< Lamentations 2 >

1 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, [and] cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
In kasrkusrak lun Leum, El afinya Zion ke lohsr matoltol. El ekulla ma wo nukewa lun acn we nu ke ma na pilasr. Finne Tempul lal, El ngetla liki pac ke len in kasrkusrak lal.
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought [them] down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
Leum El kunausla siti srisrik nukewa in acn Judah, ac tiana pakomuta. El kunausya pot ku ma lisring acn we. El aklusrongtenye tokosrai sac ac mwet kol nukewa lun acn we.
3 He hath cut off in [his] fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, [which] devoureth round about.
In kasrkusrak lal El kunausya ku lun Israel; El tia lungse kasrekut ke mwet lokoalok elos tuku. El kasrkusrak lain kut oana sie e su esukak ma nukewa.
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all [that were] pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
El aksuwosye mwe pisr natul nu kacsr oana mwet lokoalok se; El onelosla nukewa su kut tuh lungse ac insewowokin meet. Inge in acn Jerusalem kut arulana pulakin usren kasrkusrak lal.
5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Leum El kunausla Israel oana sie mwet lokoalok; El oru tuh pot ku ac inkul fulat sin tokosra in arulana mwesri. El use nu fin mwet Judah mwe asor su wangin saflaiya.
6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if it were of] a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
El fukulya Tempul su kut alu nu sel we nu ke ip srisrik. El tulokinya in wanginla len mutal ac len Sabbath. Tokosra ac mwet tol elos kewa pulakin kuiyen kasrkusrak lal.
7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
Leum El ngetla liki loang in orek kisa lal, ac som liki Tempul mutal sel. El lela mwet lokoalok in ikruiya pot kac. Ke elos kutangla, elos sasa in acn ma kut tuh engan in alu we meet.
8 The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
LEUM GOD El otela mu pot Zion enenu na in ikori. El srikeya in kalem na pwaye lupan acn ma ac kunausyukla. Tower ac pot in kalkal uh tukeni na oan musalla.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes [are] among the Gentiles: the law [is] no [more; ] her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
Mutunpot kac pukpuki oan mokutkuti, ac osra kac uh kipatpat uh. Inge tokosra ac mwet leum uh kewa elos oasr in sruoh. Ma Sap uh tia sifil lutiyuk, ac wanginla aruruma lun mwet palu ma tuku sin LEUM GOD.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, [and] keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Mwet matu lun Jerusalem elos muta infohk uh tia kas. Kutkut oan fin sifalos ac elos nukum nuknuk yohk eoa. Mutan fusr elos srimi nwe infohk uh.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
Mutuk totola ke tung, ac insiuk keoklana. Nga foroti in asor luk ke mwet luk su kunausyukla. Tulik fusr ac tulik srisrik uh mulalla na oan fin inkanek in siti uh.
12 They say to their mothers, Where [is] corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
Elos tung nu sin nina kialos ke elos masrinsral ac malu; Elos ikor fin inkanek uh oana in fakfuki elos. Ac kuiyalos sriksrikeni nwe ke na elos misa inpoun nina kialos.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach [is] great like the sea: who can heal thee?
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem saok sik, mea nga ku in fahk? Nga ac akwoye kom fuka? Wangin mwet nu pulakin keok ouinge. Ongoiya nu sum inge yoklana, oana lupan meoa uh. Wanginna finsrak in sifil akwoyeyuk kom.
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
Wangin ma mwet palu lom tuh fahk nu sum sayen kikiap mukena. Kas in luti lalos nu sum kiapwekomla, mweyen elos tia fahkak ma koluk lom. Elos oru kom nunku mu kom tia enenu in auliyak.
15 All that pass by clap [their] hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, [saying, Is] this the city that [men] call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
Mwet ma fahsryak in siti uh ngetot liye kom ac srengak sum. Elos usruk sifalos ac isrun musalla lun Jerusalem, ac fahk, “Ku siti na kato sac pa inge? Ku pa inge wo se ma faclu yukin uh?”
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed [her] up: certainly this [is] the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen [it].
Mwet lokoalok lom nukewa aksruksrukye kom ac sracsralik liye kom ke srunga lalos. Elos sralak ngoasrolos ac fahk, “Kut kunausulla! Pa inge len se kut muta soano ah!”
17 The LORD hath done [that] which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused [thine] enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
LEUM GOD El tufahna orala ma se El tuh aksangengye kut fahk mu El ac oru ah; El kunauskutla ac wanginna pakomuta lal nu sesr, oana ke El tuh fahk nu sesr pacl loeloes somla ah. El sang kutangla nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr, ac akenganyalos ke kunausyukla kut uh.
18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
O Jerusalem, lela pot ku lom in wowoyak nu sin Leum! Lela sroninmotom in sororla oana infacl ke len ac fong. Oru nwe ke na kom mwemelilla ke tung ac asor.
19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
Lela kom in tukaki tukakyak ac pang nu sin Leum ke fong nufon se; Fahkak nufon ma oan in nunak lom an nu sel, ac kwafe sel Elan pakoten nu sin tulik nutum Su masrinsral ac apkuran in misa ke insruwasrik in inkanek nukewa!
20 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, [and] children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Ngetma, O LEUM GOD! Efu kom ku kalyei kut ange? Mutan elos kang monin tulik natulos su elos kuloi! Mwet tol ac mwet palu elos anwuki na in Tempul!
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain [them] in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, [and] not pitied.
Mwet fusr ac mwet matu uh kewa misa oan inkanek uh. Mukul fusr ac mutan fusr anwuki ke cutlass nutin mwet lokoalok. Kom onelosi ac tiana pakomutalos ke len in kasrkusrak lom.
22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD’s anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
Kom solama mwet lokoalok luk in tuh akpwaryalos ke mwe aksangeng rauniyula, Ac wangin mwet ku in kaingla ke len in kasrkusrak se lom uh. Elos akmuseya tulik nutik su nga tufahla ac kuloi.
