18 I rangona he reo ki Rama, he uhunga, he tangi, he aue nui, ko Rahera e tangi ana ki ana tamariki, a kihai i pai kia whakamarietia, no te mea kua kahore ratou.

18 A voice was heard in Ramah,

Weeping and great mourning,

Rachel weeping for her children;

And she would not be comforted, because they are not.
