Lamentations 2
1 How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down the beauty of Israel from heaven to the earth, and has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
Angraeng mah palungphuihaih hoiah Zion canu to ayaw hmoek boeh; Israel kranghoihaih loe van hoi long ah vah tathuk boeh; palung a phuihaih niah a khok koenghaih doeh panoek ai boeh.
2 The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. In his wrath he has thrown down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and the rulers thereof.
Jakob ohhaih ahmuennawk boih loe, Angraeng mah tahmenhaih tawn ai ah paaeh boih boeh; palungphuihaih hoiah Judah canu abuephaih to long ah vah pae phaeng boeh; prae hoi ukkung angraengnawk to panuet thok ah a sak boeh.
3 In fierce anger he has cut off all the horn of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. And he has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire which devours round about.
Palungphuihaih nung parai pongah Israel ih takii to takroek pae boih boeh; misa hma ah a thacakhaih bantang ban to azuh pae ving boeh; a taeng boih ka kangh hmai palai baktiah, Jakob imthung to kangh boih boeh.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary, and has slain all who were pleasant to the eye. He has poured out his wrath like fire in the tent of the daughter of Zion.
Misa baktiah angdoet moe, bantang ban hoiah kalii to anueng; palung koi kaom kaminawk to a hum boih; Zion canu ih kahni im nuiah palungphuihaih to hmai baktiah a kraih thuih.
5 The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. And he has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
Angraeng loe misa baktiah oh moe, Israel to paaeh boih boeh; siangpahrang ohhaih ahmuennawk doeh paaeh boih boeh; anih ih sipaenawk doeh a phraek pae boih moe, Judah canu palungsethaih hoi qahhaih to thap pae aep boeh.
6 And he has taken away his tabernacle violently, as a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Jehovah has caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. And in the indignation of his anger has despised the king and the priest.
Kahni im to takha thung ih buk baktiah a phraek pae moe, anih amkhuenghaih ahmuennawk doeh phraek pae boih; Zion ah sak ih poihnawk hoi Sabbathnawk to Angraeng mah pahnetsak boeh; palungphui parai pongah, siangpahrang hoi qaima doeh patoek pae boeh.
7 The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
Angraeng mah anih ih hmaicam to vah pae moe, anih ih hmuenciim doeh panuet pae boeh; siangpahrang im tapangnawk to misa ban thungah paek pae ving boeh; poihsakhaih niah kaom atuen baktiah, Angraeng imthung ah hang o buk boeh.
8 Jehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. And he has made the rampart and wall to lament, they languish together.
Zion canu ih sipae to phraek pae hanah Angraeng mah khokhan boeh; anih mah tahhaih qui to payuengh moe, phraek han thuih boeh, anih loe ban azuk ving mak ai; abuephaih ahmuen hoi sipaenawk loe palungboeng o moe, nawnto qah o.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her rulers are among the nations where the law is not. Yea, her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.
Anih ih khongkhanawk loe long ah krak rup boeh; thok takraenghaih thingnawk doeh adaem moe, a khaeh boih boeh; angmah ih siangpahrang hoi angraeng capanawk loe Gentel kaminawk salakah oh o; ukhaih daan to om ai boeh; nihcae ih tahmaanawk doeh Angraeng khae hoi hnuksak ih hmuen to tawn o ai boeh.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground. They 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.
Zion canu kacoehnawk loe long ah anghnut o moe, angam o sut boeh; angmacae lu nuiah maiphu to ang phuih o moe, buri kazii to angzaeng o; Jerusalem ih tangla cuemnawk doeh long ah akuep hoiah oh o.
11 My eyes fail with tears, my heart is troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young sons and the sucklings faint in the streets of the city.
Kai kaminawk ih canu to duek pongah mikkhraetui long moe, mik amtueng ai boeh; poek angpho sut boeh moe, kai ih pathin doeh long ah ka kraih awk boeh; nawkdinawk hoi tahnu nae nawktanawk doeh thazok o moe, vangpui loklamnawk ah angsong o sut boeh.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers' bosom.
Nihcae mah amnonawk khaeah, Naa ah maw takaw hoi misurtui to oh? tiah naa o; ahmaa kacaa baktiah thazok o moe, vangpui loklamnawk ah angsong o sut naah, amno saoek nuiah nawkta hinghaih qui to apet.
13 What shall I testify to thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea; who can heal thee?
Aw Jerusalem canu, timaw kang hnuksak han? Tih hoiah maw kang patah han? Nang pathloephaih tih hoiah maw kang patah han? Aw tangla cuem Zion canu, nam rohaih loe tuipui baktiah kawk; mi mah maw na hoisak thai tih?
14 Thy prophets have seen false and foolish visions for thee. And they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity, but have seen for thee false oracles and causes of banishment.
Nang ih tahmaanawk loe tidoeh avang o ai, amthuhaih ih hmuen ni ang hnuk pae o; misong ohhaih na loih o hanah, na sak pazae o ih hmuen to nihcae mah hnu o ai; amsoem ai hnuksakhaih hoi loklam amkhraenghaih ni ang hnuk pae o.
15 All who pass by clap their hands at thee. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
Na taengah caeh kaminawk boih mah nang han ban ang tabaeng o thuih; Jerusalem canu to pahnuih o thuih moe, lu ang haek o thuih; hae maw krang hoih koek long pum anghoehaih vangpui? tiah a thuih o.
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide 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.
Na misanawk boih mah nang han pakha ang angh o thuih; ang pahnuih o thuih moe, haa ang kaek o thuih; anih loe ka paaeh o boih boeh; hae ni ka zing o roe; ka khet o moe, ka hnuk o boeh, tiah a thuih o.
17 Jehovah has done that which he purposed. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. And he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee. He has exalted the horn of thine adversaries.
Angraeng loe sak han thuih ih lok baktih toengah sak moe, canghnii ah a thuih ih lok to koepsak boeh; tahmenhaih tawn ai ah paro boeh; na nuiah misa to anghoesak moe, na misanawk to takii tacawtsak tahang boeh.
18 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 respite. Let not the apple of thine eye cease.
Nihcae loe Angraeng khaeah palung thung hoi hang o; Aw Zion canu ih tapang, aqum athun tava baktiah na mikkhraetui to long nasoe; anghak hmah, na mik doeh anghaksak hmah.
19 Arise, cry out in the night, at 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 sons, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
Qum ah angthawk ah loe hang ah; Angraeng hma ah na palungthin tui baktiah krai ah; lamkrung kruekah thazok na caanawk to hing o thai hanah, angmah khaeah na ban to payangh ah.
20 See, O Jehovah, and behold to whom thou have done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the sons who are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Aw Angraeng, khenah, mi khaeah maw hae tiah na sak, tito poek ah. Nongpata mah a caanawk to caa tih maw? Qaima hoi tahmaa doeh Angraeng hmuenciim ah hum o tih maw?
21 The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. Thou have slain them in the day of thine anger. Thou have slaughtered, and not pitied.
Nawkta hoi mitongnawk loe loklam ah angsong o sut boeh; kacuem kaimah ih tangla hoi thendoengnawk doeh sumsen hoiah amtimh o boeh; palung na phuihaih niah nihcae to na hum; tahmenhaih tawn ai ah na hum.
22 Thou have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. And there was none who escaped or remained in the day of Jehovah's anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have dandled and brought up.
Poihsakhaih niah kaminawk kawk baktih toengah, zit kaom kaminawk mah kai to ang ven o khoep boeh; Angraeng palungphuihaih niah mi doeh loih mak ai, mi doeh anghmat mak ai; ka pacah ih kaminawk doeh ka misa mah paro boih boeh.
