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.
How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
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.
The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
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.
He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours 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.
He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary. He has killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his wrath 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.
The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
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.
He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.
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.
The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in Yahweh’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
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.
Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall lament. They languish together.
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.
Her gates have sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not. Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
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.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground. They keep silence. They have cast up dust on their heads. They have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads 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.
My eyes fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My bile is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
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.
They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
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?
What shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big as the sea. Who can heal 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.
Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.
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?
All that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole 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.
All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked 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.
Yahweh has done that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. 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.
Their heart cried to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief. Don’t let your eyes rest.
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.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
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?
“Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Should the women eat their offspring, the children that they held and bounced on their knees? Should the priest and the 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.
“The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger. You have slaughtered, and not pitied.
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.
“You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
