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 slave!
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. Her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her lovers she has no one 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 captivity because of affliction and because of great servitude. She dwells among the nations. She finds no rest. All her persecutors overtook her in 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 sigh. 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 princes have become like deer that find no pasture. They have gone without strength 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 of her miseries all her pleasant 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 unclean. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. Yes, she sighs and turns backward.
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 didn’t remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, LORD, 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 pleasant 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 pleasant things for food to refresh their soul. “Look, LORD, and see, for I have become 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 has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet. He has turned me back. He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.
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.
“The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand. They are knit together. They have come up on my neck. He made my strength 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 set at nothing all my mighty men within me. He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a wine press.
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 eye, my eye runs down with water, 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 out her hands. There is no one 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 hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow. 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 gave up the spirit in the city, while they sought food for themselves 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.
“Look, LORD; for I am in distress. My heart is troubled. My heart turns over within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad, the sword bereaves. At home, 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 sigh. There is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble. They are glad that you have done it. You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and 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 wickedness come before you. Do to them as you have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
