Khuinae 1
1 Tami moikapap kamkhuengnae khopui teh, tami kingkadi lah ao toe. Yampa teh ram pueng thung dawkvah kalenpounge khopui teh lahmainu patetlah ao toe. Ram pueng e a lathueng vah, bawi lah ouk kaawm e khopui teh san lah a pha toe.
See her seated by herself, the town which was full of people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow! She who was a princess among the countries has come under the yoke of forced work!
2 Tangmin vah, a lung ka rek lah a ka teh, a tamboung dawk a mitphi a lawng. A pahren e naw thung hoi ahni lung ka pahawi hane tami buet touh hai awm hoeh. A huinaw pueng ni a dum awh teh a taran lah koung ao pouh.
She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.
3 Judah miphun teh rektapnae thaw tawk sak hane san lah a man awh teh, a hrawi awh. Jentelnaw thung dawkvah, lungreithai hoi kho a sak awh. Ahnie hnukkâbang e naw pueng teh, reithai rucatnae dawk a pha awh.
Judah has been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.
4 Ka talue poung e pawi koe apihai a tho hoeh dawkvah, Zion lamthungnaw teh a khuika awh. Ahnie khopui longkhanaw pueng teh kingdi lah ao awh. Ahnie vaihmanaw teh a cingou awh. Ahnie tangla kathoungnaw hai lungrek nalaihoi amahoima a temdeng awh.
The ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.
5 A tarannaw teh akuepcing awh toe. Ahnie lawkeknae apap lawi vah, BAWIPA ni ahni teh, patawnae a khang sak. A canaw teh tarannaw hmaitung vah san lah a hrawi toe.
Those who are against her have become the head, everything goes well for her haters; for the Lord has sent sorrow on her because of the great number of her sins: her young children have gone away as prisoners before the attacker.
6 Zion canu e a meihawinae pueng teh be a kahma toe. A bawinaw teh, a pâ nahan kaawm hoeh e sayukhre patetlah ao awh toe. Ka pâlei e naw hmalah tha awm laipalah a yawng awh toe.
And all her glory has gone from the daughter of Zion: her rulers have become like harts with no place for food, and they have gone in flight without strength before the attacker.
7 Jerusalem khopui teh, kângai kâthungnae hoi rucatnae naw a kâhmo navah, yampa e a sungrennae hah a pouk. A taminaw teh taran kut dawk a pha navah, kabawmkung awm hoeh. A tarannaw ni asung e hah a hmu navah, a pacekpahlekkhai awh.
Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.
8 Jerusalem khopui teh puenghoi a yon toung dawkvah, hote hno teh panuettho e lah ao toe. Ahni ka oup e naw pueng ni ahni teh caici lah ao e a hmu dawkvah, banglah noutna awh hoeh. Ahni hai a cingou laihoi hnuklah a ban.
Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.
9 Ahnie a khinnae teh amae hnaboung dawk a kamnue eiteh, apout nahane pouk hoeh. A lung ka pahawi e tami awm hoeh. Kângairunae koe a pha toe. Oe BAWIPA taran ni tânae a hmu toung dawkvah, kaie reithai rucatnae hah na khen pouh haw.
In her skirts were her unclean ways; she gave no thought to her end; and her fall has been a wonder; she has no comforter: see her sorrow, O Lord; for the attacker is lifted up.
10 Taran ni a kut hoi hnopainaw pueng na lawp toe. Ahnimanaw hah nama e tamimaya kamkhuengnae thung kâen hanh telah na ngang e Jentelnaw ni ahnie hmuen kathoungpounge dawk a kâen awh e ka hmu.
The hand of her hater is stretched out over all her desired things; for she has seen that the nations have come into her holy place, about whom you gave orders that they were not to come into the meeting of your people.
11 Ahnie taminaw pueng teh cingou laihoi rawca a tawng nalaihoi, ao awh. A hring nahanelah, amamae hnopainaw hah rawca hoi athung awh. Oe BAWIPA kai teh dudamnae kâhmo toung dawkvah, khen nateh pouk haw.
Breathing out grief all her people are looking for bread; they have given their desired things for food to give them life: see, O Lord, and take note; for she has become a thing of shame.
12 Lam dawk ka cet cathuk takhang e pueng Cathut e puenghoi lungkhueknae hnin nah kai dawk pacekpahleknae ka sak e, kaie rucat patawnae patetlah kâhmo e tami o hoi o hoeh e khen nateh pouk awh haw. Nangmouh hoi kâkuen hoeh maw.
