Lamentations 2
1 How hath the Lord covered with a cloud the daughter of Zion in His anger! He hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and hath not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger.
Bawipa ni Zion canu dawkvah, a lungkhueknae tâmai hoi muen a ramuk toe. Isarel miphun e a minhawinae teh kalvan hoi talai dawk a tâkhawng toe. Ama e a lungkhueknae hnin nah, amae khok toungnae hai a pahnim toe.
2 The Lord hath swallowed up unsparingly all the habitations of Jacob; He hath thrown down in His wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He hath brought them down to the ground; He hath profaned the kingdom and the princes thereof.
Bawipa ni pahren laipalah Jakop onae hmuen pueng a raphoe pouh. Ama e a lungkhueknae hoi Judah canu e rapanimnaw hah talai totouh a sin teh, a uknaeram hoi a bawinaw hai he a raphoe pouh.
3 He hath cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He hath drawn back His right hand from before the enemy; and He hath burned in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
A lungkhueknae hmai a kak teh, Isarel miphunnaw e ki pueng hah a tâtueng pouh. A taran hmalah aranglae a kut a la pouh. A tengpam e hmaipalai ka thaw e patetlah Jakop canaw teh a kamtawi toe.
4 He hath bent His bow like an enemy, standing with His right hand as an adversary, and hath slain all that were pleasant to the eye; in the tent of the daughter of Zion He hath poured out His fury like fire.
Taran patetlah a kangdue teh aranglae kut hoi licung hah a sawn. Zion canu lukkareiim dawk, a meikahawi e naw pueng hah be a thei teh, hmai patetlah lungkhueknae a rabawksin.
5 The Lord is become as an enemy, He hath swallowed up Israel; He hath swallowed up all her palaces, He hath destroyed his strongholds; and He hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and moaning.
Bawipa ni a taran teh, Isarel miphun hai thoseh, imkahawinaw hai thoseh a payawp toe. Rapanimnaw hai he a raphoe toe. Judah canunaw e khuikanae hoi cingounae hoe a pung sak.
6 And He hath stripped His tabernacle, as if it were a garden, He hath destroyed His place of assembly; the LORD hath caused to be forgotten in Zion appointed season and sabbath, and hath rejected in the indignation of His anger the king and the priest.
Lukkareiim hah takha patetlah koung a raphoe pouh. A sungren sak e pawi hah a raphoe pouh. Zion khopui dawk pawi a sak e hoi Sabbath hnin hah Bawipa ni a pahnim sak. A lungkhuek lawi siangpahrang hoi vaihma hah a hnoun pouh.
7 The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath abhorred His sanctuary, He hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
Bawipa ni amae thuengnae khoungroe hah a pahnawt toe. Ama e hmuen kathoung hah a panuet toe. Siangpahrang im kalupnae hah taran kut dawk a poe toe. Ahnimanaw teh pawitonae hnin patetlah Bawipa e im dawk a hramki awh.
8 The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He hath stretched out the line, He hath not withdrawn His hand from destroying; but He hath made the rampart and wall to mourn, they languish together.
BAWIPA ni Zion canu e rapan hah raphoe hane a noe e patetlah raphoe hanelah a kut hno hoeh. Bangnuenae rui a payang teh, athung lae rapan hoi alawilae rapan hah khuikanae lah reirei a coung sak.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; He hath destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes are among the nations, instruction is no more; yea, her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
A tungdumnae longkhanaw teh talai thung lah a bo toe. Longkha tarennae sumtaboungnaw teh, koung kâkhoe toe. Siangpahrang hoi bawinaw teh Jentelnaw rahak ao awh teh, kâlawk awm hoeh. Profetnaw hai Bawipa koehoi vision hmawt awh hoeh toe.
10 They sit upon the ground, and keep silence, the elders of the daughter of Zion; they have cast up dust upon their heads, they have girded themselves with sackcloth; the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Zion canu e kacuenaw teh, vaiphu a lû dawk a kâphuen awh te, buri a kâkhu teh, tanglakacuem teh amamae a lû hah talai dawk a saling awh.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, mine inwards burn, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the breach of the daughter of my people; because the young children and the sucklings swoon in the broad places of the city.
Camoca hoi sanu ka net naw ni khopui thung lamnaw dawk sut a kamlei awh teh, ka miphun tanglanaw a rawk dawkvah, ka mitphi a bo teh, ka lungthin teh runae a kâhmo.
