Lamentations 1
1 And it came to pass, after Israel was taken captive, and Jerusalem made desolate, [that] Jeremias sat weeping, and lamented [with] this lamentation over Jerusalem, and said, ALEPH. How does the city that was filled with people sit solitary! she is become as a widow: she that was magnified amongst the nations, [and] princess amongst the provinces, has become tributary.
Phatkhat mi ana dimsetna Jerusalem khopi chu tunvang kho gem a sodoh tai. Chitin namtin laha ana minthang khopi chu tunvang meithai a sodoh tan ahi. Vannoi leiset lengnu dinmun ana lo chu tunvang soh dinmun alo jotai.
2 BETH. She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; and there is none of all her lovers to comfort her: all that were her friends have dealt deceitfully with her, they are become her enemies.
Jan khovah vah'in mitlhi long chutchut in akap in ana ngailu cheng holah a jong alhamon ding aum tapouvin aloi agol chengse la aheodah leh adou gal in apang gam tauvin ahi.
3 GIMEL. Judea is gone into captivity by reason of her affliction, and by reason of the abundance of her servitude: she dwells amongst the nations, she has not found rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between her oppressors.
Galhingin Judah akai taovin soh channa leh engbolna athoh tan ahi. Gam dang nammite laha achengun kicholdona mun amujou pouvin ahi. Agalmite uvin a umkimvel’un jamdoh thei louvin akoichah tauve.
4 DALETH. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the feast: all her gates are ruined: her priests groan, her virgins are led captive, and she is in bitterness in herself.
Jerusalem lampiho akhul lhatan koi macha Pathen houna kin bol dingin ahung doh tapouvin, khopi kotpihola donlouvin aumgamtan athempu hou akhoisa gam tauvin anungah khangthah teu akhankho diu gelnan akap gam tauve.
5 HE. Her oppressors are become the head, and her enemies have prospered; for the Lord has afflicted her because of the multitude of her sins: her young children are gone into captivity before the face of the oppressor.
A sugenthei houhi a Pakaiyun apang un ajalou teuchu akhantou tul tul jengun ahi. Pakaiyin achonset jih uva Jerusalem chu aengbol uva achateo galhinga kiman a gamla tah’a kikaimang gamu ahitauve.
6 VAU. And all her beauty has been taken away from the daughter of Sion: her princes were as rams finding no pasture, and are gone [away] in weakness before the face of the pursuer.
Jerusalem khopi, ahoinale aloupina chu amang thah ahi tai. Alamkaiteu jong neh ding ham hing mu joulou sakhigol toh abang gam tauvin, agalmiteo masanga jam doh nading tha jong anei jou tapouve.
7 ZAIN. Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, and her rejection; [she thought on] all her desirable things which were from the days of old, when her people fell into the hands of the oppressor, and there was none to help her: when her enemies saw [it] they laughed at her habitation.
Lung lengvaija Jerusalem avale laitahin, tumasanga aphatlai nikho agel doh’e. Tunla agalmite khutnoija aum tan koimacha apanhu ding aum tapoi. Agalmiteuvin ajep lhu’uvin alhu ho chu aveuvin anuisat’un ahi.
8 HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a [great] sin; therefore has she come into tribulation, all that used to honour her have afflicted her, for they have seen her shame: yes, she herself groaned, and turned backward.
Achonset behseh jeh'in Jerusalem ponse bangin paimangin aumtan. Tumasanga anagel thupi hon, tuhin anoisetauve, ajehchu aponu kiho-lhah peha jumle jachat thoha um ahitaove. Hijeh chun hahdoh ngamlou hella khoisa jing jenga um ahitai.
9 TETH. Her uncleanness is before her feet; she remembered not her last end; she has lowered her boasting [tone], there is none to comfort her. Behold, O Lord, my affliction: for the enemy has magnified himself.
Amaho hin a khonung diu kigel phah louhelin jonthanhoina in akisuhboh uve. Amaho a kemsuh jing tauvin, a lhamon diu aphong ding diu koima aum tapoi. Pakai ka hahsetnao nei vetpeh un tin akap tauve.
10 JOD. The oppressor has stretched out his hand on all her desirable things: for she has seen the Gentiles entering into her sanctuary, [concerning] whom you did command that they should not enter into your congregation.
Galmiten ajokhophelun anei jouseu akichom tauve. Pakaiyin a Hou-in sunga lut dia anaphallou nam dangte chun ahouin sungu asuh boh pehu chu amudoh tauvin ahi.
11 CHAPH. All her people groan, seeking bread: they have given their desirable things for meat, to restore their soul: behold, Lord, and look; for she is become dishonoured.
