Lamentations 4
1 How gold has tarnished! Even pure gold has lost its shine! Jewels from the Temple have been scattered on every street corner.
Ninia sinenemegi gouli da gumi dagoi. Debolo Diasu gagui gele da logoba: le, afagogolesi diala.
2 Look at how the precious people of Zion, worth their weight in gold, are now valued like cheap clay jars made by a potter!
Dunu da gouli bagadewane hanai, amo defele, Saione moilai bai bagade ayeligi amola a: fini da ninima dogolegei. Be wali, ninima ha lai dunu ilia da ninia ayeligi amola a: fini amo osoboga hamoi ofodo agoai ba: sa.
3 Even jackals nurse their young at their breasts, but the women of my people have become cruel, like an ostrich in the desert.
‘Wufi’ wa: me eme da ea manoma ha: i manu imunusa: dawa: Be na fi dunu da dalamole sio agoane, ilia manoma hame asigisa.
4 The nursing babies are so thirsty that their tongues stick to the roof of their mouths. Little children beg for food, but nobody gives them anything.
Ilia da mano dudubuma ha: i manu amola hano hame iabeba: le, ilia mano da udigili bogogia: sa. Mano ilia da ha: ga, ha: i manu ha: giwane edegesa, be dunu afaega ilima hamedafa iaha.
5 Those who used to eat gourmet food now die starving in the streets. Those who dressed in fine clothes from their childhood now live in heaps of rubbish.
Dunu amo da musa: ha: i manu ida: iwane nasu, be ilia da logoba: le udigili ha: ga bogogia: lala. Dunu amo musa: ilia ame amola ilia ada ilia da bagade gaguiwane noga: le bugili iasu, be wali ilia da isu salasua gila: leboba: sa lafia: sa.
6 Jerusalem's punishment is worse than sinful Sodom's, which was destroyed in a brief moment, without the help of human hands.
Sodame fi dialu da Gode Ea hamobeba: le hedolowane se nabawane dafai. Be na fi ilia se dabe iasu da amo ilia se dabe iasu baligi dagoi.
7 Her leaders were purer than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies were a healthier red than coral, and they shone like lapis lazuli.
Ninia hina bagade ea mano da ledo hamedei, hou noga: i amo da fedege agoane ahea: iya: i anegagi ofo defele ba: su. Ilia da gasa bagade, mae olole, dagumui amola hahawane bagade ba: i.
8 But now they look blacker than soot; no one recognizes them in the street. Their skin has shrunk to their bones and is as dry as wood.
Be wali, ilia da udigili logoba: le, ilia odagi da ginafoi, ilia da: i da hafoga: le, ifa bioi agoane ba: le, geloga: le, gasa dabua heda: i ba: sa.
9 Those killed by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger, who slowly waste away in agony because the fields produce no crops.
Dunu da ha amoga gegenana bogoi, ilia da hedolowane hale bogolegai. Be dunu amo da fa: no bogogia: i, ilia da ha: ga se lalaba ahoanawane bogogia: i.
10 The hands of loving women have cooked their own children to eat during the destruction of Jerusalem.
Gugunufinisisu hou da na fi dunuma doaga: beba: le, ilia da bagade beda: i. Eme ilia da ili dogolegei mano amo ili gobele mai.
11 The Lord has given full expression to his anger. He has poured out his fury. He has started a fire in Zion, and it has burned down her very foundations.
Hina Gode da Ea gasa bagade ougi hou ilima iasi. E da Saione moilai bai bagade laluga ulagisili, moilai bai bagade da huluane nene sa: i.
12 No king on earth—in fact nobody in all the world—thought that an enemy or attacker could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
Fifi asi gala dunu huluanedafa amola ga fifi asi ouligisu dunu, ilia da ha lai dunu da Yelusaleme logo ga: su golili sa: imu Amo da hamedei agoane dawa: i.
13 But this happened because of the sins of her prophets and the wickedness of her priests, who shed the blood of the innocent right there in the city.
Be ha lai da golili sa: i dogoi. Bai Yelusaleme fi balofede dunu ilia wadela: le hamoi, amola ilia gobele salasu dunu da moloidafa dunu amo medole legema: ne hamoi.
14 They wandered like blind men through the streets, made unclean by this blood, so no one would touch their clothes.
Yelusaleme ouligisu dunu da si dofoi dunu agoai, udigili logoba: le dadoula ahoanusu. Ilia da: i da maga: mega uduli gafoiba: le, enoga ili digimu higa: i galu.
15 “Go away! You're unclean!” people would shout at them, “Go away, go away! Don't touch us!” So they ran away and wandered from country to country, but the people there told them, “You can't stay here!”
Dunu ilia da amane halale sia: i, “Gasigama! Dilia da ledo hamoi dagoi! Na mae digima!” Amaiba: le, ilia da fifi asi gala amoga da: neboba: lafia: i. Be ili da enoga hame lale sali.
16 The Lord himself has scattered them; he doesn't bother with them anymore. Nobody respects the priests, and nobody admires the leaders.
Hina Gode Hisu da ili afagogolesi. Bai E da ili yolesi dagoi. Hina Gode da ninia gobele salasu dunu amola ninia ouligisu dunu ilima hame asigi galu.
17 We wore out our eyes pointlessly looking for help the whole time; we watched from our towers for a nation to come that couldn't save us.
Ninia da fidisu hohogola lai, be hamedafa ba: i. Ninia da fifi lai dunu enoga nini fidima: ne ouesalu, be enoga nini fidisu hame ba: i.
18 The enemy tracked our every movement so we couldn't walk through our streets. Our end approached. Our time was up because our end had come.
Ninima ha lai dunu da nini medomusa: desega dialu. Amaiba: le, ninia da logoba: le lafia: lumu gogolei. Ninia eso da baligi dagoi ba: i. Dagosu da doaga: i.
19 Our pursuers were faster than eagles in the sky. They chased us across the mountains and ambushed us in the desert.
Buhiba da hedolowane muagadonini gogila dabe defele, ilia da nini gagumusa: segala: i. Ilia da agolo damana nini gagumusa: segala: i. Ilia da nini hafoga: i sogega gagulaligiba: le, ninia da fofogadigi.
20 The king, the Lord's anointed, our country's “life-breath,” was trapped and captured by them. We had said about him, “Under his protection we will live among the nations.”
Hina Gode da ninia hina bagade ilegei. Amo dunu da ninia esalusu ea bai galu. Nini da ea fawane ninima ha lai dunu huluane ilima gaga: mu, amo dafawaneyale dawa: i. Be ninima ha lai ilia da ninia hina bagade gagulaligi.
21 Celebrate and be happy while you can, people of Edom, you who live in the land of Uz, because this cup will be passed to you too. You will get drunk and strip yourself naked.
Defea! Dilia Idome fi amola Ase fi dunu. Oufesega: ma! Nodomu galea, nodoma! Dilima gugunufinisisu da doaga: mu! Dilia amolawane da da: i nabadowane gogosiane dadoula masunu.
22 People of Zion, your punishment is coming to an end—he won't continue your exile for long. But he is going to punish your sins, people of Edom; he will reveal your sins.
Saione moilai bai bagade da ea wadela: i hou amo dabe i dagoi. Hina Gode da nini mugululi asi amo ganodini bu bagade hame esaloma: mu. Be Idome fi, dilia! Hina Gode da dilima se iasu imunu. E da dilia wadela: le hamobe, dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, olemu.
