Eoksra 4
1 Gold saromrom lasr arulana ohkla; Eot ke Tempul oalik na inkanek uh.
How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! The hallowed stones are cast forth at the head of every street.
2 Mukul fusr lun Zion elos tuh saok sesr oana gold, A inge pilesreyuk elos oana tup ma orek ke fohk kle.
The noble sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3 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.
The very jackals reach forth the breast; they suckle their young; But the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches of the desert.
4 Elos fuhlela tulik fusr natulos in misa ke masrinsral ac malu; Tulik uh ngusr mwe mongo, a wangin mwet ac sang nu selos.
The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst; Young children ask for bread, and no man breaketh it for them.
5 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.
Those that fed on dainties are desolate in the streets; Those that have been brought up in scarlet embrace the dunghill.
6 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.
The punishment of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of Sodom, Which was overthrown in a moment, though no hands came against her.
7 Fisrak natusr elos tuh tiana akfohkfokyeyukla, ac elos nasnas oana snow; Wasri ac ku, saromrom finsroalos ke kuiyen manolos.
Her princes were purer than snow, whiter than milk; More ruddy than coral was their body; Their visage was of sapphire.
8 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.
Now darker than a coal is their countenance; they are not known in the streets. Their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is become dry, like wood.
9 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.
More fortunate are the slain by the sword than the slain by famine; For these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
10 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.
The hands of tender-hearted women cooked their own children; They were their food, in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 LEUM GOD El okoama nufon fulen kasrkusrak lal; El akosak sie e in Zion su esukak acn we nwe ke mwesri oan infohk uh.
Jehovah hath spent upon them his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger; He hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured its foundations.
12 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.
The kings of the earth believed not, nor all the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary would enter, and the enemy, within the gates of Jerusalem.
13 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.
It was on account of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, Who shed in the midst of her the blood of the righteous.
14 Mwet kol lun acn we elos foroht forma inkanek uh oana mwet kun. Elos arulana srahfon, oru wangin mwet lungse pusralulos.
They stumbled like blind men through the streets, polluted with blood, So that men could not touch their garments.
15 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.
“Depart! unclean!” men cried to them. “Depart, depart, touch not!” As they fled, they stumbled; men said among the nations, “They shall dwell there no more.”
16 Wanginla nunak lun LEUM GOD kaclos; El sifacna luseloselik. Wangin nunak lal ke mwet tol ac mwet kol lasr.
The anger of Jehovah hath scattered them; he will no more care for them; They paid no regard to the priests, they had no compassion for the elders.
17 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.
Still did our eyes fail, looking for help in vain; On our watch-tower did we watch for a nation that could not save us.
18 Mwet lokoalok lasr elos tawi kut; kut tiana ku in forfor innek uh. Len lasr uh safla; pacl safla lasr uh tuku tari.
They laid snares for our steps, so that we could not go in our streets; Our end is near; our days are accomplished, yea, our end is come!
19 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.
Swifter were our pursuers than the eagles of heaven; They chased us upon the mountains; they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
20 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.
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits, Under whose shadow we said that we should live among the nations.
21 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.
Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz! Yet to thee also shall the cup come! thou shalt be drunken, and shalt expose thy nakedness.
22 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.
Thy punishment is at an end, O daughter of Zion! no more will he carry thee into captivity; But thine iniquity will he punish, O daughter of Edom! he will uncover thy sins.