Amiteu nehding hollin apeng jen jun tauvin, a hinjouna diuvin anei agouvu ajohdohun, vo Pakai neihin veuvin e-chan geija thet le kidah’a ka um’u hitam tin akap tauve.
12 LAMED. All you that pass by the way, turn, and see if there is sorrow like to my sorrow, which has happened [to me]. The Lord who spoke by me has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
Vo chele vahle, hilang hin hopa ho hiche thilsoh hi ija na gellou u-ham? Pathenin ka chunguva alunghan abuhlhah nale eibol gimnau hi vetem uvin.
13 MEM. He has sent fire from his lofty habitation, he has brought it into my bones: he has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: he has made me desolate [and] mourning all the day.
Aman vanna konin meikong ahin sep lhan kagu kachang’u ahalgo tai. Aman ka lampi uva thang a kamin eile hoitauve. Aman eichom thengselun nilhum lhumin hahsatna eithoh sahun ahi.
14 NUN. He has watched over my sins, they are twined about my hands, they have come up on my neck: my strength has failed; for the Lord has laid pains on my hands, I shall not be able to stand.
Ka chonsetnao khaovin eikanun sohchanna nam kolin eihenun ahi. Pakaiyin katha’u eisuh ngoi pehun kagal miteu komah eipedohun akhutuva chatmon ka um taove.
15 SAMECH. The Lord has cut off all my strong men from the midst of me: he has summoned against me a time for crushing my choice men: the Lord has trodden a wine-press for the virgin daughter of Juda: for these things I weep.
Pakaiyin kalah'uva um kami hatteu thaneina asulhan kakhang thahteo suhmangna dingin galmite amangchan ahi, Pakaiyin lengpithei chilna akisuhchip bangin akhopi hoitah chu a suchip tan ahi.
16 AIN. Mine eye has poured out water, because he that should comfort me, that should restore my soul, has been removed far from me: my sons have been destroyed, because the enemy has prevailed.
Hicheho jouse jeh'in kakapin kamitlhi kamaija alonglha jenjung jingin ahinlah koima eilhamon ding le eitilhembi ding aum pon ahi. Galmiten eijou khup del tauvin, kakhang thahte’u khonung ding jong abing tan ahi.
17 PHE. Sion has spread out her hand, [and] there is none to comfort her: the Lord has commanded [concerning] Jacob, his oppressors are round about him: Jerusalem has become amongst them as a removed woman.
Jerusalemin panpi ngaiyin akhut alhang dohin ahinlah apanpi ding amu joupoi. Pakaiyin Ami Isrealte chunga, aheng akom ho chu agalmi asohdoh pehhan! Ama ho hi ponse banga paimanga um ahitai.
18 TSADE. The Lord is righteous; for I have provoked his mouth: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my grief: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
Jerusalemin aseiyin Pakai hi adih’e, ajeh chu keiman ama dounan na kana tong’e, chitin namtinin ka thusei hi neingai pehun, ka thoh gimna hi neihet pehun, ka chanute’u leh ka chapate’u khol gamla taha galhingin eikaimang peh tauve.
19 KOPH. I called my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders failed in the city; for they sought meat that they might restore their souls, and found [it] not.
Keiman kaloi kagolte koma kithopina kathumin amahonla eingai peh pouve. Ka themputeu leh ka lamkaiteu khopi sung’a kelin athi gam tauve, ahinkhou kihuhdohna ding aholun amu jou pove.
20 RHECHS. Behold, O Lord; for I am afflicted: my belly is troubled, and my heart is turned within me; for I have been grievously rebellious: abroad the sword has bereaved me, even as death at home.
Pakai kalung lengvaina neivetpehin, ka chonset jeh'in ka lungthim ahesoh’e, kholai dung’a kitha tona aumin insung lang’a thilong aki jam’e.
21 CHSEN. Hear, I pray you, for I groan: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard [of] mine afflictions, and rejoice because you have done [it]: you have brought on the day, you have called the time: they are become like to me.
Ka lung gim ka khoisatna mitam tahin eijah pehin ahinlah koima chan eihung lhamon pon ahi. Ka galmiten kathoh gimna ajah phatun Pakai nangin neibolnao hi akipa piuvin ahi. Oh Pakai keiho thoh tobang banga amaho nathohsah dinga naseipihnao nikhochu lhunsah loiyin.
22 THAU. Let all their wickedness come before your face; and strip them, as they have made a gleaning for all my sins: for my groans are many, and my heart is grieved.
Pakai ka chonsetnao jeh'a nei engbol bangu chun amahon eibolsetnao hi venlang amahojong engbolin. Ka lengvainao hi atamvalin ka lungthim sung’u asuna lheh jeng’e.
