Lamentations 1
1 [ALEPH-BET] How she has sat alone, The city abounding with people! She has been as a widow, The mighty among nations! Princes among provinces, She has become tributary!
Magaalaan dur namaan guutamtee turte sun akkamitti ontee hafte! Isheen yeroo tokko saboota gidduutti guddoo turte akkamitti akka haadha hiyyeessaa taate! Isheen kutaalee biyyaa gidduutti mootii turte sun amma garbittii taateerti.
2 She weeps severely in the night, And her tear [is] on her cheeks, There is no comforter for her out of all her lovers, All her friends dealt treacherously by her, They have been to her for enemies.
Isheen halkan halkan hiqqifattee boossi; maddii ishee irra imimmaantu yaaʼa. Michoota ishee hunda keessaa kan ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Michoonni ishee hundinuu ishee gananiiru; isaan diinota ishee taʼaniiru.
3 Removed has Judah because of affliction, And because of the abundance of her service; She has dwelt among nations, She has not found rest, All her pursuers have overtaken her between the straits.
Rakkinaa fi cunqurfama guddaa booddee Yihuudaan boojiʼamtee fudhatamteerti. Isheen saboota gidduu jiraatti, lafa itti boqottu illee hin arganne. Warri ishee ariʼan hundi rakkina ishee keessatti ishee qabatan.
4 The ways of Zion are mourning, Without any coming at the appointed time, All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, Her virgins are afflicted—and she has bitterness.
Daandiiwwan Xiyoon ni booʼu; namni ayyaana ishee kan murteeffame kabajuuf dhufu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii. Karrawwan ishee hundi onanii jiru; luboonni ishee ni aadu; shamarran ishee ni gaddu, isheenis dhiphina guddaa keessa jirti.
5 Her adversaries have become chief, Her enemies have been at ease, For YHWH has afflicted her, For the abundance of her transgressions, Her infants have gone captive before the adversary.
Amajaajonni ishee gooftota ishee taʼaniiru; diinota isheetti toleera. Sababii cubbuu ishee baayʼee sanaatiif Waaqayyo gadda itti fideera. Ijoolleen ishee fudhatamanii deemaniiru; fuula amajaajota ishee duratti boojiʼamaniiru.
6 And all her honor goes out from the daughter of Zion, Her princes have been as harts—They have not found pasture, And they go powerless before a pursuer.
Intala Xiyoon irraa miidhaginni hundi fudhatameera. Ilmaan mootota ishee akkuma gadamsa lafa dheedaa dhabee taʼaniiru; isaan dadhabbiidhaan fuula warra isaan ariʼanii dura baqatan.
7 Jerusalem has remembered [In] the days of her affliction and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an adversary, And she has no helper; Adversaries have seen her, They have laughed at her cessation.
Baroota rakkinaa fi asii achi jooruu ishee keessa Yerusaalem qabeenya bara durii kan ishee ture hunda ni yaadatti. Yeroo namoonni ishee harka diinaa seenanitti namni ishee gargaaru tokko iyyuu hin turre. Diinonni ishee ishee ilaalanii badiisa isheetti kolfan.
8 A sin has Jerusalem sinned, Therefore she has become impure, All who honored her have esteemed her lightly, For they have seen her nakedness, Indeed, she herself has sighed and turns backward.
Yerusaalem akka malee cubbuu hojjette; akkasiinis xuroofte. Warri ulfina kennaniifii turan hundi ishee tuffatan; isaan qullaatti hafuu ishee arganiiruutii; isheen mataan ishee guungumtee of irra garagalti.
9 Her uncleanness [is] in her skirts, She has not remembered her latter end, And she comes down wonderfully, There is no comforter for her. See, O YHWH, my affliction, For an enemy has exerted himself.
Xuraaʼummaan ishee wandaboo isheetti maxxane; isheen waan gara duraatti itti dhufu hin yaadne; kufaatiin ishee nama rifachiisa; kan ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru ture. “Yaa Waaqayyo rakkina koo ilaali; diinni moʼateeraatii!”
10 His hand has spread out an adversary On all her desirable things, For she has seen—Nations have entered her sanctuary, Concerning which You commanded, “They do not come into the assembly to you.”
Qabeenya ishee hundatti diinni harka isaa diriirseera; isheen Namoota Ormaa warra ati akka isaan waldaa kee hin seenne dhowwite sana utuu isaan iddoo ishee qulqulluu seenanuu argite.
11 All her people are sighing—seeking bread, They have given their desirable things For food to refresh the body; See, O YHWH, and behold attentively, For I have been lightly esteemed.
Namoonni ishee hundinuu utuma aadanuu buddeena barbaaddatu; isaan lubbuu ofii isaanii turfachuuf jecha qabeenya isaanii nyaataan geeddarratu. “Yaa Waaqayyo na ilaali, na yaadadhus; ani tuffatameeraatii.”
