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!
Kako mesto sedi osamljeno, ki je bilo polno ljudstva! Kako je ona postala kakor vdova! Ona, ki je bila velika med narodi in princesa med provincami, kako je postala podvržena davku!
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.
Bridko joka ponoči in njene solze so na njenih licih. Med vsemi svojimi ljubimci nima nikogar, da jo potolaži. Vsi njeni prijatelji so zahrbtno postopali z njo, postali so njeni sovražniki.
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.
Juda je odšel v ujetništvo zaradi stiske in zaradi velikega hlapčevstva. Prebiva med pogani, ne najde nobenega počitka. Vsi njegovi preganjalci so ga dohiteli med ožinami.
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.
Poti [na] Sion žalujejo, ker ni nihče prišel k slovesnim praznikom. Vsa njena velika vrata so zapuščena. Njeni duhovniki vzdihujejo, njene device so užaloščene in sama je v grenkobi.
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.
Njeni nasprotniki so vodilni, njeni sovražniki uspevajo; kajti Gospod jo je prizadel zaradi množice njenih prestopkov. Njeni otroci so odšli v ujetništvo pred sovražnikom.
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.
Od sionske hčere je odšla vsa njena lepota. Njeni princi so postali podobni jelenom, ki ne najdejo pašnika in odšli so brez moči pred zasledovalcem.
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.
V dneh svoje stiske in svojih bed se je [prestolnica] Jeruzalem spomnila vseh svojih prijetnih stvari, ki jih je imela v dneh davnine, ko je njeno ljudstvo padlo v roko sovražnika in ji nihče ni pomagal. Nasprotniki so jo videli in jo zasmehovali pri njenih šabatih.
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.
[Prestolnica] Jeruzalem je bridko grešila, zato je odstranjena. Vsi, ki so jo častili, jo prezirajo, ker so videli njeno nagoto. Da, ona vzdihuje in se obrača nazaj.
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.
Njena umazanost je v krajcih njenih oblačil; ne spominja se svojega zadnjega konca, zato se je čudovito spustila. Nobenega tolažnika ni imela. Oh Gospod, glej mojo stisko, kajti sovražnik se je poveličal.
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.
Nasprotnik je svojo roko razprostrl nad vse njene prijetne stvari, kajti videla je, da so pogani vstopili v njeno svetišče, katerim si zapovedal, da naj ne vstopijo v tvojo skupnost.
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.
Vse njeno ljudstvo vzdihuje, iščejo kruh; svoje prijetne stvari so dali za hrano, da podprejo dušo. Glej, oh Gospod in preudari, kajti postala sem ničvredna.
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.
Ali vam ni to nič, vsi vi, ki greste mimo? Glejte in vidite, če je tam kakršnakoli bridkost podobna moji bridkosti, ki mi je storjena, s katero me je Gospod prizadel na dan svoje krute jeze.
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.
Od zgoraj je poslal ogenj v moje kosti in ta je prevladal zoper njih. Razprostrl je mrežo za moja stopala, obrnil me je nazaj. Naredil me je zapuščeno in ves dan slabim.
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.
Jarem mojih prestopkov je zvezan z njegovo roko. Oviti so in prišli so gor nad moj vrat. Moji moči je storil, da odpove, Gospod me je izročil v njihove roke, pred katerimi se nisem zmožen dvigniti.
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.
Gospod je pod stopalom pomendral vse moje mogočne može v moji sredi. Zoper mene je sklical zbor, da zdrobi moje mladeniče. Gospod je pomendral devico, Judovo hčer, kakor v vinski stiskalnici.
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.
Zaradi teh stvari jokam. Moje oko, moje oko teče dol z vodo, ker je tolažnik, ki naj bi razbremenil mojo dušo, daleč od mene. Moji otroci so zapuščeni, ker je sovražnik prevladal.
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.
Sion razširja svoje roke in tam ni nikogar, da jo potolaži. Gospod je zapovedal glede Jakoba, da naj bi bili njegovi nasprotniki naokoli njega. [Prestolnica] Jeruzalem je med njimi kakor ženska, ki ima menstruacijo.
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.
Gospod je pravičen, kajti uprla sem se zoper njegovo zapoved. Poslušajte, prosim vas, vsa ljudstva in glejte mojo bridkost. Moje device in moji mladeniči so odšli v ujetništvo.
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.
Poklicala sem svoje ljubimce, toda oni so me zavedli. Moji duhovniki in moje starešine so v mestu izročili duha, medtem ko so iskali svojo hrano, da podprejo svoje duše.
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.
Glej, oh Gospod, kajti v tegobi sem. Moja notranjost je nemirna; moje srce je obrnjeno znotraj mene; kajti neposlušno sem se uprla. Zunaj ropa meč, doma je kakor smrt.
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.
Slišali so, da sem zavzdihnila. Tam ni nikogar, da me potolaži. Vsi moji sovražniki so slišali o moji stiski; veseli so, da si to storil. Privedel boš dan, ki si ga poklical in oni bodo podobni meni.
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.
Naj vsa njihova zlobnost pride predte, in stori jim, kakor si storil meni, zaradi vseh mojih prestopkov, kajti mojih vzdihov je mnogo in moje srce je oslabelo.
