< Lamentations 1 >

1 Aleph. Hou sittith aloone the citee ful of puple? the ladi of folkis is maad as a widewe; the prince of prouynces is maad vndir tribute.
Hĩ! Kaĩ itũũra rĩu inene nĩrĩikarĩte rĩtiganĩirio, o rĩu rĩratũire rĩiyũrĩte andũ-ĩ! Kaĩ rĩĩkũhaana o ta mũtumia wa ndigwa, ũcio ũraarĩ mũnene gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ-ĩ! O we ũratũire arĩ mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja ngʼongo-inĩ cia bũrũri-rĩ, rĩu atuĩkĩte ngombo.
2 Beth. It wepynge wepte in the niyt, and the teeris therof ben in `the chekis therof; `noon is of alle the dereworthe therof, that coumfortith it; alle the frendis therof forsoken it, and ben maad enemyes to it.
Ũtukũ araaraga akĩrĩra na ruo, maithori makanyũrũrũkĩra makai-inĩ make. Arĩa othe marendanĩte nake-rĩ, hatirĩ o na ũmwe wa kũmũhooreria. Arata ake othe nĩmamũkunyanĩire; othe matuĩkĩte thũ ciake.
3 Gymel. Juda passide fro turment and multitude of seruage, it dwellide among hethene men, and foond no reste; alle the pursueris therof token it among angwischis.
Thuutha wa thĩĩna na mawĩra maritũ, Juda nĩatwarĩtwo ithaamĩrio. Atũũraga gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ; agakĩaga handũ ha kũhurũka. Arĩa othe mamũingatithagia nĩmamũkinyĩrĩire arĩ hatĩka-inĩ ciake.
4 Deleth. The weies of Sion mourenen, for no men comen to the solempnytee; alle the yatis therof ben distried, the prestis therof weilen; the vergyns therof ben defoulid, and it is oppressid with bitternesse.
Njĩra cia gũthiĩ Zayuni no macakaya, nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ andũ mookaga ciathĩ ciake iria njathane. Matoonyero make mothe makirĩte ihooru, athĩnjĩri-Ngai ake no gũcaaya maracaaya, airĩtu ake no kũgirĩka, nake arĩ na ruo rũnene.
5 He. The enemyes therof ben maad in the heed, and the enemyes therof ben maad riche, for the Lord spak on it. For the multitude of wickidnessis therof the litle children therof ben led in to caitiftee, bifore the face of the troblere.
Amuku ake matuĩkĩte nĩo mamwathaga; thũ ciake nĩcio igaacĩire. Jehova nĩamũrehithĩirie kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make maingĩ. Ciana ciake itahĩtwo igatwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ, igatuĩka mĩgwate ya thũ.
6 Vau. And al the fairnesse of the douyter of Syon yede out fro the douyter of Sion; the princes therof ben maad as rammes not fyndynge lesewis; and yeden forth withouten strengthe bifore the face of the suere.
Mwarĩ wa Zayuni nĩehereirwo nĩ riiri wake. Anene ake mahaanĩte ta thwariga ciagĩte ũrĩithio; moorĩte matarĩ na hinya, moimĩtwo thuutha nĩ arĩa mamaingatithĩtie.
7 Zai. And Jerusalem bithouyte on the daies of hir affliccioun and of trespassyng, and on alle hir desirable thingis whiche it hadde fro elde daies; whanne the puple therof felle doun in the hond of enemyes, and noon helpere was; enemyes sien it, and scorneden the sabatis therof.
Matukũ-inĩ ma thĩĩna na kũũrũũra gwake-rĩ, Jerusalemu aririkanaga igĩĩna ciothe iria ciarĩ ciake matukũ ma tene. Rĩrĩa andũ ake maagũire moko-inĩ ma thũ-rĩ, gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kũmũteithia. Thũ ciake ikĩmũrora, igĩthekerera mwanangĩko wake.
8 Heth. Jerusalem synnede a synne, therfor it was maad vnstidfast; alle that glorifieden it forsoken it, for thei sien the schenschipe therof; forsothe it weilide, and was turned a bak.
