuria au tohunga ki te tika; kia hamama tau hunga tapu i te hari. |
| 10 | Whakaaro ki a Rawiri, ki tau pononga: kaua e whakapeaua atu te mata o tau i whakawahi ai. |
| 11 | Kua oati pono a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, e kore ia e tahuri ke i tena; Ka whakanohoia e ahau tetahi hua o tou kopu ki tou torona. |
| 12 | Ki te puritia e au tama taku kawenata, me taku whakaaturanga e ako ai ahau ki a ratou, ka noho ano a ratou tama ki tou torona ake ake. |
| 13 | Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowa a Hiona; kua hiahiatia e ia hei nohoanga mona. |
| 14 | Ko toku okiokinga tenei ake ake; ko konei ahau noho ai, kua hiahiatia hoki e ahau. |
| 15 | Ka manaakitia rawatia e ahau tana kai; ka whakamakonatia e ahau ona rawakore ki te taro. |
| 16 | Ka whakakakahuria hoki e ahau ona tohunga ki te whakaoranga; a ka hamama tona hunga tapu i te hari. |
| 17 | Ka meinga e ahau kia pihi ki reira te haona o Rawiri: kua whakapaia e ahau he rama mo taku i whakawahi ai. |
| 18 | Ka whakakakahuria e ahau ona hoariri ki te whakama; a ka matomato tona karauna i runga i a ia. |
