Lamentations 3
1 I [, the one who am writing this, ] am a man who has been afflicted/punished [MTY] by Yahweh because he was angry.
Ra Anumzamo'a arimpa ahenanteno, knaza namino nazeri haviza hige'na, tusi natama kria zana nagra ke'noe.
2 [It was as though] he caused me to walk in a very dark place without any light [at all].
Ana nehuno narotago higena, hanimpi tavira omane'nea kante vu'noe.
3 He has punished [IDM] me many times, all day, [every] day.
Tamagerfa huno maka zupa nagrike'za nazeri haviza huvava huno nevuno, mago'a vahera anara osu'ne.
4 He has caused my skin and my flesh to become old. He has broken my bones.
Ama navufga nazeri navesra nehuno, navufga nazeri haviza nehuno zaferinani'aramina ruhantagi'ne.
5 He has surrounded me [DOU] with bitterness and suffering.
Knaza atregeno eno eme nazeri kanegigeno, hazenke zamo'a maka kaziga nazeri kagi'ne.
6 [It is as though] he has buried me in a dark place like [SIM] [the graves of] those who have been dead for a long time.
Korapa'ma fri'za vu'naza vahe'mo'zama hanimpima mani'nazaza huno, natrege'na hanimpi mani'noe.
7 [It is as though] [MET] he has built a wall around me, and fastened/tied me with heavy chains, and I cannot escape.
Tusi'a vihu kegina huno nazeri agu'atege'na, anampintira atre'na atiorami'noe. Ana nehuno seni nofiteti nagia nazampina kinarente'ne.
8 Although I call out and cry out for him to help me, he does not pay attention to my prayers.
Nazama hinogu'ma Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'na antahige'noanagi, krafa keni'a eri atre'ne.
9 [It is as though] he has blocked my path with a [high] stone [wall] and has caused my path to become crooked.
Kama vunaku'ma hua kampina Anumzamo'a ra have ome anteno rehiza nehuno, vunaku'ma huankana eri kazakinkazoko hige'na haviza hu'nea kante vu'noe.
10 He has waited to attack me like [SIM] a bear or a lion hides and waits [to attack other animals].
Beamo'o laionimo'o afi zaga azerinaku kafo anteno maniaza huno, Ra Anumzamo'a nazeri haviza hunaku kafonteno mani'neno,
11 [It is as though] he has dragged me off the path and (mauled me/torn me into pieces), and left me without help.
navazuhu kanti atreno, laionimo nehiaza huno navufga tagnataganu vaziteno, natrege'na vahe'mo'a eme naza osige'na mase'noe.
12 [It is as though] [MET] he bent his bow and caused me to become the target [at which he shot] his arrows.
Anumzamo'a keve'a atifi erinteteno, avazuhu krarapeno nahenaku krinkenke hu'ne.
13 [It is as though] he shot his arrows deep into my body.
Ana huteno keve'areti tumoni'a ahetane'ne.
14 All my relatives laugh at me; all day, [every] day they sing songs that make fun of me.
Maka nagri vahe'mo'zama nenage'za tusi nagiza re'naze. Ana nehu'za amnea omani'za maka zupa zagame nehu'za ana zagamepi kiza zokago ke hunante vava hu'naze.
15 He has filled me with (bitterness/great suffering), [like] [MET] someone who drinks a very bitter liquid suffers.
Rama'a knazanteti nagu'afina antevi'neteno, aka trazanteti tro hu'naza ti namige'na ne'noe.
16 [It is as though] he has caused me to chew gravel that broke my teeth, and he has trampled me in the dirt.
Anumzamo'a ne'onse haverami nagipina eri hatrentege'na navera ani futagi'noe. Ana nehugeno kugusopa hatreno nagofetu ante'ne.
17 Things no longer go well for me; I no longer remember being prosperous.
Arimpa fruma huno mani'zana nomanizanifina omanegeno, knare huno musema huno mani'zankura nagekani'noe.
18 I [continued to] say [to myself], “I no longer expect to live much longer; I no longer confidently expect [to receive good things] from Yahweh!”
Ana hige'na amanage hu'noe, hanaveni'a omanegeno, Ra Anumzamofonkuma amuhama nehuazana huonantegahie hu'na antahi'noe.
19 When I think about my suffering and my wandering [away from home], [it is like drinking] a very bitter [DOU] liquid.
Hagi nagrama ranknazama eri'noa zamo'ene vahe moparegama kraga vahe kna'ma hu'na vano vanoma hu'noa zamo'enena, mago aka tima neazama hu'noa zana nagera okani'ne.
20 I will never forget this time when I feel very depressed/discouraged [IDM].
Maka zupa ana zanku'ma nagesa nentahugeno'a, nagu'amo'a kna nehigeno havizantfa hu'ne.
21 However, I confidently expect [Yahweh to do good things for me again] when I think about this:
E'ina hu'neanagi mago zanku nagesa nentahi'na, amuhara nehue.
