Lamentations 1
1 HOW DOTH the city sit solitary, that was full of people! How is she become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
Tami moikapap kamkhuengnae khopui teh, tami kingkadi lah ao toe. Yampa teh ram pueng thung dawkvah kalenpounge khopui teh lahmainu patetlah ao toe. Ram pueng e a lathueng vah, bawi lah ouk kaawm e khopui teh san lah a pha toe.
2 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; she hath none to comfort her among all her lovers; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
Tangmin vah, a lung ka rek lah a ka teh, a tamboung dawk a mitphi a lawng. A pahren e naw thung hoi ahni lung ka pahawi hane tami buet touh hai awm hoeh. A huinaw pueng ni a dum awh teh a taran lah koung ao pouh.
3 Judah is gone into exile because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest; all her pursuers overtook her within the straits.
Judah miphun teh rektapnae thaw tawk sak hane san lah a man awh teh, a hrawi awh. Jentelnaw thung dawkvah, lungreithai hoi kho a sak awh. Ahnie hnukkâbang e naw pueng teh, reithai rucatnae dawk a pha awh.
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
Ka talue poung e pawi koe apihai a tho hoeh dawkvah, Zion lamthungnaw teh a khuika awh. Ahnie khopui longkhanaw pueng teh kingdi lah ao awh. Ahnie vaihmanaw teh a cingou awh. Ahnie tangla kathoungnaw hai lungrek nalaihoi amahoima a temdeng awh.
5 Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies are at ease; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
A tarannaw teh akuepcing awh toe. Ahnie lawkeknae apap lawi vah, BAWIPA ni ahni teh, patawnae a khang sak. A canaw teh tarannaw hmaitung vah san lah a hrawi toe.
6 And gone is from the daughter of Zion all her splendour; her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
Zion canu e a meihawinae pueng teh be a kahma toe. A bawinaw teh, a pâ nahan kaawm hoeh e sayukhre patetlah ao awh toe. Ka pâlei e naw hmalah tha awm laipalah a yawng awh toe.
7 Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her anguish all her treasures that she had from the days of old; now that her people fall by the hand of the adversary, and none doth help her, the adversaries have seen her, they have mocked at her desolations.
Jerusalem khopui teh, kângai kâthungnae hoi rucatnae naw a kâhmo navah, yampa e a sungrennae hah a pouk. A taminaw teh taran kut dawk a pha navah, kabawmkung awm hoeh. A tarannaw ni asung e hah a hmu navah, a pacekpahlekkhai awh.
8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore she is become as one unclean; all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness; she herself also sigheth, and turneth backward.
Jerusalem khopui teh puenghoi a yon toung dawkvah, hote hno teh panuettho e lah ao toe. Ahni ka oup e naw pueng ni ahni teh caici lah ao e a hmu dawkvah, banglah noutna awh hoeh. Ahni hai a cingou laihoi hnuklah a ban.
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts, she was not mindful of her end; therefore is she come down wonderfully, she hath no comforter. 'Behold, O LORD, my affliction, for the enemy hath magnified himself.'
Ahnie a khinnae teh amae hnaboung dawk a kamnue eiteh, apout nahane pouk hoeh. A lung ka pahawi e tami awm hoeh. Kângairunae koe a pha toe. Oe BAWIPA taran ni tânae a hmu toung dawkvah, kaie reithai rucatnae hah na khen pouh haw.
10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her treasures; for she hath seen that the heathen are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom Thou didst command that they should not enter into Thy congregation.
Taran ni a kut hoi hnopainaw pueng na lawp toe. Ahnimanaw hah nama e tamimaya kamkhuengnae thung kâen hanh telah na ngang e Jentelnaw ni ahnie hmuen kathoungpounge dawk a kâen awh e ka hmu.
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul. 'See, O LORD, and behold, how abject I am become.'
Ahnie taminaw pueng teh cingou laihoi rawca a tawng nalaihoi, ao awh. A hring nahanelah, amamae hnopainaw hah rawca hoi athung awh. Oe BAWIPA kai teh dudamnae kâhmo toung dawkvah, khen nateh pouk haw.
12 'Let it not come unto you, all ye that pass by! Behold, and see if there be any pain like unto my pain, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.
