1Nanā, he ātaahua koe, e tōku hoa; nanā, he ātaahua koe! Nō ngā kūkupa ōu kanohi i muri i tōu ārai. Ko ōu makawe, koia anō kei te kāhui koati e takoto haere ana i te taha o Maunga Kireara.
2Ko ōu niho, ānō he kāhui hipi uha kātahi tonu ka oti te kutikuti, i haere mai i te horoi; rite katoa rātou i te māhanga, kāhore hoki he mea pakoro i roto i a rātou.
3Ko ōu ngutu, ānō he aho ngangana, āhuareka ana tōu māngai. Rite tonu ki tētahi wāhi o te pamekaranete ōu rahirahinga i muri i tōu ārai.
4Rite tonu tōu kakī ki te Pourewa o Rāwiri, he mea i hangā hei iringa mō ngā patu, kei reira nei ngā whakangungu rākau kotahi mano e iri ana, ko ngā whakapuru tao katoa a te hunga mārohirohi.
5Ko ōu ū e rua rite tonu ki ngā kūao e rua, he māhanga nā ngā anaterope, e kai ana i waenga i ngā rengarenga.
6I te mea kīanō i mātao noa te rā, ā, kīanō i rere noa ngā ātārangi, ka haere ahau ki te maunga maira, ki te pukepuke parakihe.
7He ātaahua katoa koe, e tōku hoa; kāhore hoki ōu koha.
8Tāua ka haere atu i Repanōna, e tōku hoa, tāua atu i Repanōna. Mātakitaki ai i te tihi o Amana, i te tihi o Heniri rāua ko Heremona, i te nohoanga o ngā raiona, i ngā maunga o ngā reparo.
9Riro pū tōku ngākau i a koe, e tōku tuahine, e tōku hoa; riro pū tōku ngākau i tētahi o ōu kanohi, i tētahi o ngā mekameka whakapaipai o tōu kakī.
10Anō te ātaahua o tōu aroha, e tōku tuahine, e tōku hoa, Anō te pai o tōu aroha, nui atu i te wāina! Ko te kakara hoki o ōu hinu, nui atu i ngā kīnaki kakara katoa.
11He honi kei ōu ngutu, e tōku hoa, e māturuturu ana; he honi, he waiū kei raro i tōu arero; ko te kakara hoki o ōu kākahu, koia anō kei te kakara o Repanōna!
12He kāri kua oti te tūtaki tōku tuahine, tōku hoa; he manawa-whenua kua oti te pāpuni, he puna kua oti te hīri.
13Ko ngā mea e wana ana i a koe he kāri pamekaranete, he pai whakarere ngā hua; he hena, he rākau nara,
14he nara, he hapirone, he karamu, he hinamona, me ngā rākau parakihe katoa; he maira, he aroe, me ngā mea nui katoa o ngā kīnaki kakara.
15He puna koe nō ngā kāri, he poka wai ora, he awa totō mai hoki nō Repanōna.
16E ara, e te hauraro; haere mai hoki, e te tonga! Pupuhi mai ki tāku kāri, kia rere ai ngā kīnaki kakara ki waho. Tukua tāku e aroha nei kia haere mai ki tāna kāri, ki te kai i āna hua pai.
