Lamentations 2
1 How the Lord has covered the Daughter of Zion with the cloud of His anger! He has cast the glory of Israel from heaven to earth. He has abandoned His footstool in the day of His anger.
Tala ndenge nini Nkolo azipi Siona, mboka kitoko, na lipata ya kanda na Ye: akweyisi lokumu ya Isalaele, wuta na likolo kino na se; na mokolo ya kanda na Ye, abosanaki enyatelo makolo na Ye!
2 Without pity the Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob. In His wrath He has demolished the fortified cities of the Daughter of Judah. He brought to the ground and defiled her kingdom and its princes.
Na kozanga mawa, Nkolo abebisi bandako nyonso ya Jakobi; na kanda na Ye, akweyisi bandako batonga makasi ya Yuda, mwasi kitoko, mpe asambwisi bokonzi mpe bakambi na yango.
3 In fierce anger He has cut off every horn of Israel and withdrawn His right hand at the approach of the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire that consumes everything around it.
Na kanda makasi na Ye, abukaki Isalaele maseke nyonso, alongolaki loboko na Ye ya mobali na likolo na yango tango monguna na bango azalaki kopusana; apelisaki moto kati na mokili ya Jakobi lokola moto makasi oyo etumbaka biloko nyonso na bangambo na yango nyonso.
4 He has bent His bow like an enemy; His right hand is positioned. Like a foe He has killed all who were pleasing to the eye; He has poured out His wrath like fire on the tent of the Daughter of Zion.
Lokola moyini, abendi tolotolo na Ye; lokola monguna, asemboli loboko na Ye mpe abomi nyonso oyo ezalaki kosepelisa miso; mpe asopi kanda makasi na Ye lokola moto na likolo ya bandako ya kapo ya Siona, mboka kitoko.
5 The Lord is like an enemy; He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation for the Daughter of Judah.
Yawe akomi lokola monguna: abebisi mokili ya Isalaele, abebisi bandako nyonso ya mokonzi ya Isalaele, abuki bandako na yango batonga makasi, atondisi matanga mpe kolela kati na Yuda, mboka kitoko.
6 He has laid waste His tabernacle like a garden booth; He has destroyed His place of meeting. The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed feasts and Sabbaths. In His fierce anger He has despised both king and priest.
Abebisi lopango na ye ndenge babebisaka lopango ya elanga, abebisi esika na bango ya mayangani. Na kanda makasi na Ye, Yawe asali ete Siona abosana bafeti oyo ekatama mpe mikolo ya Saba; mpe apameli mokonzi mpe Nganga-Nzambe.
7 The Lord has rejected His altar; He has abandoned His sanctuary; He has delivered the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of the LORD as on the day of an appointed feast.
Yawe abwaki etumbelo na ye, asundoli esika na ye ya bule mpe akabi na maboko ya monguna bamir mpe bandako ya mokonzi na yango. Bato bagangi makasi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe ndenge bagangaka na mokolo ya feti oyo ekatama.
8 The LORD determined to destroy the wall of the Daughter of Zion. He stretched out a measuring line and did not withdraw His hand from destroying. He made the ramparts and walls lament; together they waste away.
Yawe akani kobuka bamir oyo ezingeli Siona, mboka kitoko; atandi singa ya komekela molayi mpe azongisi loboko na Ye na sima te mpo na kobebisa; abebisi bamir oyo ebatelaka engumba mpe bamir mosusu; bongo akweyisi yango nyonso.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and shattered their bars. Her king and her princes are exiled among the nations, the law is no more, and even her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
Bikuke na yango ezindi na mabele; abuki-buki mpe abebisi banzete oyo bakangelaka bikuke yango. Mokonzi mpe bakambi na ye bakei na bowumbu kati na bikolo, Mobeko ezali lisusu te, mpe basakoli na ye bazali kozwa lisusu te bimoniseli kowuta na Yawe.
10 The elders of the Daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The young women of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.
Bampaka ya Siona, mboka kitoko, bavandi kimia na mabele, bamisopeli putulu na mito na bango mpe balati basaki; bongo bilenge basi ya Yelusalemi bafukami, bilongi na bango kino na se.
11 My eyes fail from weeping; I am churning within. My heart is poured out in grief over the destruction of the daughter of my people, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city.
Miso na ngai elembi kobimisa mpinzoli, nazali komitungisa, libumu na ngai ezali kobaluka, motema na ngai ezali kotungisama mpo ete bato na ngai babebisami, mpo ete bana mpe bana oyo bazali komela mabele balembi-lembi banzoto na balabala ya engumba.
