Tangi 2

1 Taukiri e! te taupokinga a Ihowa i te tamahine a Hiona ki te kapua, i a ia e riri ana! kua maka iho e ia te ataahua o Iharaira i runga i te rangi ki te whenua; kihai ano i mahara ki tona turanga waewae i te ra i riri ai ia.

ALEPH. O how the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with gloom in his fury! O how he has thrown down from heaven to earth the famous one of Israel, and he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his fury.

2 Kua horomia e te Ariki nga nohoanga katoa o Hakopa, kihai i tohungia: i a ia i riri ra, wahia iho e ia nga pa kaha o te tamahine a Hura; tae tonu ki te whenua: poke iho i a ia te kingitanga me ona rangatira.

BETH. The Lord has cast down, and he has not been lenient, with all the beauties of Jacob. In his fury, he has destroyed the fortifications of the virgin of Judah, and he has thrown them down to the ground. He has polluted the kingdom and its leaders.

3 Poutoa katoatia atu ana e ia te hoana o Iharaira i tona riri e mura ana; whakahokia mai ana e ia ki muri tona ringa matau i te aroaro o te hoariri; ngiha mai ana ia ki a Hakopa, ano he mura ahi e kai ana i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

GHIMEL. In the anger of his fury, he has broken the entire horn of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the face of the enemy. And he has kindled within Jacob a flaming fire, devouring all around.

4 Kua piko i a ia tana kopere, koia ano kei ta te hoariri; ko tona ringa matau i a ia i tu ra, rite tonu ki to te hoa whawhai, tukitukia ana e ia te hunga katoa i ahuareka mai ki te titiro atu: i roto i te tapenakara o te tamahine a Hiona, ano he a hi tona riri e ringihia mai ana e ia.

DALETH. He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has fixed his right hand like an adversary. And he has cut down all that was beautiful to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion. He has poured out his indignation like fire.

5 Kua rite te Ariki ki te hoariri, kua horomia e ia a Iharaira; kua horomia e ia ona whare kingi katoa, kua whakamotitia e ia ona pa taiepa: a kua whakanuia e ia te tangi me te aue o te tamahine a Hura.

HE. The Lord has become like an enemy. He has thrown down Israel. He has thrown down all of his defenses. He has torn apart his fortifications. And he has filled the daughter of Judah with humbled men and humbled women.

6 Kua takiritia e ia tona tihokahoka, ano no te kari: moti iho i a ia tona wahi whakaminenga: kua meinga e Ihowa te huihui nui me te hapati kia warewaretia i roto i Hiona, whakahaweatia iho e ia te kingi raua ko te tohunga i tona riri e aritarita a na.

VAU. And he has torn apart her tent like a garden. He has demolished her tabernacle. In Zion, the Lord has delivered feast and Sabbath into oblivion, and king and priest into disgrace, and into the indignation of his fury.

7 Kua panga atu e te Ariki tana aata, kua weriweri ia ki tona wahi tapu, tukua atu ana e ia nga taiepa o o reira whare kingi ki roto ki te ringa o te hoariri; kua hamama ratou i roto i te whare o Ihowa, me te mea ko te ra o te hakari nui.

ZAIN. The Lord has pushed away his own altar. He has cursed his own sanctuary. He has delivered the walls of its towers into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as if on the day of a solemnity.

8 He whakaaro to Ihowa mo te whakamoti i te taiepa o te tamahine a Hiona; kua oti te aho te whakamaro atu e ia, kahore ano tona ringa i pepeke, whakangaro tonu ia; na reira tangi ana i a ia te pekerangi me te taiepa; raua ngatahi, ngohe kua.

HETH. The Lord has decided to tear down the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out his measuring line, and he has not turned away his hand from perdition. And the rampart has mourned, and with the wall it has been torn apart.

9 Kua totohu ona keti ki roto ki te whenua; kua kore i a ia, kua whati hoki ona tutaki; kei roto tona kingi me ona rangatira i nga tauiwi, kahore nei o reira ture; ae ra, kahore ana poropiti e whiwhi ki te kite na Ihowa.

TETH. Her gates have been buried in the ground. He has ruined and crushed its bars. Her king and her princes are with the Gentiles. There is no law, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.

10 Kei runga i te whenua nga kaumatua o te tamahine a Hiona e noho ana, whakarongo kau ana: opehia ake e ratou he puehu ki runga ki o ratou mahunga; whitiki rawa te kakahu taratara; ko nga wahine o Hiruharama, tuohu tonu o ratou mahunga ki te whenu a.

JOD. The elders of the daughter of Zion have become idle; they sit on the ground. They have sprinkled their heads with ashes. They have been wrapped with haircloth. The virgins of Jerusalem have cast their heads down to the ground.

11 Matawaia rawa oku kanohi i te roimata, e ohooho ana oku whekau, kua maringi toku ate ki runga ki te whenua, he meatanga ki te wawahanga o te tamahine a toku iwi; no te mea hemo ana nga kohungahunga me nga mea ngote u i nga huarahi o te pa.

CAPH. My eyes have exhausted their tears. My internal organs have become disturbed. My liver has been poured out on the earth, over the grief of the daughter of my people, when the little ones and the infants passed away in the streets of the town.

