Lamentations 2
1 How has the daughter of Zion been covered with a cloud by the Lord in his wrath! he has sent down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, and has not kept in memory the resting-place of his feet in the day of his wrath.
¡Cómo cubrió de nubes ʼAdonay en su ira a la hija de Sion! Lanzó del cielo a la tierra el esplendor de Israel. El día de su ira no se acordó del estrado de sus pies.
2 The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.
ʼAdonay destruyó sin compasión todas las moradas de Jacob. Derribó en su indignación las fortalezas de la hija de Judá. Las echó a tierra. Profanó el reino y a sus magistrados.
3 In his burning wrath every horn of Israel has been cut off; his right hand has been turned back before the attacker: he has put a fire in Jacob, causing destruction round about.
En el ardor de su furor cortó Toda la fuerza de Israel. Él retiró su mano derecha De delante del enemigo. Encendió en Jacob un llameante fuego Que devoró todo alrededor.
4 His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.
Entesó su arco como un enemigo. Aplicó su mano derecha como un adversario Y mató todo lo agradable a los ojos. En la morada de la hija de Sion Él derramó su furor como fuego.
5 The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.
ʼAdonay fue como un enemigo. Se tragó a Israel. Devoró todos sus palacios, Destruyó sus fortalezas, Y multiplicó el lamento y el luto de la hija de Judá.
6 And he has violently taken away his tent, as from a garden; he has made waste his meeting-place: the Lord has taken away the memory of feast and Sabbath in Zion, and in the passion of his wrath he is against king and priest.
Trató violentamente su Tabernáculo como un huerto. Destruyó su lugar de reunión. Canceló las fiestas señaladas y los sábados Para que se olvidaran en Sion. En el ardor de su furor despreció al rey y al sacerdote.
7 The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.
ʼAdonay repudió su altar. Abandonó su Santuario. Entregó los muros de sus palacios en manos del enemigo. Ellos producen un ruido en la Casa de Yavé Como en los días de fiesta señalada.
8 It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.
Yavé determinó destruir el muro de la hija de Sion. Extendió su cordel, Él no restringió su mano de la destrucción. Tambaleó el muro y el antemuro. Ambos se desplomaron.
9 Her doors have gone down into the earth; he has sent destruction on her locks: her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; even her prophets have had no vision from the Lord.
Hundió en el lodo sus puertas. Rompió y quebró sus cerrojos. Su rey y sus magistrados están esparcidos entre los gentiles. No existe la Ley. Sus profetas no hallan más visión de parte de Yavé.
10 The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.
Sentados en tierra Guardan silencio los ancianos de la hija de Sion. Echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas. Ataron a su cintura tela áspera. Las doncellas de Jerusalén bajan sus cabezas hasta la tierra.
11 My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.
Mis ojos desfallecen a causa de las lágrimas. Se conmueven mis órganos internos. Mi corazón está profundamente perturbado Y mi hiel se derrama a tierra A causa de la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo. Porque los niños y los bebés Desfallecen en las calles de la ciudad.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.
Preguntan a sus madres: ¿Dónde están el trigo y el vino? Mientras están tendidos como heridos en las calles de la ciudad, Mientras exhalan la vida en el regazo de sus madres.
13 What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?
¿Cómo te consolaré? ¿A qué te compararé, oh hija de Jerusalén? ¿A qué te compararé para consolarte, Oh hija de Jerusalén? Porque tu ruina es tan grande como el mar, ¿Quién puede sanarte?
14 The visions which your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish; they have not made clear to you your sin so that your fate might be changed: but they have seen for you false words, driving you away.
Tus profetas vieron para ti visiones falsas y necias. No expusieron tu iniquidad Como para restaurarte del cautiverio. Más bien te anunciaron palabras vanas y seductoras.
15 All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?
Todos los que pasan por el camino baten manos contra ti. Silban y menean sus cabezas contra la hija de Jerusalén: ¿Es ésta la ciudad de la cual decían: Es la perfección de la hermosura, Un regocijo para toda la tierra?
16 All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.
Todos tus enemigos abrieron sus bocas contra ti: Silbaron y rechinaron los dientes, y dijeron: ¡Lo logramos! ¡Éste es el día que esperábamos! ¡Lo conseguimos y lo vemos!
17 The Lord has done that which was his purpose; he has put into force the orders which he gave in the days which are past; pulling down without pity, he has made your hater glad over you, lifting up the horn of those who were against you.
Yavé realizó su propósito. Cumplió su Palabra ordenada desde antaño: Derribó sin compasión. Exaltó el poder de tus adversarios, Y permitió que tus enemigos recibieran el crédito.
18 Let your cry go up to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let your weeping be flowing down like a stream day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes keep back the drops of sorrow.
El corazón de ellos clama a ʼAdonay: ¡Oh muro de la hija de Sion! Corran tus lágrimas como un río día y noche. No te des reposo, Que no cesen las niñas de tus ojos.
19 Up! give cries in the night, at the starting of the night-watches; let your heart be flowing out like water before the face of the Lord, lifting up your hands to him for the life of your young children who are falling down, feeble for need of food, at the top of every street.
Levántate, da alaridos en la noche Al comienzo de las vigilias. Derrama como agua tu corazón en presencia de ʼAdonay. Levanta hacia Él tus manos Por la vida de tus pequeños Quienes desfallecen de hambre en la esquina de toda calle.
20 Look! O Lord, see to whom you have done this! Are the women to take as their food the fruit of their bodies, the children who are folded in their arms? are the priest and the prophet to be put to death in the holy place of the Lord?
¡Oh Yavé! Ve y considera: ¿A quién haces esto? ¿Las mujeres se comen su descendencia, A sus hijos que mecieron en sus brazos? ¿Deben el sacerdote y el profeta ser asesinados en el Santuario de ʼAdonay?
21 The young men and the old are stretched on the earth in the streets; my virgins and my young men have been put to the sword: you have sent death on them in the day of your wrath, causing death without pity.
En el suelo por las calles Están tendidos el joven y el anciano. Mis doncellas cayeron a filo de espada. Les diste la muerte el día de tu furor. Una matanza sin contemplación.
22 As in the day of a holy meeting you have made fears come round me on every side, and no one got away or was kept safe in the day of the Lord's wrath: those who were folded in my arms, whom I took care of, have been sent to their destruction by my hater.
Como en día señalado de fiesta Convocaste mis terrores por todos lados. Y no hubo uno que escape o sobreviva Del furor de Yavé. A los que cuidé y crié mi enemigo los exterminó.
