Cantate pour la Paix| Original | MAORI |
| 13. BY THE WATERS OF BABYLON By the waters, the waters of Babylon We laid down and wept, and wept for Thee Zion We remember Thee, remember Thee Zion. * Près du fleuve de Babylone, Nous étions assis, et nous pleurions pour toi, Jérusalem. Nous nous souvenons de toi, Jérusalem. * Presso il fiume di Babilonia eravamo seduti, e piangevamo per te, Gerusalemme. Ci ricordavamo di te, Gerusalemme. | Psalm 137 1 I te taha o nga wai o Papurona, noho ana tatou i reira, ae, tangi ana tatou, ia tatou i mahara ai ki Hiona. 2 Whakairia ake e tatou a tatou hapa ki runga ki nga wirou i waenganui o reira. 3 No te mea i tono i reira te hunga nana tatou i herehere ki etahi waiata i a tatou, me te hunga nana tatou i tukino i tono mai he hari i a tatou, i mea mai, Waiatatia mai ki a matou tetahi o nga waiate o Hiona. 4 Me pehea matou ka waiata ai i te waiata a Ihowa i te whenua tauhou? 5 Ki te wareware ahau ki a koe, e Hiruharama, kia wareware toku ringa matau ki tana mahi. 6 Ki te kore ahau e mahara ki a koe, kia piri toku arero ki toku ngao; ki te kore ahau e whakanui i Hiruharama ki runga ake i taku mea i tino hari ai. 7 E Ihowa, maharatia nga tama a Eroma i te ra o Hiruharama; ta ratou meatanga, Whakahoroa, whakahoroa, a taea rawatia ano tona turanga. 8 E te tamahine o Papurona, meake nei whakangaromia, ka hari te tangata e utua ai koe mo tau i mea ai ki a matou. 9 Ka hari te tangata e hopu ana, e ta ana i au mea nohinohi ki runga ki te kohatu. |