12 [Is it] nothing to you, all you passing by the way? Look attentively, and see, If there is any pain like my pain, That He is rolling to me? Whom YHWH has afflicted In the day of the fierceness of His anger.
“Warra karaa irra dabartan hundi, kun isiniif homaa mitii? Naannoo keessan ilaalaatii argaa. Rakkinni akka rakkina koo kan ani ittiin rakkadhe, kan Waaqayyo guyyaa dheekkamsa isaatti natti fide sanaa jiru tokko iyyuu jiraa?
13 From above He has sent fire into my bone, And it subdues it, He has spread a net for my feet, He has turned me backward, He has made me desolate—all the day sick.
“Inni ol gubbaadhaa ibidda erge; ibidda sana lafee koo keessa seensisa. Inni miilla kootiif kiyyoo diriirsee dugda duubatti na deebise; inni kophaatti na hambisee guyyaa guutuu na dadhabsiise.
14 Bound has been the yoke of my transgressions by His hand, They are wrapped together, They have gone up on my neck, He has caused my power to stumble, The Lord has given me into hands, I am not able to rise.
“Cubbuun koo waanjootti hidhameera; isaan harka isaatiin walitti foʼaman. Isaan morma kootti rarraafaman; gooftaan humna koo dadhabsiise. Inni warra ani of irraa deebisuu hin dandeenyetti dabarsee na kenneera.
15 The Lord has trodden down all my mighty ones in my midst, He proclaimed an appointed time against me, To destroy my young men, The Lord has trodden a winepress, To the virgin daughter of Judah.
“Gooftaan gootota na keessatti argaman hunda gateera; inni dargaggoota koo caccabsuuf yaaʼii waammate. Gooftaan iddoo cuunfaa wayinii isaatti Durba Qulqullittii Intala Yihuudaa dhidhiiteera.
16 For these I am weeping, My eye, my eye, is running down with waters, For a comforter has been far from me, Refreshing my soul, My sons have been desolate, For mighty has been an enemy.
“Wanni ani booʼee iji koo imimmaaniin guutameef kanaa dha. Namni na jajjabeessuuf dhiʼoo jiru tokko iyyuu hin jiru; kan hafuura koo bayyanachiisus hin jiru. Sababii diinni humna argateef ijoolleen koo harka duwwaa hafan.”
17 Zion has spread forth her hands, There is no comforter for her, YHWH has charged concerning Jacob, His neighbors [are] his adversaries, Jerusalem has become impure among them.
Xiyoon harka ishee balʼifatteerti; garuu namni ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Akka olloonni isaa amajaajota isaa taʼaniif Waaqayyo Yaaqoobitti ajajeera; Yerusaalemis gidduu isaaniitti waan xuraaʼaa taateerti.
18 YHWH is righteous, For I have provoked His mouth. Now hear, all you peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
“Waaqayyo qajeelaa dha; taʼus ani ajajawwan isaatti fincileen ture. Yaa saboota, hundi keessan dhagaʼaa; rakkina koos ilaalaa. Dargaggoonnii fi shamarran koo boojiʼamanii fudhatamaniiru.
19 I called for my lovers, they have deceived me, My priests and my elderly have expired in the city; When they have sought food for themselves, Then they give back their soul.
“Ani tumsitoota koo nan waammadhe; isaan garuu na ganan. Luboonni koo fi maanguddoonni koo utuu lubbuu isaanii oolfachuuf nyaata barbaadatanuu magaalaa keessatti dhuman.
20 See, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me, My bowels have been troubled, My heart has been turned in my midst, For I have greatly provoked, From outside the sword has bereaved, In the house [it is] as death.
“Yaa Waaqayyo akka ani dhiphadhe ilaali! Ani keessa kootti dhiphadheera; garaa koo keessatti raafameera; ani nama akka malee fincilun tureetii. Alaa goraadeen nama qala; mana keessa immoo duʼa qofatu jira.
21 They have heard that I have sighed, There is no comforter for me, All my enemies have heard of my calamity, They have rejoiced that You have done [it], You have brought in the day You have called, And they are like to me.
“Namoonni akka ani aadaa jiru dhagaʼaniiru; kan na jajjabeessu garuu hin jiru. Diinonni koo hundinuu rakkina koo dhagaʼaniiru; isaan waan ati gootetti gammadaniiru. Akka isaan akkuma koo taʼaniif maaloo ati guyyaa jette sana fidi.
22 All their evil comes in before You, And one is doing to them as You have done to me, For all my transgressions, For many [are] my sighs, and my heart [is] sick!
“Hamminni isaanii hundinuu fuula kee duratti haa dhiʼaatu; waanuma sababii cubbuu koo hundaatiif natti fidde sana isaanitti illee fidi! Aaduun koo baayʼateeraatii; onneen koos dadhabdeerti.”
