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 a slave!
Tala ndenge nini engumba oyo, na kala, ezalaki na bato ebele penza, etikali lisusu na bato te! Tala ndenge nini engumba oyo ezalaki na lokumu kati na bikolo ekomi lelo lokola mwasi akufisa mobali; oyo ezalaki engumba mokonzi ekomi lelo na bowumbu!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night. Her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her. They have become her enemies.
Butu mobimba, azali kolela se kolela, mpinzoli etondi na matama na ye. Kati na bamakangu na ye nyonso, moko te ayei kobondisa ye; baninga na ye nyonso bakosi ye, bakomi banguna na ye.
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 her distress.
Yuda akei na bowumbu, akomi konyokwama mpe kosala misala makasi; azali kovanda kati na bikolo, azali lisusu na esika ya kopema te. Bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda ye, bakangi ye kati na pasi makasi.
4 The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to the solemn assembly. All her gates are desolate. Her priests sigh. Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
Nzela oyo ekenda kino na Siona ezali na matanga, pamba te bato bazali koya lisusu na bafeti te. Bikuke na ye nyonso etikali lisusu na bato te, Banganga-Nzambe na ye bazali kolela, bana na ye ya basi oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te bazali na mawa; bongo ye moko akomi na pasi makasi kati na motema.
5 Her adversaries have become the head. Her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
Banguna na ye bakomi bakonzi na ye, bayini na ye bazali na esengo; pamba te Yawe atindeli Siona pasi likolo ya ebele ya masumu na ye. Bana na ye ya mibali bakei na bowumbu, bakangi bango mpe bazali kotambola liboso ya monguna na ye.
6 All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion. Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture. They have gone without strength before the pursuer.
Lokumu nyonso ya Siona, mboka kitoko, esili; bakambi na ye bakomi lokola mboloko oyo ezangi matiti ya kolia, mpe bazali kokima, makasi na bango esili liboso ya moto oyo azali kolanda bango.
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 no one helped her. The adversaries saw her. They mocked at her desolations.
Na mikolo na ye ya pasi mpe ya koyengayenga, tango bato na ye bazali kokweya na maboko ya banguna mpe moto akosunga ye azali te, Yelusalemi azali kokanisa bomengo na ye nyonso ya kala; bayini na ye batali ye na pamba mpe basepeli na kobebisama na ye.
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned. Therefore she has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. Yes, she sighs and turns backward.
Yelusalemi asali masumu mingi penza, yango wana akomi mbindo. Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kopesa ye lokumu bakomi kotiola ye, pamba te bamoni bolumbu na ye; ye moko mpe azali komilela mpe abaluki mpo na kobomba elongi.
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts. She did not remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, LORD, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.”
Mbindo na ye ekangami ye na elamba, ayebaki te makambo nini ekokomela ye na sima. Tala ye wana akweyi, bongo kokweya na ye ezali kokamwisa; moto oyo akolendisa ye azali te! « Oh Yawe, tala pasi na ngai, pamba te monguna alongi ngai! »
10 The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things; for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
Monguna asemboli loboko na ye likolo ya bomengo nyonso ya Yelusalemi, bongo azali komona bikolo ya bapaya kokota na esika na ye ya bule, bikolo oyo Yo opekisaki kokota kati na lisanga na Yo.
11 All her people sigh. They seek bread. They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul. “Look, LORD, and see, for I have become despised.”
Bato na ye nyonso bazali kolela lokola bato bazali koluka bilei; bapesaki bomengo na bango mpo na kozwa bilei, mpo ete bawumela na bomoi. Oh Yawe, tala mpe mona ndenge natiolami!
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, with which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
Bino bato nyonso oyo bolekelaka wana; boni, ezali kosala bino eloko moko te? Botala malamu zingazinga na bino, ezali na pasi lokola pasi oyo ekomeli ngai? Yawe atindeli ngai yango na mokolo ya kanda makasi na Ye.
13 “From on high has he 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 I faint all day long.
Wuta na likolo, atindeli ngai moto, akitiseli ngai yango kino na mikuwa; atieli ngai motambo na makolo mpe akweyisi ngai; akomisi ngai eloko ya pamba, akotisi ngai na mawa ya mokolo na mokolo.
14 “The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand. They are knit together. They have come up on my neck. He made my strength fail. The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
Maboko na Ye ekangi masumu na ngai ndenge bakangaka ekangiseli; masumu yango emati ngai kino na kingo, mpe Nkolo asilisi makasi na ngai, akabi ngai na maboko ya bato oyo nazali na makoki ya kotelemela te.
15 “The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men within 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 wine press.
Yawe asundoli bilombe nyonso ya bitumba oyo bazalaki na milongo na ngai; abengi mampinga ya bapaya mpo ete baya koboma bilenge mibali na ngai. Nkolo akamoli Yuda, mboka kitoko, na ekamolelo na Ye ya vino.
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 children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.”
Tala tina nini nazali kolela mpe miso na ngai etondi na mpinzoli; moto moko te ayei pene na ngai mpo na kobondisa ngai, moto moko te ayei kolendisa molimo na ngai. Bana na ngai bazali na pasi, mpo ete monguna aleki ngai na makasi.
17 Zion spreads out her hands. There is no one to comfort her. The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
Siona atomboli maboko na ye, kasi moto oyo akobondisa ye azali te. Yawe azwi mokano mpo na Jakobi ete bazalani na ye bakokoma banguna na ye, mpe ete Yelusalemi akokoma eloko ya mbindo na miso na bango.
18 “The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
Yawe azali sembo; nzokande, ezali ngai nde natombokelaki mitindo na Ye. Boyoka, bino bikolo nyonso, mpe botala pasi na ngai! Bana na ngai ya basi mpe ya mibali bakei na bowumbu.
19 “I called for my lovers, 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.
Nabengisaki baninga na ngai, kasi bakosaki ngai. Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi na ngai bakufaki kati na engumba tango bazalaki koluka bilei mpo ete bawumela na bomoi.
20 “Look, LORD; for I am in distress. My heart is troubled. My heart turns over within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad, the sword bereaves. At home, it is like death.
Oh Yawe, tala ndenge nazali na pasi: libumu na ngai ezali kotungisama, mpe motema na ngai ezali kosala pasi, pamba te nazalaki motomboki penza. Na libanda, mopanga ezali koboma bana na ngai; mpe na kati, ezali kaka kufa.
21 “They have heard that I sigh. There is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble. They are glad that you have done it. You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they will be like me.
Bato bayokaki na bango kolela na ngai, kasi moto akobondisa ngai azali te; banguna na ngai nyonso bayokaki sango ya pasi na ngai mpe basepelaki na makambo oyo osalaki. Tika ete okokisa solo mokolo oyo olakaki, mpo ete bango mpe bakoma lokola ngai!
22 “Let all their wickedness come before you. Do to them as you have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
Tika ete mabe na bango nyonso eya liboso na Yo; sala bango ndenge osalaki ngai mpo na masumu nyonso oyo nasalaki! Kolela na ngai ezali mingi mpe motema na ngai etondi na pasi!
