Lamentations 5
1 Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Look and see our disgrace!
Pakai ka chunguva thilsoh ho hi hingeldoh temin, ven ichan geija vetset ka chan’u hitam?
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.
Ka goulo diu chengse hi namchom miho achang tauvin, Ka in ka lou jouseu la gamchom miho’a ahitai.
3 We have become fatherless orphans; our mothers are widows.
Keiho hi nunei lou panei lou kahi tauvin, kanuteu jong meithai ahi gam tauve.
4 We must buy the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.
Ka dondiu twi jeng jong kakichoh thu diuvin aumdoh tan, Ti ding thing jeng jong kakichoh thudiu ahitai.
5 We are closely pursued; we are weary and find no rest.
Eihin nungdelteuvin eihin phah pai dingu ahitan, Keiho ka haisam tauvin, ahinlah kingahna ding mun ka neipouve.
6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
Neh leh chah ning lhinga kanei jouseu, Ka kihinso jou nadiuvin Egypt leh Asssyria khutna ka kipelut tauvin ahi.
7 Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their punishment.
Kapu kapateu ana chonseuvin ahinlah amaho athi gamtauve, Hijeh chun amaho chan ding thoh gimna leh engbolna hi keiho chunga achu tan ahi.
8 Slaves rule over us; there is no one to deliver us from their hands.
Ka sohteu chu tun keiho Pakaiyin apang gamtauvin, ahinlah koima eihuhdoh diu aum pon ahi.
9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the wilderness.
Gamsun’a pum hatin vai ahop jeh'in thiding kicha pum pumin anneh kakiholun ahi.
10 Our skin is as hot as an oven with fever from our hunger.
Kel khoh jeh'in ka vousou tapkonga changlhah kikang bangin avom gam tai.
11 Women have been ravished in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah.
Kagal miteuvin Jerusalema numei ho Judah khosunga nungah khang dong ho kichep nan anei gamtauve.
12 Princes have been hung up by their hands; elders receive no respect.
Ka lengteu jong akhutpiuvin akhaisangun, Ka lamkaiteu jong noise tahin ei bolpeh tauvin ahi.
13 Young men toil at millstones; boys stagger under loads of wood.
Gollhang ho chu sumhei goi dingin akaimangun, chuleh pasal chapang ho chu tiding thing aputsahnauva a lonlele jeng tauvin ahi.
14 The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.
Lamkai ho khopi kelkot ngahin apang tapouve. Khangthahten lam leh la sah abol tapouvin ahi.
15 Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.
Kana lam nao chu lung khamna asohdoh tan, Ka lungsunguva kipana abeitai.
16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
Ka luchang uva konin ka lallukhuhu alhamang gam tai. Ka chonset jeh'un ka chung uva sapsetna achu tai.
17 Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—
Hijeh hin kalungu alhalhop tan chuleh kamit uvah mitlhi adimtan ahi.
18 because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.
Ajehchu Jerusalem hi akeosehin aki jam tan, Sialten lhat nan anei tauve.
19 You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.
Ahinlah Pakai nangma abang na hi jing jeng e, nalal touna chu akhang khangin aum jing e.
20 Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
Ipi dinga nei suhmil jing nahlaiyu ham? Ipi dinga donlou dai louva neikoi nahlaiyu ham?
21 Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,
O Pakai neikiledohsah kitnun lang nangma komma nei puilut kittauvin! Ka kipanao masa chu neipe kittaovin!
22 unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
Ahilou leh neipui doh mong mong diu hitam? Ole Ka chunguva nalung hangjing nalai ham?
