< Lamentations 2 >

1 How hath the Lord darkened the daughter of Zion in his wrath! and hath cast downe from heauen vnto the earth the beautie of Israel, and remembred not his footestoole in the day of his wrath!
Balae tih ka Boeipa loh Zion nu te a thintoek neh a yaal thil‍? Israel kah a boeimang khaw vaan lamloh diklai la a voeih pah coeng‍. Te dongah a kho kah khotloeng pataeng a thintoek hnin ah a poek moenih‍.
2 The Lord hath destroyed al the habitations of Iaakob, and not spared: he hath throwen downe in his wrath ye strong holds of the daughter of Iudah: he hath cast the downe to ye ground: he hath polluted the kingdome and the princes thereof.
Ka Boeipa loh a dolh phoeiah la Jakob toitlim boeih te lungma a ti moenih‍. A thinpom neh Judah nu kah hmuencak khaw a koengloeng pah‍. A ram neh a mangpa te diklai la a khueh pah tih a poeih pah‍.
3 Hee hath cut off in his fierce wrath all the horne of Israel: he hath drawen backe his right hand from before the enemie, and there was kindled in Iaakob like a flame of fire, which deuoured rounde about.
Thintoek thinling ah Israel ki khaw boeih a ngun sak‍. A thunkha mikhmuh ah a hnuk la bantang kut a maelh vaengah Jakob dongah hmaisai hmai bangla a dom tih a kaepvai a hlawp pah‍.
4 He hath bent his bowe like an enemie: his right hand was stretched vp as an aduersarie, and slewe al that was pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he powred out his wrath like fire.
Thunkha bangla a lii a phuk tih rhal bangla amah bantang ah pai‍. A mik ah ngailaemnah boeih te a ngawn tih Zion nu kah dap ah hmai bangla kosi a hawk pah‍.
5 The Lord was as an enemie: he hath deuoured Israel, and consumed all his palaces: hee hath destroyed his strong holdes, and hath increased in the daughter of Iudah lamentation and mourning.
Ka Boeipa he thunkha bangla om‍. Israel a dolh tih a impuei boeih khaw a dolh pah‍. A hmuencak a phae pah tih Judah nu kah rhahdueknah neh ngueknah a ping sak‍.
6 For hee hath destroyed his Tabernacle, as a garden, hee hath destroyed his Congregation: the Lord hath caused the feastes and Sabbathes to bee forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his wrath the King and the Priest.
A po te dum bangla a hlaih tih a tingtunnah khaw a phae pah‍. BOEIPA loh Zion kah khoning neh Sabbath khaw a hnilh sak‍. A thintoek neh kosi dongah manghai neh khosoih khaw a tlaitlaek.
7 The Lord hath forsaken his altar: he hath abhorred his Sanctuarie: he hath giue into the hand of the enemie the walles of her palaces: they haue made a noyse in the House of the Lord, as in the day of solemnitie.
Ka Boeipa loh a hmueihtuk a hlahpham tih a rhokso khaw a hai coeng‍. Impuei vongtung khaw thunkha kut khaw ah a det‍. Te dongah tingtunnah khohnin bangla BOEIPA im ah ol a huel uh.
8 The Lord hath determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: hee stretched out a lyne: hee hath not withdrawen his hande from destroying: therefore hee made the rampart and the wall to lament: they were destroyed together.
BOEIPA loh Zion nu kah vongtung phae ham a moeh rhilam a toe coeng‍. A dolh lamloh a kut poem pawt tih rhalmahvong khaw a nguekcoi sak dongah vongtung khaw rhenten tahah‍.
9 Her gates are sunke to the grounde: he hath destroyed and broken her barres: her King and her princes are among the Gentiles: the Lawe is no more, neither can her Prophets receiue any vision from the Lord.
A vongka te diklai la buek tih muelh‍. A thohkalh khaw tlawt coeng‍. A manghai neh a mangpa rhoek khaw namtom taengah om‍. Olkhueng khaw tal tih a tonghma rhoek loh BOEIPA lamkah a mangthui te hmu uh pawh‍.
10 The Elders of the daughter of Zion sit vpon the grounde, and keepe silence: they haue cast vp dust vpon their heades: they haue girded them selues with sackecloth: the virgines of Ierusalem hang downe their heades to the ground.
Zion nu patong loh diklai ah ngol uh tih ngam uh‍. A lu ah laipi a phul uh tih tlamhni a vah uh‍. Jerusalem rhoek oila loh a lu te diklai la a buluk uh‍.
11 Mine eyes doe saile with teares: my bowels swell: my liuer is powred vpon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and sucklings swoone in the streetes of the citie.
Mikphi lamloh ka mik thana coeng‍. Ka pilnam nu kah pocinah‍, khorha toltung ah camoe neh cahni kah a rhae dongah ka ko he noong tih ka thin khaw diklai la a kingling‍.
12 They haue sayd to their mothers, Where is bread and drinke? when they swooned as the wounded in the streetes of the citie, and whe they gaue vp the ghost in their mothers bosome.
