1 I te putanga mai o Iharaira i Ihipa, o te whare o Hakopa i te iwi reo ke,2 Ko Hura tona wahi tapu, ko Iharaira tona rangatiratanga.3 I kite te moana, a whati ana: i whakahokia ki muri a Horano.4 Pekepeke ana nga maunga ano he hipi toa, nga pukepuke ano he reme.5 I ahatia koe, e te moana, i whati ai koe e Horano, i whakahokia ai koe ki muri?6 E nga maunga, i pekepeke ai koutou ano he hipi toa; e nga pukepuke, ano he reme?7 E wiri, e te whenua, i te aroaro o te Ariki; i te aroaro o te Atua o Hakopa;8 I meinga ai te toka hei hopua wai; te kiripaka hei puna wai.

1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.5 What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
