¹¶ Ko wai tenei e haere mai nei i Eroma, he mea rongoa mai nga kakahu i Potora? tenei he kororia rawa nei ona kakahu, e haere ana i runga i te nui o tona kaha? Ko ahau e korero atu nei i runga i te tika, ko te mea kaha ki te whakaora.

¹`Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?` — `I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.`

²He aha i whero ai ou kakahu? i rite ai ou weweru ki o te kaitakahi i te takahanga waina?

²`Wherefore [is] thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?`

³Na toku kotahi te takahanga waina i takahi, kahore hoki he tangata o te iwi hei hoa moku: takahia iho ratou e ahau, he riri noku; takatakahia ana ratou e ahau ki raro, i ahau e weriweri ana; pati ana o ratou toto ki oku weruweru, whakapokea iho e ahau toku kakahu katoa.

³— `A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.

⁴Kei roto hoki i toku ngakau te ra o te rapu utu; kua tae mai ano te tau o aku i hoko ai.

⁴For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.

⁵Na ka titiro atu ahau, a kahore he kaiawhina, miharo ana ahau no te mea kahore he kaitautoko ake: na kua meatia e toku takakau, he whakaoranga moku; ko toku weriweri, na tera ahau i tautoko ake.

⁵And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath — it hath supported me.

⁶Na takahia ana e ahau nga iwi i ahau e riri nei; i ahau ano e weriweri ana ka whakahaurangitia ratou e ahau, a ringihia ana e ahau to ratou toto ki te whenua.

⁶And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.

⁷¶ Ka whakahuatia e ahau nga mahi aroha a Ihowa, nga whakamoemiti ki e Ihowa, ka rite ki nga mea i homai e Ihowa, ki a tatou; ki te nui hoki o te pai ki te whare o Iharaira i homai nei e ia ki a ratou; he mea i rite tonu ki ana mahi tohu tangata, ki te nui ano o ana mahi aroha.

⁷The kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts.

⁸I mea hoki ia, He pono, ko taku iwi ratou, he tamariki e kore e korero teka: na ko ia to ratou kaiwhakaora.

⁸And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons — they lie not, and He is to them for a saviour.

⁹I o ratou pouritanga ngakau katoa i pouri ano ia, a whakaorangia ake ratou e te anahera o tona aroaro; he aroha nona, he mahi tohu tangata i hoko ai ia i a ratou, hikitia ana ratou, whakahaereerea ana i nga ra katoa onamata.

⁹In all their distress [He is] no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.

¹⁰Heoi whakakeke ana ratou, whakapouritia iho e ratou tona wairua tapu. Na ka puta ke ia hei hoariri mo ratou; kei te whawhai ano ia ki a ratou.

¹⁰And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against them.

¹¹Katahi ia ka mahara ki nga ra o mua, ki a Mohi, ki tana iwi, i mea ia, Kei hea ia nana ratou i kawe ake i te moana me nga hepara o tana kahuri? kei hea te kaiwhakanoho o tona wairua tapu ki waenganui i a ratou?

¹¹And He remembereth the days of old, Moses — his people. Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, The shepherd of his flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its midst His Holy Spirit?

¹²I arahi nei i a ratou, he meatanga na te ringa matau o Mohi, na tona takakau kororia? i wahi nei i nga wai i to ratou aroaro, hei mea i tetahi ingoa mona e mau tonu ana?

¹²Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during.

¹³I arahi nei i a ratou i waenganui o te moana, ano he hoiho i te koraha, te hinga ratou?

¹³Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.

¹⁴Kei te kararehe e haere ana ki raro ki te awaawa te rite, pera tonu ta te wairua o Ihowa meatanga i a ratou kia okioki: pera tonu tau arahanga i tau iwi, i whai ingoa kororia ai koe.

¹⁴As a beast into a valley goeth down, The Spirit of Jehovah causeth him to rest, So hast Thou led Thy people, To make to Thyself a glorious name.

¹⁵¶ Titiro mai i runga i te rangi, matakitaki mai i runga i te nohoanga o tou tapu, o tou kororia; kei hea tou ngakau nui, me au mahi nunui? ko te ohoohonga o ou whekau, ko au mahi tohu ka pehia iho ki ahau.

¹⁵Look attentively from the heavens, And see from Thy holy and beauteous habitation, Where [is] Thy zeal and Thy might? The multitude of Thy bowels and Thy mercies Towards me have refrained themselves.

¹⁶He pono ko koe to matou papa, kahore nei hoki a Aperahama e mohio ki a matou, kahore ano hoki a Iharaira e mahara ki a matou: ko koe, e Ihowa, to matou papa; ko to matou kaihoko, nonamata mai tou ingoa.

¹⁶For Thou [art] our Father, For Abraham hath not known us, And Israel doth not acknowledge us, Thou, O Jehovah, [art] our Father, Our redeemer from the age, [is] Thy name.

¹⁷He aha koe, e Ihowa, i mea ai i a matou kia kotiti atu i au ara, whakapakeketia iho e koe o matou ngakau kia kaua e wehi ki a koe? Hoki mai, kia mahara ki au pononga, ki nga hapu o tou kainga pumau.

¹⁷Why causest Thou us to wander, O Jehovah, from Thy ways? Thou hardenest our heart from Thy fear, Turn back for Thy servants` sake, The tribes of Thine inheritance.

¹⁸He iti nei te wa i mau ai taua kainga ki te iwi o tou tapu: e takatakahia ana tou wahi tapu e o matou hoariri.

¹⁸For a little while did Thy holy people possess, Our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.

¹⁹Kua meinga matou kia rite ki te hunga kihai nei koe i kingi mo ratou; ki te hunga kihai nei i huaina ki tou ingoa.

¹⁹We have been from of old, Thou hast not ruled over them, Not called is Thy name upon them!
