Lamentations 4
1 How the gold has become dim! The most pure gold has changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
Gold saromrom lasr arulana ohkla; Eot ke Tempul oalik na inkanek uh.
2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how they are esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
Mukul fusr lun Zion elos tuh saok sesr oana gold, A inge pilesreyuk elos oana tup ma orek ke fohk kle.
3 Even the jackals offer their breast. They nurse their young ones. But the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
Finne kientop in wolf soko el ac katitii ma fusr natul, Tusruktu mwet luk elos sulallal nu sin ma fusr natulos, oana won ostrich uh.
4 The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst. The young children ask for bread, and no one breaks it for them.
Elos fuhlela tulik fusr natulos in misa ke masrinsral ac malu; Tulik uh ngusr mwe mongo, a wangin mwet ac sang nu selos.
5 Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets. Those who were brought up in purple embrace dunghills.
Mwet ma kang mwe mongo na yuyu meet elos misa fin inkanek uh ke masrinsral; Elos su tohfla in kasrup la elos iluhsya pus uh in sukok mwe mongo.
6 For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment. No hands were laid on her.
Mwet luk elos kalyeiyuk upa liki na mwet ma tuh muta Sodom, Su sun ongoiya ke God El tuh kunausla acn we ke kitin pacl na srisrik.
7 Her nobles were purer than snow. They were whiter than milk. They were more ruddy in body than rubies. Their polishing was like sapphire.
Fisrak natusr elos tuh tiana akfohkfokyeyukla, ac elos nasnas oana snow; Wasri ac ku, saromrom finsroalos ke kuiyen manolos.
8 Their appearance is blacker than a coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered. It has become like wood.
Inge elos misa oan ke inkanek uh, tia akilenyuk elos ke sripen sroalsroalla mutalos. Kolo kaclos pulamlamla oana sak, ac arosrosak oan fin sri kaclos.
9 Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for lack of the fruits of the field.
Wo nu selos su anwuki ke mweun liki elos su misa tok, Su wangin mwe mongo in sruokya moul lalos, pwanang elso misa ke masrinsral.
10 The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children. They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Ongoiya se ma sun mwet luk inge oru sie mwe aksangeng na lulap; Nina ma saokkin tulik natulos, elos poeleak tulik natulos sifacna mwe mongo.
11 The LORD has accomplished his wrath. He has poured out his fierce anger. He has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its foundations.
LEUM GOD El okoama nufon fulen kasrkusrak lal; El akosak sie e in Zion su esukak acn we nwe ke mwesri oan infohk uh.
12 The kings of the earth didn’t believe, neither did all the inhabitants of the world, that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
Wangin sie mwet in kutena acn, finne mwet leum lun mutunfacl saya, Tuh lulalfongi mu oasr mwet mweun ku in utyak ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem.
13 It is because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.
Tusruktu ma inge sikyak, mweyen mwet palu we elos orekma koluk, ac mwet tol uh oasr mwatalos Ke elos pwanang misa lun mwet wangin mwata.
14 They wander as blind men in the streets. They are polluted with blood, So that men can’t touch their garments.
Mwet kol lun acn we elos foroht forma inkanek uh oana mwet kun. Elos arulana srahfon, oru wangin mwet lungse pusralulos.
15 “Go away!” they cried to them. “Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch! When they fled away and wandered, men said amongst the nations, “They can’t live here any more.”
Mwet ah wowoyak ac fahk, “Tiok! Komtal fohkfok! Nimet pusralyu!” Ouinge elos takusrkusr som liki mutunfacl nu ke mutunfacl, a wangin mwet lohang nu selos.
16 The LORD’s anger has scattered them. He will not pay attention to them any more. They didn’t respect the persons of the priests. They didn’t favour the elders.
Wanginla nunak lun LEUM GOD kaclos; El sifacna luseloselik. Wangin nunak lal ke mwet tol ac mwet kol lasr.
17 Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
Kut sukok kasru nwe wanginla ku lasr in sifilpa suk, a wanginna kasru tuku nu sesr. Kut tupanna mu mutunfacl se ac tuku kasrekut, a tiana tuku.
18 They hunt our steps, so that we can’t go in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are fulfilled, for our end has come.
Mwet lokoalok lasr elos tawi kut; kut tiana ku in forfor innek uh. Len lasr uh safla; pacl safla lasr uh tuku tari.
19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased us on the mountains. They set an ambush for us in the wilderness.
Elos ukwekuti, mui liki ke eagle uh ac pwesrouli nu facsr lucng me uh. Elos lol acn kut fahsr we fin inging uh, ac kasriki kut ac sruokkuti in acn mwesis.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits; of whom we said, under his shadow we will live amongst the nations.
Elos sruokya kuiyen moul lasr, aok tokosra su LEUM GOD El sulela; El su kut tuh lulalfongi mu ac langoekut liki kutena mwet ma ac utyak in mweuni kut uh.
21 Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, who dwells in the land of Uz. The cup will pass through to you also. You will be drunken, and will make yourself naked.
Mwet Edom ac mwet Uz, kowos in israsr na; engan ke srak oasr pacl in engan lowos uh. Pacl in ongoiya lowos ac fah tuku pac; kowos ac fah koflufolla ac tukulkulwot tukulkulme ke mwekin.
22 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion. He will no more carry you away into captivity. He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom. He will uncover your sins.
Zion el eis tari molin ma koluk lal; LEUM GOD El ac tia filikuti in sruoh nwe tok. Tusruktu mwet Edom, LEUM GOD El ac fah kai kowos; El ac fah akkalemyela orekma koluk lowos.
