Lamentations 4
1 Aleph. How is the gold become dim, the finest colour is changed, the stones of the sanctuary are scattered in the top of every street?
Gold saromrom lasr arulana ohkla; Eot ke Tempul oalik na inkanek uh.
2 Beth. The noble sons of Sion, and they that were clothed with the best gold: how are they esteemed as earthen vessels, the work of the potter’s hands?
Mukul fusr lun Zion elos tuh saok sesr oana gold, A inge pilesreyuk elos oana tup ma orek ke fohk kle.
3 Ghimel. Even the sea monsters have drawn out the breast, they have given suck to their young: the daughter of my people is cruel, like the ostrich in the desert.
Finne kientop in wolf soko el ac katitii ma fusr natul, Tusruktu mwet luk elos sulallal nu sin ma fusr natulos, oana won ostrich uh.
4 Daleth. The tongue of the sucking child hath stuck to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the little ones have asked for bread, and there was none to break it unto them.
Elos fuhlela tulik fusr natulos in misa ke masrinsral ac malu; Tulik uh ngusr mwe mongo, a wangin mwet ac sang nu selos.
5 He. They that were fed delicately have died in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet have embraced the dung.
Mwet ma kang mwe mongo na yuyu meet elos misa fin inkanek uh ke masrinsral; Elos su tohfla in kasrup la elos iluhsya pus uh in sukok mwe mongo.
6 Vau. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people is made greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and hands took nothing in her.
Mwet luk elos kalyeiyuk upa liki na mwet ma tuh muta Sodom, Su sun ongoiya ke God El tuh kunausla acn we ke kitin pacl na srisrik.
7 Zain. Her Nazarites were whiter than snow, purer than milk, more ruddy than the old ivory, fairer than the sapphire.
Fisrak natusr elos tuh tiana akfohkfokyeyukla, ac elos nasnas oana snow; Wasri ac ku, saromrom finsroalos ke kuiyen manolos.
8 Heth. Their face is now made blacker than coals, and they are not known in the streets: their skin hath stuck to their bones, it is withered, and is become like wood.
Inge elos misa oan ke inkanek uh, tia akilenyuk elos ke sripen sroalsroalla mutalos. Kolo kaclos pulamlamla oana sak, ac arosrosak oan fin sri kaclos.
9 Teth. It was better with them that were slain by the sword, than with them that died with hunger: for these pined away being consumed for want of the fruits of the earth.
Wo nu selos su anwuki ke mweun liki elos su misa tok, Su wangin mwe mongo in sruokya moul lalos, pwanang elso misa ke masrinsral.
10 Jod. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Ongoiya se ma sun mwet luk inge oru sie mwe aksangeng na lulap; Nina ma saokkin tulik natulos, elos poeleak tulik natulos sifacna mwe mongo.
11 Caph. The Lord hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger: and he hath kindled a fire in Sion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
LEUM GOD El okoama nufon fulen kasrkusrak lal; El akosak sie e in Zion su esukak acn we nwe ke mwesri oan infohk uh.
12 Lamed. The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not have believed, that the adversary and the enemy should enter in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Wangin sie mwet in kutena acn, finne mwet leum lun mutunfacl saya, Tuh lulalfongi mu oasr mwet mweun ku in utyak ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem.
13 Mem. 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.
Tusruktu ma inge sikyak, mweyen mwet palu we elos orekma koluk, ac mwet tol uh oasr mwatalos Ke elos pwanang misa lun mwet wangin mwata.
14 Nun. They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they were defiled with blood: and when they could not help walking in it, they held up their skirts.
Mwet kol lun acn we elos foroht forma inkanek uh oana mwet kun. Elos arulana srahfon, oru wangin mwet lungse pusralulos.
15 Samech. Depart you that are defiled, they cried out to them: Depart, get ye hence, touch not: for they quarrelled, and being removed, they said among the Gentiles: He will no more dwell among them.
Mwet ah wowoyak ac fahk, “Tiok! Komtal fohkfok! Nimet pusralyu!” Ouinge elos takusrkusr som liki mutunfacl nu ke mutunfacl, a wangin mwet lohang nu selos.
16 Phe. The face of the Lord hath divided them, he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, neither had they pity on the ancient.
Wanginla nunak lun LEUM GOD kaclos; El sifacna luseloselik. Wangin nunak lal ke mwet tol ac mwet kol lasr.
17 Ain. While we were yet standing, our eyes failed, expecting help for us in vain, when we looked attentively towards a nation that was not able to save.
Kut sukok kasru nwe wanginla ku lasr in sifilpa suk, a wanginna kasru tuku nu sesr. Kut tupanna mu mutunfacl se ac tuku kasrekut, a tiana tuku.
18 Sade. Our steps have slipped in the way of our streets, our end draweth near: our days are fulfilled, for our end is come.
Mwet lokoalok lasr elos tawi kut; kut tiana ku in forfor innek uh. Len lasr uh safla; pacl safla lasr uh tuku tari.
19 Coph. Our persecutors were swifter than the eagles of the air: they pursued us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
Elos ukwekuti, mui liki ke eagle uh ac pwesrouli nu facsr lucng me uh. Elos lol acn kut fahsr we fin inging uh, ac kasriki kut ac sruokkuti in acn mwesis.
20 Res. The breath of our mouth, Christ the Lord, is taken in our sins: to whom we said: Under thy shadow we shall live among the Gentiles.
Elos sruokya kuiyen moul lasr, aok tokosra su LEUM GOD El sulela; El su kut tuh lulalfongi mu ac langoekut liki kutena mwet ma ac utyak in mweuni kut uh.
21 Sin. Rejoice, and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Hus: to thee also shall the cup come, thou shalt be made drunk, and naked.
Mwet Edom ac mwet Uz, kowos in israsr na; engan ke srak oasr pacl in engan lowos uh. Pacl in ongoiya lowos ac fah tuku pac; kowos ac fah koflufolla ac tukulkulwot tukulkulme ke mwekin.
22 Thau. Thy iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Sion, he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he visited thy iniquity, O daughter of Edom, he hath discovered thy sins. The Prayer of Jeremias the Prophet.
Zion el eis tari molin ma koluk lal; LEUM GOD El ac tia filikuti in sruoh nwe tok. Tusruktu mwet Edom, LEUM GOD El ac fah kai kowos; El ac fah akkalemyela orekma koluk lowos.
