Lamentations 2
1 How hath the Lord in his anger covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud! He hath cast down from the heavens unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger.
| كَيْفَ غَطَّى ٱلسَّيِّدُ بِغَضَبِهِ ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱلظَّلَامِ! أَلْقَى مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَخْرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَوْطِئَ قَدَمَيْهِ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِهِ. | ١ |
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob, and hath not spared; he hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah: he hath brought [them] down to the ground; he hath profaned the kingdom and the princes thereof.
| ٱبْتَلَعَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ وَلَمْ يَشْفِقْ كُلَّ مَسَاكِنِ يَعْقُوبَ. نَقَضَ بِسَخَطِهِ حُصُونَ بِنْتِ يَهُوذَا. أَوْصَلَهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. نَجَّسَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ وَرُؤَسَاءَهَا. | ٢ |
3 He hath cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath withdrawn his right hand from before the enemy; and he burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, devouring round about.
| عَضَبَ بِحُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ كُلَّ قَرْنٍ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. رَدَّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ يَمِينَهُ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، وَٱشْتَعَلَ فِي يَعْقُوبَ مِثْلَ نَارٍ مُلْتَهِبَةٍ تَأْكُلُ مَا حَوَالَيْهَا. | ٣ |
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy; he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and hath slain all that was pleasant to the eye: in the tent of the daughter of Zion, he hath poured out his fury like fire.
| مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ كَعَدُوٍّ. نَصَبَ يَمِينَهُ كَمُبْغِضٍ وَقَتَلَ كُلَّ مُشْتَهَيَاتِ ٱلْعَيْنِ فِي خِبَاءِ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ. سَكَبَ كَنَارٍ غَيْظَهُ. | ٤ |
5 The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel; he hath swallowed up all her palaces; he hath destroyed his strongholds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
| صَارَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ كَعَدُوٍّ. ٱبْتَلَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٱبْتَلَعَ كُلَّ قُصُورِهِ. أَهْلَكَ حُصُونَهُ، وَأَكْثَرَ فِي بِنْتِ يَهُوذَا ٱلنَّوْحَ وَٱلْحُزْنَ. | ٥ |
6 And he hath violently cast down his enclosure as a garden; he hath destroyed his place of assembly: Jehovah hath caused set feast and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger king and priest.
| وَنَزَعَ كَمَا مِنْ جَنَّةٍ مَظَلَّتَهُ. أَهْلَكَ مُجْتَمَعَهُ. أَنْسَى ٱلرَّبُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلْمَوْسِمَ وَٱلسَّبْتَ، وَرَذَلَ بِسَخَطِ غَضَبِهِ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَٱلْكَاهِنَ. | ٦ |
7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath rejected his sanctuary; he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: they have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as on the day of a set feast.
| كَرِهَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ مَذْبَحَهُ. رَذَلَ مَقْدِسَهُ. حَصَرَ فِي يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ أَسْوَارَ قُصُورِهَا. أَطْلَقُوا ٱلصَّوْتَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْسِمِ. | ٧ |
8 Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying; and he hath made the rampart and the wall to lament: they languish together.
| قَصَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ سُورَ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ. مَدَّ ٱلْمِطْمَارَ. لَمْ يَرْدُدْ يَدَهُ عَنِ ٱلْإِهْلَاكِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمِتْرَسَةَ وَٱلسُّورَ يَنُوحَانِ. قَدْ حَزِنَا مَعًا. | ٨ |
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations: the law is no [more]; her prophets also find no vision from Jehovah.
| تَاخَتْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ أَبْوَابُهَا. أَهْلَكَ وَحَطَّمَ عَوَارِضَهَا. مَلِكُهَا وَرُؤَسَاؤُهَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. لَا شَرِيعَةَ. أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا أَيْضًا لَا يَجِدُونَ رُؤْيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٩ |
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they keep silence; they have cast dust upon their heads, they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their head to the ground.
| شُيُوخُ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَجْلِسُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ سَاكِتِينَ. يَرْفَعُونَ ٱلتُّرَابَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ. يَتَنَطَّقُونَ بِٱلْمُسُوحِ. تَحْنِي عَذَارَى أُورُشَلِيمَ رُؤُوسَهُنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٠ |
11 Mine eyes are consumed with tears, my bowels are troubled; my liver is poured upon the earth, because of the ruin of the daughter of my people; because infant and suckling swoon in the streets of the city.
| كَلَّتْ مِنَ ٱلدُّمُوعِ عَيْنَايَ. غَلَتْ أَحْشَائِي. ٱنْسَكَبَتْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَبِدِي عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي، لِأَجْلِ غَشَيَانِ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ وَٱلرُّضَّعِ فِي سَاحَاتِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ. | ١١ |
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city; when they pour out their soul into their mothers' bosom.
