Ehekiera 27
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Kia anga atu akuanei tau tangi, e te tama a te tangata, ki a Taira;
Thou therefore, O son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre:
3 Mea atu hoki ki a Taira, E koe e noho nei i te tapokoranga mai o te moana, ko koe nei te kaihokohoko o nga iwi ki nga motu maha, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; E Taira, kua mea na koe, Ko ahau te mea ataahua rawa.
