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.

Prayer for Restoration
5 Remember, (A)O Lord, what has come upon us;
Look, and behold (B)our reproach!
2 (C)Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens,
And our houses to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans and waifs,
Our mothers are like (D)widows.
4 We pay for the water we drink,
And our wood comes at a price.
5 (E)They pursue at our [a]heels;
We labor and have no rest.
6 (F)We have given our hand (G)to the Egyptians
And the (H)Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 (I)Our fathers sinned and are no more,
But we bear their iniquities.
8 Servants rule over us;
There is none to deliver us from their hand.
9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives,
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
Because of the fever of famine.
11 They (J)ravished the women in Zion,
The maidens in the cities of Judah.
12 Princes were hung up by their hands,
And elders were not respected.
13 Young men (K)ground at the millstones;
Boys staggered under loads of wood.
14 The elders have ceased gathering at the gate,
And the young men from their (L)music.
15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
Our dance has turned into (M)mourning.
16 (N)The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this our heart is faint;
(O)Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is (P)desolate,
With foxes walking about on it.
19 You, O Lord, (Q)remain forever;
(R)Your throne from generation to generation.
20 (S)Why do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?
21 (T)Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be [b]restored;
Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!
