Chapter 25
1 Ka ara nei tōku wairua ki a koe, e Ihowā;
2 e tōku Atua, ko koe tōku whakawhirinakitanga; kei whakamā ahau, aua ōku hoariri e tukua kia whakaputa ki ahau.
3 Āe, aua tētahi o te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e tukua kia whakamā; kia whakamā te hunga e tinihanga noa ana.
4 Whakakitea ki ahau āu ara, e Ihowā; whakaakona ahau ki āu huarahi.
5 Ārahina ahau i tōu pono, whakaakona hoki ahau; ko koe hoki te Atua o tōku whakaoranga; pau noa te rā i ahau e tatari nei ki a koe.
6 E Ihowā, kia mahara ki āu mahi tohu, ki āu mahi aroha; nōnamata riro hoki ēnā.
7 Kaua e maharatia ngā hara o tōku tamarikitanga, me ōku kino; mahara mai koe ki ahau, e Ihowā, kia rite ki tāu mahi tohu, kia whakaaro ki tōu pai.
8 He pai, he tika a Ihowā, ā, ka whakaakona e ia te hunga hara ki te huarahi.
9 Ka ārahina e ia te hunga māhaki i runga i te whakawā; ka ākona hoki e ia te hunga māhaki ki tāna ara.
10 He mahi tohu, he pono ngā ara katoa o Ihowā ki te hunga e pupuri ana i tāna kawenata, i āna whakaaturanga.
11 Kia mahara ki tōu ingoa, e Ihowā, ā, murua tōku kino, he nui nei hoki.
12 Ko wai te tangata e wehi ana ki a Ihowā? Ka whakaako ia i a ia ki te ara e pai ai ia.
13 Ka noho tōna wairua i runga i te pai, ā, ka riro te whenua i tōna uri.
14 Kei te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te mea ngaro a Ihowā; ā, māna e whakakite ki a rātou tāna kawenata.
15 E tau tonu ana ōku kanohi ki a Ihowā; māna hoki e unu ake ōku waewae i te kupenga.
16 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau; he mokemoke hoki ahau, e mamae ana te ngākau.
17 Kua whakanuia ngā whakapāwera o tōku ngākau; whakaputaina ahau i roto i ngā mea e pēhi nei i ahau.
18 Tirohia tōku mate me tōku mamae, ā, murua katoatia ōku hara.
19 Tirohia mai ōku hoariri, he tokomaha hoki rātou; ā, he nanakia te kino e kino nei rātou ki ahau.
20 Tiakina tōku wairua, ā, whakaorangia ahau; kei whakamā ahau; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a koe.
21 Tukua mā te ngākau tapatahi, mā te tika ahau e tiaki; e tūmanako ana hoki ahau ki a koe.
22 Hokona, e te Atua, a Īharaira i roto i ōna whakapāwera katoa.
