Lamentations 2
1 How the Lord has spread a cloud of his anger over the Daughter of Zion! He has thrown down Israel's glory from heaven to earth. He has deserted his Temple from the time he became angry.
Tala ndenge nini Nkolo azipi Siona, mboka kitoko, na lipata ya kanda na Ye: akweyisi lokumu ya Isalaele, wuta na likolo kino na se; na mokolo ya kanda na Ye, abosanaki enyatelo makolo na Ye!
2 The Lord has destroyed without mercy all the places where the descendants of Jacob lived. In his anger he has torn down the fortresses of the Daughter of Judah. He has demolished and degraded the kingdom and its leaders.
Na kozanga mawa, Nkolo abebisi bandako nyonso ya Jakobi; na kanda na Ye, akweyisi bandako batonga makasi ya Yuda, mwasi kitoko, mpe asambwisi bokonzi mpe bakambi na yango.
3 In his fury he has destroyed all of Israel's power, refusing to help as the enemy attacked. He was like a fire blazing in the land of Jacob, burning everything up.
Na kanda makasi na Ye, abukaki Isalaele maseke nyonso, alongolaki loboko na Ye ya mobali na likolo na yango tango monguna na bango azalaki kopusana; apelisaki moto kati na mokili ya Jakobi lokola moto makasi oyo etumbaka biloko nyonso na bangambo na yango nyonso.
4 He has fired arrows from his bow as if he were their enemy; he has used his power against them like an attacker. He has killed all the beloved children; he has poured out his anger like fire on the tent of the Daughter of Zion.
Lokola moyini, abendi tolotolo na Ye; lokola monguna, asemboli loboko na Ye mpe abomi nyonso oyo ezalaki kosepelisa miso; mpe asopi kanda makasi na Ye lokola moto na likolo ya bandako ya kapo ya Siona, mboka kitoko.
5 The Lord has become like an enemy, completely destroying Israel and its palaces, demolishing its fortresses, making the Daughter of Judah cry and mourn more and more.
Yawe akomi lokola monguna: abebisi mokili ya Isalaele, abebisi bandako nyonso ya mokonzi ya Isalaele, abuki bandako na yango batonga makasi, atondisi matanga mpe kolela kati na Yuda, mboka kitoko.
6 He has torn down his Temple as if was a garden shed; he has destroyed his meeting place. The Lord has made Zion forget about her religious festivals and Sabbaths. In his fury he has disowned both king and priest.
Abebisi lopango na ye ndenge babebisaka lopango ya elanga, abebisi esika na bango ya mayangani. Na kanda makasi na Ye, Yawe asali ete Siona abosana bafeti oyo ekatama mpe mikolo ya Saba; mpe apameli mokonzi mpe Nganga-Nzambe.
7 The Lord has discarded his altar; he has abandoned his Temple. He has handed it over to the enemy. They were shouting triumphantly in the Lord's Temple just as worshipers did on festival days.
Yawe abwaki etumbelo na ye, asundoli esika na ye ya bule mpe akabi na maboko ya monguna bamir mpe bandako ya mokonzi na yango. Bato bagangi makasi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe ndenge bagangaka na mokolo ya feti oyo ekatama.
8 The Lord was determined to destroy the defensive walls of the Daughter of Zion. He measured out what he would destroy, and didn't hesitate to do it. He made the battlements and walls weep; they both disintegrated.
Yawe akani kobuka bamir oyo ezingeli Siona, mboka kitoko; atandi singa ya komekela molayi mpe azongisi loboko na Ye na sima te mpo na kobebisa; abebisi bamir oyo ebatelaka engumba mpe bamir mosusu; bongo akweyisi yango nyonso.
9 Her gates have collapsed to the ground; he has destroyed their bars, breaking them apart. Her king and her princes have been exiled to other countries. No one follows the Law anymore, and even her prophets no longer receive visions from the Lord.
Bikuke na yango ezindi na mabele; abuki-buki mpe abebisi banzete oyo bakangelaka bikuke yango. Mokonzi mpe bakambi na ye bakei na bowumbu kati na bikolo, Mobeko ezali lisusu te, mpe basakoli na ye bazali kozwa lisusu te bimoniseli kowuta na Yawe.
10 The elders of the Daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust over their heads and put on clothes made of sackcloth. The young women of Jerusalem have bowed down, their heads to the ground.
Bampaka ya Siona, mboka kitoko, bavandi kimia na mabele, bamisopeli putulu na mito na bango mpe balati basaki; bongo bilenge basi ya Yelusalemi bafukami, bilongi na bango kino na se.
11 My eyes are worn out from crying; inside I am in turmoil. I'm sick and exhausted over the destruction of Jerusalem, the daughter of my people, because children and infants are fainting in the city streets.
Miso na ngai elembi kobimisa mpinzoli, nazali komitungisa, libumu na ngai ezali kobaluka, motema na ngai ezali kotungisama mpo ete bato na ngai babebisami, mpo ete bana mpe bana oyo bazali komela mabele balembi-lembi banzoto na balabala ya engumba.
