Lamentations (1/5) →

Taukiri e! noho mokemoke ana te pa i ki nei i te tangata! Ano tona rite he pouaru! kua waiho hei hoatu takoha te mea i nui nei i roto i nga iwi, te rangatira i roto i nga kawanatanga!

Nui atu tana tangi i te po, a kei ona paparinga ona roimata: i roto i te hunga katoa i aroha ki a ia, kahore he kaiwhakamarie mona; kua tinihanga ona hoa ki a ia, kua meinga ratou hei hoariri mona.

Kua haere a Hura ki te whakarau, he tangi hoki, he whakamahinga nui; kei te noho ia i roto i nga tauiwi, kahore e kitea e ia he tanga manawa: kua hopukia ia e ona kaiwhai katoa i roto i nga wahi kuiti.

Kei te tangi nga ara o Hiona, no te mea kahore he tangata e haere mai ana ki te huihuinga nui; kua ururuatia ona kuwaha katoa, e aue ana ana tohunga, ko ana wahine kei te pouri, a ko ia, kei roto ia i te mamae.

Kua waiho ona hoariri hei upoko, kei te noho humarie ona hoa whawhai; no te mea kua whiua ia e Ihowa mo ona he maha: kua riro ana tamariki hei parau i te aroaro o te hoariri.

Kua wehe atu i te tamahine a Hiona tona nui katoa: kua rite ona rangatira ki nga hata kihai i pono ki te wahi kai, haere kahakore ana ratou i te aroaro o te kaiwhai.

E mahara ana a Hiruharama i nga ra o tona tangi, o ona wherutanga, ki ana mea ahuareka katoa o nga ra o mua: i te takanga o tona iwi ki roto ki te ringa o te hoariri, a kahore he kaiawhina mona, ka kite nga hoariri i a ia, ka kata ki ona mutunga.

Nui atu te hara o Hiruharama; na reira ia i meinga ai, ano hei mea poke: ko te hunga katoa i whakahonore i a ia, whakahawea ana ki a ia, no te mea kua kite ratou i tona tahangatanga: ae ra, kei te aue ia, kei te hoki ki muri.

Kei ona kurupatu tona poke, kahore ona mahara ki tona whakamutunga; na reira he hanga whakamiharo tona tukunga iho ki raro: kahore he kaiwhakamarie mona: e Ihowa, titiro mai ki toku mate: kua whakahirahira hoki te hoariri i a ia.

10.

Kua wherahia atu te ringa o te hoariri ki runga ki ana mea ahuareka katoa; kua kite nei ia i nga iwi e tomo mai ana ki tona wahi tapu, era i ako ra koe kia kaua ratou e uru ki tau whakaminenga.

11.

Kei te aue tona iwi katoa; kei te rapu taro ratou: e hoatu ana e ratou a ratou mea ahuareka hei utu kai, hei whakahauora ake mo te wairua: titiro mai, e Ihowa, whakaaro mai, kua whakahouhou hoki ahau.

12.

He kahore noa iho tenei ki a koutou, e koutou e haere nei i te ara? Whakaaro mai, titiro mai, e rite ana ranei tetahi mamae ki toku mamae, e mahia nei moku, ki ta Ihowa nei whiu moku i te ra i mura ai tona riri?

13.

Kua tukua iho nei e ia i runga, he ahi ki oku wheua, a e wera ana i tera: kua horahia e ia he kupenga mo oku waewae, kua whakahokia ahau ki muri; kua tukua ahau e ia ki te kahore, ki te whakaruhi, a pau noa te ra.

14.

Ko te ioka o oku he herea iho e tona ringa, whiri rawa, kua eke ake ki runga ki toku kaki: kua he i a ia toku kaha, kua tukua ahau e te Ariki ki te ringa tangata, a kahore oku kaha ki te whakatika ake.

15.

Kua kore noa iho i te Ariki oku marohirohi katoa i roto i ahau; kua karangatia e ia he huihui ki ahau hei wawahi i aku taitama: kua takatakahia e te Ariki te tamahine wahine a Hura, ano he takahanga waina.

16.

Na enei mea ahau i tangi ai: ko toku kanohi, tarere ana te wai o toku kanohi: no te mea kei tawhiti atu i ahau te kaiwhakamarie hei whakahauora ake i toku wairua: ko aku tamariki kei te noho kau noa iho, no te mea kua kaha te hoariri.

17.

Kua wherahia e Hiona ona ringa; kahore he kaiwhakamarie mona; na Ihowa te whakahau mo Hakopa, hei hoariri mona te hunga e karapoti ana i a ia: kua rite a Hiruharama i roto i a ratou ki te wahine e paheke ana.

18.

He tika hoki a Ihowa; i whakakeke hoki ahau ki tana kupu: tena whakarongo mai, e nga iwi katoa, titiro mai hoki ki toku mamae; kua riro aku wahine, aku taitama, i te whakarau.

19.

I karanga ahau ki te hunga i aroha ki ahau, heoi kei te tinihanga ki ahau; ko oku tohunga, ko oku kaumatua, hemo noa iho ratou i roto i te pa, i a ratou e rapu kai ana ma ratou hei whakahauora ake i o ratou wairua.

20.

Titiro mai, e Ihowa, he mamae hoki toku, e ohooho ana oku whekau; ko toku ngakau hurikiko ana i roto i ahau: he nui noa atu hoki toku whakakeke: i waho ko te hoari ki te whakamoti, i roto kei te mate te rite.

21.

Kua rongo ratou kei te aue ahau, te ai he kaiwhakamarie moku: kua rongo oku hoariri katoa ki toku matenga, koa ana ratou ki tau i mea ai: ka kawea mai e koe te ra i karangatia e koe, a ka rite ratou ki ahau.

22.

Kia tae to ratou kino katoa ki tou aroaro: meatia ano ki a ratou tau i mea mai ai ki ahau mo oku he katoa: ka maha nei hoki oku auetanga; ko toku ngakau whakaruhi rawa.