Come to me, all you who go by! Keep your eyes on me, and see if there is any pain like the pain of my wound, which the Lord has sent on me in the day of his burning wrath.
13 Nama ni a lathueng lahoi na tha e hmai teh kaie ka hru thung na bo sak. Ka khok hanelah tamlawk na yangda teh, hnuklah na kamlang sak. Kanîruirui kingkadi lah na ta teh thayung laipalah na o sak.
From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it has overcome them: his net is stretched out for my feet, I am turned back by him; he has made me waste and feeble all the day.
14 Kai ni kâ ka eknae hah hnori ka phu e patetlah ahnie kut hoi ka lahuen dawk a thueng teh, na yawngyen. BAWIPA ni ka thaonae hah a bo sak teh ka kangdue thai hoeh nahan ka sak e taminaw e kut thung na pha sak.
A watch is kept on my sins; they are joined together by his hand, they have come on to my neck; he has made my strength give way: the Lord has given me up into the hands of those against whom I have no power.
15 BAWIPA ni kaie tami athakaawmnaw hah ka thung hoi na takhoe pouh. Kai na ka taran niteh, kaie thoundounnaw raphoe hane tamihupui na kaw pouh. Bawipa ni Judah tanglakacuem hah misur katinnae tangkom dawk a katin.
The Lord has made sport of all my men of war in me, he has got men together against me to send destruction on my young men: the virgin daughter of Judah has been crushed like grapes under the feet of the Lord.
16 Hote kecu dawkvah, kai teh ka ka. Ka mit dawk hoi mitphi teh tui patetlah a lawng. Ka hringnae teh a lunghawi sak teh, lungkaroumsak hane tami teh kai hoi ka kâhla toe. Ka taran ni na tâ toung dawkvah, kaie ka canaw teh a kahma awh toe.
For these things I am weeping; my eye is streaming with water; because the comforter who might give me new life is far from me: my children are made waste, because the hater is strong.
17 Zion khopui teh a kut a dâw eiteh, a lungkaroumsak hane tami awmhoeh. BAWIPA ni Jakop teh a tengpam vah a tarannaw a hruek pouh toe. Jerusalem khopui teh ahnimouh rahak vah, kathounghoehe hno patetlah ao toe.
Zion's hands are outstretched; she has no comforter; the Lord has given orders to the attackers of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem has become like an unclean thing among them.
18 BAWIPA teh a lan, kâpoelawk kai ni ka ek toe. Oe miphun a buemlah, thai awh nateh kaie rucatnae hah khenhaw. Thoundounnaw hoi tanglakacuemnaw san lah be a hrawi awh toe.
The Lord is upright; for I have gone against his orders: give ear, now, all you peoples, and see my pain, my virgins and my young men have gone away as prisoners.
19 Ka pahren e nangmanaw kai ni na kaw awh. Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni kai dawk yuemkamcu awh hoeh. Kaie vaihmanaw hoi kacuenaw teh, hring nahane rawcanaw a tawng awh navah, kho thung vah be a due awh toe.
I sent for my lovers, but they were false to me: my priests and my responsible men were breathing their last breath in the town, while they were looking for food to give them new life.
20 Oe BAWIPA kai hah na khenhaw! Kai dawk reithai rucatnae a pha toe. Ka hringnae ni runae a kâhmo toe. Ka lungthin hai phang a kahma toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ni puenghoi ka payon toe. Alawilah tahloi e taran ao teh imthung hai duenae patetlah ao.
See, O Lord, for I am in trouble; the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved; my heart is turned in me; for I have been uncontrolled: outside the children are put to the sword, and in the house there is death.
21 Kaie ka cingounae lawk hai a thai eiteh, kai lungpahawikung awm hoeh. Kaie reithai rucatnae hah ka tarannaw abuemlah ni koung a thai toe. Ahnimouh ni nama ni na sak e hno dawk lung koung ahawi awh. Nama ni na pathang e hnin dawk a pha torei ahnimouh hai kai patetlah awm awh naseh.
Give ear to the voice of my grief; I have no comforter; all my haters have news of my troubles, they are glad because you have done it: let the day of fate come when they will be like me.
22 Ahnimae thoesaknae pueng heh nama e hmalah phat van naseh. Kai ni kâ ka eknae pueng kai koe a pha e patetlah ahnimouh dawk hai phat van seh. Kaie ka cingounae teh apap dawkvah, kaie ka lungthin teh a tâwn toe.
Let all their evil-doing come before you; do to them as you have done to me for all my sins: for loud is the sound of my grief, and the strength of my heart is gone.
