Lamentations 1
1 See her seated by herself, the town which was full of people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow! She who was a princess among the countries has come under the yoke of forced work!
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 is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.
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 been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.
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 ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.
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 Those who are against her have become the head, everything goes well for her haters; for the Lord has sent sorrow on her because of the great number of her sins: her young children have gone away as prisoners before the attacker.
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 And all her glory has gone from the daughter of Zion: her rulers have become like harts with no place for food, and they have gone in flight without strength before the attacker.
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 keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.
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 Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.
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 In her skirts were her unclean ways; she gave no thought to her end; and her fall has been a wonder; she has no comforter: see her sorrow, O Lord; for the attacker is lifted up.
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 hand of her hater is stretched out over all her desired things; for she has seen that the nations have come into her holy place, about whom you gave orders that they were not to come into the meeting of your people.
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 Breathing out grief all her people are looking for bread; they have given their desired things for food to give them life: see, O Lord, and take note; for she has become a thing of shame.
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 Come to me, all you who go by! Keep your eyes on me, and see if there is any pain like the pain of my wound, which the Lord has sent on me in the day of his burning wrath.
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 he has sent fire into my bones, and it has overcome them: his net is stretched out for my feet, I am turned back by him; he has made me waste and feeble all the day.
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 A watch is kept on my sins; they are joined together by his hand, they have come on to my neck; he has made my strength give way: the Lord has given me up into the hands of those against whom I have no power.
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 made sport of all my men of war in me, he has got men together against me to send destruction on my young men: the virgin daughter of Judah has been crushed like grapes under the feet of the Lord.
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 am weeping; my eye is streaming with water; because the comforter who might give me new life is far from me: my children are made waste, because the hater is strong.
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's hands are outstretched; she has no comforter; the Lord has given orders to the attackers of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem has become like an unclean thing among them.
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 upright; for I have gone against his orders: give ear, now, all you peoples, and see my pain, my virgins and my young men have gone away as prisoners.
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 sent for my lovers, but they were false to me: my priests and my responsible men were breathing their last breath in the town, while they were looking for food to give them new life.
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 See, O Lord, for I am in trouble; the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved; my heart is turned in me; for I have been uncontrolled: outside the children are put to the sword, and in the house there is 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 Give ear to the voice of my grief; I have no comforter; all my haters have news of my troubles, they are glad because you have done it: let the day of fate come when 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 evil-doing come before you; do to them as you have done to me for all my sins: for loud is the sound of my grief, and the strength of my heart is gone.
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!
