1 Pakomuta! Fuka mukela lun Jerusalem, su sie pacl ah sessesla ke mwet. Sie pacl ah akfulatyeyuk el sin faclu nufon, a inge el supwar oana sie katinmas. Meet el arulana fulat, a inge el putatyang nu in moul in mwet kohs.
How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! How is she become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, How is she become tributary!
2 El tung ke fong nufon, ac sroninmutal sorori ke likintupal. Inmasrlon mwet kawuk lal meet ah nufon, tiana sie lula in akwoyal. Mwet asruoki nu sel meet ah sisella, ac inge elos nukewa lainul.
She weepeth bitterly in the night; tears are upon her cheeks; Among all her lovers she hath no comforter; All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies.
3 Mwet Judah elos mwet kohs ke sripen lillilyak elos liki acn selos. Elos muta in facl saya, ac wangin acn elos in pangon acn selos sifacna. Mwet lokoalok lalos raunelosla, ac wangin innek in kaingla lalos.
Judah goeth into exile, because of affliction and because of great servitude; She dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest; All her pursuers overtake her in the straits.
4 Wanginla mwet tuku nu ke Tempul in pacl inge in tuh alu ke len mutal. Tulik mutan su tuh alullul we elos muta in keok, ac mwet tol elos sasao na. Mutunpot in siti uh oalallana, ac acn Zion oan in ongoiya lulap.
The ways to Zion mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts; All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, Her virgins wail, and she is in bitterness.
5 Mwet lokoalok lal elos kutangulla, ac el oan ye ku lalos. LEUM GOD El oru elan keok ke sripen ma koluk puspis lal. Tulik natul uh sruoh ac utukla lukel.
Her adversaries have become the head; her enemies prosper; For Jehovah hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; Her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
6 Wolana lun Jerusalem wanginla, Mwet kol lalos elos oana deer ma munasla ke masrinsral, Su apkuran in wanginla ku la ke elos kaingkin mwet ma ukwalos uh.
From the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed; Her princes are become like harts, that find no pasture; Without strength, they flee before the pursuer.
7 Ke Jerusalem el musalla ac mukaimtalla in pacl inge, el esamak ma nukewa ma wo nu sel meet ah. Ke el putatyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lal, wangin sie acn ku in kasrel mweuni mwet lokoalok lal. Mwet kutangulla uh isrunul ke el ikori.
Jerusalem remembereth, in the days of her affliction and of her oppression, All her pleasant things, which she had in the days of old, When her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and she had no helper; Her adversaries saw her, and mocked at her destruction.
8 Wanginla sunakinyal; el koflufolla, ac sununteiyuk el. El sao ac wikin mutal ke mwekin. Jerusalem el aktaekyal sifacna ke ma koluk lulap lal.
Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore is she become vile; All that honored her despise her, because they have seen her shame; She sigheth, and turneth backward.
9 Ma fohkfok lal arulana mohtotla, tusruktu wanginna nunkeyen ma ac sikyak uh sel. Ikori lal ah arulana koluk, ac wangin sie mwet ku in akwoyal. Mwet lokoalok lal elos kutangla, ac el wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac siyuk ke pakoten lal.
Her filthiness is upon her skirts; She thought not of her end, therefore is she brought down wonderfully; she hath no comforter. “Behold, O Jehovah, my affliction, for the enemy doth triumph!”
10 Mwet lokoalok lal elos pisrala ma saok lal nukewa. El sifacna liye ke elos utyak nu in Tempul, Yen LEUM GOD El tia lela mwet pegan in utyak nu we.
The adversary spreadeth his hands over all her pleasant things; Yea, she seeth the nations enter into her sanctuary, Concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into her congregation.
11 Mwet lal elos sasao ke sukyen ma elos in kang; Elos sang ma saok lalos ayaol mwe mongo in sruokya moul lalos. Ac siti uh wowoyak ac fahk, “Liyeyu, LEUM GOD. Liyeyu in keok luk.”
