Ka La 4
1 Sana jong adeite khuta among joutai! Sana hoi pen jong amoljeng tai. Muntheng sunga um songmantam ho jeng, jong lam lhongp dunga athangsoh tai.
HOW is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.
2 Veuvin Jerusalem chate, Mipha chomtah tahsan hoitah tah sanga mantam jo hochu, Tun leibelho tobang'in aboltauvin ahi.
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3 Sialte jengin jong anoute avah jiuvin, ahinla kami Isrealten avah pouvin ahi. Neldi gamma vacha len “Vagonsang” hon achasenteu anahsah lou bangun ama hon jong a nahsah pouvin ahi.
Even the sea monsters 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.
4 Dangchahin achateu lhei jouse adanga abehden jouve. Achateu gilkelin an aholun, Ahin koiman pehding aneipoi.

Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8 Tunvang amelu jong meihol sangin avomjoi. Lampi dunga jong koiman ahedoh thei tapouve. Avunu jong agu uva abehdan gamin, thing go bangin, agon atah jenge.
Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9 Chamjamma kithat hochu gelkella thiho sangin avangphajo ahitaove. Ajeh chu lou laiya neh aput tahlou jeh'in kelthohin amangthah jitaove.
They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.

For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
14 Amahohi lamlhongpi dunga ana vahle uvin mi thisana akisubohun koiman amaho atong kha ngam pouvin ahi.
They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
15 Mipiten chemangun tin asamun aboh nahitauve, neitong khahihun atiuve. Amaho gamla tahin ajamun gamchom mite laha avahle uvin ahinlah koiman achensah nom pouvin ahi.
They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.

Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.

The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.
