1 ¶ Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it naked and turns it upside down and scatters abroad its inhabitants.

Nana, kua meinga e Ihowa te whenua kia noho tahanga, kia takoto kau, kua porohurihia ake e ia, a kua whakamararatia ona tangata.

2 A nd it shall be, as with the people so with the priest; as with the slave so with his master; as with the maid so with her mistress; as with the buyer so with the seller; as with the lender so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury so with the giver of usury to him.

A ka rite te iwi ki te tohunga, te pononga ki tona ariki, te pononga wahine ki tona rangatira wahine, te tangata i utua ai te taonga ki te tangata i a ia nei te utu, te kaiwhakatarewa mai ki te tangata i te nama, te tangata i te moni whakatupu ki te tangata nana nei i homai ki a ia.

3 T he land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled: for the LORD has spoken this word.

Ka moti rawa ta te whenua, pahua rawa: kua korerotia hoki e Ihowa tenei kupu.

4 T he earth has destroyed itself and fallen; the world has become sick and fallen; the haughty peoples of the earth are become sick.

E tangi ana te whenua, ngohe noa iho; kahakore kau te ao, ngohe noa iho; harotu kau te hunga rarahi o te whenua.

5 T he earth is also become bankrupt under its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws, falsified the order, broken the everlasting covenant.

Kua poke ano te whenua i raro i ona tangata; kua takahia hoki nga ture, whakaputaia ketia ake e ratou te tikanga i whakatakotoria, whakataka ana e ratou te kawenata onamata.

6 T herefore the curse has consumed the earth, and those that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men left.

Na reira i kainga ai te whenua e te kanga, kitea iho te hara o ona tangata; na reira i wera ai nga tangata o te whenua, a he torutoru te hunga i toe.

7 T he new wine is lost; the vine is sick; all those who were merryhearted sigh.

E tangi ana te waina hou; kua kahakore te waina; kei te mapu te hunga ngakau koa katoa.

8 T he mirth of tambourines ceases; the noise of those that rejoice ends; the joy of the harp ceases.

Ka mutu te koa o nga timipera, kua kore te nge o te hunga e hari ana; mutu ake te koa o te hapa.

9 T hey shall not drink wine with a song; the drink shall be bitter to them that would drink it.

Kore ake ta ratou waiata i te mea e inu waina ana; ka kawa te wai kaha ki te hunga e inu ana.

10 T he city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up that no man may come in.

Kua pakaru te pa o te pororaru, tutaki rawa nga whare katoa, te ai he tomokanga atu.

11 T here is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened; the mirth of the land is gone.

He karanga kei nga ara, he mea mo te waina; kua pouri katoa te koa, kua riro te harakoa o te whenua.

12 I n the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

Mahue iho ki te pa ko te ururua; ko te kuwaha, he mea whiu ki te whakangaromanga.

13 ¶ For thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the peoples as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.

Ka penei te hanga i waenganui i te whenua i roto i nga iwi; kei te ruiruinga o te oriwa te rite, kei te hamunga o nga karepe ina mutu te whawhaki.

14 T hese shall lift up their voice; they shall sing joyfully in the majesty of the LORD; they shall lift up their voice from the sea.

Ka ara to ratou reo, ka waiata ratou; mo te nui hoki o Ihowa, ka hamama mai ratou i te moana.

15 T herefore glorify ye the LORD in the valleys; let the LORD God of Israel be called upon by name in the isles of the sea.

Na whakakororiatia a Ihowa i te rawhiti, te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, i nga motu o te moana.

16 ¶ From the uttermost part of the earth we have heard psalms, Glory to the righteous one. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

I te pito rawa o te whenua kua rangona nga waiata e tatou, he kororia ki te tangata tika. Otiia ka ki ake ahau, Kei te whakaheke ahau! kei te whakaheke! aue te mate i ahau! he mahi tinihanga ta te hunga tinihanga; nui atu te tinihanga o te hunga tinihanga.

17 F ear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

Ko te wehi, ko te rua, ko te rore, kei a koe, e te tangata o te whenua.

18 A nd it shall come to pass that he who shall flee from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that shall come up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: because from on high, windows have been opened, and the foundations of the earth shall shake.

Na, ko te tangata e rere mai i te ngangau o te wehi, ka taka ki te rua; a ko te tangata e puta ake ana i roto i te rua, ka mau i te rore; kua puare hoki nga matapihi o runga, a e ru ana nga turanga o te whenua.

19 T he earth shall be utterly broken down; the earth is clean dissolved; the earth is moved exceedingly.

Ngakongako kau te whenua, memeha kau noa iho te whenua, ngaueue kau te whenua.

20 T he earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard and shall be removed like a cottage; and its transgression shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall and never rise again.

Hurorirori kau te whenua ano he haurangi, nekenekehia ana, me te mea he whare tira; ka taimaha iho hoki tona he ki runga ki a ia, ka hinga, heoi ano ona aranga ake.

21 A nd it shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall visit punishment upon the host of the high ones that are on high and upon the kings of the earth on the earth.

I taua ra ka whiua e Ihowa te ope o te hunga kua neke ake, me nga kingi o te whenua i runga i te whenua.

22 A nd they shall be gathered together as prisoners are gathered in the pit and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be visited.

A ka huihuia ratou, ka peratia me nga herehere e huihuia ana ki te rua, ka tutakina hoki ki te whare herehere, a ka maha nga ra ka tirohia iho ratou.

23 T hen the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of the hosts shall reign in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and in the presence of his ancients he shall be glorious.

Ko reira te marama numinumi kau ai, ka whakama ano hoki te ra; ka kingi hoki a Ihowa o nga mano ki Maunga Hiona, ki Hiurharama, ki te aroaro ano o ana kaumatua i runga i te kororia.