All her people sigh; they seek bread; They give their precious things for bread to sustain life. “Behold, O Jehovah, and consider, how I am become vile!”
12 El pang nu selos nukewa su fufahsryesr yen el muta we, ac fahk, “Ngetma liyeyu! Wangin sie mwet nu pulakin waiok oana nga, Waiok su ma LEUM GOD El use nu fuk in pacl in kasrkusrak lal.
“Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Behold, and see, if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow, which is brought upon me, With which Jehovah hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger!
13 “El supwama e lucng me, sie e su firirrir in nga. El filiya sie kwasrip nu sik ac sisyuwi nu infohk uh. Na El sisyula ac likiyuwi in mutana in waiok luk.
“From on high hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevailed against them: He hath spread a net for my feet; he hath turned me back; He hath made me desolate, faint all the day long.
14 “El tuni ma koluk luk nukewa ac kapsreni nu sie; El sripisrya ke kwawuk, ac nga munasla ke toasriya uh. Leum El eisyuyang nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, ac wangin ma nga ku in oru in lainulos.
“The yoke of my transgressions is fastened in his hand; they are twisted together; They are laid upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fall; The Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I cannot stand.
15 “Leum El isrun mwet mweun fokoko luk nukewa; El supwama sie un mwet mweun in tuh kunausla mwet fusr luk. El itungya mwet luk oana grape ke nien fut wain.
“The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me; He hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men; The Lord hath trodden down the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a wine-vat.
16 “Pa inge sripa se oru sroninmutuk kahkkakla uh. Wangin mwet ku in akwoyeyula; wangin mwet ku in akkeyeyu. Mwet lokoalok luk kutangyula; wangin kutena ma lula lun mwet luk.
“For these things do I weep; mine eye runneth down with water; For far from me are they that should comfort me, that should restore my strength; My children have perished, because the enemy prevailed.”
17 “Nga asroela pouk, tuh wangin mwet in kasreyu. LEUM GOD El pangon mwet lokoalok liki acn nukewa in lainyu. Elos oreyu oana sie ma na olafohkfok.
Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her; Jehovah hath given command against Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him; Jerusalem is become an abhorrence among them.
18 “Tusruktu suwohs ma LEUM GOD El oru, mweyen nga tuh tia aksol. Porongeyu, kowos mwet yen nukewa; ngetma liyeyu in waiok luk. Mukul fusr ac mutan fusr luk elos utukla nu in sruoh.
“Righteous is Jehovah, for I have disobeyed his commandment; Hear, I pray you, all ye nations, and behold my sorrow! My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 “Nga pang nu sin mwet ma asruoki nu sik, tuh elos srunga kasreyu. Mwet tol ac mwet kol elos misa fin inkanek in siti uh Ke elos sukok mongo in sruokya moul lalos sifacna.
“I called upon my lovers, but they have proved false to me; My priests and my elders have expired in the city, While they sought for food to sustain their lives.
20 “O LEUM GOD, ngetma liye keok lulap lun ngunik! Insiuk arulana musalla ke asroeyen ma koluk luk. Oasr akmas orek ke inkanek uh; finne in lohm uh oasr pac misa.
“Behold, O Jehovah, how I am distressed! my bowels boil, My heart turneth itself within me; for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad the sword bereaveth; at home, Death.
21 “Porongo sasao luk; wanginna mwet in akwoyeyu. Mwet lokoalok luk elos engan lah kom ase ongoiya nu sik. Tari supwama len se ma kom tuh wulema kac ah; oru mwet lokoalok luk in keok oapana nga.
“They hear how I sigh, yet none comforteth me; mine enemies have heard of my calamity; they rejoice that thou hast done it. O bring the day which thou hast appointed, that they shall be like me!
22 “Sang mwatalos ke ma koluk lalos nukewa. Kalyaelos oana ke kom tuh kalyeiyu ke ma koluk luk. Nga sasao in keok luk, ac insiuk musallana.”
“Let all their wickedness come before thee, deal thou with them as thou hast dealt with me for all my transgressions! For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.”
