Lamentations 5
1 Remember, YHWH, what has come on us. Look, and see our disgrace.
Oe BAWIPA kaimanaw dawk ka phat e hno hah, pahnim hanh. Kaimae yeiraiponae hai khen nateh na panuek pouh.
2 Our inheritance is turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.
Kaimae râw talai teh, ram louk e kut dawk, imnaw hai Jentelnaw e kut a pha toe.
3 We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are like widows.
Kaimanaw teh nara patetlah ka o toe. Na pa o hoeh dawk kaimae manunaw teh lahmai patetlah ao awh.
4 We have to pay for a drink of water; our wood is sold to us.
Kaimouh teh tui hai aphu hoi ka ran awh. Ka hno awh hane thing hai aphu hoi ka ran awh.
5 Our pursuers are on our necks; we are weary, and have no rest.
Kaimae hnukkhu rek na patawt dawkvah, ka patang awh. Kaimanaw teh kâhatnae na poe hoeh.
6 We have submitted to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians, to get enough bread.
Kaimanaw teh rawcarawnei a khout thai nahanlah, Izip ram, Assiria ram naw e a hmalah kutdaw teh ka hei awh.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; but we have borne their iniquities.
Kaimae mintoenaw ni a ton awh teh, a kahma awh nakunghai, kaimanaw ni ahnimae a yonnae teh ka phu awh.
8 Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
Sannaw ni kaimouh teh na uk awh. Ahnimae kut dawk hoi apinihai na rungngang thai hoeh.
9 We get our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness.
Kahrawngum vah, tahloi kecu dawk kaimouh teh hring nahanelah, canei hane ka panki teh ka tawng awh.
10 Our skin is hot like an oven, because of the burning heat of famine.
Takang dawk kaimae vuennaw teh takhuen patetlah a tamang toe.
11 They raped the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.
Ahnimouh teh Zion khopui dawk kaawm e napuinaw hoi Judah khopui dawk kaawm napui tanglanaw hah a pacekpahlek awh.
12 Princes were hung by their hands; elders were shown no respect.
Ahnimae kâ dawk hoi bawinaw hah lawk a ceng awh. Kacuenaw hai barilawa awh hoeh.
13 The young men grind at the mill; the boys stagger under loads of wood.
Thoundounnaw ni talungsumnaw hah a phu awh. Camonaw ni thing a hrawm thai hoeh e ngangngang a hrawm awh.
14 The elders have gone from the gate, the young men from their music.
Kacuenaw ni kho longkha koehoi thoseh, thoundounnaw ni ahnimae tumkhawng koehoi thoseh a ceitakhai awh.
15 The joy of our heart has ceased; our dancing is turned into mourning.
Kaimae lungthin dawkvah, lunghawi nawmnae a kâhat teh, lamtunae dawk hoi khuikanae koelah a coung toe.
16 The crown is fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned.
Kaimae lû dawk hoi bawilakhung teh a bo toe. Kaimouh ni ka sak e yon dawkvah, kamamouh koe yawthoenae ao.
17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes grow dim.
Hote hno dawkvah, kaimae lungthin teh tha ayounnae koe lah, a pha toe. Hote yon dawk kaimae mitnaw hai amom toe.
18 For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate; the foxes walk on it.
Kingkadi e Zion mon dawkvah, Asuinaw ni a paitun awh.
19 But you, YHWH, abide forever; your throne is from generation to generation.
Oe BAWIPA nama teh, a yungyoe na kangning. Nama e bawitungkhung teh catounnaw e lah a yungyoe a kangning.
20 Why do you keep on forgetting us? Why do you forsake us so long?
Bangkongmaw kaimanaw hah pou na pahnim vaw. Bangkongmaw atueng moikasawlah na pahnawt vaw.
21 Restore us to you, YHWH, and we shall be restored; renew our days as in former times,
Oe BAWIPA kaimouh teh nama koe bout na bankhai haw. Telah pawiteh, kaimouh teh bout ka tho awh han. Yampa e patetlah kaimae a hninnaw teh a katha lah na pathoup haw.
22 unless you have completely rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.
Hoehpawiteh, nama ni kaimanaw hah na pahnawt han na maw. Kaimanaw hah puenghoi na lungkhueksin han na maw.
