Lamentations 2
1 How YHWH 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.
Kor hev Herren i sin vreide sveipt Sions dotter i myrkeskodda! Han kasta frå himmelen ned til jordi Israels herlegdom, og han kom ikkje i hug sin fotskammel på sin vreide-dag.
2 YHWH 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.
Utan nåde lagde Herren i øyde alle Jakobs bustader. I sin vreide reiv han ned for dotteri Juda hennar sterke borger og kasta deim til jordi. Han vanhelga riket og hovdingarne.
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.
I sin brennande vreide hogg han av alle Israels horn; han drog si høgre hand attende, endå fienden var der. Han brende Jakob lik ein eldsloge som øyder rundt ikring.
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.
Han spente sin boge som ein fiend’, med si høgre hand stod han fram som ein motstandar og drap alt våre augo hadde hugnad i. I tjeldet åt Sions dotter auste han ut sin vreide som ein eld.
5 YHWH 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.
Herren er vorten som ein fiend’, han hev lagt Israel i øyde, lagt alle hennar slott i øyde, gjort tjon på hennar borgar; so hev han dunga i hop på dotteri Juda sorg og sut.
6 He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. YHWH has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.
Og han hev brote ned som av ein hage sin gard, øydelagt sin samlingsstad. Herren hev late både høgtid og kviledag verta avgløymde i Sion, og støytt ifrå seg konge og prest i sin harmfulle vreide.
7 YHWH 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 YHWH, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
Herren forsmådde sitt altar, stygdest ved sin heilagdom. Murarne kring hennar slott gav han i fiendevald. Dei let si røysti ljoma i Herrens hus som på ein høgtidsdag.
8 YHWH 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.
Herren etla øydeleggja muren for Sions dotter. Han strekte ut si mælesnor og heldt ikkje handi si att frå herjing. Og han let voll og mur syrgja; ormegta ligg dei der i lag.
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 YHWH.
Dei er sokne i jord, hennar portar, han hev brote og krasa hennar stengslor; hennar kongar og hovdingar er hjå heidningfolki, det bid ikkje meir nokor lov. Hennar profetar hev ikkje heller fenge nokor syn frå Herren.
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.
Dei sit på jordi tegjande, styresmennerne åt Sions dotter; dust hev dei drust uppi kruna, gyrdt seg med sekk. Dei luter mot jord sine hovud Jerusalems-møyarne.
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.
Mine augo talmast av tåror, det syd inni bringa og barm, og livri hev runne til jordi - for tjonet på mitt folks dotter; for born, jamvel sogborn vanmegtast på gatorne i byen.
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.
Dei ropa til møderne sine: «Kvar er korn og vin?» vanmegtast som gjenomstungne på gatorne i byen då dei andast ved modersbarm.
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?
Kva skal eg vitna for deg, kva skal eg likna deg attåt, du Jerusalems dotter? kva likning skal eg finna fram åt deg til å trøysta deg med, du møy, Sions dotter? For stor som eit hav er din skade, kven kann lækja deg?
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.
Dine profetar såg deg syner med fåfengd og dårskap; dei hev ikkje synt deg di misgjerning, so dine fangar kunde koma attende, men dei såg deg syner, fulle med fåfengd og forføringar.
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'?"
Dei slær henderne i hop yver deg, alle som gjeng vegen framum. Dei blistrar og rister på hovudet yver Jerusalems dotter: «Er dette byen som dei kalla «den storfagre», «ei frygd for all jordi»?»
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."
Dei spilar upp i mot deg sitt gap alle dine fiendar, blistrar og bit i hop tenner; dei segjer: «Me hev gløypt henne. Ja, dette er den dagen me stunda på; me fekk då liva og sjå den dagen.»
17 YHWH 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.
Herren hev gjort det han hadde tenkt, hev fullført sitt ord, den rådgjerdi han tok alt i forne dagar; han hev rive ned utan nåde, og han let fienden frygda seg yver deg, let dine uvener bera hornet høgt.
18 Their heart cried to YHWH. 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.
Hjarto deira ropar til Herren. Du mur kring Sions dotter, du strigråte dag og natt! Unn deg ikkje kvild! Gjev ikkje din augnestein ro!
19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of YHWH. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
Statt upp, ropa høgt um natti, når nattevaktene tek til! Renn ut som vatn ditt hjarta framfor Herrens åsyn! Lyft upp til honom dine hender til livsens frelsa for dine born, som vanmegtast av svolt på kvart gatemot!
20 Look, YHWH, 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 YHWH?
Sjå, Herre, og skoda etter! Kven annan for du åt soleis? Skal kvende sitt avkjøme eta, småborn, som på armar dei ber? Skal ein slå i Herrens heilagdom prest og profet i hel?
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.
På jordi i gatorne ligg ung og gamall. Mine møyar og gutar er falne for sverd. Du slo i hel på din vreide-dag, du slagta utan nåde.
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 YHWH's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
Du kalla som på ein høgtidsdag rædslor mot meg alle stader ifrå; og på Herrens vreide-dag fanst det ingen som vart berga og slapp undan. Deim eg hev bore på armar og ale upp, hev min fiende tynt.
