< Nahum 3 >

1 Wo to the citee of bloodis, al of leesyng, ful of to-reendyng; raueyn shal not go awei fro thee.
Aue, te mate mo te pa toto! kua ki katoa i te teka, i te pahua; kahore e mutu te muru taonga,
2 Vois of scourge, and vois of bire of wheel, and of hors makynge noise, and of foure horsid carte brennynge, and of kniyt stiynge vp,
Ko te haruru o te whiu, ko te ngaehe o nga wira e keke ana; ko nga hoiho e takatakahi ana, ko nga hariata e tarapekepeke ana;
3 and of schynynge swerd, and glesenynge spere, and of slayn multitude, and of greuouse fallyng, nether ther is eende of careyns. And thei schulen falle togidere in her bodies,
Ko nga kaieke hoiho e ekeeke ana, ko te wheriko o te hoari, ko te kanapa o te tao; ko te tini o te tupapaku, me te puranga nui o nga tinana mate: a kahore he mutunga o nga tinana; tutuki ana te waewae ki o ratou tinana:
4 for the multitude of fornicaciouns of the hoore fair and plesaunt, and hauynge witchecraftis; which seelde folkis in her fornicaciouns, and meynees in her enchauntementis, ether sorceries.
He maha hoki no nga kairautanga o te wahine ataahua i kairau nei; ko te rangatira nei ia o nga makutu, e hoko nei i nga iwi ki ana kairautanga, i nga hapu ano ki ana mahi makutu.
5 Lo! Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis; and Y schal schewe thi schameful thingis in thi face; and Y schal schewe to folkis thi nakidnesse, and to rewmes thin yuel fame.
Nana, hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka hurahia ano e ahau nga remu o tou ki tou aroaro; ka whakakite ano ahau i a koe e noho tahanga ana ki nga iwi, me tou whakama ki nga kingitanga.
6 And Y schal cast out on thee thin abhomynaciouns, and Y schal punysche thee with dispitis, and Y schal putte thee in to ensaumple.
A ka maka e ahau he mea whakarihariha ki runga ki a koe, ka whakaititia koe e ahau, ka meinga hei tirohanga atu.
7 And it schal be, ech man that schal se thee, schal skippe awei fro thee, and schal seie, Nynyue is distried. Who schal moue heed on thee? wherof schal Y seke to thee a coumfortour?
Na, ko te hunga katoa e kite ana i a koe ka rere atu i a koe, a ka mea, Kua ururuatia a Ninewe; ko wai hei tangi ki a ia? me rapu e ahau ki hea he kaiwhakamarie mou?
8 Whether thou art betere than Alisaundre of puplis, that dwellith in floodis? Watris ben in cumpas therof, whos richessis is the see, watris ben wallis therof.
He pai ake ranei koe i Noamono, i tu nei i roto i nga awa, he mea karapoti e nga wai, ko tona pekerangi ko te moana, no te moana ano tona taiepa?
9 Ethiope is strengthe therof, and Egipt, and there is noon ende; Affrik and Libie weren in help therof.
Ko tona kaha ko Etiopia, ko Ihipa, kahore hoki he mutunga; he awhina nou a Putu, a Rupimi.
10 But and it in `passyng ouer is led in to caitifte; the litle children therof ben hurtlid doun in the heed of alle weies. And on the noble men therof thei kesten lot, and alle grete men therof ben set togidere in gyues.
Heoi kua whakaraua atu ia, kua riro hei parau; ko ana kohungahunga taia iho i te ahunga mai o nga ara katoa, mongamonga noa, i maka rota ratou mo ona tangata nunui, ko ona tangata rarahi katoa here rawa ki te mekameka.
11 And thou therfor schalt be drunkun, and schalt be dispisid, and thou schalt seke helpe of enemye.
Tera ano koe ka haurangi, ka huna koe; a ka rapu koe he wahi kaha i te wehi o te hoariri.
12 Al thi strengthis as a fige tree, with hise figis vnripe; if thei schulen be schakun, thei schulen falle in to the mouth of the etere.
Ko ou pa taiepa katoa ka rite ki te piki he hua matamua nei ona: ki te rurerurea, ka taka ki roto ki te mangai o te tangata e kai ana.
13 Lo! thi puple ben wymmen in the myddil of thee; the yatis of thi lond schulen be schewid to openyng to thin enemyes; fier schal deuoure thin herris.
Nana, he wahine ou tangata i waenganui i a koe: ko nga kuwaha o tou whenua tuwhera pu ki ou hoariri; ka pau ou tutaki i te ahi.
14 Drawe vp to thee water for asegyng, bilde thi strengthis; entre in fen, and trede, thou vndurgoynge holde a tiel stoon.
Utuhia he wai mou mo te whakapaenga, whakakahangia ou pa taiepa: haere ki te mahi paru, takatakahia te mea pokepoke, kia u te tahunga pereki.
15 There fier schal ete thee, thou schalt perische bi swerd, it schal deuoure thee, as bruke doith; be thou gaderid togidere as a bruke, be thou multiplied as a locuste.
Ka pau koe i te ahi i reira, ka hatepea atu koe e te hoari, ko tana kai i a koe ka rite ki ta te tatarakihi: whakaraneatia koe, kia rite ki te tatarakihi, whakaraneatia koe, kia rite ki te mawhitiwhiti.
16 Thou madist thi marchaundises mo than ben sterris of heuene; a bruke is spred abrood, and flei awei.
Ko au kaihokohoko whakatokomahatia ake e koe i nga whetu o te rangi: ko ta te tatarakihi he pahua, a rere ana.
17 Thi keperis ben as locustis, and thi litle children ben as locustis of locustis, whiche sitten togidere in heggis in the dai of coold; the sun is risun, and thei fledden awei, and the place of hem is not knowun, where thei weren.
Ko ou tangata i te potae kingi, ko to ratou rite kei te mawhitiwhiti, ko ou rangatira rite tonu ki nga pokai mawhitiwhiti e noho nei i nga taiepa i te ra maeke i te whitinga o te ra ka rere ratou, kahore hoki e mohiotia to ratou wahi, kei hea ra?
18 Thi scheepherdis napten, thou kyng Assur, thi princes schulen be biried; thi puple ofte was hid in hillis, and ther is not that schal gadere.
Kei te moe au hepara, e te kingi o Ahiria; ko au metararahi kei te takoto; kua marara atu tou iwi ki runga ki nga maunga, kahore hoki he kaihuihui.
19 Thi sorewe is not priuy, thi wounde is worst; alle men that herden thin heryng, pressiden togidere hond on thee, for on whom passide not thi malice euermore?
Kahore he whakamahunga i tou pakaru; he mamae rawa tou marutanga: ko te hunga katoa e rongo ana i te rongo ki a koe, ka papaki o ratou ringa ki a koe: i kore hoki ki a wahi te panga tonutanga o tou kino.
