Lamentations 2
1 [ALEPH-BET] How the Lord clouds in His anger the daughter of Zion, He has cast from the heavens [to] earth the beauty of Israel, And has not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger.
Gooftaan akkamitti duumessa dheekkamsa isaatiin intala Xiyoon haguuge! Inni ulfina Israaʼel samiidhaa lafatti gad daddarbateera; inni guyyaa dheekkamsa isaatti ejjeta miilla isaa hin yaadanne.
2 The Lord has swallowed up, He has not pitied any of the pleasant places of Jacob, He has broken down in His wrath The fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He has caused to come to the earth, He defiled the kingdom and its princes.
Gooftaan gara laafina tokko malee iddoo jireenya Yaaqoob hunda liqimseera; daʼannoo intala Yihuudaas dheekkamsa isaatiin diige. Inni mootummaa isheetii fi bulchitoota ishee salphisee lafatti gad deebise.
3 He has cut off in the heat of anger every horn of Israel, He has turned backward His right hand From the face of the enemy, And He burns against Jacob as a flaming fire, It has devoured all around.
Inni dheekkamsa sodaachisaadhaan gaanfa Israaʼel hunda caccabse. Yommuu diinni dhiʼaatettis harka isaa mirgaa duubatti deebifate. Inni akkuma arraba ibiddaa kan waan naannoo isaa jiru gubu sanaa Yaaqoob keessatti bobaʼe.
4 He has bent His bow as an enemy, His right hand has stood as an adversary, And He slays all the desirable ones of the eye, In the tent of the daughter of Zion, He has poured out as fire His fury.
Inni akkuma diinaatti iddaa isaa dabsate; harki isaa mirgaa qophaaʼeera. Warra ijatti bareedan hunda akkuma amajaajiitti qale; dunkaana intala Xiyoonitti dheekkamsa isaa akkuma ibiddaa roobse.
5 The Lord has been as an enemy, He has swallowed up Israel, He has swallowed up all her palaces, He has destroyed His fortresses, And He multiplies in the daughter of Judah Mourning and moaning.
Gooftaan akkuma diinaa taʼe; inni Israaʼelin liqimseera. Inni masaraawwan ishee hunda liqimsee daʼannoo ishee jabaa illee diigeera. Inni Intala Yihuudaatti booʼichaa fi faaruu booʼichaa baayʼiseera.
6 And He shakes as a garden His dwelling place, He has destroyed His appointed place, YHWH has forgotten in Zion the appointed time and Sabbath, And despises, in the indignation of His anger, king and priest.
Inni lafa jireenya isaa akkuma iddoo biqiltuu onseera; iddoo wal gaʼii isaas balleesseera. Waaqayyo akka Xiyoon ayyaana ishee kan murtaaʼee fi Sanbatoota ishee irraanfattu godheera; inni dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sanaan moototaa fi luboota akka malee tuffate.
7 The Lord has cast off His altar, He has rejected His sanctuary, He has shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of YHWH Like a day of appointment.
Gooftaan iddoo aarsaa isaa tuffateera; iddoo qulqulluu isaa illee dhiiseera. Dallaawwan masaraawwan ishee dabarsee harka diinotaatti kenneera; isaan akkuma guyyaa ayyaana murteeffameetti mana Waaqayyoo keessatti sagalee ol fudhatanii iyyan.
8 YHWH has devised to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He has stretched out a line, He has not turned His hand from destroying, And He causes bulwark and wall to mourn, Together—they have been weak.
Waaqayyo dallaa naannoo Intala Xiyoon jiru diiguuf murteesseera. Inni safartuu diriirseera; barbadeessuu irraas harka isaa hin deebifanne. Akka dallaan eegumsaatii fi keenyan faarsanii booʼan godhe; isaanis tokkummaadhaan badan.
9 Sunk into the earth have her gates, He has destroyed and broken her bars, Her king and her princes [are] among the nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found vision from YHWH.
Karrawwan ishee lafa keessa dhidhimaniiru; inni danqaraawwan sibiila ishee caccabsee balleesseera. Mootiin isheetii fi ilmaan mootota ishee boojiʼamanii saboota gidduu bibittinnaaʼaniiru; seerri siʼachi hin jiraatu; raajonni ishees siʼachi Waaqayyo biraa mulʼata hin argan.
10 Sit on the earth—[the] elderly of Zion’s daughter keep silent, They have caused dust to go up on their head, They have girded on sackcloth, The virgins of Jerusalem have Put their head down to the earth.
Maanguddoonni Intala Xiyoon calʼisanii lafa tataaʼan; isaan daaraa mataatti firfirfatanii uffata gaddaas uffatan. Shamarran Yerusaalem mataa isaanii gad qabatan.
11 My eyes have been consumed by tears, My bowels have been troubled, My liver has been poured out to the earth, For the breach of the daughter of my people; In infant and suckling being feeble, In the broad places of the city,
Iji koo booʼichaan dadhabeera; keessa kootti dhiphadheera; sababii sabni koo dhumeef sababii ijoollee fi daaʼimman daandiiwwan magaalaa irratti gaggabaniif garaan koo gaddaan laafeera.
