< Rhaengsae 2 >

1 Balae tih ka Boeipa loh Zion nu te a thintoek neh a yaal thil‍? Israel kah a boeimang khaw vaan lamloh diklai la a voeih pah coeng‍. Te dongah a kho kah khotloeng pataeng a thintoek hnin ah a poek moenih‍.
How has the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 Ka Boeipa loh a dolh phoeiah la Jakob toitlim boeih te lungma a ti moenih‍. A thinpom neh Judah nu kah hmuencak khaw a koengloeng pah‍. A ram neh a mangpa te diklai la a khueh pah tih a poeih pah‍.
The LORD has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: he has thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought them down to the ground: he has polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 Thintoek thinling ah Israel ki khaw boeih a ngun sak‍. A thunkha mikhmuh ah a hnuk la bantang kut a maelh vaengah Jakob dongah hmaisai hmai bangla a dom tih a kaepvai a hlawp pah‍.
He has cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours round about.
4 Thunkha bangla a lii a phuk tih rhal bangla amah bantang ah pai‍. A mik ah ngailaemnah boeih te a ngawn tih Zion nu kah dap ah hmai bangla kosi a hawk pah‍.
He has bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
5 Ka Boeipa he thunkha bangla om‍. Israel a dolh tih a impuei boeih khaw a dolh pah‍. A hmuencak a phae pah tih Judah nu kah rhahdueknah neh ngueknah a ping sak‍.
The LORD was as an enemy: he has swallowed up Israel, he has swallowed up all her palaces: he has destroyed his strong holds, and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 A po te dum bangla a hlaih tih a tingtunnah khaw a phae pah‍. BOEIPA loh Zion kah khoning neh Sabbath khaw a hnilh sak‍. A thintoek neh kosi dongah manghai neh khosoih khaw a tlaitlaek.
And he has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he has destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD has caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
7 Ka Boeipa loh a hmueihtuk a hlahpham tih a rhokso khaw a hai coeng‍. Impuei vongtung khaw thunkha kut khaw ah a det‍. Te dongah tingtunnah khohnin bangla BOEIPA im ah ol a huel uh.
The LORD has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary, he has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 BOEIPA loh Zion nu kah vongtung phae ham a moeh rhilam a toe coeng‍. A dolh lamloh a kut poem pawt tih rhalmahvong khaw a nguekcoi sak dongah vongtung khaw rhenten tahah‍.
The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he has stretched out a line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 A vongka te diklai la buek tih muelh‍. A thohkalh khaw tlawt coeng‍. A manghai neh a mangpa rhoek khaw namtom taengah om‍. Olkhueng khaw tal tih a tonghma rhoek loh BOEIPA lamkah a mangthui te hmu uh pawh‍.
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
10 Zion nu patong loh diklai ah ngol uh tih ngam uh‍. A lu ah laipi a phul uh tih tlamhni a vah uh‍. Jerusalem rhoek oila loh a lu te diklai la a buluk uh‍.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust on their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Mikphi lamloh ka mik thana coeng‍. Ka pilnam nu kah pocinah‍, khorha toltung ah camoe neh cahni kah a rhae dongah ka ko he noong tih ka thin khaw diklai la a kingling‍.
My eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
12 A manu rhoek taengah tah‍, “‍Cangpai neh misurtui ta‍?” a ti uh‍. Khopuei toltung ah rhok bangla rhae uh tih a hinglu te a manu kah rhang dongah a kingling uh‍.
They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
13 Jerusalem nu nang te metlam kang hih eh‍? Nang taengah metlam kan lutlat eh‍? Nang taengah ba nen lae ka tluk eh‍? Zion nu oila nang kan hloep ham akhaw na pocinah loh tuitunli bangla len tih unim nang aka hoeih sak ve‍.
What thing shall I take to witness for you? what thing shall I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?
14 Na tonghma rhoek loh nang ham a poeyoek neh a rhorhap ni a hmuh uh‍. Na thongtlak kawng dongah thongtla la na mael ham vaengah nang kah thaesainah te a phoe uh moenih. Nang ham a poeyoek neh vuelvaeknah olrhuh ni a hmuh‍.
Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you: and they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn away your captivity; but have seen for you false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 Longpuei kah aka cet boeih loh nang taengah kut a paeng uh tih kut a ving uh‍. Jerusalem nu nang taengah a lu a huen uh tih, “He khopuei tah Diklai pum kah omthennah sakthen rhuemtuet dae la nama?” a ti uh‍.
All that pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 Na thunkha boeih loh nang taengah a ka a ang uh tih hlip uh‍. No a tah uh tih‍, “‍N'dolh coeng‍, he khohnin he n'lamtawn bangla n'dang uh tih m'hmuh uh‍.
All your enemies have opened their mouth against you: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 A olthui neh aka mueluem kah a mangtaeng te BOEIPA loh a saii‍. Hlamat kum lamloh a uen te a koengloeng coeng‍. Tedae lungma ti pawt dongah na rhal kah ki te a pomsang tih thunkha loh nang soah ko a khah‍.
The LORD has done that which he had devised; he has fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he has thrown down, and has not pitied: and he has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, he has set up the horn of your adversaries.
18 A lungbuei tah ka Boeipa taengah pang‍. Zion nu vongtung aw‍, mikphi te soklong bangla suntla saeh‍. Namah te khoyin khothaih ah hilsangnah khueh boeh‍. Na mik mikhlang khaw ngam sak boeh‍.
Their heart cried to the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give yourself no rest; let not the apple of your eye cease.
19 Khoyin khoyin ah thoo lamtah tamhoe laeh‍. Hlaemhmah pukthung ah na lungbuei te ka Boeipa mikhmuh ah tui bangla bueih‍. Longpuei takuem kah longrhai ah khokha lamloh aka rhae na camoe rhoek kah hinglu ham khaw amah taengah na kut phuel lah‍.
Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
20 BOEIPA aw u taengah na poelyoe khaw so lamtah paelki‍. Huta loh amah thaihtae camoe hnatuem te ca tangkhuet saeh a‍? Ka Boeipa kah rhokso ah khosoih neh tonghma te ngawn saeh a‍?
Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom you have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Camoe patong loh tollong diklai dongah yalh uh‍. Ka oila rhoek neh ka tongpang rhoek khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh‍. Na thintoek hnin kah na ngawn tih lungma na ti kolla na ngawn‍.
The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; you have slain them in the day of your anger; you have killed, and not pitied.
22 Tingtunnah khohnin bangla ka rhihnah te ka kaepvai ah na hueh‍. BOEIPA kah thintoek khohnin ah hlangyong neh hlangsueng om pawh‍. Ka poeh tih ka pom te ka thunkha loh a khah coeng‍.
You have called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD’s anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up has my enemy consumed.
