Lamentations 4
1 How is the golde become so dimme? the most fine golde is changed, and the stones of the Sanctuarie are scattered in the corner of euery streete.
Indrisy! efa matromatroka ny volamena; Efa niova ny tena volamena tsara! Ny vato nohamasinina dia efa nahahany eny an-joron-dalambe rehetra eny.
2 The noble men of Zion coparable to fine golde, howe are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, euen the worke of the handes of the potter!
Indrisy! ny zanaka mahafinaritr’ i Ziona, izay saro-bidy tahaka ny tena volamena, dia efa atao ho toy ny siny, asan-tànan’ ny mpanefy tanimanga!
3 Euen the dragons draw out the breastes, and giue sucke to their yong, but the daughter of my people is become cruell like the ostriches in the wildernesse.
Na dia ny amboadia aza dia manolotra nono hampinonoany ny zanany; Fa ny oloko zanakavavy kosa dia efa masiaka toy ny ostritsa any an-efitra.
4 The tongue of the sucking childe cleaueth to the roofe of his mouth for thirst: the yong children aske bread, but no man breaketh it vnto them.
Ny lelan’ ny zaza minono miraikitra amin’ ny lanilaniny noho ny hetaheta; Ny ankizy madinika mangataka hanina, nefa tsy misy mizara ho azy.
5 They that did feede delicately, perish in the streetes: they that were brought vp in skarlet, embrace the dongue.
Izay nihinana zava-py dia mahantra eny an-dalambe; Izay notezaina tamin’ ny jaky dia mandamaka eny amin’ ny zezika.
6 For the iniquitie of the daughter of my people is become greater then the sinne of Sodom, that was destroyed as in a moment, and none pitched campes against her.
Fa ny heloky ny oloko zanakavavy dia lehibe noho ny helok’ i Sodoma, Izay noravana indray mipi-maso monja, nefa tsy nokasihin-tanana akory,
7 Her Nazarites were purer then the snowe, and whiter then ye milke: they were more ruddie in bodie, then the redde precious stones; they were like polished saphir.
Ny lehibeny dia mangatsakatsaka noho ny fanala, eny, fotsy noho ny ronono; Mena noho ny voahangy ny tenany; Tahaka ny vato safira ny endriny.
8 Nowe their visage is blacker then a cole: they can not knowe them in the streetes: their skinne cleaueth to their bones: it is withered like a stocke.
Fa izao kosa dia mainty noho ny arina ny tarehiny, ka tsy fantatra eny an-dalana izy; Ny hodiny miraikitra amin’ ny taolany ka tonga maina toy ny hazo.
9 They that be slaine with the sword are better, then they that are killed with hunger: for they fade away as they were striken through for the fruites of the fielde.
Tsara ny matin-tsabatra noho ny maty mosary; Fa ireto dia mihareraka toy ny voatrobaka noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny vokatry ny saha.
10 The hands of the pitifull women haue sodden their owne children, which were their meate in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Ny tanan’ ny vehivavy malemy fanahy aza dia nahandro ny zanany: Eny, izany no nohaniny tamin’ ny fandringanana ny oloko zanakavavy.
11 The Lord hath accomplished his indignation: he hath powred out his fierce wrath, he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath deuoured the foundations thereof.
Tanterahin’ i Jehovah ny fahavinirany, naidiny ny fahatezerany mirehitra, ary Izy nampirehitra afo tao Ziona, handevonana ny fanorenany.
12 The Kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not haue beleeued that the aduersarie and the enemie should haue entred into the gates of Ierusalem:
Ny mpanjakan’ ny tany sy ny mponina rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao dia tsy nanampo fa ny rafilahy sy ny fahavalo no ho tafiditra ao amin’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema.
13 For the sinnes of her Prophets, and the iniquities of her Priests, that haue shed the blood of the iust in the middes of her.
Noho ny fahotan’ ny mpaminany sy ny heloky ny mpisorony, izay nandatsaka ny ran’ ny marina tao aminy, no nahatongavan’ izao.
14 They haue wandred as blinde men in the streetes, and they were polluted with blood, so that they would not touch their garments.
Niraparapa toy ny jamba teny an-dalambe izy, sady voahosin-drà ny tenany, ka tsy nisy sahy nikasika ny akanjony.
15 But they cried vnto them, Depart, ye polluted, depart, depart, touch not: therefore they fled away, and wandered: they haue sayd among the heathen, They shall no more dwell there.
Ny olona niantsoantso azy hoe: Mialà ianareo, fa maloto, mialà, mialà, aza mikasika anay. Raha nandositra sy niraparapa izy, dia hoy ny olona tany amin’ ny jentilisa: Tsy mahazo mivahiny atỳ intsony ireny.
16 The anger of the Lord hath scattered them, he will no more regard them: they reuerenced not the face of the Priestes, nor had compassion of the Elders.
Ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah no nampihahakahaka azy, ary tsy mijery azy intsony Izy; Ny mpisorona tsy hajain’ ireny, ary ny antitra tsy amindrany fo.
17 Whiles we waited for our vaine helpe, our eyes failed: for in our waiting we looked for a nation that could not saue vs.
Mbola pahina ny masonay miandry foana ny hamonjy anay; Nitazana teo amin’ ny tilikambo izahay nanantena ny firenena izay tsy nahavonjy anay.
18 They hunt our steppes that we cannot goe in our streetes: our ende is neere, our dayes are fulfilled, for our ende is come.
Mitsongo-dia anay izy, ka tsy mahazo mandeha eny an-dalambe aza izahay; Akaiky ny fara-fiainanay, tapitra ny andronay, eny, tonga ny fara-fiainanay.
19 Our persecuters are swifter then the eagles of the heauen: they pursued vs vpon the mountaines, and layed waite for vs in the wildernes.
Ny mpanenjika anay dia haingam-pandeha noho ny voromahery eny amin’ ny lanitra, ka miolomay manenjika anay any an-tendrombohitra ary manotrika anay any an-efitra izy.
20 The breath of our nostrels, the Anoynted of the Lord was taken in their nets, of whome we sayde, Vnder his shadowe we shalbe preserued aliue among the heathen.
Ny fofonainay, ilay voahosotr’ i Jehovah, dia efa voafandriky ny longoany, dia ilay nataonay hoe: Ao ambanin’ ny alokalony no hahavelona anay any amin’ ny firenena.
21 Reioyce and be glad, O daughter Edom, that dwellest in the lande of Vz, the cuppe also shall passe through vnto thee: thou shalt be drunken and vomit.
Mifalia sy miraveravoa ihany ary, ry Edoma zanakavavy, izay monina any amin’ ny tany Oza, ianao koa no horosoana ny kapoaka, ka ho mamo sy hitanjaka ianao.
22 Thy punishment is accomplished, O daughter Zion: he will no more carie thee away into captiuitie, but he will visite thine iniquitie, O daughter Edom, he wil discouer thy sinnes.
Tsy misy intsony ny helokao, ry Ziona zanakavavy, tsy ho entina ho babo intsony ianao; Hamaly anao Izy, ry Edoma zanakavavy, noho ny helokao ka hampiseho ny fahotanao.
