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.
Oh how hath the Lord covered in his anger the daughter of Zion with a cloud; he hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the ornament of Israel; and he hath not remembered his footstool on 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.
The Lord hath destroyed and hath not pitied all the habitation of Jacob: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong-holds of the daughter of Judah: he hath thrown them down to the ground; he hath defiled the kingdom and its princes.
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.
He hath hewn away in his fierce anger the whole horn of Israel; he hath drawn back his right hand before the enemy; and he burnt against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth 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.
He bent his bow like an enemy; he held out his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye: in the tent of the daughter of Zion did he pour out like fire his fury.
5 Pakaiyin Isrealte hi agalmi bang in a suhchip in, Aman loupitah Jerusalem chunga lungkham nale mitlhilon angahna beijin alhun khum sah’e.
The Lord became like an enemy; he destroyed Israel, he destroyed all her palaces, he ruined her strong-holds, and he increased in the midst of the daughter of Judah groaning and wailing.
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.
And he violently wasted, as if it were a garden, his tabernacle; he destroyed his place of assembly: [yea, ] the Lord hath caused to be forgotten in Zion the solemn feast and the day of rest, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger both king and priest.
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.
The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath made void his sanctuary, he hath surrendered into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: they have made their voice to resound in the house of the Lord, as on a 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.
The Lord hath resolved to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; he stretched out the measuring-line, he withdrew not his hand from destroying: and he caused the rampart and the wall to mourn; together they languish.
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.
Sunk into the ground are her gates, he hath ruined and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the nations without any law; her prophets also obtain no more any 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.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they keep silence: they have thrown dust upon their head; they have girt themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem have brought down low their head 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.
My eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are heated, my liver is poured upon the earth because of the breach of the daughter of my people; because babes and sucklings faint away in the streets of the town.
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.
To their mothers they say, Where is corn and wine? when they faint away like the deadly wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out on the bosom of their mother.
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?
What shall I take to witness for thee? what shall I compare unto thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I find equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for great like the sea is thy breach; who can bring healing to 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.
Thy prophets foresaw for thee vain and deceptive things; and they did not lay open thy iniquity, to cause thy backsliders to return: but they foresaw for thee prophecies of falsehood and seduction.
15 Ache le avahle ho jousen na nel peh un khopi hoitah Jerusalem hi noise tah in atot chatvei khummun; “hiche hi vannoi leisetna khopi hoipen vannoi pumpin achoi sang uchu ham?” atiuve.
All that pass by [this] way clap their hands on account of thee; they hiss and shake their head over the daughter of Jerusalem: [saying, ] Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty. The joy for 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.
All thy enemies open wide their mouth against thee; they hiss and gnash their teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up: ah, truly this is the day that we hoped for; we have found, 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.
The Lord hath done what he had resolved; he hath accomplished his word which he had ordained already in the days of old; he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied; and he hath caused to rejoice over thee thy enemy, he hath raised on high 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.
Their heart crieth unto the Lord, O thou wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a stream day and night; allow thyself no rest; let not the apple of thy eye be still.
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.
Arise, complain aloud in the night, in the beginning of the watches; pour out like water thy heart before the face of the Lord: lift up toward him thy hands because of the life of thy babes, that faint away for hunger at the corner 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?
See, O Lord, and behold! to whom hast thou ever done the like? Shall women, then, eat their own fruit, the babes they have tenderly nursed? or shall there be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord the priest and the prophet?
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.
There lie down on the ground in the streets the lad and the ancient: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain on the day of thy anger; thou hast slaughtered, thou hast not pitied.
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.
Thou hast called, as it were on a festive day, my evil neighbors from round about; and there was not on the day of the Lord's anger one that escaped or remained: those that I had tenderly nursed and reared up my enemy brought to their end.
