Rhaengsae 1
1 Balae tih pilnam aka ping khopuei te amah bueng kho a sak. Namtom taengah a cungkuem te nuhmai bangla om tih, paeng taengkah boeinu saldong la poeh.
How does the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
2 Khoyin ah rhap, rhap tih a mikphi loh a kam dongla long. Anih aka lungnah boeih khuiah khaw anih ham aka hloep om pawh. A hui boeih te anih taengah hnukpoh uh tih, anih ham thunkha la om uh.
She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she has none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
3 Judah te phacipphabaem neh thohtatnah cungkuem lamloh a poelyoe uh. Anih te namtom taengah om tih ngolbuel pataeng a dang moenih. Anih aka hloem boeih loh anih te longcaek ah a kae uh.
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwells among the heathen, she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
4 Rhahdoe cangpoem ah khaw Zion longpuei kah khoning ah ha pawk uh pawh. A vongka khaw boeih pong coeng. A khosoih khaw huei uh coeng. A oila rhoek khaw pae uh tih amah te phaep uh.
The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
5 A rhal te a lu la a om pah tih a thunkha khaw dingsuek uh. A boekoek a yet dongah BOEIPA loh a pae sak tih a ca rhoek te a rhal hmai ah tamna la cet uh.
Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
6 A tanu khui lamloh Zion nu tah a rhuepomnah cungkuem khaw a coe pah coeng. A mangpa rhoek te rhangrhaeh bangla om uh tih luemnah hmu uh pawh. Te dongah aka hloem kah mikhmuh ah thadueng om kolla yong uh.
And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem loh a phacipphabaem neh a airhoeng hnin ah tah hlamat kum kah khuehtawn cungkuem neh a om uh te a poek. A pilnam loh rhal kut dongah cungku tih anih te aka bom om pawh. Rhal loh anih a hmuh vaengah a rhawpnah te a nueih thil uh.
Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
8 Jerusalem a tholh te tholhnah coeng ni. Te dongah anih a thangpom khaw longhnawt la boeih poeh coeng. Anih kah a yah aka hmuh ham khaw haam uh. Amah khaw huei tih a hnuk la mael.
Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yes, she sighs, and turns backward.
9 A hnihmoi kah a tihnai neh a hmailong khaw poek pawh. Anih aka hloep a om van pawt ah khobaerhambae la suntla uh. BOEIPA aw kai kah phacipphabaem dongah thunkha rhoek a pantai khaw hmuh lah saw.
Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembers not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy has magnified himself.
10 A ngailaemnah cungkuem soah rhal loh a kut a duen. Namah kah hlangping taengah kun pawt ham na uen lalah a rhokso ah namtom a kun te a hmuh.
The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things: for she has seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom you did command that they should not enter into your congregation.
11 A pilnam te boeih huei uh. Buh a tlap uh tih a khuehtawn a paek uh. A hinglu hlawt ham ni a ngailaemnah khaw caak la a thung. BOEIPA so lamtah a hnom ham ka om he paelki lah.
All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.
12 Longpuei kah aka khum boeih ke paelki uh lamtah so uh lah, kai kah nganboh bangla nganboh aka khueh nangmih ah a om moenih. Te te a thintoek thinsa hnin ah BOEIPA loh kai soah a poelyoe tih m'pae sak.
Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow, which is done to me, with which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 Hmuensang lamkah ka rhuh khuila hmai han tueih. Ka kho ham lawk a tung tih a man sak dongah kai he a hnuk la m'mael sak. Hnin at puet ah kai he pumthim hainak neh aka pong la n'khueh.
From above 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 faint all the day.
14 Ka boekoek hnamkun te a kut neh a hlin tih ka rhawn dongla a pawk vaengah rhap a cuet. Ka thadueng a tangdawt sak tih kai aka thoh thai pawt kah kut dongah Boeipa loh kai n'khueh.
The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up on my neck: he has made my strength to fall, the LORD has delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 Ka boei cungkuem khaw ka kotak ah tah Boeipa loh a suntlae coeng. Ka tongpang rhoek neet ham kai he tingtunnah ng'hueh thil. Judah nu oila te ka Boeipa loh misur rhom ah a nook.
The LORD has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the middle of me: he has called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD has trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a wine press.
16 Te dongah kai kamah mik khaw rhap tih ka mik lamkah tui suntla. Kai aka hloep tih hinglu aka mael sak khaw kai lamloh lakhla coeng. Ka ca rhoek aka om khaw thunkha loh a et tih pong uh.
For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
17 Zion loh a kut te a phuel dae anih te hloep pawh. A kaepvai kah a rhal te BOEIPA loh Jakob ham a uen coeng dongah Jerusalem khaw amih lakli ah pumom la poeh.
Zion spreads forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
18 BOEIPA amah tah dueng dae a ol te ka koek oeh. Pilnam aw, pilnam boeih aw hnatun uh laeh. Ka oila neh ka tongpang rhoek loh tamna la a caeh kah ka nganboh he hmu uh lah.
The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 Amih te ka lungnah la ka khue dae kai m'phok uh. Khopuei kah ka khosoih rhoek neh patong rhoek loh amamih caak a tlap uh pangthuem ah pal uh tih a hinglu te a mael puei uh.
I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
20 BOEIPA aw kai taengkah puencak he hmu lah. Ka ko tah noong tih ka khui ah ka lungbuei a maelh. A koek khaw ka koek oeh coeng dongah imkhui kah dueknah bangla kawtpoeng ah cunghang loh a cakol sak.
Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; my heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death.
21 Ka huei te a yaak uh dae kai he n'hloep moenih. Ka thunkha boeih loh ka yoethae he a yaak uh vaengah ngaingaih uh. Namah ham na saii tih na khue khohnin na pha vaengah kai bangla om uh bitni.
They have heard that I sigh: there is none 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 called, and they shall be like to me.
22 Amih kah boethae cungkuem te na mikhmuh ah phoe saeh. Kai taengah na poelyoe bangla amih te poelyoe van. Ka boekoek cungkuem dongah ka hueinah khaw yet tih ka lungbuei hal coeng.
Let all their wickedness come before you; and do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
