Lamentations 1
1 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 tributary!
Mano kaka dala maduongʼ mane ji ngʼenyie odongʼ nono! Kinde moro ne en dala malich miwuoro to koro ochalo gi dhako ma chwore otho! Ne en ruoth madhako e kind pinje, to tinde osebedo misumba.
2 She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her loved ones she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies.
Oywak malit gotieno, pi wangʼe ridore e lembe. Kuom joherane duto, onge moro manyalo hoye. Osiepene duto osendhoge kendo gisebedo jowasike.
3 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 the distress.
Bangʼ sand gi tij achuna, Juda oseter e twech. Odak e dier ogendini kendo oonge kar yweyo. Jogo duto malawe osemake kapod en e chandruok malich.
4 The ways of Zion mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly. All her gates are desolate. Her priests sigh. Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
Yore madhiyo Sayun ywagore, nimar onge ngʼato mabiro e nyasi mag sewni moyier. Dhorangeye duto odongʼ nono maonge ji, jodologe ywak ka chur, jotichge ma nyiri okuyo, to en owuon en gi lit malich.
5 Her adversaries have become the head. Her enemies prosper. For Jehovah has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her young sons have gone into captivity before the adversary.
Wasike ema tinde otelone, kendo wasikego dhi maber. Jehova Nyasaye osekelone chandruok nikech richone mangʼeny. Nyithinde oseter e twech, kendo gisebedo kaka joma omaki e nyim wasigu.
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed. Her rulers have become like harts that find no pasture. And they have gone without strength before the pursuer.
Duongʼ mar loch duto mane nyar Sayun nigo oserumo. Jodonge chalo gi mwanda modenyo ma ok yud lum machamo, giringo ka gionge gi teko e nyim joma lawogi.
7 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 none helped her, the adversaries saw her; they mocked at her desolations.
E ndalo mane Jerusalem ni e chandruok kod chuny lit, noparo mwandune duto mane en-go e ndalo machon. Wasike nojare kendo onyiero kuom thagruok mage.
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned, therefore she has become as an unclean thing. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. Yea, she sighs, and turns backward.
Jerusalem osetimo richo madongo omiyo koro osebedo mochido. Ji duto mane omiye luor koro ochaye, nimar giseneno duge; kendo koro oywak kochur nikech wiye kuot.
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts. She did not think of her latter end. Therefore she has come down astonishingly. She has no comforter. Behold, O Jehovah, my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself.
Chilo ma en-go omienore e lepe, ne ok odewo gima biro timorene bangʼe. Nopodho malich miwuoro, to onge ngʼama ne nyalo hoye. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, neye chandruok ma an-go, nimar wasigu oseloyo.
10 The adversary has spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things. For she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom thou commanded that they should not enter into thine assembly.
Wasigu oseyako mwandune duto; oseneno ogendini ma jopiny ka donjoe kare maler mar lemo, jogo misekwero ni kik donji e kari maler mar lemo.
11 All her people sigh. They seek bread. They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul. See, O Jehovah, and, behold, for I have become abject.
Joge duto chur kaywagore ka gimanyo chiemo; giloko mwandugi mondo giyud chiemo, mondo gibed mangima. “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, neye kendo iparae, nimar ji ochaya.”
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye who pass by? Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought upon me. Therewith Jehovah has afflicted in the day of his fierce anger.
Un ji duto makadho, onge lich muneno kuom gima timorenani? Lokreuru anena mondo unee, ka bende nitiere masira machielo machalo gi masira moyudani, ma Jehova Nyasaye oseketo kuoma e odiechiengʼ mar mirimbe mager?
13 From on high he has 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 faint all the day.
Ne ooro mach koa e polo, modonjo e chokena. Nochiko obadho momako tiendena kendo nodwoka chien. Nomiya abedo modhier kadongʼ kenda ka aol maonge teko odiechiengʼ duto.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand. They are knit together. They have come up 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.
Richona osetwe e ngʼuta ka jok; adier osetweyogi gi lwete owuon. Oseketgi e ngʼuta kendo Ruoth Nyasaye osetieko tekra, bende osejwangʼa e lwet joma ok anyal loyo.
15 The Lord has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of 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 winepress.
“Ruoth Nyasaye osekwedo jolweny maga duto; osechoko jolweny mondo omonja, kendo otiek yawuota ma jolweny. Ruoth Nyasaye osekumo nyar Juda mapok ongʼeyo chwo e kare mar biyo olemb mzabibu.
16 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 sons are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.
“Ma emomiyo aywak kendo pi wangʼa mol e lemba. Onge ngʼat machiegni koda ma dihoya, bende onge ngʼat ma dikwe chunya. Nyithinda odongʼ kiye nikech wasigu oselocho.”
17 Zion spreads forth her hands. There is none to comfort her. Jehovah has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are round about him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
Sayun tingʼo bedene malo kaywak, to onge ngʼama nyalo hoye. Jehova Nyasaye oseketo chik ni Jakobo, ni jogo modak bute, mondo obed wasike; Jerusalem osebedo gima ochido e diergi.
18 Jehovah is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye makare, to kata kamano ne angʼanyo ne chikene. Winjuru, un ji duto; kendo neeuru kaka achandora. Yawuota gi nyiga osemaki moter e twech.
19 I called for my loved ones, 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.
Ne aluongo osiepena, to ne gindhoga. Jodolo maga gi jodonga notho e dala maduongʼ, kane gimanyo chiemo mondo gibed mangima.
20 Behold, O Jehovah, for I am in distress. My heart is troubled. My heart is turned within me. For I have grievously rebelled. Abroad the sword bereaves; at home there is as death.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nee kaka anie chandruok malich! Iya nyawni, kendo chunya chandore malich, nikech ok aseluoro chikeni. Lweny nego ji oko mar dala to ei dala bende tho nekoe.
21 They have heard that I sigh. There is none to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble. They are glad that thou have done it. Thou will bring the day that thou have proclaimed, and they shall be like me.
Ji osewinjo ywakna, to onge ngʼama dewa. Wasika duto osewinjo chandruokna; kendo gimor kuom gik ma isetimona. Mad ikel odiechiengʼ mane iselando mondo omi gichal koda.
22 Let all their wickedness come before thee, and do to them, as thou have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
We mondo timbegi mamono ochop e nyimi; kendo timnegi, mana kaka isetimona kuom richona duto. An gi pek mangʼeny kendo chunya onyosore.
