1Sui te bahoeng muhut, sui then khaw tho uh, lungto cim khaw tollong tom kah taphung ah a hawk uh.
1How is the gold become dim! How is the most fine gold changed! The hallowed stones are poured out at the head of every street.
2Zion ca rhoek loh suicilh neh lung vang a thuek te balae tih aka picai kut dongkah a bibi tuitang paikaek bangla a poek uh.
2The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3Pongui long pataeng rhangsuk a pumcum tih a ca a khut. Ka pilnam tanu tah kalaukva khuiah khosoek kah kalaukva bangla muen.
3Even the jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones; the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4Tuihalh ah cahni kah a lai te a dang la kap tih camoe rhoek loh buh a hoe dae amih aka pae om pawh.
4The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst; the young children ask bread, and none breaketh it unto them.
5Buhmong laka ca rhoek tollong ah pong hlampai dongah aka tangnah rhoek loh natva ni a kop uh.
5They that did feed on dainties are desolate in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6Sodom kah tholhnah lakah ka pilnam nu kathaesainah he rhoeng. Mikhaptok ah mael tih anih te kut long khaw a sambai moenih.
6For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands fell upon her.
7A hlangcoelh rhoek te vuelsong lakah cil tih suktui lakah bok. A rhuhrhong te lungvang lakah, a pumrho te sapphire lakah thimyum.
7Her princes were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire;
8A suisak te amhmol lakah hmuep tih tollong ah hmat uh voel pawh. A vin a rhuh dongah ben uh tih thing koh bangla om.
8Their visage is blacker than coal; they are not known in the streets; their skin is shrivelled upon their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9Khokha dongah rhok lakah cunghang dongkah rhok la om te then. Amih te khohmuen thaih loh a thun tih cae uh.
9They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.
10Lungma nu rhoek kut loh a ca a thong uh tih ka pilnam canu kah pocinah dongah amih kah a caak la poeh uh.
10The hands of women full of compassion have sodden their own children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11BOEIPA loh a kosi a sah tih a thintoek thinsa te a kingling. Zion ah hmai a hlup tih a khoengim a hlawp.
11The LORD hath accomplished His fury, He hath poured out His fierce anger; and He hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof.
12Jerusalem vongka longah rhal neh thunkha a kun te diklai manghai neh lunglai dongkah khosa boeih boeih loh tangnah uh pawh.
12The kings of the earth believed not, neither all the inhabitants of the world, that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
13A tonghma rhoek kah tholhnah neh a khosoih rhoek kathaesainah loh a khui ah hlangdueng kah thii a hawk sak.
13It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
14Tollong ah mikdael la vikvuek uh tih a pueinak te ben thai pawt ham thii neh nok uh.
14They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, so that men cannot touch their garments.
15Amih rhalawt rhoek te, Nong uh, nong, nong uh lamtah ben uh boeh,” tila a o uh. Yong khonghak tih a poengdoe uh vaengah, “Namtom taengkah bakuep ham khoengvoep uh boeh,” a ti uh.
15'Depart ye! unclean!' men cried unto them, 'Depart, depart, touch not'; yea, they fled away and wandered; men said among the nations: 'They shall no more sojourn here.'
16BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih a taekyak te amih paelki ham a khoep moenih. Khosoih rhoek kah maelhmai khaw dan uh pawt tih patong neh hamca rhoek khaw rhen uh pawh.
16The anger of the LORD hath divided them; He will no more regard them; they respected not the persons of the priests, they were not gracious unto the elders.
17Amih a khoengvoep bangla kamih khaw ka n'khoengvoep uh. Kaimih kah bomnah ham khaw kaimih mik ni a kha. Aka daem sak pawh namtom te kaimih kah rhaltawt lamloh n'rhaltawt thil khaw a honghi ni.
17As for us, our eyes do yet fail for our vain help; in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
18Kaimih kah toltung ah pongpa ham kaimih kah kholaeh a thuih uh. Kaimih kah a bawtnah loh ha tawn uh tih kaimih kah khohnin a cup coeng dongah kaimih kah a bawknah ha pawk coeng.
18They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our broad places; our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19Kaimih aka hloem rhoek te vaan kahatha lakah kapyang la om uh. Kaimih he tlang ah n'hlak tih khosoek ah khaw kaimih n'rhongngol thil uh.
19Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heaven; they chased us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
20BOEIPA loh a koelh kaimih hnarhong lamkah hil pataeng amih kah rhomhmop ah man. Te te namtom taengah khaw, “A hlipkhup ah n'hing uh bitni,” n'ti uh dae ta.
20The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits; of whom we said: 'Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.'
21Uz Kho kah khosa, khosa Edom nu rhoek ngaingaih uh lamtah kohoe sak uh. Nang te khaw boengloeng loh m'paan tih na rhuihmil neh na yan uh bitni.
21Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz: the cup shall pass over unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
22Zion nu nang kathaesainah tah bawt tih nang poelyoe ham koei voel mahpawh. Edom nu nang kathaesainah khaw a cawh vetih na tholhnah te a phoe ni.
22The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion, He will no more carry thee away into captivity; He will punish thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He will uncover thy sins.
