Lamentations 5
1 Lord, haue thou mynde what bifelle to vs; se thou, and biholde oure schenschipe.
ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu ki he meʻa kuo hoko kiate kimautolu: tokanga pea ke ʻafio ki homau taukae.
2 Oure eritage is turned to aliens, oure housis ben turned to straungers.
Kuo liliu homau tofiʻa ki he kau muli, ʻa homau ngaahi fale ki he ʻāuhē.
3 We ben maad fadirles children with out fadir; oure modris ben as widewis.
Ko e kau faʻē mate mo tamai mate ʻakimautolu, ko ʻemau ngaahi faʻē kuo hangē kuo mate ʻa honau ngaahi husepāniti.
4 We drunken oure watir for monei, we bouyten oure trees for siluer.
Kuo mau inu vai ʻi he totongi paʻanga, ko ʻemau fefie ʻoku fakatau kiate kimautolu.
5 We weren dryuun bi oure heedis, and reste was not youun to feynt men.
ʻOku māʻulalo ʻa homau kia ki he fakatanga: ʻoku mau ngāue pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mālōlō.
6 We yauen hond to Egipt, and to Assiriens, that we schulden be fillid with breed.
Kuo mau fekuku nima mo e kau ʻIsipite, pea mo e kau ʻAsilia, ke mau mākona ʻi he mā.
7 Oure fadris synneden, and ben not, and we baren the wickidnessis of hem.
Naʻe fai angahala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai, pea kuo mau fua ʻenau ngaahi hia.
8 Seruauntis weren lordis of vs, and noon was, that ayenbouyte fro the hond of hem.
Kuo pule ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kiate kimautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻoku fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei honau nima.
9 In oure lyues we brouyten breed to vs, fro the face of swerd in desert.
Naʻa mau maʻu meʻakai ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻo ʻemau moʻui, koeʻuhi ko e heletā ʻi he toafa.
10 Oure skynne is brent as a furneis, of the face of tempestis of hungur.
Naʻe ʻuliʻuli ʻa homau kili ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu, ko e meʻa ʻi he honge fakamanavahē.
11 Thei maden low wymmen in Sion, and virgyns in the citees of Juda.
Naʻa nau tohotoho ʻae kau fefine ʻi Saione, ʻae kau tāupoʻou ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta.
12 Princes weren hangid bi the hond; thei weren not aschamed of the faces of elde men.
ʻOku tautau ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki mei honau nima, naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻae mata ʻoe kau mātuʻa.
13 Thei mysusiden yonge wexynge men vnchastli, and children fellen doun in tree.
Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau talavou ke momosi, pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae tamaiki ʻi he lalo ʻakau.
14 Elde men failiden fro yatis; yonge men failiden of the queer of singeris.
Kuo ʻosi ʻae kau mātuʻa mei he matapā, ʻae kau talavou mei he fasi hiva.
15 The ioie of oure herte failide; oure song is turned in to mourenyng.
Kuo ʻosi ʻae fiefia ʻa homau loto; kuo liliu ʻa ʻemau meʻe ko e mamahi.
16 The coroun of oure heed fellen doun; wo to vs! for we synneden.
Kuo tō ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei homau ʻulu. ʻOiauē ʻakimautolu! He kuo mau fai angahala.
17 Therfor oure herte is maad soreuful, therfor oure iyen ben maad derk.
Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni ʻoku vaivai homau loto; koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku nenefu homau mata.
18 For the hil of Sion, for it perischide; foxis yeden in it.
Koeʻuhi ko e moʻunga ʻo Saione, ʻaia ʻoku lala pē, ʻoku ʻaʻeva ai ʻae fanga fokisi.
19 But thou, Lord, schal dwelle with outen ende; thi seete schal dwelle in generacioun and in to generacioun.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻo taʻengata, ko ho ʻafioʻanga ʻoku mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
20 Whi schalt thou foryete vs with outen ende, schalt thou forsake vs in to lengthe of daies?
Ko e hā ʻoku ke fakangaloʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo taʻengata, pea mahuʻi meiate kimautolu ʻo fuoloa?
21 Lord, conuerte thou vs to thee, and we schal be conuertid; make thou newe oure daies, as at the bigynnyng.
Fakatafokiʻi ʻakimautolu kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, pea te mau liliu moʻoni; fakafoʻou homau ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.
22 But thou castynge awei hast cast awei vs; thou art wrooth ayens vs greetli.
Ka kuo ke mātuʻaki liʻaki ʻakimautolu; ʻoku ke houhau ʻaupito kiate kimautolu.
