Lamentations 2
1 ALEPH. How has the Lord darkened in his wrath the daughter of Sion! he has cast down the glory of Israel from heaven to earth, and has not remembered his footstool.
Mano kaka Ruoth Nyasaye osekumo Nyar Sayun gi mirimbe motwere ka rumbi! Duongʼ mar Israel ma yande otundo nyaka e polo, osewito piny, bende kuom mirimbe ok oseparo ni en raten mar tiende.
2 BETH. In the day of his wrath the Lord has overwhelmed [her] as in the sea, [and] not spared: he has brought down in his fury all the beautiful things of Jacob; he has brought down to the ground the strongholds of the daughter of Juda; he has profaned her kings and her princes.
Ruoth Nyasaye oseketho mier duto mag Jakobo ka ok odewo; nikech mirimbe osemuko kuonde mochiel motegno mag Nyar Juda. Nokuodo wi jopinyno gi jotende mi odwoko lochgi chien.
3 GIMEL. He has broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has turned back his right hand from the face of the enemy, and has kindled a flame in Jacob as a fire, and it has devoured all things round about.
Osetieko teko mar jo-Israel gi mirimbe mager, kendo osejwangʼogi e lwet wasikgi. Osewengʼo ka Jakobo kaka mach mager makakni ma wangʼo gik moko duto molwore.
4 DALETH. He has bent his bow as an opposing enemy: he has strengthened his right hand as an adversary, and has destroyed all the desirable things of my eyes in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion: he has poured forth his anger as fire.
Oseywayo atungʼe mar kedo gi joge mana ka gima gin wasike. Kaka jasigu neko, osenego jogo duto mane nenore mabeyo e wangʼ, kendo oseolo mirimbe oko ka mach kuom hemb Nyar Sayun.
5 HE. The Lord is become as an enemy: he has overwhelmed Israel as in the sea, he has overwhelmed her palaces: he has destroyed her strongholds, and has multiplied the afflicted and humbled ones to the daughter of Juda.
Ruoth Nyasaye chalo gi jasigu; kendo osetieko Israel! Osemuko ute Israel duto mag ruoth kendo oseketho mieche mochiel motegno. Osemedo ywagruok kod kuyo ne Nyar Juda.
6 VAU. And he has scattered his tabernacle as a vine, he has marred his feast: the Lord has forgotten the feast and the sabbath which he appointed in Sion, and in the fury of his wrath has vexed the king, and priest, and prince.
Oseketho kare mar dak mana ka puodho moketh chambe modongʼ nono, kendo osemuko kare mar romo. Jehova Nyasaye osemiyo Sayun wiye owil kod sewni moyier gi Sabatoge; kendo kuom mirimbe mager, osejwangʼo ruoth kaachiel gi jadolo.
7 ZAIN. The Lord has rejected his altar, he has cast off his sanctuary, he has broken by the hand of the enemy the wall of her palaces; they have uttered their voice in the house of the Lord as on a feast day.
Ruoth Nyasaye osedagi kendone mar misango kendo jwangʼo kare maler mar lemo. Osechiwo ohinga mag kuonde mag dak e lwet wasigu; gisegoyo koko e od Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka ne itimo e odiechiengʼ mar sawo moyier.
8 HETH. And he has turned to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he has stretched out the measuring line, he has not turned back his hand from afflicting [her]: therefore the bulwark mourned, and the wall was weakened with it.
Jehova Nyasaye osechano muko ohinga molworo Nyar Sayun. Oserieyo rapim kendo ne ok ogengʼo lwete mondo kik okethe. Nomiyo chiel ma oko mar dala kod ohinga oyiengni, giduto kaachiel ne gimukore mi gigore piny.
9 TETH. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he has destroyed and broken to pieces her bars, [and] her king and her prince among the Gentiles: there is no law, nay, her prophets have seen no vision from the Lord.
Dhorangeyene osegore piny molal ei lowo, oseturo lodi mage kendo kethogi. Ruodhe gi jodonge oke e kind ogendini, chik onge koro, to jonabi mage koro ok yud fweny moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
10 JOD. The elders of the daughter of Sion have sat upon the ground, they have kept silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloths: they have brought down to the ground the chief virgins in Jerusalem.
Jodongo mag nyar Sayun, obedo piny kolingʼ thi, gisebuko wiyegi gi buru kendo girwako piende gugru. Nyi Jerusalem osekulo wiyegi piny.
11 CHAPH. Mine eyes have failed with tears, my heart is troubled, my glory is cast down to the ground, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; while the infant and suckling swoon in the streets of the city.
Wangʼa ojony nikech ywak, chunya ool, kendo chandore malit nikech joga osetieki, kendo nyithindo kod nyithindo mayom kech nego e yore mag dala maduongʼ.