12 To their mothers they say, “Where [are] grain and wine?” In their becoming feeble as a pierced one In the broad places of the city, In their soul pouring itself out into the bosom of their mothers.
Isaan yommuu daandiiwwan magaalaa irratti akkuma namoota madaaʼaniitti gaggabanitti, yommuu lubbuun isaanii hammuu haadha isaanii irratti baʼuuf jirtutti “Buddeennii fi daadhiin wayinii eessaa jiru?” jedhanii haadhota isaanii gaafatu.
13 What do I testify [to] you, what do I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? What do I equal to you, and I comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as a sea [is] your breach, Who gives healing to you?
Yaa intala Yerusaalem, ani maal siif jechuun dandaʼa? Maaliinan wal si qixxeessa? Yaa Intala Xiyoon durba qulqullittii ani akkan si jajjabeessuuf maalittin si fakkeessuu dandaʼa? Madaan kee akkuma galaanaa gad fagoo dha. Eenyutu si fayyisuu dandaʼa?
14 Your prophets have seen for you a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning your iniquity, To return your captivity, And they see for you false burdens and causes of expulsion.
Mulʼanni raajota keetii sobaa fi kan faayidaa hin qabnee dha; isaan boojiʼamuu kee hambisuuf cubbuu kee ifa hin baafne. Raajiin isaan siif kennanis sobaa fi kan karaa irraa nama balleessuu dha.
15 Everyone passing by the way clapped hands at you, They have hissed—and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?”
Warri karaa keetiin darban hundinuu harka isaanii sitti rurrukutu; isaanis intala Yerusaalemitti qoosuu fi mataa raasuudhaan, “Magaalaan muummee miidhaginaa gammachuu guutuu lafaa jedhamtee waamamte sun kanaa?” jedhu.
16 Opened against you their mouth have all your enemies, They have hissed, indeed, they gnash the teeth, They have said: “We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we looked for, We have found—we have seen.”
Diinonni kee hundinuu afaan isaanii sitti banatu; isaan qoosuu fi ilkaan isaanii qaruudhaan “Nu ishee liqimsineerra. Guyyaan nu eeggachaa turre sun kanaa dha; nu waan kana arguuf jiraanneerra” jedhu.
17 YHWH has done that which He devised, He has fulfilled His saying That He commanded from the days of old, He has broken down and has not pitied, And causes an enemy to rejoice over you, He lifted up the horn of your adversaries.
Waaqayyo waan karoorfate hojjeteera; dubbii isaa kan bara dheeraan dura dubbate sana guuttateera. Inni gara laafina tokko malee si garagalcheera; akka diinni kee sitti gammadu godheera; gaanfa amajaajii keetii ol ol qabeera.
18 Their heart has cried to the Lord; O wall of the daughter of Zion, Cause to go down tears as a stream daily and nightly, do not give rest to yourself, Do not let the daughter of your eye stand still.
Onneen namootaa gara Gooftaatti iyya. Yaa dallaa Intala Xiyoon halkanii guyyaa imimmaan kee akka lagaa haa yaaʼu; boqonnaa tokko illee ofii keetiif hin kennin; iji kees hin boqotin.
19 Arise, cry aloud in the night, At the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart as water, Before the face of the Lord, Lift up to Him your hands, for the soul of your infants, Who are feeble with hunger at the head of all out-places.
Yommuu eegumsi halkanii jalqabutti kaʼiitii halkaniin iyyi; fuula Gooftaa duratti onnee kee akka bishaanii dhangalaasi. Lubbuu ijoollee keetii kanneen fiixee daandii hundaatti beelaan gaggabaniitiif jedhiitii harka kee gara isaatti ol qabadhu.
20 See, O YHWH, and look attentively, To whom You have acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth? Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and prophet?
“Yaa Waaqayyo, ati ilaali; argis: Ati takkumaa eenyu irratti waan akkasii gootee beekta? Haadhonni daaʼimman isaanii, ijoollee kunuunsanii guddisan nyaachuu qabuu? Lubnii fi raajiin, iddoo qulqulluu kan Gooftaa keessatti ajjeefamuu qabuu?
21 Lain on the earth [in] out-places have young and old, My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword, You have slain in a day of Your anger, You have slaughtered—You have not pitied.
“Dargaggoonnii fi maanguddoonni, walii wajjin awwaara karaa irra ciisu; dargaggoonnii fi shamarran koo goraadeedhaan ajjeefamaniiru. Ati gaafa dheekkamsa keetiitti isaan fixxe; gara laafina tokko malee isaan qalte.
22 You call as [at] a day of appointment, My fears from all around, And there has not been in the day of the anger of YHWH, An escaped and remaining one, They whom I stretched out and nourished, My enemy has consumed!
“Ati akkuma guyyaa ayyaana murteeffameetti nama waamtutti qixa hundaanuu sodaa natti waamte. Guyyaa dheekkamsa Waaqayyootti, homaa hin miliqne yookaan hin hafne; warra ani daʼee guddise diinni koo na jalaa balleesseera.”