Lam dawk ka cet cathuk takhang e pueng Cathut e puenghoi lungkhueknae hnin nah kai dawk pacekpahleknae ka sak e, kaie rucat patawnae patetlah kâhmo e tami o hoi o hoeh e khen nateh pouk awh haw. Nangmouh hoi kâkuen hoeh maw.
13 From on high hath He sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them; He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me back; He hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
Nama ni a lathueng lahoi na tha e hmai teh kaie ka hru thung na bo sak. Ka khok hanelah tamlawk na yangda teh, hnuklah na kamlang sak. Kanîruirui kingkadi lah na ta teh thayung laipalah na o sak.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is impressed by His hand; they are knit together, they are come up upon my neck; He hath made my strength to fail; the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
Kai ni kâ ka eknae hah hnori ka phu e patetlah ahnie kut hoi ka lahuen dawk a thueng teh, na yawngyen. BAWIPA ni ka thaonae hah a bo sak teh ka kangdue thai hoeh nahan ka sak e taminaw e kut thung na pha sak.
15 The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; He hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men; the Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin the daughter of Judah.'
BAWIPA ni kaie tami athakaawmnaw hah ka thung hoi na takhoe pouh. Kai na ka taran niteh, kaie thoundounnaw raphoe hane tamihupui na kaw pouh. Bawipa ni Judah tanglakacuem hah misur katinnae tangkom dawk a katin.
16 'For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter is far from me, even he that should refresh my soul; my children are desolate, because the enemy hath prevailed.'
Hote kecu dawkvah, kai teh ka ka. Ka mit dawk hoi mitphi teh tui patetlah a lawng. Ka hringnae teh a lunghawi sak teh, lungkaroumsak hane tami teh kai hoi ka kâhla toe. Ka taran ni na tâ toung dawkvah, kaie ka canaw teh a kahma awh toe.
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries; Jerusalem is among them as one unclean.
Zion khopui teh a kut a dâw eiteh, a lungkaroumsak hane tami awmhoeh. BAWIPA ni Jakop teh a tengpam vah a tarannaw a hruek pouh toe. Jerusalem khopui teh ahnimouh rahak vah, kathounghoehe hno patetlah ao toe.
18 'The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against His word; hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my pain: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
BAWIPA teh a lan, kâpoelawk kai ni ka ek toe. Oe miphun a buemlah, thai awh nateh kaie rucatnae hah khenhaw. Thoundounnaw hoi tanglakacuemnaw san lah be a hrawi awh toe.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and mine elders perished in the city, while they sought them food to refresh their souls.
Ka pahren e nangmanaw kai ni na kaw awh. Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni kai dawk yuemkamcu awh hoeh. Kaie vaihmanaw hoi kacuenaw teh, hring nahane rawcanaw a tawng awh navah, kho thung vah be a due awh toe.
20 Behold, O LORD, for I am in distress, mine inwards burn; my heart is turned within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is the like of death.
Oe BAWIPA kai hah na khenhaw! Kai dawk reithai rucatnae a pha toe. Ka hringnae ni runae a kâhmo toe. Ka lungthin hai phang a kahma toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ni puenghoi ka payon toe. Alawilah tahloi e taran ao teh imthung hai duenae patetlah ao.
21 They have heard that I sigh, there is none to comfort me; all mine enemies have heard of my trouble, and are glad, for Thou hast done it; Thou wilt bring the day that Thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto me.
Kaie ka cingounae lawk hai a thai eiteh, kai lungpahawikung awm hoeh. Kaie reithai rucatnae hah ka tarannaw abuemlah ni koung a thai toe. Ahnimouh ni nama ni na sak e hno dawk lung koung ahawi awh. Nama ni na pathang e hnin dawk a pha torei ahnimouh hai kai patetlah awm awh naseh.
22 Let all their wickedness come before Thee; and do unto them, as Thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions; for my sighs are many and my heart is faint.'
Ahnimae thoesaknae pueng heh nama e hmalah phat van naseh. Kai ni kâ ka eknae pueng kai koe a pha e patetlah ahnimouh dawk hai phat van seh. Kaie ka cingounae teh apap dawkvah, kaie ka lungthin teh a tâwn toe.