22 Yahweh never stops faithfully loving [us], and he never stops being kind to us.
Ra Anumzamo'ma avesiranteno knare'ma hunerantea avesi'zamo'a, tamagerfa huno vagaore mevava nehie. Na'ankure agri asunkuzamo'a vagaore meno nevie.
23 [He is the one whom we can] always trust/lean on. Every morning he is merciful [to us again].
Maka nanterana Anumzamoka kagri kasunku zamo'a egasefa huvava nehiankino, hugahuema hunka hu'nana zama nehana kavukvazamo'a tusi zankerfa me'ne.
24 [So] I say to myself, “Yahweh is all that I need; so I will confidently wait for him [to do good things for me].”
Nagra'ma nagesa antahuana, Agra nagri Ra Anumza mani'negu nagra Agriteke amuhara huntegahue.
25 Yahweh is good to [all] those who depend on him, to those who seek his [help].
Ra Anumzamo'a agrite'ma amuha'ma nehu'za, zamagu'areti'ma hu'za agriku'ma nehakaza vahera zamazeri knare nehie.
26 [So] it is good for us to wait quietly for Yahweh to save/rescue [us].
Akoheno avega anteno mani'nenigeno Ra Anumzamo'ma ete agu'vazino avre avu'ava zamo'a knare hu'ne.
27 And it is good for us to [patiently] endure [suffering] while we are young.
Nahezavema mani'nesire'ma knazama eri'zamo'a, e'i knare hu'ne.
28 Those [who seek his help] should sit by themselves, silently, [knowing that] it is Yahweh who has allowed/caused them to suffer.
Ra Anumzamo'ma mago vahe'ma knazama neminigeno'a, anazankura keaga osu agraku akoheno manino.
29 They should lie in the dirt, with their faces on the ground, [because] they can still hope [that Yahweh will help them].
Anama nehanigeno keaga osu agra avufgama anteramino kugusopafima mani'nesigeno, negeno azama hunaku'ma hanuno'a aza hugahie.
30 If someone strikes us on one cheek, we should turn the other cheek toward that person [in order that he may strike it, too], and accept/endure it when we are insulted.
Hagi mago vahemo'ma ameragente'ma rupro huminaku'ma nehanigeno'a, amne ante vivi hu'nesnigeno rupro humina, agra amne agazea erigahie.
31 Yahweh does not abandon [us his people] forever.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a mago vahera amagena humi vava huno ovugahie.
32 Sometimes he causes us to suffer, but sometimes he is kind [to us] because he continually and faithfully loves [us].
Ra Anumzamo'a vahera knazana amigahianagi, Agra vaga ore mevava avesi zama'agu nentahino, avesinezmanteno knare avu'ava hunezmante.
33 And he is not happy about causing human beings to suffer or to be sad.
Ra Anumzamo'ma knazama atregeno eno vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehiana, Agra'a anaza hunakura nosie.
34 If people (mistreat all the prisoners/crush all the prisoners under their feet)
Hanki vahe'mo'zama kina vahe'ma zamazeri havizama huge,
35 or if they rebel against God by refusing to give to people the things that it is right for them [to receive],
mago vahe'mo'ma Marerisa Anumzamofo avure'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma nehanigeno'ma, haviza hane huno'ma huntege,
36 or if they cause judges to decide matters unjustly, (does Yahweh not see all those things?/Yahweh certainly sees all those things!) [RHQ]
keagare'ma oti zupama havige hu'za zamazeri havizama nehaza avu'ava zanku'enena Ra Anumzamo'a ave'nosie.
37 No one can [RHQ] command something to happen [and then cause it to happen] if Yahweh has not already decided that it should happen.
Ra Anumzamo'ma osu'nenia nanekerera, iza agra'a avesitera mago zana eri forera hugahie?
38 God in heaven [MTY] is [RHQ] the one who causes disasters to happen, and he [also] causes good things to happen.
Ra Anumzana Marerisa Anumzamo'a Agra agipinti huama huno, knare zane havi zanena forera huo huno higeno forera nehie.
39 [So] it is certainly not [RHQ] right for us, who are only humans, to complain when he punishes us for the sins that we have committed.
Ofri kasefa'ma huno mani'nesnia vahe'mo'a, agri kumi'mofo nonama huno azeri havizama hania zankura ke hakarea osino.
40 Instead, we should (examine/think carefully about) our behavior; we should turn back to Yahweh.
Hagi tagrama nehuna tavutavara rezaganeta ke so'e huteta, ana tavutva zampintira ete rukrahe huta Ra Anumzamofontega esanune.
41 We should pray [IDM] sincerely and lift up our arms toward God in heaven, [and say, ]
Hanki tagu'areti huta tazana erisga nehuta, monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamofontega amanage huta nunamuna hugahune,
42 “We have sinned and rebelled [against you], and you have not forgiven [us].
tagra kumi huta kagrira tamefi hugamunkenka, kumitia atre orante'nane.