Jerusalemu nĩehĩtie mũno, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akanyiitwo nĩ thaahu. Arĩa othe maamũtĩĩte-rĩ, rĩu nĩmamũnyararĩte, nĩ ũndũ nĩmonete njaga yake; we mwene no gũcaaya aracaaya, na akamahutatĩra.
9 Theth. The filthis therof ben in the feet therof, and it hadde no mynde of hir ende; it was putte doun greetli, and hadde no coumfortour; Lord, se thou my turment, for the enemye is reisid.
Gĩko gĩake nĩkĩnyiitĩte nguo ciake; nake ndaigana gwĩcũũrania mũtũũrĩre wake wa thuutha. Kũgũa gwake kwarĩ gwa kũmakania; gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kũmũhooreria. “Wee Jehova, ta kĩone mathĩĩna makwa, nĩgũkorwo thũ yakwa nĩhootanĩte.”
10 Joth. The enemye putte his hond to alle desirable thingis therof; for it siy hethene men entride in to thi seyntuarie, of which thou haddist comaundid, that thei schulden not entre in to thi chirche.
Thũ ĩyo nĩyegwatĩire igĩĩna-inĩ ciake ciothe; nake akĩĩonera ndũrĩrĩ iria itooĩ Ngai igĩtoonya handũ harĩa hake haamũre: o arĩa wee wathanĩte matikanatoonye kĩũngano-inĩ gĩaku.
11 Caph. Al the puple therof was weilinge and sekynge breed, thei yauen alle preciouse thingis for mete, to coumforte the soule; se thou, Lord, and biholde, for Y am maad vijl.
Andũ ake othe nĩgũcaaya maracaaya magĩetha gĩa kũrĩa; magagĩkũũrania igĩĩna ciao na irio nĩguo matũũre muoyo. “Wee Jehova, ta cũrania wone, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũmeneku.”
12 Lameth. A! alle ye that passen bi the weie, perseyue, and se, if ony sorewe is as my sorewe; for he gaderide awei grapis fro me, as the Lord spak in the day of wraththe of his strong veniaunce.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrahĩtũka, anga mũkuona ũndũ ũyũ ta ũtamũkoniĩ? Ta rorai muone. Nĩ kũrĩ thĩĩna ũiganaine na thĩĩna ũyũ wakwa, thĩĩna ũrĩa njigĩrĩirwo, o ũcio Jehova aandehithĩirie mũthenya wa marakara make mahiũ?
13 Men. Fro an hiy he sente fier in my boonys, and tauyte me; he spredde a brood a net to my feet, he turnede me a bak; he settide me desolat, meddlid togidere al dai with mourenyng.
“We aandũmĩire mwaki uumĩte igũrũ, akĩũikũrũkia, ũgĩtoonya nginya mahĩndĩ-inĩ makwa. Aambĩire magũrũ makwa wabu wa kũmatega, akĩĩhũndũra. Nake agĩtũma nyiitwo nĩ ihooru, ngĩkĩringĩka mũthenya wothe.
14 Nun. The yok of my wickidnessis wakide in the hond of hym, tho ben foldid togidere, and put on my necke; my vertu is maad feble; the Lord yaf me in the hond, fro which Y schal not mowe rise.
“Mehia makwa mohanĩtio, magatuĩka icooki. Moko make mamogothanĩtie hamwe. Magagĩĩkĩrwo ngingo-inĩ yakwa, nake Mwathani agakĩĩniina hinya. Akaaneana moko-inĩ ma arĩa itangĩhota gwĩtiiria.
15 Sameth. The Lord took awei alle my worschipful men fro the myddis of me; he clepide tyme ayens me, that he schulde al to-foule my chosun men; the Lord stampide a pressour to the virgyn, the douytir of Juda.
