¹Huailouin leng Israel heutute tungtangah sunna la phuah ahi:

¹Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

²Na nu bang ahia a hih? humpinelkaipi ahi; humpinelkaite lakah a kuala, humpinelkai lunlaite lakah a noute a vaklian a.

²And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

³Huan a noute lakah khat a vakteia; humpinelkai lunlai a honghi: huan samat a siama, mite a gai.

³And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

⁴Namten leng tanchin a ja ua: a kokhuk uah matin aom: huan Aigupta gamah sikkawiin amah a pi ua.

⁴The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

⁵Huchiin a ngaka, a lametna a vuaksuak chih a theihin, a noute lakah a dang khat a la a, humpinelkai lunlaiin a bawl hi.

⁵Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.

⁶Huan humpinelkai lakah a pai touin a pai suk a, humpinelkai lunlai a honghi: huan samat a siama, mite a gai hi.

⁶And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.

⁷Huan a innpite uh a theia, a khopite uh a hihgawpa; huan gam tuh a segawpa, a humham husa jiakin, huaia tengteng.

⁷And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.

⁸Huchiin bialte akipanin ning chiha namten amah a dou ua: huan a tungah len uh a jak ua; a kokhuk uah matin a omta hi.

⁸Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.

⁹Huan sikkawitein bawm sungah amah a koih ua; Babulon kumpipa kiangah a pi ua; kulh muanhuaite sungah a pi lut ua, huchia Israel tangsangte tunga a aw a kijak nawn louhna dingin.

⁹And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

¹⁰Na nu grepgui bang a ahi, na sisana, tuite kianga suan: tui tampite jiakin gahthei leh hiangtein a dim.

¹⁰Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

¹¹Huan vaihawmna pote lalchiang sikchiang khauh a nein, huan nahbawk pha lakah a sandan uh hihsangin a om hi, huchiin ahiang tampite u toh sangpia muhin a om uhi.

¹¹And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.

¹²Himahleh thangpaihna a bohkhiakin a oma, leia paihin a oma, suahlam huihin a gah a mut keu: a kung khaukte a kitana, a keu; meiin a maute a kang beita.

¹²But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

¹³Huan tuin gamdai ah, gam keu leh tui om lou ah phuh in a om,Huchiin ahianga sikchiangtea kipan mei a pai khia, a gah a hulbeia, huchiin amahah vaihawm dingin lalchiang ding sikchiang khauh a om kei hi. Hiai kahla ahi, kahla ading ahi ding hi.

¹³And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

¹⁴Huchiin ahianga sikchiangtea kipan mei a pai khia, a gah a hulbeia, huchiin amahah vaihawm dingin lalchiang ding sikchiang khauh a om kei hi. Hiai kahla ahi, kahla ading ahi ding hi.

¹⁴And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
