1 Mano kaka dhahabu osewito berne, dhahabu maberie moloyo obedo marach! Kite maler okere e akerkeke mag yore duto.
2 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 Kata mana ondiegi chiwo thundegi mondo nyithindgi odhodhi, to joga osebedo jogo maonge chuny, gichalo udo manie thim.
4 Nikech riyo oloyo nyathi madhoth mi koro lewe omoko e dande; kendo nyithindo kwayo chiemo, to onge ngʼama migi.
5 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 Kum mar joga duongʼ moloyo mano mar Sodom, mane lochne okethi mapiyo piyo nono maonge ngʼama nobiro mondo okonye.
7 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 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 Joma notho e lweny ber moloyo jogo ma kech onego; kech chamogi ma gidhero nikech cham onge e puothe.
10 Mon madhoth notedo nyithindgi giwegi, mobedo chiembgi ka joga ne inego itieko.
11 Jehova Nyasaye oseolo mirimbe mangʼeny ka iye owangʼ. Osemoko mach Sayun moketho mise mage.
12 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 To mano notimore nikech richo mag jonabi mage, kod kethruok mag jodolo mage mane ochwero remb joma kare.
14 Koro gidigni e wangʼ yore ka joma muofni. Gidwanyore gi remo maonge ngʼato madihedhre mulo lepgi.
15 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 Jehova Nyasaye owuon osekeyogi e pinje; kendo koro ok odewgi. Jodolo ok yud duongʼ, kendo jodongo ok mi luor.
17 Kata kamano, wengewa nojony, ka warango gima dikonywa; to oganda mane wageno kuome ni nyalo konyowa ne ok nyal konyowa.
18 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 Jogo mane lawowa ne ringo mapiyo maloyo ongo mafuyo e kor polo; negilawowa e kor gode madongo kendo negibutonwa e thim.
20 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 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 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.

What the Early Church wrote about Lamentations 4 (4)

    Irenaeus (3rd century) on Lamentations 4:20

  • “Jeremiah says, “Under his shadow we shall live among the Gentiles.” You see, then, how the prophet, moved by the Holy Spirit, says that life is afforded to the Gentiles by the shadow of Christ;”