| يَقُولُونَ لِأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ: «أَيْنَ ٱلْحِنْطَةُ وَٱلْخَمْرُ؟» إِذْ يُغْشَى عَلَيْهِمْ كَجَرِيحٍ فِي سَاحَاتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، إِذْ تُسْكَبُ نَفْسُهُمْ فِي أَحْضَانِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ. | ١٢ |
13 What shall I take to witness for thee? what shall I liken unto thee, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, virgin daughter of Zion? For thy ruin is great as the sea: who will heal thee?
| بِمَاذَا أُنْذِرُكِ؟ بِمَاذَا أُحَذِّرُكِ؟ بِمَاذَا أُشَبِّهُكِ يَا ٱبْنَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ بِمَاذَا أُقَايِسُكِ فَأُعَزِّيكِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ؟ لِأَنَّ سَحْقَكِ عَظِيمٌ كَٱلْبَحْرِ. مَنْ يَشْفِيكِ؟ | ١٣ |
14 Thy prophets have seen vanity and folly for thee; and they have not revealed thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee burdens of falsehood and causes of expulsion.
| أَنْبِيَاؤُكِ رَأَوْا لَكِ كَذِبًا وَبَاطِلًا، وَلَمْ يُعْلِنُوا إِثْمَكِ لِيَرُدُّوا سَبْيَكِ، بَلْ رَأَوْا لَكِ وَحْيًا كَاذِبًا وَطَوَائِحَ. | ١٤ |
15 All that pass by clap [their] hands at thee; they hiss and shake their head at the daughter of Jerusalem: Is this the city which they called, The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
| يُصَفِّقُ عَلَيْكِ بِٱلْأَيَادِي كُلُّ عَابِرِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. يَصْفِرُونَ وَيَنْغُضُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ عَلَى بِنْتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلَّتِي يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا كَمَالُ ٱلْجَمَالِ، بَهْجَةُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟» | ١٥ |
16 All thine enemies open their mouth against thee, they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed [her] up; this is forsooth the day that we looked for: we have found, we have seen [it].
| يَفْتَحُ عَلَيْكِ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِكِ. يَصْفِرُونَ وَيَحْرِقُونَ ٱلْأَسْنَانَ. يَقُولُونَ: «قَدْ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا. حَقًّا إِنَّ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِي رَجَوْنَاهُ. قَدْ وَجَدْنَاهُ! قَدْ رَأَيْنَاهُ». | ١٦ |
17 Jehovah hath done what he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word which he had commanded from the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee; he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
| فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَا قَصَدَ. تَمَّمَ قَوْلَهُ ٱلَّذِي أَوْعَدَ بِهِ مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ. قَدْ هَدَمَ وَلَمْ يَشْفِقْ وَأَشْمَتَ بِكِ ٱلْعَدُوَّ. نَصَبَ قَرْنَ أَعْدَائِكِ. | ١٧ |
18 Their heart cried unto the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eye rest.
| صَرَخَ قَلْبُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّيِّدِ. يَا سُورَ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱسْكُبِي ٱلدَّمْعَ كَنَهْرٍ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا. لَا تُعْطِي ذَاتَكِ رَاحَةً. لَا تَكُفَّ حَدَقَةُ عَيْنِكِ. | ١٨ |
19 Arise, cry out in the night, in the beginning of the watches; pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, who faint from hunger at the top of all the streets.
| قُومِي ٱهْتِفِي فِي ٱللَّيْلِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْهُزُعِ. ٱسْكُبِي كَمِيَاهٍ قَلْبَكِ قُبَالَةَ وَجْهِ ٱلسَّيِّدِ. ٱرْفَعِي إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْكِ لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِ أَطْفَالِكِ ٱلْمَغْشِيِّ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ ٱلْجُوعِ فِي رَأْسِ كُلِّ شَارِعٍ. | ١٩ |
20 See, Jehovah, and consider to whom thou hast done this! Shall the women eat their fruit, the infants that they nursed? Shall priest and prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
| «اُنْظُرْ يَارَبُّ وَتَطَلَّعْ بِمَنْ فَعَلْتَ هَكَذَا؟ أَتَأْكُلُ ٱلنِّسَاءُ ثَمَرَهُنَّ، أَطْفَالَ ٱلْحَضَانَةِ؟ أَيُقْتَلُ فِي مَقْدِسِ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَٱلنَّبِيُّ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 The child and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain [them] in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, thou hast not spared.
| ٱضْطَجَعَتْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي ٱلشَّوَارِعِ ٱلصِّبْيَانُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ. عَذَارَايَ وَشُبَّانِي سَقَطُوا بِٱلسَّيْفِ. قَدْ قَتَلْتَ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِكَ. ذَبَحْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. | ٢١ |
22 Thou hast called up, as on the day of a set feast, my terrors on every side; and in the day of Jehovah's anger there was none that escaped or remained: those that I have nursed and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
| قَدْ دَعَوْتَ كَمَا فِي يَوْمِ مَوْسِمٍ مَخَاوِفِي حَوَالَيَّ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ نَاجٍ وَلَا بَاقٍ. اَلَّذِينَ حَضَنْتُهُمْ وَرَبَّيْتُهُمْ أَفْنَاهُمْ عَدُوِّي». | ٢٢ |
