Lamentations 1
1 How lonely lies the city, once so full of people! She who was great among the nations has become a widow. The princess of the provinces has become a slave.
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!
2 She weeps aloud in the night, with tears upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
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.
3 Judah has gone into exile under affliction and harsh slavery; she dwells among the nations but finds no place to rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
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.
4 The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gates are deserted; her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she herself is bitter with anguish.
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.
5 Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. For the LORD has brought her grief because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone away as captives before the enemy.
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.
6 All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; they lack the strength to flee in the face of the hunter.
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.
7 In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands she received no help. Her enemies looked upon her, laughing at her downfall.
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.
8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her now despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away.
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.
9 Her uncleanness stains her skirts; she did not consider her end. Her downfall was astounding; there was no one to comfort her. Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!
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 The adversary has seized all her treasures. For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary— those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly.
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 All her people groan as they search for bread. They have traded their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. Look, O LORD, and consider, for I have become despised.
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 Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see! Is there any sorrow like mine, which was inflicted on me, which the LORD made me suffer on the day of His fierce anger?
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 He sent fire from on high, and it overpowered my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.
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 My transgressions are bound into a yoke, knit together by His hand; they are draped over my neck, and the Lord has broken my strength. He has delivered me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.
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 The Lord has rejected all the mighty men in my midst; He has summoned an army against me to crush my young warriors. Like grapes in a winepress, the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
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 For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.
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 Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed against Jacob that his neighbors become his foes. Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
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 The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against His command. Listen, all you people; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into captivity.
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 called out to my lovers, but they have betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
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 See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am churning within; my heart is pounding within me, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is death.
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 People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that You have caused it. May You bring the day You have announced, so that they may become like me.
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 Let all their wickedness come before You, and deal with them as You have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is faint.
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.
