Ehekiera 27
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
2 Kia anga atu akuanei tau tangi, e te tama a te tangata, ki a Taira;
“You, son of man, take up a lamentation over 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.
and tell Tyre, ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, the Lord GOD says: “You, Tyre, have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’

“‘“The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise. You were replenished and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.
26 I kawea koe e ou kaihoe ki nga wai maha; i pakarua koe e te hau marangai ki waenga moana.
Your rowers have brought you into great waters. The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.
27 Ko ou taonga, ko au hokohokonga, ko au whakawhitiwhitinga, ko au kaiwhakatere kaipuke, ko au kaiurungi, ko au kaimono, me nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti i ou taonga, me au hoia katoa i roto i a koe, i roto ano i tou hui katoa i waenganui i a koe, ka tak a ratou ki waenga moana i te ra e hinga ai koe.
Your riches, your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, your pilots, your repairers of ship seams, the dealers in your merchandise, and all your men of war who are in you, with all your company which is among you, will fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.
28 Ka ngateri a waho o te pa i te ngangau, i te hamama o au kaiurungi.
At the sound of the cry of your pilots, the pasture lands will shake.
29 Na, ko nga kaihapai hoe katoa, ko nga kaiwhakatere, ko nga kaiurungi katoa o te moana, ka mahuta mai i runga i o ratou kaipuke, ka tu ki te tuawhenua,
All who handle the oars, the mariners and all the pilots of the sea, will come down from their ships. They will stand on the land,
30 A ka meinga e ratou to ratou reo mou kia rangona, tiwerawera ana ta ratou tangi, ka opehia ano e ratou he puehu ki o ratou mahunga, ka takaoriori ki te pungarehu.
and will cause their voice to be heard over you, and will cry bitterly. They will cast up dust on their heads. They will wallow in the ashes.
31 Moremore rawa ratou i te whakaaro ki a koe, he kakahu taratara te whitiki, mamae rawa te ngakau, tiwerawera te tangi e tangi ai ratou ki a koe.
They will make themselves bald for you, and clothe themselves with sackcloth. They will weep for you in bitterness of soul, with bitter mourning.
32 I a ratou ano e tangi ana, ka maranga ta ratou tangi apakura mou, ka uhunga ratou ki a koe, ka mea, Ko tehea pa i rite ki Taira, ki tenei i whakawahangutia nei i waenga moana?
In their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, ‘Who is there like Tyre, like her who is brought to silence in the middle of the sea?’
33 I te putanga atu o ou taonga i nga moana, he maha nga iwi i makona i tau; i whai taonga nga kingi o te whenua i a koe, i te nui hoki o ou taonga, o ou rawa.
When your wares came from the seas, you filled many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
34 I te wa i pakaru ai koe i nga moana, ki nga wahi hohonu o te moana, i taka ou rawa, me tou hui katoa i waenganui i a koe.
In the time that you were broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell within you.
35 Ko nga tangata katoa o nga motu, ketekete ana ki a koe, nui atu te wehi o o ratou kingi, ko o ratou mata kohukihuki ana.
All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid. They are troubled in their face.
36 Ka whakahi mai ki a koe nga kaihokohoko i roto i nga iwi; ka ai koe hei whakawehi; a kore tonu ake koe ake ake.
The merchants among the peoples hiss at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will be no more.”’”
