Lamentations 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us; behold, and see our reproach.
1Aw Angraeng, kaicae nuiah kapha hmuen to poek ah; ka tongh o ih kasae thuihaih hae khen ah loe, poek ah.
2Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens.
2Kaicae ih qawk loe minawk ban ah phak boih boeh, kaicae ih imnawk doeh prae kalah kaminawk ban ah phak boih boeh.
3We are become orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
3Kaicae loe naqah hoi ampa tawn ai kami ah ni ka oh o boeh, kam nonawk doeh lamhmai ah oh o boeh.
4We have drunk our water for money; our wood cometh to us for price.
4Naek hanah tui to ka qan o moe, tik hanah thing to ka qan o boeh.
5To our very necks we are pursued; we labour, and have no rest.
5Kaicae loe anghak ai ah tok ka sak o, hmuen phawh loiah kaicae ih tahnong loe kong thai ai boeh.
6We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria, to have bread enough;
6Caaknaek khawt buh ka hak o thai hanah, Izip hoi Assyria kaminawk khaeah kang paek o.
7Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
7Kaicae ampanawk loe zae o moe, om o ai boeh; nihcae zaehaih to ka zok o boeh.
8Servants rule over us; there is none to deliver us out of their hand.
8Misongnawk mah kaicae to uk boeh, nihcae ban thung hoi loisak kami to om ai.
9We get our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
9Zit kaom praezaek ih sumsen pongah, kaicae loe duekhaih hoi hinghaih salakah takaw to ka pakrong o.
10Our skin is hot like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.
10Zok amthlam loiah kaicae ih nganhin doeh omthuh baktiah amnum boeh.
11They have ravished the women in Zion, the maidens in the cities of Judah.
11Nihcae mah Zion ih nongpatanawk hoi Judah ih tanglanawk to zae o haih.
12Princes are hanged up by their hand; the faces of elders are not honoured.
12Angraengnawk to angmacae ban hoiah bangh o moe, kacoehtanawk to azat thok ah a sak o.
13The young men have borne the mill, and the children have stumbled under the wood.
13Cang kaeh hanah thendoengnawk to naeh o, nawktanawk to thing aput o sak.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
14To khongkha thungah kacoehtanawk akun o sak ai, thendoengnawk doeh katoeng kruek o ai boeh.
15The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
15Palung anghoehaih azaem ving boeh pongah, hnawhaih doeh palungsethaih ah angcoeng lat boeh.
16The crown is fallen from our head; woe unto us! for we have sinned.
16Kaicae lu ih angraeng lumuek loe krak ving boeh; ka zae o boeh pongah khosak ka bing o boeh!
17For this our heart is faint, for these things our eyes are dim;
17To pongah kaicae ih palungthin loe zai sut boeh; hae hmuennawk pongah kaicae ih mik amtueng ai boeh.
18For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
18Kami angqai krangah kaom, Zion mae loe tasuinawk mah paqaih o haih boeh.
19Thou, O LORD, art enthroned for ever, Thy throne is from generation to generation.
19Aw Angraeng, nang loe dungzan ah na cak poe; na angraeng tangkhang loe adung boih khoek to cak poe.
20Wherefore dost Thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
20Tipongah kaicae nang pahnet poe moe, atue kasawk ah nang pahnawt ving loe?
21Turn Thou us unto Thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; 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.
22Thou canst not have utterly rejected us, and be exceeding wroth against us!
22Toe kaicae hae nang pahnawt zuep ai moe, palung nang phui thuih hmoek ai nahaeloe, na pathawk let rae ah.
