Lamentations 1
1 Oh how doth she sit solitary—the city that was full of people is become like a widow! she that was so great among the nations, the princess among the provinces, is become tributary!
Pakomuta! Fuka mukela lun Jerusalem, su sie pacl ah sessesla ke mwet. Sie pacl ah akfulatyeyuk el sin faclu nufon, a inge el supwar oana sie katinmas. Meet el arulana fulat, a inge el putatyang nu in moul in mwet kohs.
2 She weepeth sorely 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 toward her, they are become her enemies.
El tung ke fong nufon, ac sroninmutal sorori ke likintupal. Inmasrlon mwet kawuk lal meet ah nufon, tiana sie lula in akwoyal. Mwet asruoki nu sel meet ah sisella, ac inge elos nukewa lainul.
3 Exiled is Judah because of affliction, and because of the greatness of servitude she dwelleth indeed among the nations, she findeth no rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between the narrow passes.
Mwet Judah elos mwet kohs ke sripen lillilyak elos liki acn selos. Elos muta in facl saya, ac wangin acn elos in pangon acn selos sifacna. Mwet lokoalok lalos raunelosla, ac wangin innek in kaingla lalos.
4 The ways to Zion are in mourning, because none come to the solemn feasts; all her gates are desolate; her priests sigh; her virgins moan, and she suffereth herself from bitter grief.
Wanginla mwet tuku nu ke Tempul in pacl inge in tuh alu ke len mutal. Tulik mutan su tuh alullul we elos muta in keok, ac mwet tol elos sasao na. Mutunpot in siti uh oalallana, ac acn Zion oan in ongoiya lulap.
5 Her adversaries are become chiefs, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath caused her to grieve because of the multitude of her transgressions: her babes are gone into captivity before the adversary.
Mwet lokoalok lal elos kutangulla, ac el oan ye ku lalos. LEUM GOD El oru elan keok ke sripen ma koluk puspis lal. Tulik natul uh sruoh ac utukla lukel.
6 And there is gone forth from the daughter of Zion all her splendor: her princes are become like harts that have found no pasture, and they flee without strength before the pursuer.
Wolana lun Jerusalem wanginla, Mwet kol lalos elos oana deer ma munasla ke masrinsral, Su apkuran in wanginla ku la ke elos kaingkin mwet ma ukwalos uh.
7 Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her magnificent things which have been in the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, with none to help her, the adversaries looked at her, they laughed at the cessation [of her glory].
Ke Jerusalem el musalla ac mukaimtalla in pacl inge, el esamak ma nukewa ma wo nu sel meet ah. Ke el putatyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lal, wangin sie acn ku in kasrel mweuni mwet lokoalok lal. Mwet kutangulla uh isrunul ke el ikori.
8 A grievous sin did Jerusalem commit, therefore is she become a wanderer: all that honored her hold her in contempt, because they have seen her nakedness; she also sigheth, and turneth [ashamed] backward.
Wanginla sunakinyal; el koflufolla, ac sununteiyuk el. El sao ac wikin mutal ke mwekin. Jerusalem el aktaekyal sifacna ke ma koluk lulap lal.
9 [With] her uncleanness on her skirts, she thought not of her latter end: therefore is she come down wonderfully, without one to comfort her. Behold, O Lord, my affliction; for the enemy hath become great [above me].
Ma fohkfok lal arulana mohtotla, tusruktu wanginna nunkeyen ma ac sikyak uh sel. Ikori lal ah arulana koluk, ac wangin sie mwet ku in akwoyal. Mwet lokoalok lal elos kutangla, ac el wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac siyuk ke pakoten lal.
10 His hand hath the adversary spread out over all her magnificent things; for she hath seen nations entering into her sanctuary, of whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
Mwet lokoalok lal elos pisrala ma saok lal nukewa. El sifacna liye ke elos utyak nu in Tempul, Yen LEUM GOD El tia lela mwet pegan in utyak nu we.
11 all her people sigh, they are seeking bread; they have given their precious things for food to refresh their soul: see, O Lord, and look, how I have been brought low.
Mwet lal elos sasao ke sukyen ma elos in kang; Elos sang ma saok lalos ayaol mwe mongo in sruokya moul lalos. Ac siti uh wowoyak ac fahk, “Liyeyu, LEUM GOD. Liyeyu in keok luk.”
