1Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Look and see our disgrace!
1BOEIPA aw poek lamtah kaimih taengkah aka thoeng te paelki laeh. Paelki lamtah kaimih sokah kokhahnah he hmu lah.
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.
2Kaimih kah rho te hlanglak taengla, ka im te kholong taengla pawk coeng.
3We have become fatherless orphans; our mothers are widows.
3Cadah la ka om uh tih nuhmai bangla ka manu napa a om moenih.
4We must buy the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.
4Kamamih tui ha tangka neh ka ok uh tih kamamih kah thing ha a phu daengah ha pawk.
5We are closely pursued; we are weary and find no rest.
5Ka rhawn ah n'hloem uh vaengah ka kohnue uh pawt bangla kaimih he n'duem sak pawh.
6We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
6Buh ka cung uh ham khaw Egypt neh Assyria taengah kut ka duen uh.
7Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their punishment.
7A pa rhoek khaw tholh uh tih kaimih taengah a om voel moenih. Tedae kaimih loh amih kathaesainah te ka phueih uh.
8Slaves rule over us; there is no one to deliver us from their hands.
8Sal rhoekkaimih soah n'taemrhai uh tih amih kut lamkah aka bawt om pawh.
9We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the wilderness.
9Khosoek cunghang hmai ah ka hinglu nen ni ka buh ka dang uh.
10Our skin is as hot as an oven with fever from our hunger.
10Khokha rhamling hmai ah ka vin khaw hmaiulh bangla tloo coeng.
11Women have been ravished in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah.
11Zion kah huta rhoek neh Judah khopuei kah oila rhoek khaw a tholh puei uh.
12Princes have been hung up by their hands; elders receive no respect.
12Amih kut neh mangpa rhoek a kuiok sak tih patong rhoek kah maelhmai khaw hiin uh pawh.
13Young men toil at millstones; boys stagger under loads of wood.
13Tongpang rhoek loh phaklung a phueih uh tih camoe rhoek te thingpum dongah paloe uh.
14The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.
14Vongka lamkah patong rhoek neh, tongpang rhoek khaw a rhotoeng lamloh kangkuen uh.
15Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.
15Kaimih lungbuei kah omthennah he kangkuen coeng tih kaimih kah lamnah khaw nguekcoinah la poeh.
16The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
16Kamih lu kah rhuisam khaw yulh coeng. Anunae ka tholh uh khaw kaimih ham coeng ni.
17Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—
17Te dongah ko kaimih lungbuei he pumthim hainak la coeng. He dongah kaimih kah maelhmai khaw hmuep.
18because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.
18Zion tlang aka pong te a soah maetang ni a pongpa coeng.
19You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.
19BOEIPA namah tah kumhal duela na om tih, na ngolkhoel khaw cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela cak.
20Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
20Balae tih a yoeyah la kaimih nan hnilh? Kaimih nan hnoo khaw khohnin loh sen.
21Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,
21BOEIPA aw kaimih he namah taengah m'mael sak laeh. Ka mael uh van daengah ni hlamat kah bangla kaimih kah khohnin thai neh ka mael uh eh.
22unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
22Kaimih taengah a nah la na thintoek tih kaimih he nan hnawt nan hnawt mai.
