< Lamentations 1 >

1 How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become tributary!
¡Cómo está asentada sola la ciudad antes populosa! la grande entre las naciones es vuelta como viuda: la señora de provincias es hecha tributaria.
2 She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her loved ones she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies.
Llorando llorará en la noche, y sus lágrimas en sus mejillas: no tiene quien la consuele de todos sus amadores: todos sus amigos le faltaron, volviéronsele enemigos.
3 Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction. And because of great servitude she dwells among the nations. She finds no rest. All her persecutors overtook her in the distress.
Judá pasó en cautividad a causa de la aflicción, y de la grandeza de servidumbre: ella moró entre las gentes, y no halló descanso: todos sus perseguidores la alcanzaron entre estrechuras.
4 The ways of Zion mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly. All her gates are desolate. Her priests sigh. Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
Las calzadas de Sión tienen luto, porque no hay quien venga a las solemnidades: todas sus puertas son asoladas: sus sacerdotes gimen, sus vírgenes afligidas, y ella tiene amargura.
5 Her adversaries have become the head. Her enemies prosper. For Jehovah has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her young sons have gone into captivity before the adversary.
Sus enemigos son hechos cabeza, sus aborrecedores fueron prosperados; porque Jehová la afligió por la multitud de sus rebeliones: sus niños fueron en cautividad delante del enemigo.
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed. Her rulers have become like harts that find no pasture. And they have gone without strength before the pursuer.
Fuése de la hija de Sión toda su hermosura: sus príncipes fueron como ciervos que no hallaron pasto; y anduvieron sin fortaleza delante del perseguidor.
7 Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none helped her, the adversaries saw her; they mocked at her desolations.
Jerusalem, cuando su pueblo cayó en la mano del enemigo, y no hubo quien le ayudase, entonces se acordó de los días de su aflicción, y de sus rebeliones, y de todas sus cosas deseables que tuvo desde los tiempos antiguos: miráronla los enemigos, y escarnecieron de sus sábados.
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned, therefore she has become as an unclean thing. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. Yea, she sighs, and turns backward.
Pecado pecó Jerusalem, por lo cual ella ha sido removida: todos los que antes la honraban, la menospreciaron, porque vieron su vergüenza: ella también suspira, y es vuelta atrás.
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts. She did not think of her latter end. Therefore she has come down astonishingly. She has no comforter. Behold, O Jehovah, my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself.
Sus inmundicias trajo en sus faldas, no se acordó de su postrimería: por tanto ella ha descendido maravillosamente, no tiene consolador. Mira, o! Jehová, mi aflicción, porque el enemigo se ha engrandecido.
10 The adversary has spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things. For she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom thou commanded that they should not enter into thine assembly.
Extendió su mano el enemigo a todas sus cosas preciosas; y ella vio a las gentes entrar en su santuario, de las cuales mandaste que no entrasen en tu congregación.
11 All her people sigh. They seek bread. They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul. See, O Jehovah, and, behold, for I have become abject.
Todo su pueblo buscó su pan suspirando, dieron por la comida todas sus cosas preciosas para refocilar el alma. Mira, o! Jehová, y ve, que soy tornada vil.
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye who pass by? Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought upon me. Therewith Jehovah has afflicted in the day of his fierce anger.
No os sea molesto todos los que pasáis por el camino, mirád, y ved, si hay dolor como mi dolor, que me ha venido; porque Jehová me ha angustiado en el día de la ira de su furor.
13 From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet. He has turned me back. He has made me desolate and faint all the day.
Desde lo alto envió fuego en mis huesos, el cual se enseñoreó: extendió red a mis pies, tornóme atrás, púsome asolada, y entristecida todo el día.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand. They are knit together. They have come up upon my neck. He has made my strength to fail. The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
El yugo de mis rebeliones está ligado en su mano, entretejidas han subido sobre mi cerviz: ha hecho caer mis fuerzas: háme entregado el Señor en manos de donde no podré levantarme.
15 The Lord has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me. He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a winepress.
El Señor ha hollado todos mis fuertes en medio de mí: llamó contra mí compañía para quebrantar mis mancebos: lagar ha pisado el Señor a la virgen hija de Judá.
16 For these things I weep. My eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me. My sons are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.
Por esta causa yo lloro: mis ojos, mis ojos fluyen aguas; porque se alejó de mí consolador que dé reposo a mi alma: mis hijos son destruidos, porque el enemigo prevaleció.
17 Zion spreads forth her hands. There is none to comfort her. Jehovah has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are round about him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
Sión extendió sus manos, no tiene consolador: Jehová dio mandamiento contra Jacob, que sus enemigos le cercasen: Jerusalem fue en abominación entre ellos.
18 Jehovah is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
Jehová es justo, que yo contra su boca rebelé. Oíd ahora todos los pueblos, y ved mi dolor: mis vírgenes y mis mancebos fueron en cautividad.
19 I called for my loved ones, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city, while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
Di voces a mis amadores, mas ellos me han engañado: mis sacerdotes y mis ancianos, en la ciudad perecieron, buscando comida para sí con que entretener su vida.
20 Behold, O Jehovah, for I am in distress. My heart is troubled. My heart is turned within me. For I have grievously rebelled. Abroad the sword bereaves; at home there is as death.
Mira, o! Jehová, que estoy atribulada, mis entrañas rugen, mi corazón está trastornado en medio de mí; porque rebelé rebelando: de fuera me deshijó la espada, de dentro parece una muerte:
21 They have heard that I sigh. There is none to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble. They are glad that thou have done it. Thou will bring the day that thou have proclaimed, and they shall be like me.
Oyeron que gemía, y no hay consolador para mí: todos mis enemigos, oído mi mal, se holgaron, porque tú lo hiciste: trajiste el día que señalaste: mas serán como yo.
22 Let all their wickedness come before thee, and do to them, as thou have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
Entre delante de ti toda su maldad, y haz con ellos como hiciste conmigo por todas mis rebeliones; porque muchos son mis suspiros, y mi corazón está doloroso.
