Lamentations 5
Maori Bible
5 Kia mahara, e Ihowa, ki te mea kua pa nei ki a matou: tirohia mai, kia kite ai koe i to matou ingoa kino.
2 Kua riro to matou wahi tupu i nga tangata ke, o matou whare i nga tautangata.
3 He pani matou, kahore he matua, ko o matou whaea ano he pouaru.
4 Na te moni i inu wai ai matou; ko a matou wahie he mea hoko.
5 Kei runga kei o matou kaki o matou kaiwhai: e mauiui ana matou, kahore he tanga manawa mo matou.
6 Kua hoatu e matou te ringa ki nga Ihipiana, ki nga Ahiriana, kia makona ai matou i te taro.
7 I hara o matou matua, a kua kore; a kua whakawaha e matou o ratou he.
8 Ko nga pononga o matou rangatira: kahore he kaiwhakaora mo matou i o ratou ringa.
9 E tata mate matou ka whiwhi ai i te taro, i te hoari hoki o te koraha.
10 Mangu ana o matou kiri ano he oumu, i te wera ngau kino o te hemokai.
11 Taea ana e ratou nga wahine o Hiona, nga wahine i nga pa o Hura.
12 Ko nga rangatira, taronatia ake e to ratou ringa; kihai nga kanohi o nga kaumatua i whakahonoretia.
13 Ko nga taitama kei te waha i te huri, hinga ana nga tamariki i te pikaunga wahie.
14 Ko nga kaumatua i nga kuwaha kua kore, me te waiata hoki a nga taitama.
15 Kua mutu te koa o o matou ngakau, kua puta ke ta matou kanikani hei uhunga.
16 Kua taka te karauna o to matou mahunga; aue, te mate mo matou! kua hara hoki matou.
17 Na reira whakaruhi noa iho o matou ngakau; na enei mea pouriuri ana o matou kanohi.
18 Na te maunga hoki o Hiona kua ururuatia nei, e haereerea nei e nga pokiha.
19 Pumau tonu koe, ake ake, e Ihowa; ko tou torona kei tera whakatupuranga, kei tera whakatupuranga.
20 He aha koe i wareware tonu ai ki a matou? he aha koe i whakarere ai i a matou, a roa noa iho nga ra?
21 Whakatahuritia atu matou ki a koe, e Ihowa, a ka tahuri matou: whakahoutia o matou ra, kia rite ki o mua.
22 Otiia kua tino whakakahore rawa koe ki a matou, e tino nui ana tou riri ki a matou.
Lamentations 5
New International Version
Lamentations 5
New International Version
5 Remember, Lord, what has happened to us;
look, and see our disgrace.(A)
2 Our inheritance(B) has been turned over to strangers,(C)
our homes(D) to foreigners.(E)
3 We have become fatherless,
our mothers are widows.(F)
4 We must buy the water we drink;(G)
our wood can be had only at a price.(H)
5 Those who pursue us are at our heels;
we are weary(I) and find no rest.(J)
6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria(K)
to get enough bread.
7 Our ancestors(L) sinned and are no more,
and we bear their punishment.(M)
8 Slaves(N) rule over us,
and there is no one to free us from their hands.(O)
9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives
because of the sword in the desert.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
feverish from hunger.(P)
11 Women have been violated(Q) in Zion,
and virgins in the towns of Judah.
12 Princes have been hung up by their hands;
elders(R) are shown no respect.(S)
13 Young men toil at the millstones;
boys stagger under loads of wood.
14 The elders are gone from the city gate;
the young men have stopped their music.(T)
15 Joy is gone from our hearts;
our dancing has turned to mourning.(U)
16 The crown(V) has fallen from our head.(W)
Woe to us, for we have sinned!(X)
17 Because of this our hearts(Y) are faint,(Z)
because of these things our eyes(AA) grow dim(AB)
18 for Mount Zion,(AC) which lies desolate,(AD)
with jackals prowling over it.
19 You, Lord, reign forever;(AE)
your throne endures(AF) from generation to generation.
20 Why do you always forget us?(AG)
Why do you forsake(AH) us so long?
21 Restore(AI) us to yourself, Lord, that we may return;
renew our days as of old
22 unless you have utterly rejected us(AJ)
and are angry with us beyond measure.(AK)
