Te Urupatu o te Pā Kino
1 Kua tae ake te kaiwāwāhi ki tōu aroaro.
Tiakina te pā,
tūteia te ara,
kia kaha tōu hope,
kia ū rawa tōu kaha.
2 Nō te mea ka whakahokia mai e Ihowā te korōria o Hākopa,
me te korōria o Īharaira;
kua takoto kau hoki rātou i ngā kaiwhakatakoto kau,
kua hē anō ā rātou manga wāina i a rātou.
3 Kua oti te whakangungu rākau a āna mārohirohi te whakawhero,
he ngangana te kākahu o ngā māia.
Kei te rino e kanapa ana te rite o ngā hāriata
i te rā e takatū ai ia,
ā, ko ngā tao wiri rawa.
4 Ngana tonu ngā hāriata i ngā ara,
taututetute ana ki a rātou anō i ngā waharoa;
ko tō rātou āhua ānō he roherohe,
e rere ana me he uira.
5 Ka mahara ia ki āna metararahi;
ka tapatu rātou i a rātou e haere ana;
ka hohoro rātou ki tō reira taiepa,
ā, ka rite te ārai.
6 Ka whakatuwheratia ngā kūwaha o ngā awa,
ka papahoro te whare kīngi.
7 Nā, kua tū tahanga a Huhapa, kua maua atu ia,
ā, ka tangi āna pononga wāhine,
ko te reo koia anō kei tō te kūkupa,
ko ō rātou uma hei timipera mā rātou.
8 Ko Ninewe ia, ko tōna rite mai onamata, kei te puna wai.
Heoi, ka tahuti rātou;
ka karanga, “E tū, e tū!”
Heoi, e kore tētahi e titiro whakamuri.
9 Pāhuatia te hiriwa,
pāhuatia te kōura;
kāhore hoki he mutunga o ngā rawa,
o te korōria i roto i ngā taonga āhuareka katoa.
10 Kua takoto kau ia, kāhore āna mea, mōtī rawa!
Harotu kau te ngākau, kei te āki anō ngā turi ki a rāua,
he nui te mamae kei ngā hope katoa,
kua kōmā ngā mata o rātou katoa.
11 Kei hea te nohoanga o ngā raiona,
te wāhi kai a ngā kūao raiona,
te wāhi i hāereere ai te raiona, me te raiona kātua,
me te kūao raiona, tē ai he kaiwhakawehi?
12 I haehaea mai e te raiona he mea e mākona ai āna kūao,
nōtia ana e ia te kakī hei mea mā āna raiona uha,
whakakīia ana e ia ōna rua ki te kai,
ōna nohoanga hoki ki te mea i haehaea.
13 “Nanā, hei hoariri tēnei ahau mōu,”
e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano,
“ka tahuna anō e ahau ana hāriata i roto i te paowa,
ka pau āu kūao raiona i te hoari.
Ka kore i ahau he haehaenga māu i runga i te whenua,
e kore anō te reo o āu karere e rangona ā muri ake nei.”