12 Kei te ki atu ratou ki o ratou whaea, Kei hea he witi, he waina? I a ratou e hemo ana, e pera ana me te hunga kua patua ki nga huarahi o te pa, e maringi ana o ratou wairua ki nga uma o o ratou whaea.

LAMED. They said to their mothers, “Where is the wheat and the wine?” when they fell like the wounded in the streets of the city, when they breathed out their lives into the bosoms of their mothers.

13 Ko te aha taku hei whakaatu ki a koe? ko te aha e waiho e ahau hei ahua mou, e te tamahine a Hiruharama? Ko wai e waiho e ahau hei rite ki a koe, e whakamarie ai ahau i a koe, e te tamahine wahine a Hiona? He nui hoki tou pakaru, koia ano kei te moana; ko wai hei rongoa i a koe?

MEM. To what shall I compare you, or to what shall I liken you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what shall I equate you, so as to console you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your destruction is as great as the sea. Who will cure you?

14 Ko nga mea i kitea e ou poropiti mou, he teka, he mea horihori; kihai ano i hurahia e ratou tou he, e hoki ai koe i te whakarau; heoi ano ta ratou i kite ai mou he poropititanga wairangi, he mea hei pana atu i a koe.

NUN. Your prophets have seen false and foolish things for you. And they have not laid open your iniquity, so as to provoke you to repentance. Yet they have seen for you false revelations and banishments.

15 Kei te papaki ringa ki a koe te hunga katoa e tika ana i te ara, e hi ana, ruru ana o ratou mahunga ki te tamahine a Hiruharama; ko ta ratou kupu, Ko te pa ianei tenei i korerotia nei, Ko te tino o te ataahua, Ko te whakahari o te whenua katoa?

SAMECH. All those who passed by the way have clapped their hands over you. They have hissed and shook their heads over the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city of perfect dignity, the joy of all the earth?”

16 Hamama tonu ki a koe nga mangai o ou hoariri katoa; e hi ana, tete ana o ratou niho: e mea ana, Kua horomia ia e tatou: ko te rangi pu ano tenei i taria atu e tatou, kua tupono mai ki a tatou, kua kitea e tatou.

PHE. All your enemies have opened their mouth over you. They have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and they said: “We will devour her. Yes, this is the day we waited for. We have found it, we have seen it.”

17 Kua oti i a Ihowa tana i whakaaro ai; kua whakaritea tana kupu i whakahaua e ia i nga ra o mua: wahia iho e ia, kihai hoki i tohungia; kua meinga e ia te hoariri kia koa ki a koe, kua ara i a ia te haona o ou hoariri.

AIN. The Lord has done what he decided to do. He has fulfilled his word, which he instructed since the days of antiquity. He has destroyed, and he has not been lenient, and he has caused the enemy to rejoice over you, and he has exalted the horn of your adversaries.

18 I karanga o ratou ngakau ki te Ariki, E te taiepa o te tamahine a Hiona, kia rere iho nga roimata ano he awa, i te ao, i te po: kei whakata koe, kei mutu ta te whatu o tou kanohi.

SADE. Their heart cried out to the Lord from the walls of the daughter of Zion. Let tears run down like a torrent throughout the day and the night. Do not give rest to yourself, and do not allow the pupil of your eye to cease.

19 Maranga, hamama i te po, i te timatanga o nga mataaratanga: ringihia atu tou ngakau ano he wai ki to te Ariki aroaro; kia ara ake ou ringa ki a ia, kia ora ai au kohungahunga e hemo nei i te kai i te ahunga mai o nga huarahi katoa.

COPH. Rise up. Give praise in the night, in the first of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the sight of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him on behalf of the souls of your little ones, who have passed away from famine at the head of all the crossroads.

20 Titiro mai, e Ihowa, whakaaroa ko wai i peneitia e koe! E kai ranei nga wahine i o ratou hua, i nga kohungahunga e hikihikitia ana? Kia patua koia te tohunga me te poropiti ki te wahi tapu o te Ariki?

RES. O Lord, see and consider those whom you have made into such a vintage. So then, shall women eat their own fruit, little ones measured by the palm of the hand? Shall priest and prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?

21 Kei te takoto te taitama raua ko te koroheke i runga i te whenua i nga huarahi; kua hinga aku wahine, aku taitamariki, i te hoari; he mea whakamate nau i te ra i riri ai koe; tukitukia ana e koe, kihai hoki i tohungia.

SIN. The boy and the old man lie down on the ground outside. My virgins and my youths have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of your fury. You have struck down, and you have not shown pity.

22 Kua karanga koe ki oku whakawehi i nga taha katoa, pera i te ra o te huihuinga nui, a kahore tetahi i mawhiti, i mahue ranei i te ra i riri ai a Ihowa: ko aku i hikihiki ai, i whakatuputupu ai, poto ake i toku hoariri.

THAU. You have called, as if to a day of solemnity, those who would terrify me all around. And there was no one, in the day of the fury of the Lord, who escaped or was left behind. Those whom I educated and nourished, my enemy has consumed.