A manu rhoek taengah tah‍, “‍Cangpai neh misurtui ta‍?” a ti uh‍. Khopuei toltung ah rhok bangla rhae uh tih a hinglu te a manu kah rhang dongah a kingling uh‍.
13 What thing shall I take to witnesse for thee? what thing shall I compare to thee, O daughter Ierusalem? what shall I liken to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgine daughter Zion? for thy breach is great like ye sea: who can heale thee?
Jerusalem nu nang te metlam kang hih eh‍? Nang taengah metlam kan lutlat eh‍? Nang taengah ba nen lae ka tluk eh‍? Zion nu oila nang kan hloep ham akhaw na pocinah loh tuitunli bangla len tih unim nang aka hoeih sak ve‍.
14 Thy Prophets haue looked out vayne, and foolish things for thee, and they haue not discouered thine iniquitie, to turne away thy captiuitie, but haue looked out for thee false prophesies, and causes of banishment.
Na tonghma rhoek loh nang ham a poeyoek neh a rhorhap ni a hmuh uh‍. Na thongtlak kawng dongah thongtla la na mael ham vaengah nang kah thaesainah te a phoe uh moenih. Nang ham a poeyoek neh vuelvaeknah olrhuh ni a hmuh‍.
15 All that passe by the way, clap their hands at thee: they hisse and wagge their head vpon the daughter Ierusalem, saying, Is this the citie that men call, The perfection of beautie, and the ioye of the whole earth?
Longpuei kah aka cet boeih loh nang taengah kut a paeng uh tih kut a ving uh‍. Jerusalem nu nang taengah a lu a huen uh tih, “He khopuei tah Diklai pum kah omthennah sakthen rhuemtuet dae la nama?” a ti uh‍.
16 All thine enemies haue opened their mouth against thee: they hisse and gnashe the teeth, saying, Let vs deuoure it: certainely this is the day that we looked for: we haue founde and seene it.
Na thunkha boeih loh nang taengah a ka a ang uh tih hlip uh‍. No a tah uh tih‍, “‍N'dolh coeng‍, he khohnin he n'lamtawn bangla n'dang uh tih m'hmuh uh‍.
17 The Lord hath done that which he had purposed: he hath fulfilled his worde that he had determined of old time: he hath throwen downe, and not spared: hee hath caused thine enemie to reioyce ouer thee, and set vp the horne of thine aduersaries.
A olthui neh aka mueluem kah a mangtaeng te BOEIPA loh a saii‍. Hlamat kum lamloh a uen te a koengloeng coeng‍. Tedae lungma ti pawt dongah na rhal kah ki te a pomsang tih thunkha loh nang soah ko a khah‍.
18 Their heart cryed vnto the Lord, O wall of the daughter Zion, let teares runne downe like a riuer, day and night: take thee no rest, neither let the apple of thine eye cease.
A lungbuei tah ka Boeipa taengah pang‍. Zion nu vongtung aw‍, mikphi te soklong bangla suntla saeh‍. Namah te khoyin khothaih ah hilsangnah khueh boeh‍. Na mik mikhlang khaw ngam sak boeh‍.
19 Arise, cry in the night: in the beginning of the watches powre out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift vp thine handes towarde him for the life of thy yong children, that faint for hunger in the corners of all the streetes.
Khoyin khoyin ah thoo lamtah tamhoe laeh‍. Hlaemhmah pukthung ah na lungbuei te ka Boeipa mikhmuh ah tui bangla bueih‍. Longpuei takuem kah longrhai ah khokha lamloh aka rhae na camoe rhoek kah hinglu ham khaw amah taengah na kut phuel lah‍.
20 Beholde, O Lord, and consider to whome thou hast done thus: shall the women eate their fruite, and children of a spanne long? shall the Priest and the Prophet be slaine in the Sanctuarie of the Lord?
BOEIPA aw u taengah na poelyoe khaw so lamtah paelki‍. Huta loh amah thaihtae camoe hnatuem te ca tangkhuet saeh a‍? Ka Boeipa kah rhokso ah khosoih neh tonghma te ngawn saeh a‍?
21 The yong and the olde lie on the ground in the streetes: my virgins and my yong men are fallen by the sworde: thou hast slaine them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed and not spared.
Camoe patong loh tollong diklai dongah yalh uh‍. Ka oila rhoek neh ka tongpang rhoek khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh‍. Na thintoek hnin kah na ngawn tih lungma na ti kolla na ngawn‍.
22 Thou hast called as in a solemne daye my terrours rounde about, so that in the day of the Lordes wrath none escaped nor remained: those that I haue nourished and brought vp, hath mine enemie consumed.
Tingtunnah khohnin bangla ka rhihnah te ka kaepvai ah na hueh‍. BOEIPA kah thintoek khohnin ah hlangyong neh hlangsueng om pawh‍. Ka poeh tih ka pom te ka thunkha loh a khah coeng‍.
