Tangi 1
1 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!
How! - she sits alone the city great of people she has become like a widow ([one] great *L(abh)*) among the nations a princess among the provinces she has become forced labor.
2 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.
Bitterly she weeps in the night and tear[s] her [are] on cheek her not [belongs] to her a comforter from all lovers her all friends her they have dealt treacherously with her they have become of her enemies.
3 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.
She has gone into exile Judah from affliction and from an abundance of servitude her she dwells among the nations not she has found a resting place all pursuers her they have overtaken her between the narrow places.
4 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.
[the] roads of Zion [are] mourning because not [those who] come an appointed feast all gates her [are] desolate priests her [are] groaning virgins her [are] grieving and she it is bitter to her.
5 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.
They have become opponents her a head enemies her they are at ease for Yahweh he has caused grief to her on [the] multitude of transgressions her children her they have gone captivity before an opponent.
6 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.
And it has gone out (from from [the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Zion all splendor her they have become princes her like deer [which] not they have found pasture and they have gone with not strength before a pursuer.
7 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.
She has remembered Jerusalem [the] days of affliction her and homelessness her all precious things her which they were from days of antiquity when fell people her in [the] hand of an opponent and not a helper [belonged] to her they saw her opponents they laughed at annihilation her.
8 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.
Sin she has sinned Jerusalem there-fore impurity she has become all [those who] honored her they despise her for they have seen nakedness her also she has groaned and she has turned away backward.
9 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.
Uncleanness her [was] on skirts her not she remembered outcome her and she has come down wonders not a comforter [belonged] to her see O Yahweh affliction my for it has magnified itself [the] enemy.
10 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.
Hand his he has spread out [the] opponent over all precious things her for it saw nations [which] they went sanctuary its which you had commanded not they will come in the assembly of you.
11 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.
All people its [are] groaning [are] seeking bread they have given (precious things their *Q(K)*) for food to restore life see O Yahweh and look! for I am despised.
12 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?
Not to you O all [those who] pass by of [the] road look and see if there [is] pain like pain my which it has been done to me which he has caused grief Yahweh on [the] day of [the] burning of anger his.
13 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.
From a high place he sent fire in bones my and he mastered it he spread out a net for feet my he made turn back me backward he made me desolate all the day faint.
14 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.
It has been bound on [the] yoke of transgressions my by hand his they are woven together they have come up on neck my he has made feeble strength my he has given me [the] Lord in [the] hands of [those whom] not I am able to stand.
15 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.
He has thrown away all mighty [ones] my - [the] Lord in midst my he has proclaimed on me an appointed meeting to break young men my a winepress he has trodden [the] Lord for [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Judah.
16 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.
On these [things] - I [am] weeping eye my - eye my [is] going down water for he is far from me a comforter [one who] restores life my they are children my desolate for he has prevailed [the] enemy.
17 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.
It has spread out Zion hands its not a comforter [belongs] to it he has commanded Yahweh of Jacob [those] around him [will be] opponents his it has become Jerusalem an impure thing between them.
18 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.
[is] righteous He Yahweh for mouth his I have been rebellious listen please O all (the peoples *Q(K)*) and see pain my young women my and young men my they have gone in captivity.
19 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.
I called to lovers my they they deceived me priests my and elders my in the city they perished for they sought food for themselves so they may be restored life their.
20 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.
See O Yahweh for distress [belongs] to me inward parts my they are in turmoil it has been overturned heart my in inner being my for extremely I have been rebellious from outside it has bereaved a sword [is] in the house like death.
21 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.
They heard that [was] groaning I not a comforter [belonged] to me all enemies my they heard distress my they rejoiced for you you have acted you have brought [the] day [which] you proclaimed and they may be like me.
22 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.
May it come all wickedness their before you and deal severely to them just as you have dealt severely to me on all transgressions my for [are] many groaning my and heart my [is] faint.
