2 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.
Bitterly she weeps in the night and tear[s] her [are] on cheek her not [belongs] to her a comforter from all lovers her all friends her they have dealt treacherously with her they have become of her enemies.
3 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.
She has gone into exile Judah from affliction and from an abundance of servitude her she dwells among the nations not she has found a resting place all pursuers her they have overtaken her between the narrow places.
4 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.
[the] roads of Zion [are] mourning because not [those who] come an appointed feast all gates her [are] desolate priests her [are] groaning virgins her [are] grieving and she it is bitter to her.
5 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.
They have become opponents her a head enemies her they are at ease for Yahweh he has caused grief to her on [the] multitude of transgressions her children her they have gone captivity before an opponent.
6 Mwarĩ wa Zayuni nĩehereirwo nĩ riiri wake. Anene ake mahaanĩte ta thwariga ciagĩte ũrĩithio; moorĩte matarĩ na hinya, moimĩtwo thuutha nĩ arĩa mamaingatithĩtie.
And it has gone out (from from [the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Zion all splendor her they have become princes her like deer [which] not they have found pasture and they have gone with not strength before a pursuer.
7 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.
She has remembered Jerusalem [the] days of affliction her and homelessness her all precious things her which they were from days of antiquity when fell people her in [the] hand of an opponent and not a helper [belonged] to her they saw her opponents they laughed at annihilation her.
8 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.
Sin she has sinned Jerusalem there-fore impurity she has become all [those who] honored her they despise her for they have seen nakedness her also she has groaned and she has turned away backward.
9 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.”

On these [things] - I [am] weeping eye my - eye my [is] going down water for he is far from me a comforter [one who] restores life my they are children my desolate for he has prevailed [the] enemy.
17 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.
It has spread out Zion hands its not a comforter [belongs] to it he has commanded Yahweh of Jacob [those] around him [will be] opponents his it has become Jerusalem an impure thing between them.
18 “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.
