Плач Еремиев 1
1 Как седи усамотен градът, който е бил многолюден! Стана като вдовица великата между народите столица! Оная, която беше княгиня между областите, стана поданица!
Jerusalem was [once] full of people, but now it is deserted. [Once] it was honored by people all over the world, but now it is [grieving/abandoned] like [SIM] a widow. [Once] it was [honored like] [MET] a princess [is honored] among the nations, but now [we who live here] have become slaves.
2 Непрестанно плаче нощем, и сълзите й са по бузите й; Между всичките й любовници няма кой да я утешава; Всичките й приятели й изневериха; станаха й неприятели.
We [PRS] weep bitterly [all] night long, with tears flowing down our cheeks. Among [the people in] all [the nations] that loved Jerusalem there are none that comfort us [now]. All [the rulers of those nations that were previously] our allies have betrayed us, and they are all now enemies [of the people of Jerusalem].
3 Юда отиде в плен от притеснение и тежко робуване; Живее между езичниците, не намира покой; Всичките му гонители стигнаха го всред теснините му.
[The people of] Judah have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries) and caused to suffer greatly as slaves. They live in [other] nations where they do not have peace/safety. Their enemies seized them, and there was no way for them to escape.
4 Тъжат сионските пътници, защото никой не иде на определените празници; Всичките му порти са пусти; свещениците му въздишат; Девиците му са наскърбени; и сам той е в горест.
The roads to Zion [Hill] are empty [PRS] because no one comes [here] to [celebrate] the sacred festivals. The city gates are deserted, and the priests groan. The young women [of Jerusalem] cry [because] they are suffering greatly.
5 Противниците му взеха връх; неприятелите му благоденствуват; Защото Господ го наскърби поради многото му беззакония; Младенците му отидоха в плен пред противника.
Our enemies have conquered the city, and [now] they prosper. Yahweh has punished [the people of] Jerusalem because of all the sins that they have committed. The children [of Jerusalem] have been captured and taken [to other countries].
6 И изгуби се от Сионовата дъщеря всичкото й великолепие; Първенците й станаха като елени, които не намират пасбище, И отиват безсилни пред гонещия ги.
Jerusalem was a beautiful city, but it is not beautiful now. The leaders [of the city] are like [SIM] deer that are starving because of being unable to find any grass [to eat]. They are very weak, with the result that they are unable to run from their enemies.
7 В дните на скръбта си и на скитанията си Ерусалим си спомни Всичките желателни неща, които имаше от древни времена, Сега, когато са паднали людете му в ръката на противника, и никой не му помага; Противниците го видяха, засмяха се поради опустошението му.
[The people of] Jerusalem are sad and scattered, and they think about the previous greatness of the city. [But now] our enemies have captured the city, and there is no one to help the people. Our enemies destroyed the city and laughed while they were doing that.
8 Тежко съгреши Ерусалимската дъщеря, Затова се отмахна като нечисто нещо; Всички, които бяха я почитали, презряха я, защото видяха голотата й; А тя въздиша и обръща гърба си.
[The people of] [PRS] Jerusalem have sinned very much; [it is as though] [MET] the city has become [like] a filthy [rag]. All those who [previously] honored the city [now] despise it, because they see that it has become very disgraced [MET]. Now [the people of] the city groan, and they cover their faces [because they are very ashamed].
9 Нечистотата й беше в полите й; не бе помислила за сетнината си! Затова, чудно се е смирила; няма кой да я утешава; Виж, Господи, скръбта ми, вика тя, защото неприятелят се възвеличи!
The city has become filthy because of [PRS] the sins that the people have committed; they did not think about what could happen to the city. [Now] the city has been destroyed, and there is no one to comfort [the people]. [The people cry out saying], “Yahweh, look at how we are suffering because our enemies have defeated us!”
10 Противникът е прострял ръката си върху всичките й желателни неща; Защото тя видя, че в светилището й влязоха езичниците, За които си заповядал да не влизат в Твоето събрание.
Our enemies have taken away all our treasures, all the valuable things that we owned. We have seen [soldiers from other] nations, [men who do not worship Yahweh], enter our sacred temple, [the place] where foreigners/non-Israelis were (forbidden/not allowed) to enter.
11 Всичките й люде въздишат и искат хляб; Дадоха желателните си неща за храна, за да се възобнови животът им; Виж, Господи и погледни; защото станах унижена.
The people of the city groan while they search for food; they have given their treasures to get food [to eat] to remain alive. [They say], “Yahweh, look [at us], and see that we are despised!”
