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, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not 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 habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: he has thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought them down to the ground: he has polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
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 in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours round about.
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 stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury 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 was as an enemy: he has swallowed up Israel, he has swallowed up all her palaces: he has destroyed his strong holds, and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
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.
And he has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he has destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD has caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and has despised in the indignation of his anger 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 up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
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.
The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he has stretched out a line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished 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 are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find 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.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded 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.
Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the 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 say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was 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 thing shall I take to witness for you? what thing shall I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like 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 vain and foolish things for you: and they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn away your captivity; but have seen for you false burdens 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 shake their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call 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 of your enemies have opened their mouth against you: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, 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.
The LORD has done that which he had devised; he has fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he has thrown down, and has not pitied: and he has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, he has set up 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 unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give yourself no rest; let not the apple of your eye 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.
Arise, cry out in the night: in 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, that faint for hunger in the top 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?
Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom you have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain 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 young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; you have slain them in the day of your anger; you have killed, 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 a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up has mine enemy consumed.
