Lamentations 4
1 How is the gold become dim, Changed the best — the pure gold? Poured out are stones of the sanctuary At the head of all out-places.
Sana jong adeite khuta among joutai! Sana hoi pen jong amoljeng tai. Muntheng sunga um songmantam ho jeng, jong lam lhongp dunga athangsoh tai.
2 The precious sons of Zion, Who are comparable with fine gold, How have they been reckoned earthen bottles, Work of the hands of a potter.
Veuvin Jerusalem chate, Mipha chomtah tahsan hoitah tah sanga mantam jo hochu, Tun leibelho tobang'in aboltauvin ahi.
3 Even dragons have drawn out the breast, They have suckled their young ones, The daughter of my people is become cruel, Like the ostriches in a wilderness.
Sialte jengin jong anoute avah jiuvin, ahinla kami Isrealten avah pouvin ahi. Neldi gamma vacha len “Vagonsang” hon achasenteu anahsah lou bangun ama hon jong a nahsah pouvin ahi.
4 Cleaved hath the tongue of a suckling unto his palate with thirst, Infants asked bread, a dealer out they have none.
Dangchahin achateu lhei jouse adanga abehden jouve. Achateu gilkelin an aholun, Ahin koiman pehding aneipoi.
5 Those eating of dainties have been desolate in out-places, Those supported on scarlet have embraced dunghills.
An twitah tah ana neji ho chun tun lampi dunga khut don apang tauvin ahi. Phatkhatna vonhoi tahtah anavon ho chun tun thilnen kikholna munhoa neh ding aholun ahi.
6 And greater is the iniquity of the daughter of my people, Than the sin of Sodom, That was overturned as [in] a moment, And no hands were stayed on her.
Kamite chonsetna hi Sodom mite chonset na sangin alenjon ahi. Hiche munna chun hetman louvin suhmangna nasatah anachun koimacha akithopi thei ana umpoiye.
7 Purer were her Nazarites than snow, Whiter than milk, ruddier of body than rubies, Of sapphire their form.
Ka lengteu jong phatkhat chun amel hoidanu chu bongnoi leh buhbang sangin ana bangjon, amai’u jong songmantam bangin ana vah'in ahi.
8 Darker than blackness hath been their visage, They have not been known in out-places, Cleaved hath their skin unto their bone, It hath withered — it hath been as wood.
Tunvang amelu jong meihol sangin avomjoi. Lampi dunga jong koiman ahedoh thei tapouve. Avunu jong agu uva abehdan gamin, thing go bangin, agon atah jenge.
9 Better have been the pierced of a sword Than the pierced of famine, For these flow away, pierced through, Without the increase of the field.
Chamjamma kithat hochu gelkella thiho sangin avangphajo ahitaove. Ajeh chu lou laiya neh aput tahlou jeh'in kelthohin amangthah jitaove.
10 The hands of merciful women have boiled their own children, They have been for food to them, In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Masanga mi lainatpi theitah tah nute hon achateu chu neh dingin akihon gam tauve. Amahon gim hesoha konna hoi dohna dingin achateu chu ana nejengun ahi.
11 Completed hath Jehovah His fury, He hath poured out the fierceness of His anger, And he kindleth a fire in Zion, And it devoureth her foundations.
Tunvang alunghanna a kon chun Pakai alungna chim tai. Alunghanna hoise tah chu abuhlhah ahitai. Jerusalema lunghanna mei ana kou dohin hichun khopi chu aleibul kiphuna gei chun ana hallha jeng’e.
12 Believe not did the kings of earth, And any of the inhabitants of the world, That come would an adversary and enemy Into the gates of Jerusalem.
Leist lengte ahin - Vannoi mite koiman - Jerusalem kelkot sunga galmi alutthei ding chu ana tahsan pouve.
13 Because of the sins of her prophets, The iniquities of her priests, Who are shedding in her midst the blood of the righteous,
Ahinlah a themgao ho chonsetna leh a thempu ho chonsetna jeh chun hiti hin anasohdoh tan ahi. Amaho chonset jeh'a themmona bei miho thisan kisoa, khopi kisuboh ahi.
14 They have wandered naked in out-places, They have been polluted with blood, Without [any] being able to touch their clothing,
Amahohi lamlhongpi dunga ana vahle uvin mi thisana akisubohun koiman amaho atong kha ngam pouvin ahi.
15 'Turn aside — unclean,' they called to them, 'Turn aside, turn aside, touch not,' For they fled — yea, they have wandered, They have said among nations: 'They do not add to sojourn.'
Mipiten chemangun tin asamun aboh nahitauve, neitong khahihun atiuve. Amaho gamla tahin ajamun gamchom mite laha avahle uvin ahinlah koiman achensah nom pouvin ahi.
16 The face of Jehovah hath divided them, He doth not add to behold them, The face of priests they have not lifted up, Elders they have not favoured.
Pakai amatahin amaho hi apanpi nom tapouvin muchom chomma athethang gam’u ahitai. Mipihon jong thempuho hi anahsah tapouvin, alamkai hou jong jana anei tapouvin ahi.
17 While we exist — consumed are our eyes for our vain help, In our watch-tower we have watched for a nation [that] saveth not.
Eihon i-pankhompi houvin eihung huhdoh diuvin ingaichauvin, eikithopi theiloudiu nam mite kom jenga jong panpi ingaichauvin a phachom pon ahi.
18 They have hunted our steps from going in our broad-places, Near hath been our end, fulfilled our days, For come hath our end.
Thiding kichat jeh'in lampi dunga jong kavah le ngam pouvin, amahthah ding nikhou jong ahung naitan, amah thah ding ihitauve.
19 Swifter have been our pursuers, Than the eagles of the heavens, On the mountains they have burned [after] us, In the wilderness they have laid wait for us.
Igalmiteu hi mulaopi sangin jong aleng hat jon, Molsang chung dunga jammang go jong leuhen eimudohdiu ahin, gamthip langa kisel jong leuhen hiche munna jong chu eina chan nahlai dingu ahiye.
20 The breath of our nostrils — the anointed of Jehovah, Hath been captured in their pits, of whom we said: 'In his shadow we do live among nations.'
Eihon leiset nam pumpi jouse hoa konna eihuhdoh diuva ina monpiu Pakai thaonu i-engpau jeng jong, akiselna munna konin a mandoh tauvin ahi.
21 Joy and rejoice, O daughter of Edom, Dwelling in the land of Uz, Even unto thee pass over doth a cup, Thou art drunk, and makest thyself naked.
Vo! Edom mite Uz gamsunga hi nakipa theiju hinam? Ahin nangin jong Pakai lunghanna khonna konna hi na don tei ding ahi. Nang jeng jong na jukhamna munna sagoh keova naki koi ding ahi.
22 Completed [is] thy iniquity, daughter of Zion, He doth not add to remove thee, He hath inspected thy iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He hath removed [thee] because of thy sins!
Vo khopi hoitah Jerusalem, naki engbolna nihko kichai ding ahitai, Naki engbolna gamma konna nahung kile vahding ahitai. Ahinlah Edom naki engbolna hi kipan bepseu ahinalaiye; Nachonsetna ho jouse hung kiphongdoh vahding ahi tai.
