27  I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

Kia anga atu akuanei tau tangi, e te tama a te tangata, ki a Taira;

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.

Kei waenga moana ou rohe, oti rawa koe te whakaataahua e ou kaihanga.

No nga kauri o Heniri nga papa katoa i hanga ai ou kaipuke; i tikina ano he hita i Repanona hei hanga rewa mau.

No nga oki o Pahana nga hoe i hanga mau, ou taumanu he mea hanga ki te rei, he mea kua oti te whakanoho ki te ake o nga motu o Kitimi.

He rinena pai, he mea whakairo no Ihipa te mea i wherahia e koe hei komaru mou, hei kara mau; ko te hipoki mou, he puru, he papura no nga motu o Eriha.

Ko au kaihoe ko nga tangata o Hairona, o Arawara; ko au kaiurungi ko nga tangata whakaaro nui i roto i a koe, e Taira.

I roto nga kaumatua o Kepara i a koe, me nga tangata whakaaro nui o reira hei kaimono mau: i a koe nga kaipuke katoa o te moana, me o ratou kaiwhakatere, hei hoko i ou taonga.

10 I roto i tou ope ko Pahia, ko Ruru, ko Putu, he hoia nau: whakairihia ake ana e ratou te puapua me te potae i roto i a koe; he mea whakahonore koe na ratou.

11 I runga i ou taiepa nga tangata o Arawara me tou ope ano a tawhio noa, i roto i ou pourewa nga Kamarimi: whakairihia ana e ratou a ratou whakangungu rakau ki ou taiepa a tawhio noa: oti rawa koe te whakaataahua e ratou.

12 He kaihokohoko a Tarahihi ki a koe, he nui hoki no ou taonga katoa: ko ta ratou i tuku ai i au hokohokonga he hiriwa, he rino, he tine, he mata.

13 Ko Iawana, ko Tupara, ko Meheke, he kaihokohoko ratou nau; ko ta ratou i tuku ai i ou kainga hoko, he tangata, he oko parahi.

14 Ko nga tangata o te whare o Tokarama, ko ta ratou i tuku ai i au hokohokonga he hoiho, he hoiho no te whawhai, he muera.

15 He kaihokohoko nau nga tangata o Rerana; he maha nga motu i hokohokona ai nga taonga e koe: kawea mai ana e ratou hei whakawhiti ki a koe, he hoana rei, he eponi.

16 He kaihokohoko nau a Hiria, i te nui hoki o nga mahi a ou ringa; ko ta ratou i tuku ai mo au taonga he emerara, he papura, he mea whakairo, he rinena pai, he kaoa, he rupi.

17 Ko Hura, ko te whenua o Iharaira, ko ratou au kaihokohoko: ko ta ratou i tuku ai i ou kainga hoko he witi no Miniti, he panaka, he honi, he hinu, he pama.

18 He kaihokohoko nau a Ramahiku, he nui no nga mahi a ou ringa, he nui no nga taonga katoa; ko ta ratou, he waina no Herepono, he huruhuru hipi ma.

19 I tuku taonga a Rana, a Iawana, he miro huruhuru, i roto i au hokohokonga: i au taonga hokohoko ko te rino kua oti te mahi, ko te kahia, ko te kakaho kakara.

20 Ko Rerana tau kaihokohoko i nga kakahu utu nui mo nga hariata.

21 Ko Arapia, ko nga rangatira katoa o Kerara, i hokohokona o ratou taonga e koe, nga reme, nga hipi toa, nga koati: ko nga mea ena i hokohoko ai ratou ki a koe.

22 Ko nga kaihokohoko o Hepa, o Raama, he kaihokohoko ano ratou nau: ko ta ratou i tuku ai i au hokohokonga ko nga mea pai rawa o nga kinaki reka katoa, ko nga kohatu utu nui katoa, ko te koura.

23 Ko Harana, ko Kane, ko Erene, ko nga kaihokohoko o Hepa, ko Ahuru, ko Kirimara, he kaihokohoko nau.

24 Ko ratou hei hoko i nga mea pai rawa ki a koe, i nga kakahu puru, i te mea whakairo, i nga pouaka kakahu pai, he mea paihere ki te aho, he hita, i roto i ou taonga hoko.

25 Ko nga kaipuke o Tarahihi nga waka harihari i ou taonga: a ka whakakiia koe, ka meinga kia nui rawa tou kororia i waenga moana.