43 You have surrounded us with your anger and pursued us; you have slaughtered [us] without pitying us.
Kagrira karimpa ahe'zamo'a avitegenka, kasunkura hunka oratrenka tavaririnka tahe fri'nane.
44 You have hidden yourself in a cloud, with the result that you do not hear [us] when we pray.
Kagrira tusi hampomo refitegenka mani'nanketa, nunamuna hu'nonanagi tagri nunamumo'a kagritera ovu'ne.
45 You have caused [the people of other] nations to consider us to be only garbage [DOU].
Tagrira tatranketa vahe moparega vano nehunke'za, amne zama hiaza hu'za tage so'ea osu'naze.
46 All our enemies have insulted us.
Maka ha' vahetimo'za huhaviza hurante'naze.
47 We are constantly afraid [DOU], [because] we have experienced disasters and ruin [DOU].”
Anama hazageta koro hu'none. Na'ankure tagesa ontahuna hazenke zamo eme tazeri havizantfa hu'ne.
48 I cry a lot because my people have been destroyed.
Knazamo'ma eno nagri vahe'ma eme zamazeri havizama hiazama negogeno'a, navunumo'a tima eviankna huno,
49 My tears continually flow; they will not stop
navufintira navunura hu vava nehie.
50 until Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees [us].
Ana zavira ontagane ate vava nehanugeno, Ra Anumzamo'a monafinti kefenka ateno nagegahie.
51 I am very grieved because of [what has happened to] the women of my city.
Jerusalemi rankumanifi a'neneramima, ha' vahe'mo'zama eme zamazeri havizama hazazama negogeno'a, tumonimo'a netanegeno nagu'amo'a havizantfa hu'ne.
52 Those who are my enemies hunted for me like [SIM] [people hunt for] a bird [to kill it] [even though] there was no reason [for them to do that].
Nagra mago havizana osu'noanagi, ha' vahe'nimo'za namama ahenakuma rotago'ma hazaza hu'za nagene re'naze.
53 They threw me into a pit to kill me, and they threw stones on top of me.
Zamagra nahe'za nagrira kerifi eri nevazi'za, ana kerigana havenu refite'naze.
54 The water [in the pit] rose above my head, and I said [to myself], “I am about to die/drown!”
Ana hazageno timo nazeri nakari'aza higena, nagra frigahue hu'na antahi'noe.
55 But from the bottom of the pit I cried out to you [MTY], “Yahweh, [help me]!”
Ana kerifima mani'nofintira Ra Anumzamoka kagra naza huogu kagri kagia ahe'na nunamuna nehue.
56 I pleaded with you, “Do not refuse to heed [MTY] me while I cry out to you!”
Hagi Kagra nunamu keni'a nentahinanki, kagesa renkani oro.
57 Then you answered me and said, “Do not be afraid!”
Hagi nazama huogu'ma kema hugenka Kagra nagrite erava'o nehunka, korora osuo hunka nasami'nane.
58 Yahweh, you defended me; you did not allow me to die.
Ra Anumzamoka keagani'a refko hunka nentahinka nagu'vazinke'na knare hu'na mani'noe.
59 [Now], Yahweh, you have seen the evil things that my enemies have done to me, [so] decide my case [and show that I am right]!
Ra Anumzamoka nagri'ma hazenkema eme nami'naza vahera hago kenka antahinka hu'nane. Ana hu'nananki nagri kaziga antenka agra fatgo hu'ne hunka ana vahera keaga huzmanto.
60 You know the evil things that they have planned to do to me.
Ana vahe'mo'zama nagri'ma nazeri havizama hunaku'ma, maka keagama retro'ma hu'nazana hago ke'nane.
61 Yahweh, you have heard them insult [me] and what they have planned to do to me.
Hagi ana vahe'mo'zama kiza zokago kema hunenante'za, nagri'ma nazeri haviza hu kema anakiza nanekea Ra Anumzamoka hago antahi'nane.
62 Every day they whisper and mutter things about me, all day long.
Ha' vaheni'amo'za maka zupa, nagri'ma nazeri havizama hanaza nanekea, zamagira magopi ante'neza sumisumi hu'za keaga huvava nehaze.
63 Look at them! Whether they are standing or sitting they make fun of me with the songs that they sing.
Manizafina zagamepi erinte'za kiza zokago zagame ke hunante'naze.
64 Yahweh, cause them to suffer in return for their causing [me] to suffer!
Ra Anumzamoka ana vahe'mo'zama hu'naza havi zamavu'zamava negenka, mizana zamitere hugahane.
65 Curse them [IDM] [for] their being very stubborn [IDM].
Ana vahe'mokizmi zamagu'a eri hankavetige'za, sifnafi maniho.
66 Because you are angry with them, pursue them and get rid of them, [until none of them remain] on the earth.
Ana vahera Kagra krimpa ahenezmantenka, zamarotago hunka zamahe hana huge'za, Ra Anumzamoka mopamofo agofetura omanitfa hiho.
