Lamentations 5
1 Remember, O Lord, what is come vpon vs: consider, and behold our reproche.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, ririkana maũndũ marĩa matũkorete; ta rora wone gũconoka gwitũ.
2 Our inheritance is turned to the strangers, our houses to the aliants.
Igai riitũ nĩrĩneanĩtwo kũrĩ ageni, nayo mĩciĩ iitũ ĩgakĩneanwo kũrĩ andũ a kũngĩ.
3 We are fatherles, euen without father, and our mothers are as widowes.
Nĩtũtuĩkĩte ciana cia ngoriai na ciana itarĩ na maithe, nao manyina maitũ magatuĩka ta atumia a ndigwa.
4 Wee haue drunke our water for money, and our wood is solde vnto vs.
Maaĩ marĩa tũnyuuaga no tũgũrire; o na ngũ nĩkũgũra tũragũra.
5 Our neckes are vnder persecution: we are wearie, and haue no rest.
Arĩa matũingatithagia marĩ o magũrũ-inĩ maitũ; nĩtũnogete, na tũkaaga ũhurũko.
6 We haue giuen our handes to the Egyptians, and to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
Twĩneanĩte kũrĩ andũ a Misiri na a Ashuri nĩgeetha tuone irio cia gũtũigana.
7 Our fathers haue sinned, and are not, and we haue borne their iniquities.
Maithe maitũ nĩmehirie na rĩu matirĩ ho, na ithuĩ nĩ ithuĩ tũraherithio handũ hao.
8 Seruants haue ruled ouer vs, none would deliuer vs out of their hands.
Ngombo nĩcio itwathaga, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wa gũtũteithũra kuuma moko-inĩ ma cio.
9 Wee gate our bread with the perill of our liues, because of the sword of the wildernesse.
Tuonaga irio na ũndũ wa gũtwarĩrĩria mĩoyo iitũ ũgwati-inĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩa rũrĩ werũ-inĩ.
10 Our skinne was blacke like as an ouen because of the terrible famine.
Gĩkonde giitũ kĩhiũhĩte o ta riiko rĩa kũruga mĩgate, tũkainaina nĩ ũndũ wa kũhũũta.
11 They defiled the women in Zion, and the maydes in the cities of Iudah.
Andũ-a-nja nĩmanyiitĩtwo na hinya gũkũ Zayuni, nao airĩtu gathirange makanyiitwo na hinya matũũra-inĩ ma Juda.
12 The princes are hanged vp by their hande: the faces of the elders were not had in honour.
Anene akuo nĩ macuurĩtio na moko mao; athuuri nao matiheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
13 They tooke the yong men to grinde, and the children fell vnder the wood.
Aanake marutithagio wĩra wa hinya ithĩi-inĩ; tũmwana natuo tũtũgũũgaga nĩgũkuuithio mĩrigo ya ngũ.
14 The Elders haue ceased from the gate and the yong men from their songs.
Athuuri nĩmatigĩte gũikara kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene; aanake nao nĩmatigĩte kũina nyĩmbo ciao.
15 The ioy of our heart is gone, our daunce is turned into mourning.
Ngoro ciitũ nĩithirĩte gĩkeno; ndũrũhĩ ciitũ igarũrũkĩte igatuĩka macakaya.
16 The crowne of our head is fallen: wo nowe vnto vs, that we haue sinned.
Thũmbĩ ya ũnene nĩĩgwĩte, ĩgatuuma mũtwe, kaĩ tũrĩ na haaro-ĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩtwĩhĩtie!
17 Therefore our heart is heauy for these things, our eyes are dimme,
Tondũ ũcio ngoro ciitũ nĩiringĩkĩte; na tondũ wa maũndũ macio maitho maitũ makaira,
18 Because of the mountaine of Zion which is desolate: the foxes runne vpon it.
tondũ wa Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni, kĩrĩa gĩkirĩte ihooru, nacio mbwe rĩu nĩkuo iceeraga.
19 But thou, O Lord, remainest for euer: thy throne is from generation to generation.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, wathanaga nginya tene; gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene gĩtũũraga kuuma njiarwa nginya njiarwa.
20 Wherefore doest thou forget vs for euer, and forsake vs so long time?
Ũriganagĩrwo nĩ ithuĩ hĩndĩ ciothe nĩkĩ? Ũtũtiganĩirie hĩndĩ ndaaya ũguo nĩkĩ?
21 Turne thou vs vnto thee, O Lord, and we shalbe turned: renue our dayes as of olde.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, tũcookererie harĩwe, nĩguo tũhote gũgũcookerera; erũhia matukũ maitũ macooke o ta ũrĩa matariĩ tene,
22 But thou hast vtterly reiected vs: thou art exceedingly angry against vs.
tiga ũkorirwo nĩũtũregeete biũ, ũgagĩtũrakarĩra o mũno makĩria.
