1Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Look and see our disgrace!
1Aw Angraeng, kaicae nuiah kapha hmuen to poek ah; ka tongh o ih kasae thuihaih hae khen ah loe, poek ah.
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.
2Kaicae ih qawk loe minawk ban ah phak boih boeh, kaicae ih imnawk doeh prae kalah kaminawk ban ah phak boih boeh.
3We have become fatherless orphans; our mothers are widows.
3Kaicae loe naqah hoi ampa tawn ai kami ah ni ka oh o boeh, kam nonawk doeh lamhmai ah oh o boeh.
4We must buy the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.
4Naek hanah tui to ka qan o moe, tik hanah thing to ka qan o boeh.
5We are closely pursued; we are weary and find no rest.
5Kaicae loe anghak ai ah tok ka sak o, hmuen phawh loiah kaicae ih tahnong loe kong thai ai boeh.
6We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
6Caaknaek khawt buh ka hak o thai hanah, Izip hoi Assyria kaminawk khaeah kang paek o.
7Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their punishment.
7Kaicae ampanawk loe zae o moe, om o ai boeh; nihcae zaehaih to ka zok o boeh.
8Slaves rule over us; there is no one to deliver us from their hands.
8Misongnawk mah kaicae to uk boeh, nihcae ban thung hoi loisak kami to om ai.
9We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the wilderness.
9Zit kaom praezaek ih sumsen pongah, kaicae loe duekhaih hoi hinghaih salakah takaw to ka pakrong o.
10Our skin is as hot as an oven with fever from our hunger.
10Zok amthlam loiah kaicae ih nganhin doeh omthuh baktiah amnum boeh.
11Women have been ravished in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah.
11Nihcae mah Zion ih nongpatanawk hoi Judah ih tanglanawk to zae o haih.
12Princes have been hung up by their hands; elders receive no respect.
12Angraengnawk to angmacae ban hoiah bangh o moe, kacoehtanawk to azat thok ah a sak o.
13Young men toil at millstones; boys stagger under loads of wood.
13Cang kaeh hanah thendoengnawk to naeh o, nawktanawk to thing aput o sak.
14The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.
14To khongkha thungah kacoehtanawk akun o sak ai, thendoengnawk doeh katoeng kruek o ai boeh.
15Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.
15Palung anghoehaih azaem ving boeh pongah, hnawhaih doeh palungsethaih ah angcoeng lat boeh.
16The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
16Kaicae lu ih angraeng lumuek loe krak ving boeh; ka zae o boeh pongah khosak ka bing o boeh!
17Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—
17To pongah kaicae ih palungthin loe zai sut boeh; hae hmuennawk pongah kaicae ih mik amtueng ai boeh.
18because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.
18Kami angqai krangah kaom, Zion mae loe tasuinawk mah paqaih o haih boeh.
19You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.
19Aw Angraeng, nang loe dungzan ah na cak poe; na angraeng tangkhang loe adung boih khoek to cak poe.
20Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
20Tipongah kaicae nang pahnet poe moe, atue kasawk ah nang pahnawt ving loe?
21Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,
21Aw Angraeng, kaicae hae nangmah khaeah amlaemsak ah; to tih nahaeloe kam laem o let tih; kaicae ih atuenawk loe canghnii ih atue baktiah omsak let ah.
22unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
22Toe kaicae hae nang pahnawt zuep ai moe, palung nang phui thuih hmoek ai nahaeloe, na pathawk let rae ah.
