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.
How the city sits solitary, that was full of people. She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations. She who was a princess among the provinces has become a forced laborer.
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 weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies.
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 gone into exile because of affliction and harsh servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her in the midst of her distress.
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 roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests groan: her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
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.
Her adversaries have become the head, her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
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.
All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion: her leaders have become like deer that find no pasture, they fled exhausted before the pursuer.
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 remembers in the days of her affliction and wandering all her precious things that were from the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and no one helped her. The adversaries saw her, they mocked at her desolations.
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.
Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she has become as an unclean thing; all who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yes, she groans, and turns away.
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.
Her filthiness was in her skirts; she did not remember her latter end; therefore her fall was astonishing; she has no comforter. "Look, LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself."
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 adversary has spread out his hand on all her precious things: for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
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.
All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their precious things for food to refresh the soul. "Look, LORD, and see, for I am despised."
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.
Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, with which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
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 overcame them. He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back. He has made me desolate and faint 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.
My transgressions are bound into a yoke; by his hand they are fastened together, they are set upon my neck; he has made my strength to fail. The LORD has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
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 rejected all my mighty men in my midst; he has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The LORD has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
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 weep; my eyes flow with tears; because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me. My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.
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 spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her. The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
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 righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please listen all you people, and see my suffering. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
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 called for my lovers, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders perished in the city, while they searched for food to refresh their souls.
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, LORD, for I am in distress; my stomach churns; my heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled. Outside the sword bereaves, in the house it is like 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.
They have heard that I groan; there is none to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it. Bring the day that you have proclaimed, so that they shall end up 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 wickedness come before you. Do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is faint.