12 LAMED. They said to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? while they fainted like wounded men in the streets of the city, while their souls were poured out into their mother's bosom.
Kech negogi e kor minegi, ka jogo mohiny e lweny e yore mag dala maduongʼ, mi gipodhi, omiyo gipenjo minegi niya, “Ere chiemo kod divai?”
13 MEM. What shall I testify to you, or what shall I compare to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? who shall save and comfort you, O virgin daughter of Sion? for the cup of your destruction is enlarged: who shall heal you?
Yaye Nyar Jerusalem, en angʼo madawach kuomi? Koso en angʼo ma dapimigo? Yaye Nyar Sayun mapok ongʼeyo dichwo, en angʼo ma dapimigo, koso en angʼo ma dahoyigo? Adhola ma in-go tut mana ka nam. Ere ngʼama dithiedhnigo?
14 NUN. Your prophets have seen for you vanities and folly: and they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn back your captivity; but they have seen for you vain burdens, and worthless visions.
Fweny mane jonabi magi oneno ne ok adiera, to gin mana miriambo lilo, ne ok ginyisi richoni mondo omi kik teri e twech. To fweny mane ginyisi ne gin mana weche mag miriambo kendo ma wito ji.
15 SAMECH. All that go by the way have clapped their hands at you; they have hissed and shaken their head at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, the crown of joy of all the earth?
Ji duto makadho buti pamo ni lwetegi; gijari kendo gikino wigi kuom gigo mosetimorene Nyar Jerusalem, ka gipenjore niya, “Bende ma e dala maduongʼ ma yande ongʼere ni dala maler, kendo mor mar piny mangima?”
16 AIN. All your enemies have opened their mouth against you: they have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and said, We have swallowed her up: moreover this is the day which we looked for; we have found it, we have seen it.
Wasiki duto wuoyo marach kuomi; gijari ka gikayo lekegi kagiwacho niya, “Wasetieke chuth. Ma e ndalo mane wasebedo ka warito; adier, osechopo ma wanene.”
17 PHE. The Lord has done that which he purposed; he has accomplished his word, [even] the things which he commanded from the ancient days: he has thrown down, and has not spared: and he has caused the enemy to rejoice over you, he has exalted the horn of him that afflicted you.
Jehova Nyasaye osetimo gima ne osechano; osechopo mano mane owacho, ma en gima nochiko chon. Osetieki ma ok odewo, kendo osemiyo wasigu goyoni siboi, komedogi teko.
18 TSADE. Their heart cried to the Lord, You walls of Sion, pour down tears like torrents day and night: give yourself no rest; let not the apple of your eyes cease.
Chunje ji ywak ni Ruoth Nyasaye. Yaye ohinga mar Nyar Sayun, we pi wangʼi omol ka aora, odiechiengʼ gotieno; kik iywe kata matin, kendo pi wangʼi kik chogi.
19 KOPH. Arise, rejoice in the night at the beginning of your watch: pour out your heart as water before the face of the Lord; lift up your hands to him for the life of your infants, who faint for hunger at the top of all the streets.
Aa malo, ywagi otieno duto, e kindego mag arita ma otieno chakore, kendo weche duto manie chunyi ol oko ka pi e nyim Ruoth Nyasaye. Tingʼ bedeni malo kilame nikech nyithindi, ma kech nego e wangʼ yore duto.
20 RHECHS. Behold, O Lord, and see for whom you has gathered thus. Shall the women eat the fruit of their womb? the cook has made a gathering: shall the infants sucking at the breasts be slain? will you kill the priest and prophet in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye winjie wachni: En ngʼa misetimone gima lit machal kama? Bende mon dicham nyithindgi ma giserito maber kama? Koso jodolo gi jonabi dinegi e kama ler mar lemo mar Ruoth Nyasaye adier?
21 CHSEN. The child and old man have lain down in the street: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity: you have slain [them] with the sword and with famine; in the day of your wrath you have mangled [them], you has not spared.
Jomatindo gi jomadongo nindo e yore motimo buru; yawuota gi nyiga oseneg gi ligangla. Isenegogi ka in gi mirima kendo isetiekogi ka ok idewo.
22 THAU. He has called my sojourners round about to a solemn day, and there was not in the day of the wrath of the Lord any one that escaped or was left; whereas I have strengthened and multiplied all mine enemies.
Ne iluongo masira koa kuonde duto mana ka ji mabiro e nyasi moro maduongʼ. E odiechiengʼ mar mirimb Jehova Nyasaye onge ngʼato mane otony kata mane odongʼ kangima. Kuom joga mane apidho kendo arito, wasika osetieko.
