Eoksra 1
1 Pakomuta! Fuka mukela lun Jerusalem, su sie pacl ah sessesla ke mwet. Sie pacl ah akfulatyeyuk el sin faclu nufon, a inge el supwar oana sie katinmas. Meet el arulana fulat, a inge el putatyang nu in moul in mwet kohs.
The city that once was full of people is now sitting all alone. She has become like a widow, though she was a mighty nation. She was a princess among the nations, but is now forced into slavery.
2 El tung ke fong nufon, ac sroninmutal sorori ke likintupal. Inmasrlon mwet kawuk lal meet ah nufon, tiana sie lula in akwoyal. Mwet asruoki nu sel meet ah sisella, ac inge elos nukewa lainul.
She weeps and wails in the night, and her tears cover her cheeks. None of her lovers comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her. They have become her enemies.
3 Mwet Judah elos mwet kohs ke sripen lillilyak elos liki acn selos. Elos muta in facl saya, ac wangin acn elos in pangon acn selos sifacna. Mwet lokoalok lalos raunelosla, ac wangin innek in kaingla lalos.
After poverty and affliction, Judah has gone into exile. She lives among the nations and finds no rest. All her pursuers overtook her in her desperation.
4 Wanginla mwet tuku nu ke Tempul in pacl inge in tuh alu ke len mutal. Tulik mutan su tuh alullul we elos muta in keok, ac mwet tol elos sasao na. Mutunpot in siti uh oalallana, ac acn Zion oan in ongoiya lulap.
The roads of Zion mourn because none come to the appointed feasts. All her gates are desolate. Her priests groan. Her virgins are sorrowful and she herself is in complete distress.
5 Mwet lokoalok lal elos kutangulla, ac el oan ye ku lalos. LEUM GOD El oru elan keok ke sripen ma koluk puspis lal. Tulik natul uh sruoh ac utukla lukel.
Her adversaries have become her master; her enemies prosper. Yahweh has afflicted her for her many sins. Her little children go into captivity to her adversary.
6 Wolana lun Jerusalem wanginla, Mwet kol lalos elos oana deer ma munasla ke masrinsral, Su apkuran in wanginla ku la ke elos kaingkin mwet ma ukwalos uh.
Beauty has left the daughter of Zion. Her princes have become like deer that cannot find pasture, and they go without strength before their pursuer.
7 Ke Jerusalem el musalla ac mukaimtalla in pacl inge, el esamak ma nukewa ma wo nu sel meet ah. Ke el putatyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lal, wangin sie acn ku in kasrel mweuni mwet lokoalok lal. Mwet kutangulla uh isrunul ke el ikori.
In the days of her affliction and her homelessness, Jerusalem will call to mind all her precious treasures that she had in former days. When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, no one helped her. The adversaries saw her and laughed at her destruction.
8 Wanginla sunakinyal; el koflufolla, ac sununteiyuk el. El sao ac wikin mutal ke mwekin. Jerusalem el aktaekyal sifacna ke ma koluk lulap lal.
Jerusalem sinned greatly, therefore, she has become scorned as something that is filthy. All who honored her now despise her since they have seen her nakedness. She groans and tries to turn away.
9 Ma fohkfok lal arulana mohtotla, tusruktu wanginna nunkeyen ma ac sikyak uh sel. Ikori lal ah arulana koluk, ac wangin sie mwet ku in akwoyal. Mwet lokoalok lal elos kutangla, ac el wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac siyuk ke pakoten lal.
She has become unclean beneath her skirts. She did not think about her future. Her fall was terrible. There was no one to comfort her. She cried out, “Look at my affliction, Yahweh, for the enemy has become too great!”
10 Mwet lokoalok lal elos pisrala ma saok lal nukewa. El sifacna liye ke elos utyak nu in Tempul, Yen LEUM GOD El tia lela mwet pegan in utyak nu we.
The adversary has put his hand on all our precious treasures. She has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, even though you had commanded that they must not enter into your assembly place.
11 Mwet lal elos sasao ke sukyen ma elos in kang; Elos sang ma saok lalos ayaol mwe mongo in sruokya moul lalos. Ac siti uh wowoyak ac fahk, “Liyeyu, LEUM GOD. Liyeyu in keok luk.”
