Young men a mill they have lifted and young men with wood they have staggered.
14 Wazee wameondoka langoni la mji, vijana wameacha kuimba nyimbo zao.
Old [men] from [the] gate they have ceased young men from music their.
15 Furaha imeondoka mioyoni mwetu, kucheza kwetu kumegeuka maombolezo.
It has ceased [the] joy of heart our it has been changed into mourning dancing our.
16 Taji imeanguka kutoka kichwani petu. Ole wetu, kwa maana tumetenda dhambi!
It has fallen [the] crown of head our woe! please to us for we have sinned.
17 Kwa sababu hiyo, mioyo yetu inazimia, kwa sababu ya hayo, macho yetu yamefifia,

18 kwa ajili ya Mlima Sayuni, ambao unakaa ukiwa, nao mbweha wanatembea juu yake.
On [the] mountain of Zion that [is] desolate foxes they have prowled on it.
19 Wewe, Ee Bwana unatawala milele, kiti chako cha enzi chadumu kizazi hadi kizazi.
You O Yahweh for ever you will sit throne your [is] to a generation and a generation.
20 Kwa nini watusahau siku zote? Kwa nini umetuacha kwa muda mrefu?
Why? to perpetuity do you forget us do you abandon? us for length of days.
21 Turudishe kwako mwenyewe, Ee Bwana, ili tupate kurudi. Zifanye mpya siku zetu kama siku za kale,
Cause to return us O Yahweh - to yourself (so let us return *Q(K)*) renew days our like ancient time.
22 isipokuwa uwe umetukataa kabisa na umetukasirikia pasipo kipimo.
That except certainly you have rejected us you are angry towards us up to muchness.
