Lamentations 1
1 How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave!
Mano kaka dala maduongʼ mane ji ngʼenyie odongʼ nono! Kinde moro ne en dala malich miwuoro to koro ochalo gi dhako ma chwore otho! Ne en ruoth madhako e kind pinje, to tinde osebedo misumba.
2 She weeps bitterly in the night. Her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her. They have become her enemies.
Oywak malit gotieno, pi wangʼe ridore e lembe. Kuom joherane duto, onge moro manyalo hoye. Osiepene duto osendhoge kendo gisebedo jowasike.
3 Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction and because of great servitude. She dwells among the nations. She finds no rest. All her persecutors overtook her in her distress.
Bangʼ sand gi tij achuna, Juda oseter e twech. Odak e dier ogendini kendo oonge kar yweyo. Jogo duto malawe osemake kapod en e chandruok malich.
4 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.
Yore madhiyo Sayun ywagore, nimar onge ngʼato mabiro e nyasi mag sewni moyier. Dhorangeye duto odongʼ nono maonge ji, jodologe ywak ka chur, jotichge ma nyiri okuyo, to en owuon en gi lit malich.
5 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.
Wasike ema tinde otelone, kendo wasikego dhi maber. Jehova Nyasaye osekelone chandruok nikech richone mangʼeny. Nyithinde oseter e twech, kendo gisebedo kaka joma omaki e nyim wasigu.
6 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.
Duongʼ mar loch duto mane nyar Sayun nigo oserumo. Jodonge chalo gi mwanda modenyo ma ok yud lum machamo, giringo ka gionge gi teko e nyim joma lawogi.
7 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.
E ndalo mane Jerusalem ni e chandruok kod chuny lit, noparo mwandune duto mane en-go e ndalo machon. Wasike nojare kendo onyiero kuom thagruok mage.
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned. Therefore she has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. Yes, she sighs and turns backward.
Jerusalem osetimo richo madongo omiyo koro osebedo mochido. Ji duto mane omiye luor koro ochaye, nimar giseneno duge; kendo koro oywak kochur nikech wiye kuot.
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts. She did not remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, LORD, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.”
Chilo ma en-go omienore e lepe, ne ok odewo gima biro timorene bangʼe. Nopodho malich miwuoro, to onge ngʼama ne nyalo hoye. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, neye chandruok ma an-go, nimar wasigu oseloyo.
10 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.
Wasigu oseyako mwandune duto; oseneno ogendini ma jopiny ka donjoe kare maler mar lemo, jogo misekwero ni kik donji e kari maler mar lemo.
11 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.”
Joge duto chur kaywagore ka gimanyo chiemo; giloko mwandugi mondo giyud chiemo, mondo gibed mangima. “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, neye kendo iparae, nimar ji ochaya.”
12 “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.
Un ji duto makadho, onge lich muneno kuom gima timorenani? Lokreuru anena mondo unee, ka bende nitiere masira machielo machalo gi masira moyudani, ma Jehova Nyasaye oseketo kuoma e odiechiengʼ mar mirimbe mager?
13 “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.
Ne ooro mach koa e polo, modonjo e chokena. Nochiko obadho momako tiendena kendo nodwoka chien. Nomiya abedo modhier kadongʼ kenda ka aol maonge teko odiechiengʼ duto.
14 “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.
Richona osetwe e ngʼuta ka jok; adier osetweyogi gi lwete owuon. Oseketgi e ngʼuta kendo Ruoth Nyasaye osetieko tekra, bende osejwangʼa e lwet joma ok anyal loyo.
15 “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.
“Ruoth Nyasaye osekwedo jolweny maga duto; osechoko jolweny mondo omonja, kendo otiek yawuota ma jolweny. Ruoth Nyasaye osekumo nyar Juda mapok ongʼeyo chwo e kare mar biyo olemb mzabibu.
16 “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.”
“Ma emomiyo aywak kendo pi wangʼa mol e lemba. Onge ngʼat machiegni koda ma dihoya, bende onge ngʼat ma dikwe chunya. Nyithinda odongʼ kiye nikech wasigu oselocho.”
17 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 among them as an unclean thing.
Sayun tingʼo bedene malo kaywak, to onge ngʼama nyalo hoye. Jehova Nyasaye oseketo chik ni Jakobo, ni jogo modak bute, mondo obed wasike; Jerusalem osebedo gima ochido e diergi.
18 “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.
Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye makare, to kata kamano ne angʼanyo ne chikene. Winjuru, un ji duto; kendo neeuru kaka achandora. Yawuota gi nyiga osemaki moter e twech.
19 “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.
Ne aluongo osiepena, to ne gindhoga. Jodolo maga gi jodonga notho e dala maduongʼ, kane gimanyo chiemo mondo gibed mangima.
20 “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.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nee kaka anie chandruok malich! Iya nyawni, kendo chunya chandore malich, nikech ok aseluoro chikeni. Lweny nego ji oko mar dala to ei dala bende tho nekoe.
21 “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.
Ji osewinjo ywakna, to onge ngʼama dewa. Wasika duto osewinjo chandruokna; kendo gimor kuom gik ma isetimona. Mad ikel odiechiengʼ mane iselando mondo omi gichal koda.
22 “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.
We mondo timbegi mamono ochop e nyimi; kendo timnegi, mana kaka isetimona kuom richona duto. An gi pek mangʼeny kendo chunya onyosore.