26 I kawea koe e ou kaihoe ki nga wai maha; i pakarua koe e te hau marangai ki waenga moana.

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.

28 Ka ngateri a waho o te pa i te ngangau, i te hamama o au kaiurungi.

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,

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

A Lament Over Tyre

27 The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, take up a lament(A) concerning Tyre. Say to Tyre,(B) situated at the gateway to the sea,(C) merchant of peoples on many coasts, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘You say, Tyre,
    “I am perfect in beauty.(D)
Your domain was on the high seas;
    your builders brought your beauty to perfection.(E)
They made all your timbers
    of juniper from Senir[a];(F)
they took a cedar from Lebanon(G)
    to make a mast for you.
Of oaks(H) from Bashan
    they made your oars;
of cypress wood[b] from the coasts of Cyprus(I)
    they made your deck, adorned with ivory.
Fine embroidered linen(J) from Egypt was your sail
    and served as your banner;
your awnings were of blue and purple(K)
    from the coasts of Elishah.(L)
Men of Sidon and Arvad(M) were your oarsmen;
    your skilled men, Tyre, were aboard as your sailors.(N)
Veteran craftsmen of Byblos(O) were on board
    as shipwrights to caulk your seams.
All the ships of the sea(P) and their sailors
    came alongside to trade for your wares.

10 “‘Men of Persia,(Q) Lydia(R) and Put(S)
    served as soldiers in your army.
They hung their shields(T) and helmets on your walls,
    bringing you splendor.
11 Men of Arvad and Helek
    guarded your walls on every side;
men of Gammad
    were in your towers.
They hung their shields around your walls;
    they brought your beauty to perfection.(U)

12 “‘Tarshish(V) did business with you because of your great wealth of goods;(W) they exchanged silver, iron, tin and lead for your merchandise.

13 “‘Greece,(X) Tubal and Meshek(Y) did business with you; they traded human beings(Z) and articles of bronze for your wares.

14 “‘Men of Beth Togarmah(AA) exchanged chariot horses, cavalry horses and mules for your merchandise.

15 “‘The men of Rhodes[c](AB) traded with you, and many coastlands(AC) were your customers; they paid you with ivory(AD) tusks and ebony.

16 “‘Aram[d](AE) did business with you because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise,(AF) purple fabric, embroidered work, fine linen,(AG) coral(AH) and rubies for your merchandise.

17 “‘Judah and Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat(AI) from Minnith(AJ) and confections,[e] honey, olive oil and balm(AK) for your wares.(AL)

18 “‘Damascus(AM) did business with you because of your many products and great wealth of goods.(AN) They offered wine from Helbon, wool from Zahar 19 and casks of wine from Izal(AO) in exchange for your wares: wrought iron, cassia(AP) and calamus.

20 “‘Dedan(AQ) traded in saddle blankets with you.

21 “‘Arabia(AR) and all the princes of Kedar(AS) were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats.

22 “‘The merchants of Sheba(AT) and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices(AU) and precious stones, and gold.(AV)

23 “‘Harran,(AW) Kanneh and Eden(AX) and merchants of Sheba, Ashur(AY) and Kilmad traded with you. 24 In your marketplace they traded with you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted.

25 “‘The ships of Tarshish(AZ) serve
    as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
    as you sail the sea.(BA)
26 Your oarsmen take you
    out to the high seas.
But the east wind(BB) will break you to pieces
    far out at sea.
27 Your wealth,(BC) merchandise and wares,
    your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
    and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea(BD)
    on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(BE)
    when your sailors cry out.
29 All who handle the oars
    will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the sailors
    will stand on the shore.
30 They will raise their voice
    and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust(BF) on their heads
    and roll(BG) in ashes.(BH)
31 They will shave their heads(BI) because of you
    and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(BJ) over you with anguish of soul
    and with bitter mourning.(BK)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
    they will take up a lament(BL) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
    surrounded by the sea?(BM)
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(BN)
    you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(BO) and your wares
    you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are shattered by the sea
    in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
    have gone down with you.(BP)
35 All who live in the coastlands(BQ)
    are appalled(BR) at you;
their kings shudder with horror
    and their faces are distorted with fear.(BS)
36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you;(BT)
    you have come to a horrible end
    and will be no more.(BU)’”