12 They cry out to their mothers: “Where is the grain and wine?” as they faint like the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in the arms of their mothers.
Bazalaki koloba na bamama na bango: « Epai wapi tokoki kozwa ble mpe masanga ya vino? » Ndenge bazalaki kokweya-kweya lokola bato oyo bazoki bapota minene na babalabala ya engumba, ndenge wana mpe bazalaki kokufa na maboko ya bamama na bango.
13 What can I say for you? To what can I compare you, O Daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I liken you, that I may console you, O Virgin Daughter of Zion? For your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can ever heal you?
Naloba lisusu nini mpo na yo? Nakokanisa yo na nani, Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko? Nakokanisa yo na nani mpo ete nakoka kobondisa yo, Siona, mboka kitoko? Pota na yo ezali monene lokola ebale monene; nani akoki kobikisa yo?
14 The visions of your prophets were empty and deceptive; they did not expose your guilt to ward off your captivity. The burdens they envisioned for you were empty and misleading.
Bimoniseli ya basakoli na yo ezalaki ya lokuta mpe ya pamba; balakisaki yo masumu na yo te mpo ete okende na bowumbu te: masakoli oyo bazwelaki yo ezalaki ya mabe mpe ya lokuta!
15 All who pass by clap their hands at you in scorn. They hiss and shake their heads at the Daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of all the earth?”
Bato nyonso oyo bolekelaka na nzela na yo bazali kobeta maboko na kokamwa, bazali kobeta piololo mpe koningisa mito mpo na Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko: « Boni, ezali solo engumba oyo bazalaki kobenga kitoko ekoka mpe esengo ya mokili mobimba? »
16 All your enemies open their mouths against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth, saying, “We have swallowed her up. This is the day for which we have waited. We have lived to see it!”
Banguna na yo nyonso bafungoli minoko na bango mpo na kotiola yo, bazali koseka yo mpe kolia minu na bango; bongo bazali koloba: « Tomeli ye! Tala mokolo oyo tozalaki kozela! Tokomi penza na mokolo yango mpe tomoni yango! »
17 The LORD has done what He planned; He has accomplished His decree, which He ordained in days of old; He has overthrown you without pity. He has let the enemy gloat over you and exalted the horn of your foes.
Yawe asali makambo oyo abongisaki, akokisi liloba na Ye, nyonso oyo aloba wuta kala: akweyisi yo na mawa te, apesi nzela na banguna na yo ete balonga yo, atomboli liseke ya banguna na yo.
18 The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. O wall of the Daughter of Zion, let your tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, and your eyes no rest.
Mitema ya bato ezali koganga epai na Nkolo. Oh mir ya Siona, mboka kitoko, tika ete mpinzoli na yo ebima lokola ebale, butu mpe moyi, mpe miso na yo ekangama te!
19 Arise, cry out in the night from the first watch of the night. Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to Him for the lives of your children who are fainting from hunger on the corner of every street.
Telema, ganga na butu ndenge bakengeli basalaka na butu; sopa motema na yo lokola mayi, na miso ya Nkolo, tombola maboko na yo epai na Ye mpo na bomoi ya bana na yo, oyo bazali kokufa nzala na babalabala nyonso.
20 Look, O LORD, and consider: Whom have You ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the infants they have nurtured? Should priests and prophets be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Oh Yawe, tala mpe mona! Nani oyo osalela makambo ya boye? Boni, basi basengelaki solo kolia mbuma ya mabumu na bango to bana oyo bango moko babokoli? Boni, basengelaki solo koboma mosakoli mpe Nganga-Nzambe kati na Esika ya bule ya Nkolo?
21 Both young and old lie together in the dust of the streets. My young men and maidens have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of Your anger; You have slaughtered them without compassion.
Bibembe ya bilenge mpe ya mikolo elali-lali na babalabala; basali na ngai ya mibali mpe ya basi bakufi na mopanga! Obomi bango na mokolo ya kanda na Yo; obomi bango na mawa te!
22 You summoned my attackers on every side, as for the day of an appointed feast. In the day of the LORD’s anger no one escaped or survived; my enemy has destroyed those I nurtured and reared.
Ndenge obengisaka bato na mokolo ya feti, ndenge wana mpe obengisaki pasi wuta na bangambo nyonso mpo na kosala ngai mabe. Na mokolo ya kanda ya Yawe, moto moko te abikaki to atikalaki na bomoi. Monguna na ngai abebisi bato oyo nazalaki kobokola mpe kobatela.