12 “I adjure you, all that pass this way, behold, and see if there be any pain like unto my pain, which hath been inflicted on me, wherewith the Lord hath aggrieved me on the day of his fierce anger.
El pang nu selos nukewa su fufahsryesr yen el muta we, ac fahk, “Ngetma liyeyu! Wangin sie mwet nu pulakin waiok oana nga, Waiok su ma LEUM GOD El use nu fuk in pacl in kasrkusrak lal.
13 From on high hath he sent a fire into my bones, and breaketh [them] one by one: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath caused me to return backward; he hath made me desolate, sick all the day.
“El supwama e lucng me, sie e su firirrir in nga. El filiya sie kwasrip nu sik ac sisyuwi nu infohk uh. Na El sisyula ac likiyuwi in mutana in waiok luk.
14 Bound fast is the yoke of my transgressions by his hand, — they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to stumble: the Lord hath given me up into the hands of [those against whom] I am not able to rise up.
“El tuni ma koluk luk nukewa ac kapsreni nu sie; El sripisrya ke kwawuk, ac nga munasla ke toasriya uh. Leum El eisyuyang nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, ac wangin ma nga ku in oru in lainulos.
15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me; he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: a winepress hath the Lord trodden over the virgin, the daughter of Judah.
“Leum El isrun mwet mweun fokoko luk nukewa; El supwama sie un mwet mweun in tuh kunausla mwet fusr luk. El itungya mwet luk oana grape ke nien fut wain.
16 For these things do I weep; my eye, my eye runneth down with water; because far from me is the comforter that should refresh my soul: my children are in misery, because the enemy hath prevailed.”
“Pa inge sripa se oru sroninmutuk kahkkakla uh. Wangin mwet ku in akwoyeyula; wangin mwet ku in akkeyeyu. Mwet lokoalok luk kutangyula; wangin kutena ma lula lun mwet luk.
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, without one to comfort her; the Lord hath given a charge concerning Jacob to all his adversaries round about him: Jerusalem is become as an unclean woman among them.
“Nga asroela pouk, tuh wangin mwet in kasreyu. LEUM GOD El pangon mwet lokoalok liki acn nukewa in lainyu. Elos oreyu oana sie ma na olafohkfok.
18 “Righteous is the Lord; for against his orders have I rebelled: oh do hear, all ye people, and see my pain! my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
“Tusruktu suwohs ma LEUM GOD El oru, mweyen nga tuh tia aksol. Porongeyu, kowos mwet yen nukewa; ngetma liyeyu in waiok luk. Mukul fusr ac mutan fusr luk elos utukla nu in sruoh.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders perished in the city; for they sought food for themselves to refresh their soul.
“Nga pang nu sin mwet ma asruoki nu sik, tuh elos srunga kasreyu. Mwet tol ac mwet kol elos misa fin inkanek in siti uh Ke elos sukok mongo in sruokya moul lalos sifacna.
20 See, O Lord! how I am in distress; my bowels are heated; my heart is turned round within me; because I have grievously rebelled: abroad bereaveth the sword, at home, like the pestilence.
“O LEUM GOD, ngetma liye keok lulap lun ngunik! Insiuk arulana musalla ke asroeyen ma koluk luk. Oasr akmas orek ke inkanek uh; finne in lohm uh oasr pac misa.
21 They hear how greatly I sigh, [yet] there is none to comfort me; all my enemies have heard of my misfortune, they are glad that thou hast done it: oh that thou wouldst bring the day which thou hast proclaimed [against me], that they may become like me.
“Porongo sasao luk; wanginna mwet in akwoyeyu. Mwet lokoalok luk elos engan lah kom ase ongoiya nu sik. Tari supwama len se ma kom tuh wulema kac ah; oru mwet lokoalok luk in keok oapana nga.
22 Let all their wickedness come before thee, and do unto them as thou hast done unto me because of all my transgressions; for many are my sighs, and my heart is sick.”
“Sang mwatalos ke ma koluk lalos nukewa. Kalyaelos oana ke kom tuh kalyeiyu ke ma koluk luk. Nga sasao in keok luk, ac insiuk musallana.”
