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

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

2 K ia anga atu akuanei tau tangi, e te tama a te tangata, ki a Taira;

`And thou, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a lamentation, and thou hast said to Tyre:

3 M ea 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.

O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou -- thou hast said: I the perfection of beauty.
