< 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.
How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great amongst the nations! She who was a princess amongst the provinces has become a slave!
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 bitterly in the night. Her tears are on her cheeks. Amongst all her lovers she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with 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.
Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction and because of great servitude. She dwells amongst the nations. She finds no rest. All her persecutors overtook her in her distress.
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 to Zion mourn, because no one comes to the solemn assembly. All her gates are desolate. Her priests sigh. Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
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 the head. Her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her young children have gone into captivity before the 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.
All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion. Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture. They have gone without strength before the 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.
Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old; when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and no one helped her. The adversaries saw her. They mocked at her desolations.
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 has grievously sinned. Therefore she has become unclean. All who honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. Yes, she sighs and turns backward.
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.
Her filthiness was in her skirts. She didn’t remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, LORD, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.”
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 spread out his hand on all her pleasant things; for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
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 sigh. They seek bread. They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul. “Look, LORD, and see, for I have become despised.”
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 any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, with which the LORD has afflicted me in 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.
“From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet. He has turned me back. He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.
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 by his hand. They are knit together. They have come up on my neck. He made my strength fail. The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom 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 set at nothing all my mighty men within me. He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a wine press.
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 eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me. My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.”
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 spreads out her hands. There is no one to comfort her. The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is amongst them as an unclean thing.
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.
“The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my young 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 lovers, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city, while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
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, LORD; for I am in distress. My heart is troubled. My heart turns over within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad, the sword bereaves. At home, it is like 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 that I sigh. There is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble. They are glad that you have done it. You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they will be 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. Do to them as you have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
