Khuinae 2
1 Bawipa ni Zion canu dawkvah, a lungkhueknae tâmai hoi muen a ramuk toe. Isarel miphun e a minhawinae teh kalvan hoi talai dawk a tâkhawng toe. Ama e a lungkhueknae hnin nah, amae khok toungnae hai a pahnim toe.
How hath 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 Bawipa ni pahren laipalah Jakop onae hmuen pueng a raphoe pouh. Ama e a lungkhueknae hoi Judah canu e rapanimnaw hah talai totouh a sin teh, a uknaeram hoi a bawinaw hai he a raphoe pouh.
The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and its princes.
3 A lungkhueknae hmai a kak teh, Isarel miphunnaw e ki pueng hah a tâtueng pouh. A taran hmalah aranglae a kut a la pouh. A tengpam e hmaipalai ka thaw e patetlah Jakop canaw teh a kamtawi toe.
He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth on every side.
4 Taran patetlah a kangdue teh aranglae kut hoi licung hah a sawn. Zion canu lukkareiim dawk, a meikahawi e naw pueng hah be a thei teh, hmai patetlah lungkhueknae a rabawksin.
He hath 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 Bawipa ni a taran teh, Isarel miphun hai thoseh, imkahawinaw hai thoseh a payawp toe. Rapanimnaw hai he a raphoe toe. Judah canunaw e khuikanae hoi cingounae hoe a pung sak.
The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 Lukkareiim hah takha patetlah koung a raphoe pouh. A sungren sak e pawi hah a raphoe pouh. Zion khopui dawk pawi a sak e hoi Sabbath hnin hah Bawipa ni a pahnim sak. A lungkhuek lawi siangpahrang hoi vaihma hah a hnoun pouh.
And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and in the indignation of his anger hath despised the king and the priest.
7 Bawipa ni amae thuengnae khoungroe hah a pahnawt toe. Ama e hmuen kathoung hah a panuet toe. Siangpahrang im kalupnae hah taran kut dawk a poe toe. Ahnimanaw teh pawitonae hnin patetlah Bawipa e im dawk a hramki awh.
The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath 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 BAWIPA ni Zion canu e rapan hah raphoe hane a noe e patetlah raphoe hanelah a kut hno hoeh. Bangnuenae rui a payang teh, athung lae rapan hoi alawilae rapan hah khuikanae lah reirei a coung sak.
The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 A tungdumnae longkhanaw teh talai thung lah a bo toe. Longkha tarennae sumtaboungnaw teh, koung kâkhoe toe. Siangpahrang hoi bawinaw teh Jentelnaw rahak ao awh teh, kâlawk awm hoeh. Profetnaw hai Bawipa koehoi vision hmawt awh hoeh toe.
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; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
10 Zion canu e kacuenaw teh, vaiphu a lû dawk a kâphuen awh te, buri a kâkhu teh, tanglakacuem teh amamae a lû hah talai dawk a saling awh.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Camoca hoi sanu ka net naw ni khopui thung lamnaw dawk sut a kamlei awh teh, ka miphun tanglanaw a rawk dawkvah, ka mitphi a bo teh, ka lungthin teh runae a kâhmo.
My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled, my liver is poured upon 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 Ahnimanaw teh, a hmâ ka cat e patetlah khopui thung lamnaw dawk sut a kamlei awh teh, a manunaw e lungtabue dawk amamae a hringnae hah a awi awh teh, a manunaw koe satun hoi misurtuinaw hah nâmaw ao telah a pacei awh.
They say to their mothers, Where is grain 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 Oe Jerusalem canu nang teh, kai ni bangtelamaw na bangnue han. Bangmaw na panue sak han. Bangtelamaw na o ka ti han. Oe Zion canu tanglakacuem, nang na lungroum thai nahanlah kai ni bangtelamaw lung na pahawi han. Nang e na rawknae teh tuipui patetlah a kaw dawkvah, apinimaw nang teh na dam sak thai han.
What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
14 Nange profetnaw teh, dumyennae hoi payonnae vision hah nang hanelah a hmu awh teh, na onae dawk bout o sak hanelah, nange yonnae pâpho laipalah, huenghai onae pathunae hnonaw hoi nangmouh na dum awh teh, a pathang awh toe.
Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not revealed thy iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 Lam dawk ka cet kaawmnaw pueng ni, kut na tabawng sin awh teh, na kayasak awh. A lû a kahek awh teh, talai van pueng dawk e kanawm poung e teh, hete khopui maw telah Jerusalem canu hah ati awh.
All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and shake 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 tarannaw pueng ni nang koe lah pahni a ang awh teh, a hâ cakkarue teh, maimanaw hah na payawp toe. Hete hnin teh maimouh ni ring e hnin doeh, maimouh ni hmu awh toe ati awh.
All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: 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 BAWIPA ni a noe tangcoung e hno hah a sak toe. Ayan hoi ka ti han ati e a lawk hah a kuep sak toe. Pahrennae awm laipalah, a raphoe toe. Taran teh nang dawkvah, a lunghawi sak teh taran e a ki teh a ouphlawp toe.
The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thy enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thy adversaries.
18 Ahnimouh teh a lungthin thung hoi Bawipa koe a hramki awh. Oe Zion canu e rapan, nange mitphi teh, palang tui ka lawng e patetlah karum khodai pout laipalah lawng naseh. Nama hai kâhat hanh. Na mit hai kâhat sak hanh.
Their heart cried to the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thy eye cease.
19 Karumsaning hai thaw nateh, hram haw. Bawipa e a hmalah, na lungthin teh, tui patetlah rabawk haw. Lam tangkuem vah a vawn ka hlam niteh, sut ka yan e camonaw a lungngai kuep thai nahanelah, na kut hah ahnimouh koe lah dâw haw.
Arise, cry out 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 toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 Oe BAWIPA, apimaw hettelah ka tet e hah, khen nateh pouk haw. Napuinaw ni ama ni a cun e camonaw hah a ca han namaw. Vaihmanaw hoi profetnaw teh BAWIPA e a thoungnae hmuen dawkvah, thei awh han na maw.
Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Camo hoi matawngnaw teh talai dawk a kamlei awh toe. Kaie tami, thoundoun tanglakacuemnaw hai tahloi hoi koung a kamlei toe. Na lungkhueknae hnin dawk ahnimouh teh pahren laipalah na thei teh koung na raphoe toe.
The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thy anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.
22 Pawi hnin dawk coun e patetlah tengpam pueng vah kai ni ka taki e hno hah na coun toe. BAWIPA lungkhueknae hnin dawk ka hlout ni teh kahring e tami ni buet touh hai awm hoeh. Ka kawkhik e camonaw patenghai ka tarannaw ni koung a raphoe toe.
Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors on every side, so that in the day of the LORD’S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath my enemy consumed.
