Lamentations 1
1 How desolate sits the city of Jerusalem, once filled with people! She has become like a widow, she who was once great among the nations. The queen of all the world has become a slave-laborer.
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 cries bitterly through the night, tears rolling down her cheeks. Despite all her many lovers, no one comes to comfort her. Betrayed by all her friends, they are now her enemies.
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 dragged off into captivity, suffering miserably under brutal slavery; she lives among the nations but has no place of her own where she can rest. Those chasing her have brought her down and she cannot escape.
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 Even the roads to Zion are in mourning because no one travels on them to go to the religious festivals. All her gates are empty. Her priests groan in sadness. Her girls are suffering. She herself is in bitter distress.
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 hated her now control her; her enemies enjoy life, because the Lord has made her suffer due to all her sins of rebellion. Her children have been taken away as prisoners of the enemy.
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 All the glory has left the Daughter of Zion. Her leaders are like deer that can't find any grass to eat. They don't even have the strength to run away when the hunter comes after them!
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 As she wanders around in her misery, Jerusalem thinks back to all the wonderful things she once had in the old days. When her enemies conquered her people, she didn't receive any help. Her enemies gloated over her, and laughed at her downfall.
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 Jerusalem sinned terribly which is why she is now treated as someone unclean. Everyone who used to honor her now despise her, because they've seen her naked and ashamed. She herself groans as she turns away.
[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 Her uncleanness contaminates her skirts. She didn't think about what would happen. Her fall was a shock, and no one was there to comfort her. “Please, Lord, see how much I'm suffering, because the enemy has won!” she says.
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 invader has stolen all her treasures. She even had to watch as heathen nations went into her sanctuary, people you had forbidden to enter.
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 All her people groan, looking for bread. They have spent what they value the most to buy food so they can stay alive. “Please, Lord, look and see what's happening to me,” she says. “It's as if I'm worthless!
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 Don't you care anything about it, all you people passing by? Take a look and see! Is there any suffering as bad as mine, punished by the Lord when he became angry?
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 He sent down fire from heaven that destroyed my bones. He spread out a net to catch my feet, tripping me over. He abandoned me, leaving me sick all day long.
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 He took my rebellious sins and twisted them together into a yoke that he tied to my neck. He took away all my strength, and handed me over defenseless to my enemies.
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 brushed aside all my strong soldiers defending me. He called up an army to attack me, to crush my young men. The Lord has trampled down the virgin Daughter of Judah like grapes in a winepress.
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 This is why I'm weeping, tears flowing from my eyes, because there's is no one here to comfort me, no one to make me feel better. There's nothing left for my children because the enemy has conquered us.”
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 holds out her hands in distress, but there's no one to comfort her. The Lord issued orders against Jacob, and his neighbors became his enemies. Jerusalem is to them something disgusting.
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 has done what's right, because I rebelled against his instructions. Listen, everyone everywhere; look at what I'm suffering. My young women and young men have been taken off into captivity.
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 called out for help to my lovers, but they betrayed me. My priests and elders starved to death in the city as they tried to find food to keep themselves alive.
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 Can't you see, Lord, how upset I am? inside I am in turmoil; my heart is breaking because I've been so rebellious. Outside, the sword kills those I love; inside, it's like I'm living in the house of 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 People hear me groaning, but no one comes to comfort me. All my enemies have heard about the bad things that have happened to me, and they're delighted that it was you who did it. Please bring about the day of judgment that you promised so they can end up 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 May you see all the evil things they've done! Treat them the same way as you've treated me as a result of all my rebellious sins, for I'm groaning all the time, and I'm sick at heart.”
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.
