Lamentations 4
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
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.
1Gold saromrom lasr arulana ohkla; Eot ke Tempul oalik na inkanek 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!
2Mukul fusr lun Zion elos tuh saok sesr oana gold, A inge pilesreyuk elos oana tup ma orek ke fohk kle.
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.
3Finne kientop in wolf soko el ac katitii ma fusr natul, Tusruktu mwet luk elos sulallal nu sin ma fusr natulos, oana won ostrich uh.
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.
4Elos fuhlela tulik fusr natulos in misa ke masrinsral ac malu; Tulik uh ngusr mwe mongo, a wangin mwet ac sang nu selos.
5They that did feed on dainties are desolate in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
5Mwet ma kang mwe mongo na yuyu meet elos misa fin inkanek uh ke masrinsral; Elos su tohfla in kasrup la elos iluhsya pus uh in sukok mwe mongo.
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.
6Mwet luk elos kalyeiyuk upa liki na mwet ma tuh muta Sodom, Su sun ongoiya ke God El tuh kunausla acn we ke kitin pacl na srisrik.
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;
7Fisrak natusr elos tuh tiana akfohkfokyeyukla, ac elos nasnas oana snow; Wasri ac ku, saromrom finsroalos ke kuiyen manolos.
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.
8Inge elos misa oan ke inkanek uh, tia akilenyuk elos ke sripen sroalsroalla mutalos. Kolo kaclos pulamlamla oana sak, ac arosrosak oan fin sri kaclos.
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.
9Wo nu selos su anwuki ke mweun liki elos su misa tok, Su wangin mwe mongo in sruokya moul lalos, pwanang elso misa ke masrinsral.
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.
10Ongoiya se ma sun mwet luk inge oru sie mwe aksangeng na lulap; Nina ma saokkin tulik natulos, elos poeleak tulik natulos sifacna mwe mongo.
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.
11LEUM GOD El okoama nufon fulen kasrkusrak lal; El akosak sie e in Zion su esukak acn we nwe ke mwesri oan infohk uh.
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.
12Wangin sie mwet in kutena acn, finne mwet leum lun mutunfacl saya, Tuh lulalfongi mu oasr mwet mweun ku in utyak ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem.
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.
13Tusruktu ma inge sikyak, mweyen mwet palu we elos orekma koluk, ac mwet tol uh oasr mwatalos Ke elos pwanang misa lun mwet wangin mwata.
14They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, so that men cannot touch their garments.
14Mwet kol lun acn we elos foroht forma inkanek uh oana mwet kun. Elos arulana srahfon, oru wangin mwet lungse pusralulos.
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.'
15Mwet ah wowoyak ac fahk, “Tiok! Komtal fohkfok! Nimet pusralyu!” Ouinge elos takusrkusr som liki mutunfacl nu ke mutunfacl, a wangin mwet lohang nu selos.
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.
16Wanginla nunak lun LEUM GOD kaclos; El sifacna luseloselik. Wangin nunak lal ke mwet tol ac mwet kol lasr.
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.
17Kut sukok kasru nwe wanginla ku lasr in sifilpa suk, a wanginna kasru tuku nu sesr. Kut tupanna mu mutunfacl se ac tuku kasrekut, a tiana tuku.
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.
18Mwet lokoalok lasr elos tawi kut; kut tiana ku in forfor innek uh. Len lasr uh safla; pacl safla lasr uh tuku tari.
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.
19Elos ukwekuti, mui liki ke eagle uh ac pwesrouli nu facsr lucng me uh. Elos lol acn kut fahsr we fin inging uh, ac kasriki kut ac sruokkuti in acn mwesis.
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.'
20Elos sruokya kuiyen moul lasr, aok tokosra su LEUM GOD El sulela; El su kut tuh lulalfongi mu ac langoekut liki kutena mwet ma ac utyak in mweuni kut uh.
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.
21Mwet Edom ac mwet Uz, kowos in israsr na; engan ke srak oasr pacl in engan lowos uh. Pacl in ongoiya lowos ac fah tuku pac; kowos ac fah koflufolla ac tukulkulwot tukulkulme ke mwekin.
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.
22Zion el eis tari molin ma koluk lal; LEUM GOD El ac tia filikuti in sruoh nwe tok. Tusruktu mwet Edom, LEUM GOD El ac fah kai kowos; El ac fah akkalemyela orekma koluk lowos.
