Lamentations 4
1 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.
Mano kaka dhahabu osewito berne, dhahabu maberie moloyo obedo marach! Kite maler okere e akerkeke mag yore duto.
2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
Mano kaka yawuot Sayun mabeyo, ma yande bergi ne romre gi pek mar dhahabu, tinde ipimo mana gi agulni mag lowo, ma en tich lwedo mar jachwe aguch lowo!
3 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.
Kata mana ondiegi chiwo thundegi mondo nyithindgi odhodhi, to joga osebedo jogo maonge chuny, gichalo udo manie thim.
4 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, [and] no man breaketh [it] unto them.
Nikech riyo oloyo nyathi madhoth mi koro lewe omoko e dande; kendo nyithindo kwayo chiemo, to onge ngʼama migi.
5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
Joma yande chamo chiemo mamit, koro gin jokwecho mojwangʼ e wangʼ yore; to jogo ma yande odak e ngima maber koro nindo e pidh yugi.
6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
Kum mar joga duongʼ moloyo mano mar Sodom, mane lochne okethi mapiyo piyo nono maonge ngʼama nobiro mondo okonye.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing [was] of sapphire:
Jotendgi ne ler marieny moloyo pe kendo rachar maloyo chak, dendgi ne pichni moloyo mo; kendo nenruok margi ne chalo gi kidi ma nengone tek.
8 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.
To koro gin rotenge moloyo oyare ma kata irom kodgi e wangʼ yore to ok nyal ngʼegi, nimar pien ringregi osejowore kuom chokegi; kendo osebedo motwo ka yien.
9 [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.
Joma notho e lweny ber moloyo jogo ma kech onego; kech chamogi ma gidhero nikech cham onge e puothe.
10 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Mon madhoth notedo nyithindgi giwegi, mobedo chiembgi ka joga ne inego itieko.
11 The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
Jehova Nyasaye oseolo mirimbe mangʼeny ka iye owangʼ. Osemoko mach Sayun moketho mise mage.
12 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
Ruodhi mag piny ne ok oyie, kata ji mag piny bende ne ok oyie, ni wasigu kod jolweny nyalo donjo e dhorangeye mag Jerusalem.
13 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,
To mano notimore nikech richo mag jonabi mage, kod kethruok mag jodolo mage mane ochwero remb joma kare.
14 They have wandered [as] blind [men] in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
Koro gidigni e wangʼ yore ka joma muofni. Gidwanyore gi remo maonge ngʼato madihedhre mulo lepgi.
15 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].
Ji ywak kagoyonegi koko niya, “Dhiuru kucha! Ok uler!” Mabor kucha, mabor kucha! Kik umulwa! Ka giringo giaa kendo gibayo abaya, ji mag ogendini wacho ni, “Ok ginyal dak kodwa kendo.”
16 The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
Jehova Nyasaye owuon osekeyogi e pinje; kendo koro ok odewgi. Jodolo ok yud duongʼ, kendo jodongo ok mi luor.
17 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation [that] could not save [us].
Kata kamano, wengewa nojony, ka warango gima dikonywa; to oganda mane wageno kuome ni nyalo konyowa ne ok nyal konyowa.
18 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
Ji ne manyowa kamoro amora mawaluwo, omiyo ne ok wanyal wuotho e wangʼ yorewa. Luoro nomakowa nikech ndalowa nosechopo machiegni kendo thowa ne osekayo.
19 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
Jogo mane lawowa ne ringo mapiyo maloyo ongo mafuyo e kor polo; negilawowa e kor gode madongo kendo negibutonwa e thim.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
Ngʼatno mowir mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane wakwano kaka ngimawa, nomaki e obadho mane gichiko. Ne waparo ni e bwo tipone wanyalo bedo mangima e dier ogendini.
21 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.
Moruru kendo beduru moil, yaye Nyar Edom, un jogo modak e piny Uz. To un bende, kikombeno ibiro miyou; kendo ubiro mer mi udongʼ duge.
22 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.
Yaye jo-Sayun, kum mane okumugo biro rumo; bende ok nochak omed ndalou mar twech. To un jo-Edom, obiro kumou nikech richou kendo timbeu mamono obiro elo e lela.