12 They say to their mothers: 'Where is corn and wine?' when they swoon as the wounded in the broad places of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers' bosom.
Ahnimanaw teh, a hmâ ka cat e patetlah khopui thung lamnaw dawk sut a kamlei awh teh, a manunaw e lungtabue dawk amamae a hringnae hah a awi awh teh, a manunaw koe satun hoi misurtuinaw hah nâmaw ao telah a pacei awh.
13 What shall I take to witness for thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea; who can heal thee?
Oe Jerusalem canu nang teh, kai ni bangtelamaw na bangnue han. Bangmaw na panue sak han. Bangtelamaw na o ka ti han. Oe Zion canu tanglakacuem, nang na lungroum thai nahanlah kai ni bangtelamaw lung na pahawi han. Nang e na rawknae teh tuipui patetlah a kaw dawkvah, apinimaw nang teh na dam sak thai han.
14 Thy prophets have seen visions for thee of vanity and delusion; and they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity; but have prophesied for thee burdens of vanity and seduction.
Nange profetnaw teh, dumyennae hoi payonnae vision hah nang hanelah a hmu awh teh, na onae dawk bout o sak hanelah, nange yonnae pâpho laipalah, huenghai onae pathunae hnonaw hoi nangmouh na dum awh teh, a pathang awh toe.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem: 'Is this the city that men called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?'
Lam dawk ka cet kaawmnaw pueng ni, kut na tabawng sin awh teh, na kayasak awh. A lû a kahek awh teh, talai van pueng dawk e kanawm poung e teh, hete khopui maw telah Jerusalem canu hah ati awh.
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide against thee; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say: 'We have swallowed her up; certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.'
Na tarannaw pueng ni nang koe lah pahni a ang awh teh, a hâ cakkarue teh, maimanaw hah na payawp toe. Hete hnin teh maimouh ni ring e hnin doeh, maimouh ni hmu awh toe ati awh.
17 The LORD hath done that which He devised; He hath performed His word that He commanded in the days of old; He hath thrown down unsparingly; and He hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, He hath exalted the horn of thine adversaries.
BAWIPA ni a noe tangcoung e hno hah a sak toe. Ayan hoi ka ti han ati e a lawk hah a kuep sak toe. Pahrennae awm laipalah, a raphoe toe. Taran teh nang dawkvah, a lunghawi sak teh taran e a ki teh a ouphlawp toe.
18 Their heart cried unto the Lord: 'O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; give thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
Ahnimouh teh a lungthin thung hoi Bawipa koe a hramki awh. Oe Zion canu e rapan, nange mitphi teh, palang tui ka lawng e patetlah karum khodai pout laipalah lawng naseh. Nama hai kâhat hanh. Na mit hai kâhat sak hanh.
19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord; lift up thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.'
Karumsaning hai thaw nateh, hram haw. Bawipa e a hmalah, na lungthin teh, tui patetlah rabawk haw. Lam tangkuem vah a vawn ka hlam niteh, sut ka yan e camonaw a lungngai kuep thai nahanelah, na kut hah ahnimouh koe lah dâw haw.
20 'See, O LORD, and consider, to whom Thou hast done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Oe BAWIPA, apimaw hettelah ka tet e hah, khen nateh pouk haw. Napuinaw ni ama ni a cun e camonaw hah a ca han namaw. Vaihmanaw hoi profetnaw teh BAWIPA e a thoungnae hmuen dawkvah, thei awh han na maw.
21 The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; Thou hast slain them in the day of Thine anger; Thou hast slaughtered unsparingly.
Camo hoi matawngnaw teh talai dawk a kamlei awh toe. Kaie tami, thoundoun tanglakacuemnaw hai tahloi hoi koung a kamlei toe. Na lungkhueknae hnin dawk ahnimouh teh pahren laipalah na thei teh koung na raphoe toe.
22 Thou hast called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side, and there was none in the day of the LORD'S anger that escaped or remained; those that I have dandled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.'
Pawi hnin dawk coun e patetlah tengpam pueng vah kai ni ka taki e hno hah na coun toe. BAWIPA lungkhueknae hnin dawk ka hlout ni teh kahring e tami ni buet touh hai awm hoeh. Ka kawkhik e camonaw patenghai ka tarannaw ni koung a raphoe toe.