12 Немарите ли, всички вие, които заминавате по пътя? Погледнете и вижте, има ли страдание като страданието, което падна на мене, Когото Господ оскърби в деня на пламенния Си гняв.
You people who pass by, you do not [RHQ] seem to care at all [about what has happened to us]. Look around and see that there are no other [RHQ] people who are suffering like we are. Yahweh has caused us to suffer because he was extremely angry [with us].
13 От свише Той прати огън в костите ми, който ги облада; Простря примка за нозете ми; върна ме назад; Направи ме пуста и слаба цял ден.
[It is as though] he sent a fire from heaven [MTY] that burned in our bones; [it is as though] [MET] he has placed a trap for our feet, and has prevented us from walking any further. He has abandoned us; we are weak/miserable [every day], all day long.
14 Нечестията ми бидоха стегнати върху мене като хомот от ръката Му; Те се сплетоха, стигнаха до врата ми; Той направи да намалее силата ми; Господ ме предаде в ръцете на ония, срещу които не мога да стоя.
He caused the sins that we have committed to be [like] a heavy load for us to carry; [it is as though] [MET] he tied them around our necks. Previously we were strong, but he has caused us to become weak. He has allowed our enemies to capture us, and we were not able to do anything to resist them.
15 Господ презря всичките силни мъже всред мене; Свика против мене събор, за да смаже младежите ми; Господ стъпка като в лин девицата, Юдовата дъщеря.
Yahweh looked at our mighty soldiers and laughed at them. He has summoned a great army to [come and] crush our young soldiers. [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has trampled on [us] people of Judah like [SIM] [people trample] on grapes in a pit [to make wine].
16 Затова аз плача; окото ми, окото ми излива вода, Защото се отдалечи от мене утешителят, който би възобновил живота ми; Чадата ми погинаха, защото надделя неприятелят.
I weep because of [all] those things; my eyes are filled with tears. There is no one to comfort me; those who could encourage me are far away. Our enemies have conquered [us], so our children have nothing good to (hope for/expect to happen).
17 Сион простира ръцете си, но няма кой да го утеши; Господ заповяда за Якова, щото окръжаващите го да му станат противници; Ерусалим стана между тях като нечисто нещо.
[We people of] [PRS] Jerusalem reach out our hands [to get help], but there is no one to comfort us. Yahweh has decided concerning [us descendants of] Jacob that the people in nearby nations will become our enemies; so they consider that Jerusalem has become [like] [MET] a filthy rag.
18 Праведен е Господ, защото въстанах против заповедите Му; Слушайте, моля, всички племена, и вижте скръбта ми; Девиците ми и младежите ми отидоха в плен.
But what Yahweh has done [to us] is fair, because we have rebelled against obeying the commands that he gave [us]. You people everywhere, listen [to us]; [look and] see that we are suffering [greatly]. We had [many] sons and daughters, but they have been captured and forced to go to distant countries.
19 Повиках любовниците си, но те ме излъгаха; Свещениците ми и старейшините ми издъхнаха в града, Когато си търсеха храна, за да се възобнови животът им.
We pleaded with our allies [to help us], but they [all] refused. Our priests and our leaders have died [from hunger] in the city while they were searching for food [to eat] to remain alive.
20 Виж, Господи, защото съм в утеснение; червата ми се смущават; Сърцето ми от дън се свива, защото зле се разбунтувах против тебе; Навън обезчади нож; у дома като че ли смърт владее.
Yahweh, see that we are suffering very much. [It is as though] our inner beings are tormented. We are sad [SYN] because we have rebelled [against you]. Our enemies kill people in the streets with their swords; people are dying [because they have no food to eat].
21 Чуха, че съм въздишала; няма кой да ме утеши; Всичките ми неприятели чуха за злощастието ми, и се радваха, че си сторил това; Обаче, Ти ще докараш възгласения от Тебе ден, когато и те ще станат като мене.
People have heard us while we groaned, but no one [came to] comfort us. [Yahweh, ] you caused us to experience this [disaster], and our enemies are happy to see what you have done [to us]. But cause it soon to be the time that you have promised, when our enemies will suffer like we have suffered!
22 Нека дойде пред Тебе всичкото им нечестие; И стори на тях както стори на мене поради всичките ми престъпления; Защото много са въздишките ми, и сърцето ми чезне.
[Yahweh, ] see all the evil things that they have done and punish them! [Punish them] like you have punished us for all the sins that we committed! [We say this to you] because we suffer and groan very much, and we (faint/are very sad).
