¹¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Huhana Erutu. He Mikitama, na Rawiri, hei whakaako. No tana whawhaitanga ki a Aramanaharaima raua ko Aramatopa. Na hoki ana a Ioapa, a patua ana e ia a Eroma ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau ma rua mano. E te Atua, kua pa nga matou e koe, kua oti matou te whakamarara e koe, kua riri koe; tahuri mai ano ki a matou.

¹God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

²Wiri ana te whenua i a koe: kua ngatata i a koe: whakakapia ona wahi pakaru; e ru ana hoki.

²You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

³He mea pakeke kua whakakitea e koe ki tau iwi, kua oti matou te whakainu e koe ki te waina e wiri ai.

³You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

⁴Kua homai e koe he kara ki te hunga e wehi ana i a koe: kia whakakitea hei mea mo te pono. (Hera.

⁴You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

⁵Hei mea e mawhiti ai au e aroha ai: ma tou matau e whakaora, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.

⁵So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

⁶¶ Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu; ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe hoki i te raorao o Hukota.

⁶God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

⁷Noku Kireara, noku ano a Manahi, ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku kaiwhakatakoto ture;

⁷Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

⁸Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: e Pirihitia, ko ahau hei whakamanamana mau.

⁸Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

⁹Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa kaha? Na wai ahau i arahi ki Eroma?

⁹Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

¹⁰He teka ranei, e te Atua, kua panga matou e koe? kahore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me a matou taua.

¹⁰Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

¹¹Homai he awhina mo matou ki o matou hoariri: he teka noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.

¹¹Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

¹²Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.

¹²Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
