18 "A voice was heard in Ramah,

lamentation, weeping and great mourning,

Rachel weeping for her children;

she wouldn’t be comforted,

because they are no more."

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.
