< Lamentations 2 >

1 How the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger. He has cast down from heaven to the earth the splendor of Israel, and hasn't 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 all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground; he has humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.
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 fierce anger all the strength of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the enemy. He has blazed in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours 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 like an enemy; his right hand he has positioned like an adversary. He killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
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 become as an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel; he has swallowed up all her palaces and has destroyed its strongholds. He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
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 He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. The LORD has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.
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 rejected his altar, he has disowned his sanctuary, and has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces. They have made a shout in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
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 The LORD has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
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 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
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 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have cast up dust on their heads; they have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Maanguddoonni Intala Xiyoon calʼisanii lafa tataaʼan; isaan daaraa mataatti firfirfatanii uffata gaddaas uffatan. Shamarran Yerusaalem mataa isaanii gad qabatan.
11 My eyes are worn out from weeping, my stomach is churning. My heart is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants faint in the streets 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 They tell their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" When they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in their mothers' bosom.
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 shall I testify of you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is great like the sea. Who can heal 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 false and deceptive visions. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false and misleading oracles.
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 All that pass by clap their hands at you, they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, "Is this the city that men called 'The perfection of beauty,' 'The joy of the whole earth'?"
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 All your enemies have opened wide their mouth against you. They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, "We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it."
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 The LORD has done that which he purposed, he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to gloat over you and exalted 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 cried to the LORD. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no respite; do not let your tears cease.
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 out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
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 Look, LORD, and see to whom you have done like this. Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the LORD?
“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 The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, without pity.
“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 have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was none that escaped or remained in the day of the LORD's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
“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.”
