< Lamentations 2 >

1 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
Balae tih ka Boeipa loh Zion nu te a thintoek neh a yaal thil‍? Israel kah a boeimang khaw vaan lamloh diklai la a voeih pah coeng‍. Te dongah a kho kah khotloeng pataeng a thintoek hnin ah a poek moenih‍.
2 The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
Ka Boeipa loh a dolh phoeiah la Jakob toitlim boeih te lungma a ti moenih‍. A thinpom neh Judah nu kah hmuencak khaw a koengloeng pah‍. A ram neh a mangpa te diklai la a khueh pah tih a poeih pah‍.
3 He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
Thintoek thinling ah Israel ki khaw boeih a ngun sak‍. A thunkha mikhmuh ah a hnuk la bantang kut a maelh vaengah Jakob dongah hmaisai hmai bangla a dom tih a kaepvai a hlawp pah‍.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary. He has killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his wrath like fire.
Thunkha bangla a lii a phuk tih rhal bangla amah bantang ah pai‍. A mik ah ngailaemnah boeih te a ngawn tih Zion nu kah dap ah hmai bangla kosi a hawk pah‍.
5 The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
Ka Boeipa he thunkha bangla om‍. Israel a dolh tih a impuei boeih khaw a dolh pah‍. A hmuencak a phae pah tih Judah nu kah rhahdueknah neh ngueknah a ping sak‍.
6 He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. The LORD has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.
A po te dum bangla a hlaih tih a tingtunnah khaw a phae pah‍. BOEIPA loh Zion kah khoning neh Sabbath khaw a hnilh sak‍. A thintoek neh kosi dongah manghai neh khosoih khaw a tlaitlaek.
7 The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the LORD’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
Ka Boeipa loh a hmueihtuk a hlahpham tih a rhokso khaw a hai coeng‍. Impuei vongtung khaw thunkha kut khaw ah a det‍. Te dongah tingtunnah khohnin bangla BOEIPA im ah ol a huel uh.
8 The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall lament. They languish together.
BOEIPA loh Zion nu kah vongtung phae ham a moeh rhilam a toe coeng‍. A dolh lamloh a kut poem pawt tih rhalmahvong khaw a nguekcoi sak dongah vongtung khaw rhenten tahah‍.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not. Yes, her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
A vongka te diklai la buek tih muelh‍. A thohkalh khaw tlawt coeng‍. A manghai neh a mangpa rhoek khaw namtom taengah om‍. Olkhueng khaw tal tih a tonghma rhoek loh BOEIPA lamkah a mangthui te hmu uh pawh‍.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground. They keep silence. They have cast up dust on their heads. They have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Zion nu patong loh diklai ah ngol uh tih ngam uh‍. A lu ah laipi a phul uh tih tlamhni a vah uh‍. Jerusalem rhoek oila loh a lu te diklai la a buluk uh‍.
11 My eyes fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My bile is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
Mikphi lamloh ka mik thana coeng‍. Ka pilnam nu kah pocinah‍, khorha toltung ah camoe neh cahni kah a rhae dongah ka ko he noong tih ka thin khaw diklai la a kingling‍.
12 They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
A manu rhoek taengah tah‍, “‍Cangpai neh misurtui ta‍?” a ti uh‍. Khopuei toltung ah rhok bangla rhae uh tih a hinglu te a manu kah rhang dongah a kingling uh‍.
13 What shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big as the sea. Who can heal you?
Jerusalem nu nang te metlam kang hih eh‍? Nang taengah metlam kan lutlat eh‍? Nang taengah ba nen lae ka tluk eh‍? Zion nu oila nang kan hloep ham akhaw na pocinah loh tuitunli bangla len tih unim nang aka hoeih sak ve‍.
14 Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.
Na tonghma rhoek loh nang ham a poeyoek neh a rhorhap ni a hmuh uh‍. Na thongtlak kawng dongah thongtla la na mael ham vaengah nang kah thaesainah te a phoe uh moenih. Nang ham a poeyoek neh vuelvaeknah olrhuh ni a hmuh‍.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth’?”
Longpuei kah aka cet boeih loh nang taengah kut a paeng uh tih kut a ving uh‍. Jerusalem nu nang taengah a lu a huen uh tih, “He khopuei tah Diklai pum kah omthennah sakthen rhuemtuet dae la nama?” a ti uh‍.
16 All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen it.”
Na thunkha boeih loh nang taengah a ka a ang uh tih hlip uh‍. No a tah uh tih‍, “‍N'dolh coeng‍, he khohnin he n'lamtawn bangla n'dang uh tih m'hmuh uh‍.
17 The LORD has done that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
A olthui neh aka mueluem kah a mangtaeng te BOEIPA loh a saii‍. Hlamat kum lamloh a uen te a koengloeng coeng‍. Tedae lungma ti pawt dongah na rhal kah ki te a pomsang tih thunkha loh nang soah ko a khah‍.
18 Their heart cried to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief. Do not let your eyes rest.
A lungbuei tah ka Boeipa taengah pang‍. Zion nu vongtung aw‍, mikphi te soklong bangla suntla saeh‍. Namah te khoyin khothaih ah hilsangnah khueh boeh‍. Na mik mikhlang khaw ngam sak boeh‍.
19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
Khoyin khoyin ah thoo lamtah tamhoe laeh‍. Hlaemhmah pukthung ah na lungbuei te ka Boeipa mikhmuh ah tui bangla bueih‍. Longpuei takuem kah longrhai ah khokha lamloh aka rhae na camoe rhoek kah hinglu ham khaw amah taengah na kut phuel lah‍.
20 “Look, LORD, and see to whom you have done thus! Should the women eat their offspring, the children that they held and bounced on their knees? Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
BOEIPA aw u taengah na poelyoe khaw so lamtah paelki‍. Huta loh amah thaihtae camoe hnatuem te ca tangkhuet saeh a‍? Ka Boeipa kah rhokso ah khosoih neh tonghma te ngawn saeh a‍?
21 “The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger. You have slaughtered, and not pitied.
Camoe patong loh tollong diklai dongah yalh uh‍. Ka oila rhoek neh ka tongpang rhoek khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh‍. Na thintoek hnin kah na ngawn tih lungma na ti kolla na ngawn‍.
22 “You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of the LORD’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
Tingtunnah khohnin bangla ka rhihnah te ka kaepvai ah na hueh‍. BOEIPA kah thintoek khohnin ah hlangyong neh hlangsueng om pawh‍. Ka poeh tih ka pom te ka thunkha loh a khah coeng‍.
