Maori Bible
18 Ha, ko te whenua e kapakapa nei nga parirau i tera taha o nga wai o Etiopia!
2 E unga karere nei i runga i te moana, a ko o ratou kaipuke he kakaho i runga i nga wai, e ki ana, Haere, e nga karere tere, ki tetahi iwi roroa, maheni hoki, ki te iwi i wehingia i to ratou timatanga iho a mohoa noa nei; ki te iwi he mahi ruri ne i, he takatakahi nei tana, ko tona whenua wahia iho e nga awa.
3 E nga tangata katoa o te ao, e te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, titiro mai, ina whakaarahia te kara ki runga i nga maunga; whakarongo mai, ina whakatangihia te tetere.
4 Ko ta Ihowa kupu hoki tenei ki ahau, Ka ata noho ahau, ka titiro hoki i toku nohoanga; ka rite ahau ki te mahana i te mea ka mahea, ka rite ki te kapua tomairangi i te mahana o te kotinga.
5 Hei mua hoki i te kotinga, kia ngahoro te puawai, kia puta ki te puawai he karepe e maoa haere ana, na ka hatepea atu e ia nga peka ririki ki te tapahi peka, a ko nga manga ka tangohia, ka tapahia ki raro.
6 Ka waiho ngatahi atu ratou ma nga manu tokokai o nga maunga, ma nga kararehe hoki o te whenua; ka whakatau nga manu tokokai ki runga ki a ratou i te raumati, ka whakakainga hoki nga kararehe katoa o te whenua ki reira i te hotoke.
7 I taua wa ka maua mai he hakari ki a Ihowa o nga mano, o te iwi roroa, maheni hoki, na te iwi i wehingia i to ratou timatanga iho, a mohoa noa nei, na te iwi he mahi ruri nei, he takatakahi nei tana, a ko tona whenua wahia iho e nga awa, ki te wa hi o te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, ki Maunga Hiona.

A Prophecy Against Cush
18 Woe(A) to the land of whirring wings[a]
along the rivers of Cush,[b](B)
2 which sends envoys(C) by sea
in papyrus(D) boats over the water.
Go, swift messengers,
to a people tall and smooth-skinned,(E)
to a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive(F) nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers.(G)
3 All you people of the world,(H)
you who live on the earth,
when a banner(I) is raised on the mountains,
you will see it,
and when a trumpet(J) sounds,
you will hear it.
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“I will remain quiet(K) and will look on from my dwelling place,(L)
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,(M)
like a cloud of dew(N) in the heat of harvest.”
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(O) the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(P)
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey(Q)
and to the wild animals;(R)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
7 At that time gifts(S) will be brought to the Lord Almighty
from a people tall and smooth-skinned,(T)
from a people feared(U) far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers(V)—
the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.(W)
