Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1How lonely lies the city, once so full of people! She who was great among the nations has become a widow. The princess of the provinces has become a slave.
1Balae tih pilnam aka ping khopuei te amah bueng kho a sak. Namtom taengah a cungkuem te nuhmai bangla om tih, paeng taengkah boeinu saldong la poeh.
2She weeps aloud in the night, with tears upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
2Khoyin ah rhap, rhap tih a mikphi loh a kam dongla long. Anih aka lungnah boeih khuiah khaw anih ham aka hloep om pawh. A hui boeih te anih taengah hnukpoh uh tih, anih ham thunkha la om uh.
3Judah has gone into exile under affliction and harsh slavery; she dwells among the nations but finds no place to rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
3Judah te phacipphabaem neh thohtatnah cungkuem lamloh a poelyoe uh. Anih te namtom taengah om tih ngolbuel pataeng a dang moenih. Anih aka hloem boeih loh anih te longcaek ah a kae uh.
4The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gates are deserted; her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she herself is bitter with anguish.
4Rhahdoe cangpoem ah khaw Zion longpuei kah khoning ah ha pawk uh pawh. A vongka khaw boeih pong coeng. A khosoih khaw huei uh coeng. A oila rhoek khaw pae uh tih amah te phaep uh.
5Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. For the LORD has brought her grief because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone away as captives before the enemy.
5A rhal te a lu la a om pah tih a thunkha khaw dingsuek uh. A boekoek a yet dongah BOEIPA loh a pae sak tih a ca rhoek te a rhal hmai ah tamna la cet uh.
6All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; they lack the strength to flee in the face of the hunter.
6A tanu khui lamloh Zion nu tah a rhuepomnah cungkuem khaw a coe pah coeng. A mangpa rhoek te rhangrhaeh bangla om uh tih luemnah hmu uh pawh. Te dongah aka hloem kah mikhmuh ah thadueng om kolla yong uh.
7In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands she received no help. Her enemies looked upon her, laughing at her downfall.
7Jerusalem loh a phacipphabaem neh a airhoeng hnin ah tah hlamat kum kah khuehtawn cungkuem neh a om uh te a poek. A pilnam loh rhal kut dongah cungku tih anih te aka bom om pawh. Rhal loh anih a hmuh vaengah a rhawpnah te a nueih thil uh.
8Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her now despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away.
8Jerusalem a tholh te tholhnah coeng ni. Te dongah anih a thangpom khaw longhnawt la boeih poeh coeng. Anih kah a yah aka hmuh ham khaw haam uh. Amah khaw huei tih a hnuk la mael.
9Her uncleanness stains her skirts; she did not consider her end. Her downfall was astounding; there was no one to comfort her. Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!
9A hnihmoi kah a tihnai neh a hmailong khaw poek pawh. Anih aka hloep a om van pawt ah khobaerhambae la suntla uh. BOEIPA aw kai kah phacipphabaem dongah thunkha rhoek a pantai khaw hmuh lah saw.
10The adversary has seized all her treasures. For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary— those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly.
10A ngailaemnah cungkuem soah rhal loh a kut a duen. Namah kah hlangping taengah kun pawt ham na uen lalah a rhokso ah namtom a kun te a hmuh.
11All her people groan as they search for bread. They have traded their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. Look, O LORD, and consider, for I have become despised.
11A pilnam te boeih huei uh. Buh a tlap uh tih a khuehtawn a paek uh. A hinglu hlawt ham ni a ngailaemnah khaw caak la a thung. BOEIPA so lamtah a hnom ham ka om he paelki lah.
12Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see! Is there any sorrow like mine, which was inflicted on me, which the LORD made me suffer on the day of His fierce anger?
12Longpuei kah aka khum boeih ke paelki uh lamtah so uh lah, kai kah nganboh bangla nganboh aka khueh nangmih ah a om moenih. Te te a thintoek thinsa hnin ah BOEIPA loh kai soah a poelyoe tih m'pae sak.
13He sent fire from on high, and it overpowered my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.
13Hmuensang lamkah ka rhuh khuilah hmai han tueih. Ka kho ham lawk a tung tih a man sak dongah kai he a hnuk la m'mael sak. Hnin at puet ah kai he pumthim hainak neh aka pong la n'khueh.
14My transgressions are bound into a yoke, knit together by His hand; they are draped over my neck, and the Lord has broken my strength. He has delivered me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.
14Ka boekoek hnamkun te a kut neh a hlin tih ka rhawn dongla a pawk vaengah rhap a cuet. Ka thadueng a tangdawt sak tih kai aka thoh thai pawt kah kut dongah Boeipa loh kai n'khueh.
15The Lord has rejected all the mighty men in my midst; He has summoned an army against me to crush my young warriors. Like grapes in a winepress, the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
15Ka boei cungkuem khaw ka kotak ah tah Boeipa loh a suntlae coeng. Ka tongpang rhoek neet ham kai he tingtunnah ng'hueh thil. Judah nu oila te ka Boeipa loh misur rhom ah a nook.
16For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.
16Te dongah kai kamah mik khaw rhap tih ka mik lamkah tui a suntla. Kai aka hloep tih hinglu aka mael sak khaw kai lamloh lakhla coeng. Ka ca rhoek aka om khaw thunkha loh a et tih pong uh.
17Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed against Jacob that his neighbors become his foes. Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
17Zion loh a kut te a phuel dae anih te hloep pawh. A kaepvai kah a rhal te BOEIPA loh Jakob ham a uen coeng dongah Jerusalem khaw amih lakli ah pumom la poeh.
18The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against His command. Listen, all you people; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into captivity.
18BOEIPA amah tah dueng dae a ol te ka koek oeh. Pilnam aw, pilnam boeih aw hnatun uh laeh. Ka oila neh ka tongpang rhoek loh tamna la a caeh kah ka nganboh he hmu uh lah.
19I called out to my lovers, but they have betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
19Amih te ka lungnah la ka khue dae kai m'phok uh. Khopuei kah ka khosoih rhoek neh patong rhoek loh amamih caak a tlap uh pangthuem ah pal uh tih a hinglu te a mael puei uh.
20See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am churning within; my heart is pounding within me, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is death.
20BOEIPA aw kai taengkah puencak he hmu lah. Ka ko tah noong tih ka khui ah ka lungbuei a maelh. A koek khaw ka koek oeh coeng dongah imkhui kah dueknah bangla kawtpoeng ah cunghang loh a cakol sak.
21People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that You have caused it. May You bring the day You have announced, so that they may become like me.
21Ka huei te a yaak uh dae kai he n'hloep moenih. Ka thunkha boeih loh ka yoethae he a yaak uh vaengah ngaingaih uh. Namah ham na saii tih na khue khohnin na pha vaengah kai bangla om uh bitni.
22Let all their wickedness come before You, and deal with them as You have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is faint.
22Amih kah boethae cungkuem te na mikhmuh ah phoe saeh. Kai taengah na poelyoe bangla amih te poelyoe van. Ka boekoek cungkuem dongah ka hueinah khaw yet tih ka lungbuei hal coeng.