All her people groan as they search for bread. They have given their precious treasures for food to restore their lives. Look, Yahweh, and consider me, for I have become worthless.
12 El pang nu selos nukewa su fufahsryesr yen el muta we, ac fahk, “Ngetma liyeyu! Wangin sie mwet nu pulakin waiok oana nga, Waiok su ma LEUM GOD El use nu fuk in pacl in kasrkusrak lal.
Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is anyone else's sorrow like the sorrow that is being inflicted on me, since Yahweh has tormented me on the day of his fierce anger.
13 “El supwama e lucng me, sie e su firirrir in nga. El filiya sie kwasrip nu sik ac sisyuwi nu infohk uh. Na El sisyula ac likiyuwi in mutana in waiok luk.
It is from on high that he has sent fire into my bones, and it has conquered them. He has spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He has made me constantly desolate and weak.
14 “El tuni ma koluk luk nukewa ac kapsreni nu sie; El sripisrya ke kwawuk, ac nga munasla ke toasriya uh. Leum El eisyuyang nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, ac wangin ma nga ku in oru in lainulos.
The yoke of my transgressions is bound together by his hand. They are knit together and placed upon my neck. He has made my strength fail. The Lord has given me over into their hands, and I am not able to stand.
15 “Leum El isrun mwet mweun fokoko luk nukewa; El supwama sie un mwet mweun in tuh kunausla mwet fusr luk. El itungya mwet luk oana grape ke nien fut wain.
The Lord has tossed aside all my mighty men who defended me. He has called an assembly against me to crush my vigorous men. The Lord has trampled the virgin daughter of Judah in the winepress.
16 “Pa inge sripa se oru sroninmutuk kahkkakla uh. Wangin mwet ku in akwoyeyula; wangin mwet ku in akkeyeyu. Mwet lokoalok luk kutangyula; wangin kutena ma lula lun mwet luk.
For these things I weep, my eyes overflow with tears; for a comforter is far from me, one who restores my life. My children are desolate because the enemy has conquered me.
17 “Nga asroela pouk, tuh wangin mwet in kasreyu. LEUM GOD El pangon mwet lokoalok liki acn nukewa in lainyu. Elos oreyu oana sie ma na olafohkfok.
Zion has spread her hands wide; there is none to comfort her. Yahweh has commanded that those around Jacob should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is something unclean to them.
18 “Tusruktu suwohs ma LEUM GOD El oru, mweyen nga tuh tia aksol. Porongeyu, kowos mwet yen nukewa; ngetma liyeyu in waiok luk. Mukul fusr ac mutan fusr luk elos utukla nu in sruoh.
Yahweh is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Hear, all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my vigorous men have gone into captivity.
19 “Nga pang nu sin mwet ma asruoki nu sik, tuh elos srunga kasreyu. Mwet tol ac mwet kol elos misa fin inkanek in siti uh Ke elos sukok mongo in sruokya moul lalos sifacna.
I called for my friends, but they were treacherous toward me. My priests and my elders perished in the city, while they sought food to restore their lives.
20 “O LEUM GOD, ngetma liye keok lulap lun ngunik! Insiuk arulana musalla ke asroeyen ma koluk luk. Oasr akmas orek ke inkanek uh; finne in lohm uh oasr pac misa.
Look, Yahweh, for I am in distress; my stomach churns, my heart is disturbed within me, for I have been very rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves a mother, inside the house there is only death.
21 “Porongo sasao luk; wanginna mwet in akwoyeyu. Mwet lokoalok luk elos engan lah kom ase ongoiya nu sik. Tari supwama len se ma kom tuh wulema kac ah; oru mwet lokoalok luk in keok oapana nga.
They have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble and they are glad that you have done it. You have brought the day you promised; now let them become like me.
22 “Sang mwatalos ke ma koluk lalos nukewa. Kalyaelos oana ke kom tuh kalyeiyu ke ma koluk luk. Nga sasao in keok luk, ac insiuk musallana.”
Let all their wickedness come before you. deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. My groans are many and my heart is faint.
