< 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.
Hedèy te nakopo’ i Talè an-drahoñe ao t’i Tsione amy haviñera’ey! Naretsa’e boak’ an-dikerañey pak’ an-tane eo ty hatsomerentsere’ Israele, vaho nandikofa’e ty fatimpaha’e amy androm-pifomboa’ey.
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.
Fa nagedra’ i Talè tsy aman-tsehanga’e o kiboho’ Iakobeo, vaho tsy niferenaiña’e; fa nafetsa’e ambane eo o kijoly fatrats’ i anak’ ampela’ Iehodàio; ie nafotsa’e an-tane; tiniva’e i fifeheañey naho o roandria’eo.
3 In fierce anger He has cut off every horn of Israel and withdrawn His right hand at the approach of the enemy.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.
Fa naitoa’e an-kaviñerañe mena ty tsifa’ Israele; nasita’e aolo’ i rafelahiy ty fità’e havana; vaho finorototo’e hoe afo misolebatse t’Iakobe, afo mangotomomoke mb’eo mb’eo.
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.
Nabitso’e hoe rafelahy ty fale’e, najado’e hoe ravetro ty fità’e, vaho zinama’e iaby ze nisoa am-pihaino; an-kivoho’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ty nampidoandoaña’e ty haviñera’e hoe afo.
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.
Fa ninjare rafelahy t’i Talè henanekeo, fa nigenohe’e t’Israele; hene nabea’e o sokemitraha’eo, rinotsa’e o fipalirañe fatratseo; vaho nampitomboe’e amy anak’ampela’ Iehodày ty fangololoihañe naho fandalàñe.
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.
Hinatsakatsa’e i kivoho’ey hoe t’ie nigoloboñe; nampiantoe’e i toem-pivori’e namotoañañey; nampahaliñoe’ Iehovà e Tsione ao o Famantañañeo naho o Sabatao, vaho ninjè’e ami’ty fitorifiha’ i fifomboa’ey i mpanjakay naho o mpisoroñeo.
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.
Navokovoko’ i Talè i kitreli’ey, nampangorìñe Aze i toe’e niavakey; napo’e am-pitan-drafelahy o rindrin’ anjombao: ie nikorake añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao, manahake te añ’androm-pivory miavake.
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.
Sinafiri’ Iehovà ty handrotsake ty kijoli’ i anak’ ampela’ i Tsioney; fa kinazazà’e ty taly, tsy nampoli’e ty fità’e tsy handrotsake; nampirovete’e iaby ty fahañe naho ty rindriñe; mitrao-pinìke iereo.
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.
Nalentek’ an-tane ao o lalam-bei’eo; fa rinotsa’e vaho pinoza’e o sikada’eo; songa an-tane tsy mitan-Kàke i mpanjaka’ey naho o roandria’eo; eka tsy manjo aroñaroñe boak’ am’ Iehovà o mpitoki’eo.
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.
Mitozòke an-tane eo ty androanavi’ i Tsione, mijomohoñe, nampibobò deboke añ’ambone’eo; midian-gony am-baniañe; miondre-doha’ mb’an-tane o somondrara mieha’ i Tsioneo.
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.
Milesa o masokoo ty amo ranomasoo, mioremeñe ty troko; fa nadoañe an-tane ty ateko, ty amy fandrotsahañe i anak’ampela’ ondatikoy, ty amo anak’ajajao naho o mpinono mitoirañe an-dalan-drovao;
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.
Hoe iereo aman-drene, aia ty tsako naho ty divay? ie tsipike hoe mate an-dala’ i rovay ey ie midoañe añ’arañan-drene’e ao ty fiai’ iareo.
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?
Akore ty havereko azo? Añoharako ami’ty inon-drehe ry anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaime? Ino ty hañirinkiriñako ama’o hañohòako azo, ry anak’ampela’ i Tsione? Fa mienene manahake i riakey ty fere’o, ia ty hahamelañe azo?
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.
Nahaisak’ aroñarom-bande naho hagegeañe ho azo o mpitoki’oo; vaho tsy nabora’ iareo o tahi’oo, hampipoliañe azo boak’an-drohy ao, fa fetsen-dremborake ty niisa’ iareo, toe talim-pandroahañe.
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?”
Songa miteha-pitañe ama’o ze miary eo; sindre mikosake naho mikofikofi-doha amy anak’ampela’ Ierosalaimey manao ty hoe: Itoy hao i rova nitokaveñe ty hoe: Fahafoniran-Kasoa Vintañe, ty firebeha’ ty tane-bey toiy?
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!”
Nampidañadaña falie ama’o o fonga malaiñe azoo; mikosasàke naho mikodrìtse nife manao ty hoe: Fa nabean-tika; itoy ‘nio i andro nitaman-tikañey, fa tendreke, le isake.
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.
Fa nanoe’ Iehovà i naereñere’ey; fa nihenefa’e i fetse najado’e añ’andro taoloy; fa naretsa’e ambane eo le tsy niferenaiña’e; vaho nampirebehe’e ama’o o rafelahi’oo; naonjo’e ty tsifa’ o malaiñ’azoo.
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.
Mitoreo añ’arofo amy Talè iereo: O ry kijoli’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney, ampikararaho ranomaso hoe sorotombake handro an-kaleñe; ko ampahazoe’o fiaiñe ty fañova’o; ko ampitofa’o o fihaino’oo.
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.
Miongaha, mikoeaha te haleñe, ami’ty fiorota’ o fijilovañeo; adoaño ty arofo’o hoe rano añatrefan-dahara’ i Talè; añonjono fitañe ama’e ho ami’ty fiai’ o keleia’o mitoirañe ami’ty kerè an-doha o lalañeo iabio.
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?
Hehe ry Iehovà biribirio: ia o nanoa’o o raha zaoo? Habotse’ o rakembao hao o tolin-tsabo’eo? o ajaja otroñe’e am-pitàñeo? Ho zamaneñe an-toe’ i Talè miavak’ ao hao ty mpisoroñe naho ty mpitoky?
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.
Ty tora’e naho ty androanavi-bey, songa màndre an-tane an-dalañe eo; o somondrarakoo naho o ajalahikoo, fonga zinevo’ i fibaray; binaibai’o amy andron-kaviñera’oy zinama’o fa tsy niferenaiña’o.
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.
Kinoi’o hoe añ’androm- pivory miavake, o hekoheko miariseho ahikoo; vaho leo raike tsy nahabotatsake, tsy nanisañe amy andron-kaviñera’ Iehovày; o notroñekoo naho nibeizekoo ro fonga nabea’ i rafelahiy.
