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.
¡Cómo oscureció el Señor en su furor a la hija de Sión! derribó del cielo a la tierra la hermosura de Israel, y no se acordó del estrado de sus pies en el día de su furor.
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.
Destruyó el Señor, y no perdonó: destruyó en su furor todas las tiendas de Jacob: echó por tierra las fortalezas de la hija de Judá, contaminó el reino, y sus príncipes.
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.
Cortó con la ira de su furor todo el cuerno de Israel: hizo volver atrás su diestra delante del enemigo; y encendióse en Jacob como llama de fuego, ardió en derredor.
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.
Entesó su arco como enemigo, afirmó su mano derecha como adversario, y mató toda cosa hermosa a la vista en la tienda de la hija de Sión: derramó como fuego su enojo.
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.
Fue el Señor como enemigo: destruyó a Israel, destruyó todos sus palacios: disipó sus fortalezas, y multiplicó en la hija de Judá la tristeza y lamentación.
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.
Y traspasó como de huerto su cabaña, destruyó su congregación: hizo olvidar Jehová en Sión solemnidades y sábados; y desechó en la ira de su furor rey y sacerdote.
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.
Desechó el Señor su altar, menospreció su santuario: entregó en la mano del enemigo los muros de sus palacios: dieron grita en la casa de Jehová como en día de fiesta.
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.
Jehová determinó de destruir el muro de la hija de Sión, extendió el cordel: no retrajo su mano de destruir: enlutóse el antemuro y el muro, fueron destruidos juntamente.
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.
Sus puertas fueron echadas por tierra: destruyó y quebrantó sus cerrojos: su rey, y sus príncipes son llevados entre las gentes: no hay ley: sus profetas tampoco hallaron visión de Jehová.
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.
Asentáronse en tierra, callaron los ancianos de la hija de Sión: echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas, ciñéronse de sacos: las hijas de Jerusalem abajaron sus cabezas a tierra.
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.
Mis ojos se cegaron de lágrimas, rugieron mis entrañas, mi hígado se derramó por tierra por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo, desfalleciendo el niño, y el que mamaba en las plazas de la ciudad.
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.
Decían a sus madres: ¿Dónde está el trigo, y el vino? desfalleciendo como muertos en las calles de la ciudad, derramando sus almas en el regazo de sus madres.
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?
¿Qué testigo te traeré, o a quién te haré semejante, o! hija de Jerusalem? ¿A quién te compararé para consolarte, o! virgen hija de Sión? porque grande es tu quebrantamiento como la mar: ¿quién te medicinará?
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.
Tus profetas te predicaron vanidad e insensatez, y no descubrieron tu pecado para estorbar tu cautiverio: predicáronte profecías vanas, y digresiones.
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'?"
Todos los que pasaban por el camino, batieron las manos sobre ti: silbaron, y movieron sus cabezas sobre la hija de Jerusalem: ¿Es esta la ciudad que decían de perfecta hermosura, el gozo de toda la tierra?
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."
Todos tus enemigos abrieron sobre ti su boca, y silbaron, y batieron los dientes, y dijeron: Traguemos: que cierto este es el día que esperábamos: hallamos lo, vímos lo.
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.
Jehová hizo lo que determinó: cumplió su palabra que él había mandado desde tiempo antiguo: destruyó, y no perdonó, y alegró sobre ti al enemigo; y enalteció el cuerno de tus adversarios.
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.
El corazón de ellos daba voces al Señor: O! muro de la hija de Sión, echa lágrimas como un arroyo día y noche: no descanses; ni cesen las niñas de tus ojos.
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.
Levántate, da voces en la noche, en el principio de las velas: derrama como agua tu corazón delante de la presencia del Señor: alza tus manos a él por la vida de tus pequeñitos que desfallecen de hambre en los principios de todas las calles.
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?
Mira, o! Jehová, y considera a quien has vendimiado así. ¿Comen las mujeres su fruto, los pequeñitos de sus crias? ¿Mátase en el santuario del Señor el sacerdote, y el profeta?
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.
Niños y viejos yacían por tierra por las calles: mis vírgenes y mis mancebos cayeron a cuchillo: mataste en el día de tu furor, degollaste, no perdonaste.
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.
Llamaste, como a día de solemnidad, mis temores de al derredor: ni hubo en el día del furor de Jehová quien escapase, ni quedase vivo: los que crié y mantuve, mi enemigo los acabó.
