Ka La 2
1 Pakai alunghan jal'in Jerusalem khopi hoitah chu muthim lhangkhalin atome. Isreal khopi hoi jouse vutvam asoh gam tan, vanchung sanga konin selhah in a um’e. Pakai a lunghan behseh jeh in ahou in jeng jong khoto na anei tapoi.
Aleph. How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 Khotona beihel in Pakaiyin Isreal insung jouse a subeiyin, a lunghan nan Jerusalem kulpi len jouse a suchip gam’e. Aman aleng gam ule alengteu jong jum tahin tol jep nan anei gam tai.
Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof.
3 Pakai lunghan na noi a Isreal thaneina jouse a mangthah gam tai. Galmi ten ahin delkhum nauva jong a huhdoh tapon ahi. Aman Isreal gam pumpi chu meikong in ahal lhah bang in ahal gam tan ahi.
Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about.
4 Aman agalmite bangin amite chung a athalpi kaosan akoiyin, agollhang hoilai jouse thagam ding in atha aje doh in ahi. Loupitah Jerusalem chunga alunghan na meikong bangin abunglhan ahi.
Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his indignation like fire.
5 Pakaiyin Isrealte hi agalmi bang in a suhchip in, Aman loupitah Jerusalem chunga lungkham nale mitlhilon angahna beijin alhun khum sah’e.
He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women.
6 Aman houin jong honsunga buh kisa bang in a sulhun, Pakaiyin anikho thengho ahin, cholngah nikhoho le kut nikho thengho ahin suhmil thei leuvin asubei jin leng hole thempu ho jong a lungsat na noija a subei gam tan ahi.
Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath.
7 Pakaiyin amaicham jeng jong a nuse in, amuntheng jeng jong nahsah louvin akoiyin, Jerusalem lengpa inpi ho jong galmiho a pedoh’e. Amahon Pakai houin sung chu golnop kibolni bangin, o’thongje jun apoh chei choi jengun ahi.
Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 Khopi hoitah Jerusalem chu apal jouse suhlhah ding angaiton, aman atoh gon bang bang in a sulhu soh tan ahi. Hijeh chun pal hole palvum jouse jong amasanga alhusoh tan ahi.
Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together.
9 Jerusalem kelkot phung jouse jong tol ah aki jamchap soh helin, akel kot gol jouse jong aheh bongin a sumang soh tai. Jerusalem lengpa leh milen milal ho jong namtin vaipi laha akithe thangsoh taove. Danthu kitila abeitan Themgao hon jong Pakaiya konin mu anei tapouve.
Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
10 Khopi hoitah Jerusalem sunga lamkaiho tolla thip beh chan atouvun, a lujang uva leivui a kinuvin, khaodip pon akisil un, Jerusalem nungah jousen jum le jachat tothon a kaiku jeng taove.
Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Kamitlhi twi kan tokahin ka kap jingin, ka lungsung achip lhatai. Kholai dunga chapang neocha ho athileh aki saisaijuva, kamite hahsatna khankho ka mu jeh in ka lungthim sung jong akap doh jeng in ahi.
Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city.
12 Anuteu henga, Nehding le donding kangaichai tin athumun. Galsatpa galmunna akimavo bangin, kholai dunga thabeiyin apengun, anu teuvin apom nau chunga ahinkho’u abeithu thu jeng in ahi.
Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers.
13 Hichan geija lungkhamna toh ho chunga ipi kasei thei ding ham? Vo Jerusalem Chanute, na lung hesoh naohi ipitoh kitekah ding ahm? Oh Zion chanu thengte iti ka lhamon jou ding na hiuvem? Ajeh chu nathoh gimnao hi twikhanglen bangin athuh jengin koiham na boldam jou diu vah?
Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee?
14 Na themgao teuvinla jouthu ngen leh ngolhoi thu ngen na seipeh uvin, na soh chan nauva konna nahung kiledoh theina diuva na chonsetnau phondoh peh ding la ago pouvin, chutia bolsang in jouthu ngen jeng apat thu uvin, thil dihlou ngen na kinep sah jiuvin ahi.
Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.

Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth?
16 Nagalmite jousen na nelpeh un noise tah in anop nop na seikhumun, “suhmang dinga phat sottah ina nga’u chu tun ahung guilhung tai!” atiuve.
Phe. All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we have seen it.
17 Ahinlah hiche hi Pakaiyin a tohgon chu aboldoh ahin, hamsetna hunglhung dinga ana gonsa chu a suhbulhit ahi. Aman Jerusalem chu khotona beihella ana suhbei ahin, Aman agalmiteu chu amaho chunga thaneina anapeh ahi.
Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries.
18 Khopi hoi Jerusalem, Pakai angah hakan kap in, Sun le jan in vadung bangin na mitlhi long hen. kicholdo hihhel in; Na mitlhi lon jong tansah dan.
Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease.
19 Janlai jong leh thouvin pengjah jengin. Pakai angah na lung ngaichat twi bangin lonsah in. Nachateu dingin na taonao khut chu domsang jing un, ajeh chu kholai dung jousea gilkela lhalhop gamsoh ahitaove.
Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets.
20 Vo Pakai hiche thoh gimna hi gel temin! Na chate hi hiti lom lom’a nabol jing ding hitam? Minuten a angsunga hung kitolchem, achateu kisanhi aneh jeng diu hitam? Thempu holeh themgao ho kisan hi Pakai houin sunga kithat jeng ding hitam?
Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Ven, lamlen dunga kijam chap ho khu – Khangdong le tehseho, Numei chapang holeh pasal chapang ho, Galmite chemjam a thijeng ahiuve. Na lung han petin nathat gamin, Lungsetna beihelin nabol’e.
Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity.
22 Golvah nikhoa mipi nakou khom bangin, Muntin jousea tijatna nakoukhom’e. Pakai lunghanna nikhon, Koi macha a sohcha le ahingdoh a um poi. Kahin khoukhah le kahin puihoi chate chengse, Galmiten a thatgamsoh heltai.
Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them.
