Lamentations 4
1 How is the golde become so dimme? the most fine golde is changed, and the stones of the Sanctuarie are scattered in the corner of euery streete.
Sui te bahoeng muhut, sui then khaw tho uh, lungto cim khaw tollong tom kah taphung ah a hawk uh.
2 The noble men of Zion coparable to fine golde, howe are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, euen the worke of the handes of the potter!
Zion ca rhoek loh suicilh neh lung vang a thuek te balae tih aka picai kut dongkah a bibi tuitang paikaek bangla a poek uh.
3 Euen the dragons draw out the breastes, and giue sucke to their yong, but the daughter of my people is become cruell like the ostriches in the wildernesse.
Pongui long pataeng rhangsuk a pumcum tih a ca a khut. Ka pilnam tanu tah kalaukva khuiah khosoek kah kalaukva bangla muen.
4 The tongue of the sucking childe cleaueth to the roofe of his mouth for thirst: the yong children aske bread, but no man breaketh it vnto them.
Tuihalh ah cahni kah a lai te a dang la kap tih camoe rhoek loh buh a hoe dae amih aka pae om pawh.
5 They that did feede delicately, perish in the streetes: they that were brought vp in skarlet, embrace the dongue.
Buhmong la aka ca rhoek te tollong ah aka pong, hlampai dongah aka tangnah rhoek loh natva ni a kop uh.
6 For the iniquitie of the daughter of my people is become greater then the sinne of Sodom, that was destroyed as in a moment, and none pitched campes against her.
Sodom kah tholhnah lakah ka pilnam nu kah thaesainah he rhoeng. Mikhaptok ah mael tih anih te kut long khaw a sambai moenih.
7 Her Nazarites were purer then the snowe, and whiter then ye milke: they were more ruddie in bodie, then the redde precious stones; they were like polished saphir.
A hlangcoelh rhoek te vuelsong lakah cil tih suktui lakah bok. A rhuhrhong te lungvang lakah, a pumrho te minhum lakah thimyum.
8 Nowe their visage is blacker then a cole: they can not knowe them in the streetes: their skinne cleaueth to their bones: it is withered like a stocke.
A suisak te amhmol lakah hmuep tih tollong ah hmat uh voel pawh. A vin a rhuh dongah ben uh tih thing koh bangla om.
9 They that be slaine with the sword are better, then they that are killed with hunger: for they fade away as they were striken through for the fruites of the fielde.
Khokha dongah rhok lakah cunghang dongkah rhok la om te then. Amih te khohmuen thaih loh a thun tih cae uh.
10 The hands of the pitifull women haue sodden their owne children, which were their meate in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Lungma nu rhoek kut loh a ca a thong uh tih ka pilnam canu kah pocinah dongah amih kah a caak la poeh uh.
11 The Lord hath accomplished his indignation: he hath powred out his fierce wrath, he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath deuoured the foundations thereof.
BOEIPA loh a kosi a sah tih a thintoek thinsa te a kingling. Zion ah hmai a hlup tih a khoengim a hlawp.
12 The Kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not haue beleeued that the aduersarie and the enemie should haue entred into the gates of Ierusalem:
Jerusalem vongka longah rhal neh thunkha a kun te diklai manghai neh lunglai dongkah khosa boeih boeih loh tangnah uh pawh.
13 For the sinnes of her Prophets, and the iniquities of her Priests, that haue shed the blood of the iust in the middes of her.
A tonghma rhoek kah tholhnah neh a khosoih rhoek kah thaesainah loh a khui ah hlangdueng kah thii a hawk sak.
14 They haue wandred as blinde men in the streetes, and they were polluted with blood, so that they would not touch their garments.
Tollong ah mikdael la vikvuek uh tih a pueinak te ben thai pawt ham thii neh nok uh.
15 But they cried vnto them, Depart, ye polluted, depart, depart, touch not: therefore they fled away, and wandered: they haue sayd among the heathen, They shall no more dwell there.
Amih rhalawt rhoek te, “Nong uh, nong, nong uh lamtah ben uh boeh,” tila a o uh. Yong khonghak tih a poengdoe uh vaengah, “Namtom taengkah bakuep ham khoengvoep uh boeh,” a ti uh.
16 The anger of the Lord hath scattered them, he will no more regard them: they reuerenced not the face of the Priestes, nor had compassion of the Elders.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih a taekyak te amih paelki ham a khoep moenih. Khosoih rhoek kah maelhmai khaw dan uh pawt tih patong neh hamca rhoek khaw rhen uh pawh.
17 Whiles we waited for our vaine helpe, our eyes failed: for in our waiting we looked for a nation that could not saue vs.
Amih a khoengvoep bangla kaimih khaw ka khoengvoep uh. Kaimih kah bomnah ham khaw kaimih mik ni a kha. Aka daem sak pawh namtom te kaimih kah rhaltawt lamloh n'rhaltawt thil khaw a honghi ni.
18 They hunt our steppes that we cannot goe in our streetes: our ende is neere, our dayes are fulfilled, for our ende is come.
Kaimih kah toltung ah pongpa ham kaimih kah kholaeh a thuih uh. Kaimih kah a bawtnah loh ha tawn uh tih kaimih kah khohnin a cup coeng dongah kaimih kah a bawtnah ha pawk coeng.
19 Our persecuters are swifter then the eagles of the heauen: they pursued vs vpon the mountaines, and layed waite for vs in the wildernes.
Kaimih aka hloem rhoek te vaan kah atha lakah kapyang la om uh. Kaimih he tlang ah n'hlak tih khosoek ah khaw kaimih n'rhongngol thil uh.
20 The breath of our nostrels, the Anoynted of the Lord was taken in their nets, of whome we sayde, Vnder his shadowe we shalbe preserued aliue among the heathen.
BOEIPA loh a koelh kaimih hnarhong lamkah hil pataeng amih kah rhomhmop ah man. Te te namtom taengah khaw, “A hlipkhup ah n'hing uh bitni,” n'ti uh dae ta.
21 Reioyce and be glad, O daughter Edom, that dwellest in the lande of Vz, the cuppe also shall passe through vnto thee: thou shalt be drunken and vomit.
Uz Kho kah khosa, khosa Edom nu rhoek ngaingaih uh lamtah kohoe sak uh. Nang te khaw boengloeng loh m'paan tih na rhuihmil neh na yan uh bitni.
22 Thy punishment is accomplished, O daughter Zion: he will no more carie thee away into captiuitie, but he will visite thine iniquitie, O daughter Edom, he wil discouer thy sinnes.
Zion nu nang kah thaesainah tah bawt tih nang poelyoe ham koei voel mahpawh. Edom nu nang kah thaesainah khaw a cawh vetih na tholhnah te a phoe ni.
