Psalms 10

He aha koe ka tu mai ai i tawhiti, e Ihowa? ka whakangarongaro ai i nga wa o te he?

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

E whakakake ana te tangata kino, e tukino ana i te tangata iti: kia hopukina ratou ki nga whakaaro i whakaaro ai ratou.

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

E whakapehapeha ana hoki te tnngata kino ki te hiahia o tona ngakau, a ko te hunga apo taonga, e whakakahore ana, ae ra, e whakahawea ana ki a Ihowa.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

Ka mea te tangata kino, i te whakapehapeha o tona mata, E kore e hiahiatia e ia. Kei roto i ona whakaaro katoa e mea ana, Kahore he Atua.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Whanoke tonu ona ara i nga wa katoa; kei runga noa ake au whakaritenga te kitea e ia, he mea whakatupereru e ia ona hoariri katoa.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

E mea ana i roto i tona ngakau, e kore ahau e whakakorikoria: kahore hoki he he moku a nga whakatupuranga katoa.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

Ki tonu tona mangai i te kanga, i te hianga, i te tukino: kei raro i tona arero te whanoke me te teka.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

E noho ana ia, e whanga ana i nga pa koraha: e kohurutia ana e ia te hunga harakore i nga wahi ngaro; e matatau ana ona kanohi ki te hunga rawakore.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

E whanga puku ana ia me he raiona i tona kuhunga: e whanga ana kia hopukia te tangata iti: e hopukia ana e ia te tangata iti, ua kumea ki tana. kupenga.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

Kupapa ana ia, piko ana, hinga ana te hunga rawakore i ana mea kaha.

He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

E mea ana i roto i tona ngakau, Ka wareware te Atua: e huna ana ia i tona mata, e kore ia e kite ake tonu atu.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Whakatika, e Ihowa, e te Atua, takiritia tou ringa: kaua e wareware ki te hunga iti.

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

He aha te tangata kino ka whakahawea ai ki te Atua? kua mea ia i roto i tona ngakau, E kore tenei e whakatakina e koe.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Kua kite koe; e tirohia nei hoki e koe te whanoke me te whakatoi, a ka utua e tou ringa: e tuku ana te rawakore i a ia ano ki a koe; ko koe hei tuara mo te pani.

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

Whatiia e koe te ringa o te tangata kino; tena ko te tangata nanakia, whakatakina tona kino, kia kahore ra ano e kitea e koe.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

Ko Ihowa te Kingi ake ake: kua kahore ke nga tauiwi i tona whenua.

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

E Ihowa, kua whakarongo koe ki te hiahia o te hunga whakaiti: mau ano o ratou ngakau e whakapai, ka tahuri ano tou taringa ki te whakarongo:

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

Ki te whakawa mo te pani, mo te tangata e tukinotia ana, kei whakamataku a mua ake te tangata o te whenua.

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
