Ka La 1
1 Phatkhat mi ana dimsetna Jerusalem khopi chu tunvang kho gem a sodoh tai. Chitin namtin laha ana minthang khopi chu tunvang meithai a sodoh tan ahi. Vannoi leiset lengnu dinmun ana lo chu tunvang soh dinmun alo jotai.
How lonely lies the city, once so full of people! She who was great among the nations has become a widow. The princess of the provinces has become a slave.
2 Jan khovah vah'in mitlhi long chutchut in akap in ana ngailu cheng holah a jong alhamon ding aum tapouvin aloi agol chengse la aheodah leh adou gal in apang gam tauvin ahi.
She weeps aloud in the night, with tears upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
3 Galhingin Judah akai taovin soh channa leh engbolna athoh tan ahi. Gam dang nammite laha achengun kicholdona mun amujou pouvin ahi. Agalmite uvin a umkimvel’un jamdoh thei louvin akoichah tauve.
Judah has gone into exile under affliction and harsh slavery; she dwells among the nations but finds no place to rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
4 Jerusalem lampiho akhul lhatan koi macha Pathen houna kin bol dingin ahung doh tapouvin, khopi kotpihola donlouvin aumgamtan athempu hou akhoisa gam tauvin anungah khangthah teu akhankho diu gelnan akap gam tauve.
The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gates are deserted; her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she herself is bitter with anguish.
5 A sugenthei houhi a Pakaiyun apang un ajalou teuchu akhantou tul tul jengun ahi. Pakaiyin achonset jih uva Jerusalem chu aengbol uva achateo galhinga kiman a gamla tah’a kikaimang gamu ahitauve.
Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. For the LORD has brought her grief because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone away as captives before the enemy.
6 Jerusalem khopi, ahoinale aloupina chu amang thah ahi tai. Alamkaiteu jong neh ding ham hing mu joulou sakhigol toh abang gam tauvin, agalmiteo masanga jam doh nading tha jong anei jou tapouve.
All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; they lack the strength to flee in the face of the hunter.
7 Lung lengvaija Jerusalem avale laitahin, tumasanga aphatlai nikho agel doh’e. Tunla agalmite khutnoija aum tan koimacha apanhu ding aum tapoi. Agalmiteuvin ajep lhu’uvin alhu ho chu aveuvin anuisat’un ahi.
In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands she received no help. Her enemies looked upon her, laughing at her downfall.
8 Achonset behseh jeh'in Jerusalem ponse bangin paimangin aumtan. Tumasanga anagel thupi hon, tuhin anoisetauve, ajehchu aponu kiho-lhah peha jumle jachat thoha um ahitaove. Hijeh chun hahdoh ngamlou hella khoisa jing jenga um ahitai.
Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her now despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away.
9 Amaho hin a khonung diu kigel phah louhelin jonthanhoina in akisuhboh uve. Amaho a kemsuh jing tauvin, a lhamon diu aphong ding diu koima aum tapoi. Pakai ka hahsetnao nei vetpeh un tin akap tauve.
Her uncleanness stains her skirts; she did not consider her end. Her downfall was astounding; there was no one to comfort her. Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!
10 Galmiten ajokhophelun anei jouseu akichom tauve. Pakaiyin a Hou-in sunga lut dia anaphallou nam dangte chun ahouin sungu asuh boh pehu chu amudoh tauvin ahi.
The adversary has seized all her treasures. For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary— those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly.
11 Amiteu nehding hollin apeng jen jun tauvin, a hinjouna diuvin anei agouvu ajohdohun, vo Pakai neihin veuvin e-chan geija thet le kidah’a ka um’u hitam tin akap tauve.
All her people groan as they search for bread. They have traded their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. Look, O LORD, and consider, for I have become despised.
12 Vo chele vahle, hilang hin hopa ho hiche thilsoh hi ija na gellou u-ham? Pathenin ka chunguva alunghan abuhlhah nale eibol gimnau hi vetem uvin.
Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see! Is there any sorrow like mine, which was inflicted on me, which the LORD made me suffer on the day of His fierce anger?
13 Aman vanna konin meikong ahin sep lhan kagu kachang’u ahalgo tai. Aman ka lampi uva thang a kamin eile hoitauve. Aman eichom thengselun nilhum lhumin hahsatna eithoh sahun ahi.
He sent fire from on high, and it overpowered my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.
14 Ka chonsetnao khaovin eikanun sohchanna nam kolin eihenun ahi. Pakaiyin katha’u eisuh ngoi pehun kagal miteu komah eipedohun akhutuva chatmon ka um taove.
My transgressions are bound into a yoke, knit together by His hand; they are draped over my neck, and the Lord has broken my strength. He has delivered me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.
15 Pakaiyin kalah'uva um kami hatteu thaneina asulhan kakhang thahteo suhmangna dingin galmite amangchan ahi, Pakaiyin lengpithei chilna akisuhchip bangin akhopi hoitah chu a suchip tan ahi.
The Lord has rejected all the mighty men in my midst; He has summoned an army against me to crush my young warriors. Like grapes in a winepress, the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
16 Hicheho jouse jeh'in kakapin kamitlhi kamaija alonglha jenjung jingin ahinlah koima eilhamon ding le eitilhembi ding aum pon ahi. Galmiten eijou khup del tauvin, kakhang thahte’u khonung ding jong abing tan ahi.
For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Jerusalemin panpi ngaiyin akhut alhang dohin ahinlah apanpi ding amu joupoi. Pakaiyin Ami Isrealte chunga, aheng akom ho chu agalmi asohdoh pehhan! Ama ho hi ponse banga paimanga um ahitai.
Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed against Jacob that his neighbors become his foes. Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
18 Jerusalemin aseiyin Pakai hi adih’e, ajeh chu keiman ama dounan na kana tong’e, chitin namtinin ka thusei hi neingai pehun, ka thoh gimna hi neihet pehun, ka chanute’u leh ka chapate’u khol gamla taha galhingin eikaimang peh tauve.
The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against His command. Listen, all you people; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into captivity.
19 Keiman kaloi kagolte koma kithopina kathumin amahonla eingai peh pouve. Ka themputeu leh ka lamkaiteu khopi sung’a kelin athi gam tauve, ahinkhou kihuhdohna ding aholun amu jou pove.
I called out to my lovers, but they have betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
20 Pakai kalung lengvaina neivetpehin, ka chonset jeh'in ka lungthim ahesoh’e, kholai dung’a kitha tona aumin insung lang’a thilong aki jam’e.
See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am churning within; my heart is pounding within me, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is death.
21 Ka lung gim ka khoisatna mitam tahin eijah pehin ahinlah koima chan eihung lhamon pon ahi. Ka galmiten kathoh gimna ajah phatun Pakai nangin neibolnao hi akipa piuvin ahi. Oh Pakai keiho thoh tobang banga amaho nathohsah dinga naseipihnao nikhochu lhunsah loiyin.
People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that You have caused it. May You bring the day You have announced, so that they may become like me.
22 Pakai ka chonsetnao jeh'a nei engbol bangu chun amahon eibolsetnao hi venlang amahojong engbolin. Ka lengvainao hi atamvalin ka lungthim sung’u asuna lheh jeng’e.
Let all their wickedness come before You, and deal with them as You have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is faint.