“Mwathani nĩaregete njamba ciothe cia ita iria ndĩ nacio, akanjĩtĩra ita nĩguo rĩnjũkĩrĩre, rĩmemende aanake akwa. Kĩhihĩro-inĩ gĩake kĩa ndibei-rĩ, Mwathani nĩarangĩrĩirie Mwarĩ Gathirange wa Juda.
16 Ayn. Therfor Y am wepynge, and myn iye is ledynge doun watir; for a coumfortour, conuertynge my soule, is maad fer fro me; my sones ben maad lost, for the enemye hadde the maistrie.
“Maũndũ macio nĩmo maratũma ndĩre, namo maitho makwa makanyũrũrũkia maithori. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ hakuhĩ wa kũũhooreria, gũtirĩ mũndũ wa kũnyũmĩrĩria ngoro. Ciana ciakwa ituĩkĩte cia kũnyamarĩka tondũ thũ nĩyo ĩhootanĩte.”
17 Phe. Sion spredde a brood hise hondis, noon is that coumfortith it; the Lord sente ayenus Jacob enemyes therof, in the cumpas therof; Jerusalem is maad as defoulid with vncleene blood among hem.
Zayuni atambũrũkĩtie moko, no gũtirĩ mũndũ wa kũmũhooreria. Jehova nĩathanĩte ũhoro wa Jakubu atĩ arĩa mariganĩtie nake matuĩke thũ ciake; Jerusalemu nĩatuĩkĩte kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
18 Sade. The Lord is iust, for Y terride his mouth to wrathfulnesse; alle puplis, Y biseche, here ye, and se my sorewe; my virgyns and my yonge men yeden forth in to caitiftee.
“Jehova nĩ mũthingu, no rĩrĩ, nĩndaremeire watho wake. Thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ andũ othe, na mũrore gũthĩĩnĩka gwakwa. Aanake akwa na airĩtu akwa nĩmatahĩtwo magatwarwo thĩ ngʼeni.
19 Coth. I clepide my frendis, and thei disseyueden me; my prestis and myn elde men in the citee ben wastid; for thei souyten mete to hem silf, to coumforte hir lijf.
“Ndaatũmanĩire arĩa twarĩ ngwatanĩro, no-o makĩngunyanĩra. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai akwa, na athuuri akwa marakuĩrĩire itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, o magĩcaragia irio cia kũmatũũria muoyo.
20 Res. Se thou, Lord, for Y am troblid, my wombe is disturblid; myn herte is distried in my silf, for Y am ful of bittirnesse; swerd sleeth with outforth, and lijk deth is at hoome.
“Wee Jehova, ta rora wone ũrĩa ndĩ hatĩka-inĩ! Nĩndĩratangĩka thĩinĩ wakwa, na ngathĩĩnĩka thĩinĩ wa ngoro yakwa, nĩ ũndũ ngoretwo ndĩ mũremi mũno. Na kũu nja, hiũ cia njora nĩirooraga andũ, nakuo thĩinĩ no gĩkuũ kũrĩ.
21 Syn. Thei herden, that Y make ynward weilyng, and noon is that coumfortith me; alle myn enemyes herden myn yuel, thei ben glad, for thou hast do; thou hast brouyt a dai of coumfort, and thei schulen be maad lijk me.
“Andũ nĩmaiguĩte mũcaayo wakwa, no gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kũũhooreria. Thũ ciakwa ciothe nĩciguĩte ũhoro wa hatĩka ciakwa, nacio igakena nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wĩkĩte. Nawe gĩkinyie mũthenya ũrĩa wanĩrĩire nĩguo nao mahaane ta niĩ.
22 Tau. Al the yuel of hem entre byfore thee, and gadere thou grapis awei fro hem, as thou hast gaderid grapis awei fro me; for my wickidnessis, for my weilyngis ben manye, and myn herte is mornynge.
“Waganu wao wothe nĩũgĩkinye mbere yaku, nawe ũmeke o ta ũrĩa ũnjĩkĩte nĩ ũndũ wa mehia makwa mothe. Mĩcaayo yakwa nĩ mĩingĩ, nayo ngoro yakwa nĩĩringĩkĩte.”
