Lamentations 1
1 Howe doeth the citie remaine solitarie that was full of people? she is as a widowe: she that was great among the nations, and princesse among the prouinces, is made tributarie.
Báwo ni ìlú ṣe jókòó nìkan, nígbà kan tí ó sì kún fún ènìyàn! Ó ti fìgbà kan jẹ́ ìlú olókìkí láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, tí ó wà ní ipò opó, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ ọbabìnrin láàrín ìlú ni ó padà di ẹrú.
2 She weepeth continually in the night, and her teares runne downe by her cheekes: among all her louers, she hath none to comfort her: all her friendes haue delt vnfaithfully with her, and are her enemies.
Ọ̀gànjọ́ òru ni ó fi máa ń sọkún kíkorò pẹ̀lú omijé ní ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó dúró sí ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀. Nínú gbogbo àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀ kò sí ọ̀kan nínú wọn láti rẹ̀ ẹ́ lẹ́kún. Gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ ti jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ wọ́n ti di alátakò rẹ̀.
3 Iudah is caried away captiue because of affliction, and because of great seruitude: shee dwelleth among the heathen, and findeth no rest: all her persecuters tooke her in the straites.
Lẹ́yìn ìjìyà àti ìpọ́njú nínú oko ẹrú, Juda lọ sí àjò Ó tẹ̀dó láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ṣùgbọ́n kò rí ibi ìsinmi. Àwọn tí ó ń tẹ̀lé ká á mọ́ ibi tí kò ti le sá àsálà.
4 The wayes of Zion lament, because no man commeth to the solemne feastes: all her gates are desolate: her Priests sigh: her virgins are discomfited, and she is in heauinesse.
Gbogbo ọ̀nà tí ó wọ Sioni ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, nítorí ẹnìkan kò wá sí àjọ̀dún tí a yàn. Gbogbo ẹnu-bodè rẹ̀ dahoro, àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀ kẹ́dùn, àwọn wúńdíá rẹ̀ sì ń káàánú, òun gan an wà ní ọkàn kíkorò.
5 Her aduersaries are the chiefe, and her enemies prosper: for the Lord hath afflicted her, for the multitude of her transgressions, and her children are gone into captiuitie before the enemie.
Àwọn aninilára rẹ̀ gbogbo di olúwa rẹ̀, nǹkan sì rọrùn fún àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, Olúwa ti fún un ní ìjìyà tó tọ́ nítorí àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀. Àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ wẹ́wẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ sí oko ẹrú, ìgbèkùn níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá.
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beautie is departed: her princes are become like harts that finde no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
Gbogbo ẹwà ti di ohun ìgbàgbé kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ọmọbìnrin Sioni. Àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ dàbí i àgbọ̀nrín tí kò rí ewé tútù jẹ; nínú àárẹ̀ wọ́n sáré níwájú ẹni tí ó ń lé wọn.
7 Ierusalem remembred the dayes of her affliction, and of her rebellion, and all her pleasant things, that shee had in times past, when her people fell into the hande of the enemie, and none did helpe her: the aduersarie sawe her, and did mocke at her Sabbaths.
Ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú àti àrìnká rẹ̀ ni Jerusalẹmu rántí àwọn ohun ìní dáradára rẹ̀ tí ó jẹ́ tirẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ pípẹ́. Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ṣubú ṣọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá, kò sì ṣí olùrànlọ́wọ́ fún un. Àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ wò ó wọ́n sì ń fi ìparun rẹ̀ ṣẹlẹ́yà.
8 Ierusalem hath grieuously sinned, therefore shee is in derision: all that honoured her, despise her, because they haue seene her filthinesse: yea, she sigheth and turneth backeward.
Jerusalẹmu sì ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ púpọ̀ ó sì ti di aláìmọ́. Àwọn tí ó ń tẹríba fún un sì kẹ́gàn rẹ̀, nítorí wọ́n ti rí ìhòhò rẹ̀; ó kérora fúnra rẹ̀, ó sì lọ kúrò.
9 Her filthinesse is in her skirts: she remembred not her last ende, therefore she came downe wonderfully: she had no comforter: O Lord, behold mine affliction: for the enemie is proud.
Ìdọ̀tí wà ní etí aṣọ rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò wo ọjọ́ iwájú rẹ̀. Ìṣubú rẹ̀ ya ni lẹ́nu; olùtùnú kò sì ṣí fún un. “Wo ìpọ́njú mi, Olúwa, nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá ti borí.”
10 The enemie hath stretched out his hande vpon al her pleasant things: for she hath seene the heathen enter into her Sanctuarie, whom thou diddest commande, that they shoulde not enter into thy Church.
Ọ̀tá ti gbọ́wọ́ lé gbogbo ìní rẹ; o rí pé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n wọ ibi mímọ́ rẹ— àwọn tí o ti kọ̀sílẹ̀ láti wọ ìpéjọpọ̀ rẹ.
11 All her people sigh and seeke their bread: they haue giuen their pleasant thinges for meate to refresh the soule: see, O Lord, and consider: for I am become vile.
Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ń kérora bí wọ́n ti ń wá oúnjẹ; wọ́n fi ohun ìní wọn ṣe pàṣípàrọ̀ oúnjẹ láti mú wọn wà láààyè. “Wò ó, Olúwa, kí o sì rò ó, nítorí a kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀.”
12 Haue ye no regarde, all yee that passe by this way? behold, and see, if there be any sorowe like vnto my sorowe, which is done vnto mee, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce wrath.
“Kò ha jẹ́ nǹkan kan sí i yín? Gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ń rékọjá. Ǹjẹ́ ẹnìkan ń jìyà bí èmi ti ń jìyà tí a fi fún mi, ti Olúwa mú wá fún mi ní ọjọ́ ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ̀.
13 From aboue hath hee sent fire into my bones, which preuaile against them: he hath spred a net for my feete, and turned me backe: hee hath made me desolate, and daily in heauinesse.
“Ó rán iná láti òkè sọ̀kalẹ̀ sínú egungun ara mi. Ó dẹ àwọ̀n fún ẹsẹ̀ mi, ó sì yí mi padà. Ó ti pa mí lára mó ń kú lọ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bounde vpon his hand: they are wrapped, and come vp vpon my necke: hee hath made my strength to fall: the Lord hath deliuered me into their hands, neither am I able to rise vp.
“Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi ti di sísopọ̀ sí àjàgà; ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni a fi hun ún papọ̀. Wọ́n ti yí ọrùn mi ká Olúwa sì ti dín agbára mi kù. Ó sì ti fi mí lé àwọn tí n kò le dojúkọ lọ́wọ́.
15 The Lord hath troden vnder foote all my valiant men in the middes of me: he hath called an assembly against me to destroy my yong men: the Lord hath troden the wine presse vpon the virgine the daughter of Iudah.
“Olúwa kọ àwọn akọni mi sílẹ̀, ó rán àwọn ológun lòdì sí mi kí wọn pa àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin mi run. Nínú ìfúntí wáìnì rẹ̀ Olúwa tẹ́ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin Juda.
16 For these things I weepe: mine eye, euen mine eye casteth out water, because the comforter that should refresh my soule, is farre from me: my children are desolate, because the enemie preuailed.
“Ìdí nìyí tí mo fi ń sọkún tí omijé sì ń dà lójú mi. Olùtùnú àti ẹni tí ó le mú ọkàn mi sọjí jìnnà sí mi, kò sí ẹni tí yóò dá ẹ̀mí mi padà. Àwọn ọmọ mi di aláìní nítorí ọ̀tá ti borí.”
17 Zion stretcheth out her handes, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath appoynted the enemies of Iaakob rounde about him: Ierusalem is as a menstruous woman in the middes of them.
Sioni na ọwọ́ jáde, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí olùtùnú fún un. Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Jakọbu pé àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ di ọ̀tá fún un Jerusalẹmu ti di ohun aláìmọ́ láàrín wọn.
18 The Lord is righteous: for I haue rebelled against his commandement: heare, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorowe: my virgins and my yong men are gone into captiuitie.
“Olóòtítọ́ ni Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n mo ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí àṣẹ rẹ̀. Ẹ gbọ́, gbogbo ènìyàn; ẹ wò mí wò ìyà mi. Gbogbo ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin àti ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin mi ni a ti kó lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
19 I called for my louers, but they deceiued me: my Priestes and mine Elders perished in the citie while they sought their meate to refresh their soules.
“Mo pe àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ mi ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dà mí. Àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àgbàgbà mi ṣègbé sínú ìlú nígbà tí wọ́n ń wá oúnjẹ tí yóò mú wọn wà láààyè.
20 Behold, O Lord, howe I am troubled: my bowels swell: mine heart is turned within me, for I am ful of heauinesse: the sword spoyleth abroad, as death doeth at home.
“Olúwa, wò ó, bí mo ti wà nínú ìnira! Tí mo sì ń jẹ̀rora nínú mi, ìdààmú dé bá ọkàn mi nítorí pé a ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi gidigidi. Ní gbangba ni idà ń parun; ikú wà nínú ilé pẹ̀lú.
21 They haue heard that I mourne, but there is none to comfort mee: all mine enemies haue heard of my trouble, and are glad, that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day, that thou hast pronounced, and they shalbe like vnto me.
“Àwọn ènìyàn ti gbọ́ ìrora mi, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí olùtùnú fún mi. Àwọn ọ̀tá mi ti gbọ́ ìparun mi; wọ́n yọ̀ sí ohun tí o ṣe. Kí o mú ọjọ́ tí o ti kéde, kí wọ́n le dàbí tèmi.
22 Let all their wickednes come before thee: do vnto them, as thou hast done vnto me, for all my transgressions: for my sighes are many, and mine heart is heauy.
“Jẹ́ kí ìwà ìkà wọn wá síwájú rẹ; jẹ wọ́n ní yà bí o ṣe jẹ mí ní yà nítorí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi. Ìrora mi pọ̀ ọkàn mi sì rẹ̀wẹ̀sì.”
