Chapter 115

1 Aua ki a mātou, e Ihowā, aua ki a mātou, engari me hoatu te korōria ki tōu ingoa; whakaaroa tōu aroha, tōu pono.

2 Kia mea koia ngā tauiwi; "Kei hea ianei tō rātou Atua?"

3 Kei te rangi ia tō mātou Atua; kua meatia e ia ngā mea katoa i pai ai ia.

4 He hiriwa ā rātou whakapakoko, he kōura, he mahi nā te ringa tāngata.

5 He māngai ō rātou, ā, kāhore e kōrero; he kanohi ō rātou, ā, kāhore e kite.

6 He taringa ō rātou, ā, kāhore e rongo: he ihu ō rātou, ā, kāhore e hongi.

7 He ringa ō rātou, ā, kāhore e whāwhā; he waewae ō rātou, ā, kāhore e haere; kāhore hoki ō rātou korokoro e kōrero.

8 Ka rite ki a rātou ō rātou kaihanga; āe rā, te hunga katoa anō e whakawhirinaki ana ki a rātou.

9 E Īharaira, whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowā! Ko ia tō rātou āwhina, tō rātou whakangungu rākau.

10 E te whare o Ārona, whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowā! Ko ia tō rātou āwhina, tō rātou whakangungu rākau.

11 E te hunga e wehi ana i a Ihowā, whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowā! Ko ia tō rātou āwhina, tō rātou whakangungu rākau.

12 Kua mahara a Ihowā ki a tātou; māna tātou e manaaki; māna e manaaki te whare o Īharaira; māna e manaaki te whare o Ārona;

13 ka manaakitia e ia te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowā, te iti, te rahi.

14 Ka tāpiritia anō e Ihowā ki a koutou, ki a koutou tahi ko ā koutou tamariki.

15 He manaakitanga koutou nā Ihowā, nā te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.

16 Ko ngā rangi, he rangi nō Ihowā; ko te whenua ia, he mea hōmai nāna ki ngā tama a te tangata.

17 E kore ngā tūpāpaku e whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā; me te hunga katoa anō e heke ana ki te wahangūtanga.

18 Ko mātou ia ka whakapai ki a Ihowā āianei, ā ake ake. Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!
