Lamentations 5
1 Yahweh, think about what has happened to us. See that we have been disgraced.
Pakai ka chunguva thilsoh ho hi hingeldoh temin, ven ichan geija vetset ka chan’u hitam?
2 Foreigners have seized our property, [and now] they live in our homes.
Ka goulo diu chengse hi namchom miho achang tauvin, Ka in ka lou jouseu la gamchom miho’a ahitai.
3 [Our enemies] have killed our fathers; they caused our mothers to become widows.
Keiho hi nunei lou panei lou kahi tauvin, kanuteu jong meithai ahi gam tauve.
4 [Now] we are required to pay for water to drink, and we must pay [a lot of money] for firewood.
Ka dondiu twi jeng jong kakichoh thu diuvin aumdoh tan, Ti ding thing jeng jong kakichoh thudiu ahitai.
5 [It is as though] those who pursue us are at our heels; we are exhausted, but they do not allow us to rest.
Eihin nungdelteuvin eihin phah pai dingu ahitan, Keiho ka haisam tauvin, ahinlah kingahna ding mun ka neipouve.
6 In order to get enough food [to remain alive], we went to Egypt and Assyria and offered to work [for the people there].
Neh leh chah ning lhinga kanei jouseu, Ka kihinso jou nadiuvin Egypt leh Asssyria khutna ka kipelut tauvin ahi.
7 Our ancestors sinned, and now they are dead, but we are being punished for the sins that they committed.
Kapu kapateu ana chonseuvin ahinlah amaho athi gamtauve, Hijeh chun amaho chan ding thoh gimna leh engbolna hi keiho chunga achu tan ahi.
8 [Officials from Babylon] who were [previously] slaves [now] rule over us, and there is no one who can rescue us from their power.
Ka sohteu chu tun keiho Pakaiyin apang gamtauvin, ahinlah koima eihuhdoh diu aum pon ahi.
9 When we roam around in the desert searching for food, we are in danger of being killed, because people there kill strangers with their swords.
Gamsun’a pum hatin vai ahop jeh'in thiding kicha pum pumin anneh kakiholun ahi.
10 Our skin has become hot like [SIM] an oven, and we have a very high fever because we are extremely hungry.
Kel khoh jeh'in ka vousou tapkonga changlhah kikang bangin avom gam tai.
11 [Our enemies] have raped the women in Jerusalem, [and they have done that to] the young women in [all] the towns of Judea.
Kagal miteuvin Jerusalema numei ho Judah khosunga nungah khang dong ho kichep nan anei gamtauve.
12 [Our enemies] have hanged our leaders, and they do not respect our elders.
Ka lengteu jong akhutpiuvin akhaisangun, Ka lamkaiteu jong noise tahin ei bolpeh tauvin ahi.
13 They force our young men to grind [flour] with millstones, and boys stagger while they [are forced to] carry [heavy] loads of firewood.
Gollhang ho chu sumhei goi dingin akaimangun, chuleh pasal chapang ho chu tiding thing aputsahnauva a lonlele jeng tauvin ahi.
14 [Our] elders no longer sit at the city gates [to make important decisions]; the young men no longer play their musical [instruments].
Lamkai ho khopi kelkot ngahin apang tapouve. Khangthahten lam leh la sah abol tapouvin ahi.
15 We [SYN] are no longer joyful; instead of dancing [joyfully], we now mourn.
Kana lam nao chu lung khamna asohdoh tan, Ka lungsunguva kipana abeitai.
16 The wreaths [of flowers] have fallen off our heads. Terrible things have happened to us because of the sins that we committed.
Ka luchang uva konin ka lallukhuhu alhamang gam tai. Ka chonset jeh'un ka chung uva sapsetna achu tai.
17 We [SYN] are tired and discouraged [IDM], and we cannot see well because our eyes are [full of tears].
Hijeh hin kalungu alhalhop tan chuleh kamit uvah mitlhi adimtan ahi.
18 Jerusalem is [completely] deserted, and jackals/wolves prowl around it.
Ajehchu Jerusalem hi akeosehin aki jam tan, Sialten lhat nan anei tauve.
19 But Yahweh, you rule forever! You continue to rule [MTY] from one generation to the next generation.
Ahinlah Pakai nangma abang na hi jing jeng e, nalal touna chu akhang khangin aum jing e.
20 [So] why [RHQ] have you forgotten us? Why [RHQ] have you abandoned us for a very long time?
Ipi dinga nei suhmil jing nahlaiyu ham? Ipi dinga donlou dai louva neikoi nahlaiyu ham?
21 [Please] enable us to return to you, and enable us to prosper [MTY] as we did previously.
O Pakai neikiledohsah kitnun lang nangma komma nei puilut kittauvin! Ka kipanao masa chu neipe kittaovin!
22 Please do that, because we hope that [RHQ] you have not rejected us forever and that [RHQ] you do not continue to be extremely angry with us!
Ahilou leh neipui doh mong mong diu hitam? Ole Ka chunguva nalung hangjing nalai ham?