12 They cry out to their mothers, “We need food and drink!” fainting in the city streets as if they're wounded, their lives fading away in their mothers' arms.
Bazalaki koloba na bamama na bango: « Epai wapi tokoki kozwa ble mpe masanga ya vino? » Ndenge bazalaki kokweya-kweya lokola bato oyo bazoki bapota minene na babalabala ya engumba, ndenge wana mpe bazalaki kokufa na maboko ya bamama na bango.
13 What can I tell you? What shall I compare you to, Daughter of Jerusalem? What can I say you're like in order to comfort you, virgin Daughter of Zion? For your wound gapes as wide as the sea—who could ever heal you?
Naloba lisusu nini mpo na yo? Nakokanisa yo na nani, Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko? Nakokanisa yo na nani mpo ete nakoka kobondisa yo, Siona, mboka kitoko? Pota na yo ezali monene lokola ebale monene; nani akoki kobikisa yo?
14 The visions of your prophets were false and worthless; they didn't point out your guilt to prevent you being taken into captivity. Instead they presented to you visions that were false and deceptive.
Bimoniseli ya basakoli na yo ezalaki ya lokuta mpe ya pamba; balakisaki yo masumu na yo te mpo ete okende na bowumbu te: masakoli oyo bazwelaki yo ezalaki ya mabe mpe ya lokuta!
15 Everyone who passes by mock you, clapping their hands, hissing and shaking their heads in scorn at the Daughter of Jerusalem. “Is this really the city that people called the perfection of beauty, the joy of all the earth?” they ask.
Bato nyonso oyo bolekelaka na nzela na yo bazali kobeta maboko na kokamwa, bazali kobeta piololo mpe koningisa mito mpo na Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko: « Boni, ezali solo engumba oyo bazalaki kobenga kitoko ekoka mpe esengo ya mokili mobimba? »
16 All your enemies open their mouths at you, hissing and gnashing their teeth, “We've swallowed her up! This is the day we've been waiting for. Now it's here and we've seen it happen!”
Banguna na yo nyonso bafungoli minoko na bango mpo na kotiola yo, bazali koseka yo mpe kolia minu na bango; bongo bazali koloba: « Tomeli ye! Tala mokolo oyo tozalaki kozela! Tokomi penza na mokolo yango mpe tomoni yango! »
17 The Lord has achieved what he decided; he has done what he warned he would. Just as he determined to do long ago, he has destroyed you, showing no mercy. He has allowed the enemy gloat over your defeat, and he has given power to those who attack you.
Yawe asali makambo oyo abongisaki, akokisi liloba na Ye, nyonso oyo aloba wuta kala: akweyisi yo na mawa te, apesi nzela na banguna na yo ete balonga yo, atomboli liseke ya banguna na yo.
18 The people cry out to the Lord from the bottom of their hearts. Daughter of Zion, let your walls stream down with tears like a river all day and night. Don't stop, go on crying!
Mitema ya bato ezali koganga epai na Nkolo. Oh mir ya Siona, mboka kitoko, tika ete mpinzoli na yo ebima lokola ebale, butu mpe moyi, mpe miso na yo ekangama te!
19 Get up and cry out as the night begins. Pour out your sad thoughts like water before the Lord. Hold up your hands to him in prayer for the lives of your children who are fainting from hunger at every street corner.
Telema, ganga na butu ndenge bakengeli basalaka na butu; sopa motema na yo lokola mayi, na miso ya Nkolo, tombola maboko na yo epai na Ye mpo na bomoi ya bana na yo, oyo bazali kokufa nzala na babalabala nyonso.
20 Lord, please think about it! Who have you ever treated this way? Should women have to eat their children, the little ones they love? Should priests and prophets be killed in the Lord's Temple?
Oh Yawe, tala mpe mona! Nani oyo osalela makambo ya boye? Boni, basi basengelaki solo kolia mbuma ya mabumu na bango to bana oyo bango moko babokoli? Boni, basengelaki solo koboma mosakoli mpe Nganga-Nzambe kati na Esika ya bule ya Nkolo?
21 The dead, young and old, lie together in the dust of the streets. My young men and young women, have been killed by the sword. You killed them when you were angry; you have slaughtered them without mercy.
Bibembe ya bilenge mpe ya mikolo elali-lali na babalabala; basali na ngai ya mibali mpe ya basi bakufi na mopanga! Obomi bango na mokolo ya kanda na Yo; obomi bango na mawa te!
22 You invited enemies to attack me from every direction like you were inviting them to a religious festival. At the time when the Lord was angry nobody escaped, nobody survived. My enemy has destroyed the children I looked after and loved.
Ndenge obengisaka bato na mokolo ya feti, ndenge wana mpe obengisaki pasi wuta na bangambo nyonso mpo na kosala ngai mabe. Na mokolo ya kanda ya Yawe, moto moko te abikaki to atikalaki na bomoi. Monguna na ngai abebisi bato oyo nazalaki kobokola mpe kobatela.
