KLV - Lamentations - 4

4:1  chay' ghaH the SuD baS moj dim! chay' ghaH the HochHom pure SuD baS changed! The naghmey vo' the Daq QaD 'oH poured pa' Daq the nach vo' Hoch street.

4:2  The precious puqloDpu' vo' Zion, comparable Daq fine SuD baS, chay' 'oH chaH esteemed as earthen pitchers, the vum vo' the ghopmey vo' the potter!

4:3  'ach the jackals draw pa' the breast, chaH nurse chaj Qup ones: The puqbe' vo' wIj ghotpu ghajtaH moj cruel, rur the ostriches Daq the ngem.

4:4  The jat vo' the sucking puq cleaves Daq the roof vo' Daj nujDu' vaD thirst: The Qup puqpu' tlhob tIr Soj, je ghobe' loD breaks 'oH Daq chaH.

4:5  chaH 'Iv ta'ta' feed delicately 'oH moB Daq the streets: chaH 'Iv were qempu' Dung Daq Doq embrace dunghills.

4:6  vaD the He'taHghach vo' the puqbe' vo' wIj ghotpu ghaH greater than the yem vo' Sodom, vetlh ghaHta' lujqu'pu' as Daq a moment, je ghobe' ghopmey were laid Daq Daj.

4:7  Daj nobles were purer than chuchHommey, chaH were whiter than milk; chaH were latlh ruddy Daq porgh than rubies, chaj polishing ghaHta' as vo' sapphire.

4:8  chaj visage ghaH blacker than a coal; chaH 'oH ghobe' Sovta' Daq the streets: chaj Dir cleaves Daq chaj HomDu'; 'oH ghaH withered, 'oH ghaH moj rur a stick.

4:9  chaH 'Iv 'oH HoHta' tlhej the 'etlh 'oH better than chaH 'Iv 'oH HoHta' tlhej hunger; vaD Dochvammey pine DoH, mup vegh, vaD want vo' the fruits vo' the yotlh.

4:10  The ghopmey vo' the pitiful be'pu' ghaj boiled chaj ghaj puqpu'; chaH were chaj Soj Daq the QIH vo' the puqbe' vo' wIj ghotpu.

4:11  joH'a' ghajtaH accomplished Daj QeHpu', ghaH ghajtaH poured pa' Daj fierce QeH; ghaH ghajtaH kindled a qul Daq Zion, nuq ghajtaH Soppu' its foundations.

4:12  The joHpu' vo' the tera' ta'be' Har, ghobe' Hoch the nganpu' vo' the qo', vetlh the jagh je the jagh would 'el Daq the lojmItmey vo' Jerusalem.

4:13  'oH ghaH because vo' the yemmey vo' Daj leghwI'pu', je the iniquities vo' Daj lalDan vumwI'pu', vetlh ghaj shed the 'Iw vo' the just Daq the midst vo' Daj.

4:14  chaH wander as blind loDpu' Daq the streets, chaH 'oH polluted tlhej 'Iw, vaj vetlh loDpu' ta'laHbe' touch chaj garments.

4:15  mej! chaH SaQta' Daq chaH, Say'Ha'! mej, mej, yImev touch! ghorgh chaH Haw'ta' DoH je wandered, loDpu' ja'ta' among the tuqpu', chaH DIchDaq ghobe' latlh sojourn naDev.

4:16  The QeH vo' joH'a' ghajtaH scattered chaH; ghaH DichDaq ghobe' latlh regard chaH: chaH ta'be' respect the persons vo' the lalDan vumwI'pu', chaH ta'be' favor the quppu'.

4:17  maj mInDu' ta' yet fail Daq leghtaH vaD maj lI'be' QaH: Daq maj watching maH ghaj watched vaD a Hatlh vetlh laH ghobe' toD.

4:18  chaH hunt maj steps, vaj vetlh maH ta'laHbe' jaH Daq maj streets: maj pItlh ghaH Sum, maj jajmey 'oH fulfilled; vaD maj pItlh ghaH ghoS.

4:19  maj pursuers were swifter than the eagles vo' the sky: chaH chased maH Daq the Hudmey, chaH laid loS vaD maH Daq the ngem.

4:20  The breath vo' maj nostrils, the ngoHta' vo' joH'a', ghaHta' tlhappu' Daq chaj pits; vo' 'Iv maH ja'ta', bIng Daj QIb maH DIchDaq yIn among the tuqpu'.

4:21  yItIv je taH Quchqu', puqbe' vo' Edom, vetlh yIn Daq the puH vo' Uz: The HIvje' DIchDaq juS vegh Daq SoH je; SoH DIchDaq taH drunken, je DIchDaq chenmoH SoH'egh naked.

4:22  The punishment vo' lIj He'taHghach ghaH accomplished, puqbe' vo' Zion; ghaH DichDaq ghobe' latlh carry SoH DoH Daq captivity: ghaH DichDaq visit lIj He'taHghach, puqbe' vo' Edom; ghaH DichDaq uncover lIj yemmey.
