Lamentations 1
1 How is seated alone, the city that abounded with people, hath become as a widow, —She who abounded among the nations was a princess among provinces, hath come under tribute.
A la sèl, vil ki te konn plen moun nan chita sèl! Li vin tankou yon vèv ki te konn byen pwisan pami nasyon yo! Sila ki te konn yon fanm byen gran pami nasyon yo! Li menm ki te yon prensès pami pwovens yo, Koulye a, se travo fòse li oblije fè!
2 She, weepeth sore, in the night, and, her tear, is on her cheek, She hath none to comfort her, of all her lovers, —All her friends, have betrayed her, have become her foes.
Li kriye byen anmè nan nwit lan. Dlo zye li kouri desann figi l. Pami tout sila ki te renmen l yo, nanpwen moun ki pou bay li rekonfò. Tout zanmi li yo fè l trèt; yo te tounen lènmi l.
3 Carried away captive is Judah—because of oppression, and because of great servitude, She, hath remained among the nations, hath found no place of rest, —All her pursuers, have overtaken her, between straits.
Juda antre an egzil anba gwo opresyon; anba esklavaj byen di. Li demere pami nasyon yo; pou repo, nanpwen. Tout sila k ap pesekite l yo, fin sezi li nan mitan gwo twoub li.
4 The ways to Zion, are mourning, because none come to her appointed feasts, All her gates, are desolate, her priests, are sighing, —her virgins, are grieved, and, she, it is bitter for her.
Chemen Sion yo ap fè dèy; pèsòn pa rive nan fèt li yo. Tout pòtay li yo vin dezole. Prèt li yo ap plenn nan gòj, vyèj li yo vin aflije, e li menm, li vin anmè.
5 Her adversaries have become chief, her foes, are at ease, for, Yahweh, hath grieved her, because of the multitude of her transgressions, —Her children, have gone into captivity, before the adversary.
Advèsè li yo te vin mèt li. Lènmi li yo ap byen reyisi; paske SENYÈ a te koze doulè l, akoz gwo kantite transgresyon li yo. Pitit li yo se prizonye devan advèsè yo.
6 Thus hath gone forth from the daughter of Zion, all that adorned her, —Her princes have become like harts that have found no pasture, and have gone strengthless before the pursuer.
Tout majeste fin kite fi a Sion an. Prens li yo vin tankou sèf ki pa t jwenn patiraj. Yo sove ale san rezistans devan mèt lachas la.
7 Jerusalem hath remembered in the days of her humiliation and her fleeings—all her precious things, which have existed from the days of old, —Now that her people have been falling into the hand of the adversary, with none to help her, the adversaries have seen her, have mocked over her sabbath-keepings.
Jérusalem sonje tout bagay presye li yo nan jou afliksyon li. Tout bèl bagay ki te la depi nan jou ansyen yo; lè pèp li a te tonbe nan men a advèsè a, e pat gen okenn ki pou ede l. Advèsè yo te wè l. Yo te giyonnen l akoz tristes li.
8 Jerusalem, hath grievously sinned, For this cause, unto exile, hath she been delivered, —All who used to honour her, have despised her, for they have descried her unseemliness, yea, she herself, hath sighed, and turned back.
Jérusalem te fè gwo peche. Konsa, li te vin yon bagay ki pa pwòp. Tout sila ki te konn louwe l yo, meprize l akoz yo te wè li toutouni. Menm li menm plenn nan gòj, e vire an ayè.
9 Her impurity, is in her skirts, She hath not remembered her hereafter, Therefore hath she come down wonderfully, none to comfort her, —Behold, O Yahweh, my humiliation, that the foe, hath made himself great.
Depi nan jip li, salte a te la. Li pa t konsidere davni li. Akoz sa li te vin tonbe yon fason etonan. Napwan moun pou konsole l. “Gade, O SENYÈ, afliksyon mwen an; paske ènmi an vante tèt. Li vin ògeye!”
10 His hand, hath the adversary spread out, over all her precious things, —for she saw that, the nations, entered her sanctuary, as to whom thou didst command they should not enter—in the convocation—unto thee!
Advèsè a te lonje men l sou tout bagay presye fi a te genyen; li te wè ènmi yo antre nan sanktyè li a; sila ke Ou menm te kòmande pou yo pa antre nan asanble Ou a.
11 All her people, are sighing, seeking bread, They have given their precious things for food, to bring back life, —Behold, O Yahweh, and discern, that I have become worthless.
Tout pèp li a plenn nan gòj. Yap chache pen. Tout sa ak valè deja vèse bay pou manje, pou kenbe nanm yo vivan an. “Gade, O SENYÈ, paske mwen vin meprize.”
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Look around and see, whether there is pain like my pain, which is severely dealt out to me, —in that Yahweh, hath caused grief, in the day of the glow of his anger?
Èske sa pa anyen pou nou tout ki pase nan wout sa a? Gade pou wè si genyen yon doulè ki tankou doulè mwen an, doulè ki te pase vin nan men m nan, avèk sila SENYÈ a te aflije m nan jou a gran kòlè Li a.
13 From on high, sent he fire, among my bones, and laid them prostrate, —He spread out a net for my feet, he made me turn back, he made me desolate, all the day, faint.
Soti anwo, Li te voye dife antre nan zo m, e lap dominen yo. Li te ouvri yon pèlen pou pye m; Li te fè m vire fè bak. Li te fè m vin dezole, fèb tout lajounen.
14 The yoke of my transgressions, hath been bound, by his hand—They have intertwined themselves, have come up on my neck, it hath paralysed my strength, —My Lord, hath delivered me, into the hands of those against whom I cannot rise up.
Jouk transgresyon mwen yo vin mare; ak men Li yo koude nèt ansanm. Yo te rive jis nan kou m; Li te fè fòs mwen vin kraze disparèt. Senyè a te livre m nan men a sila yo; kont yo, mwen pa ka kanpe.
15 My Lord, hath flouted at all my magnates, in my midst, He hath called against me a host, to crush my young men, —A winepress, hath My Lord trodden, to the virgin, the daughter of Judah.
Senyè a te rejte tout mesye pwisan ki nan mitan m yo. Li te rele yon asanble solanèl kont mwen pou kraze jennonm mwen yo. Senyè a te foule, konsi se nan yon pèz rezen, fi vyèj a Juda a.
16 For these things, am, I, weeping, Mine eye, mine eye, is running down with waters, for, far from me, is any who could comfort, could bring back my life, —My sons are amazed, for strong is the foe.
Pou bagay sa yo, mwen ap kriye. Zye m koule ak dlo. Konsolatè kap refreshi nanm mwen lwen m, Nanpwen okenn ki ta ka konsole mwen, okenn ki ta ka restore nanm mwen. Pitit mwen yo vin dezole akoz ènmi an te vin genyen.
17 Zion, hath spread forth, her hands, there is none to comfort her, Yahweh, hath given command, respecting Jacob, unto them who surround him—his adversaries, —Jerusalem, hath become as a removed woman, in their midst.
Sion lonje men l ouvri nèt. Nanpwen ki pou konsole l. SENYÈ a te bay lòd konsènan Jacob, ke sila ki antoure l yo ta lènmi avè l. Jérusalem te devni yon bagay pa pwòp pami yo.
18 Righteous is Yahweh, for, against his bidding, had I rebelled, —Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men, have gone into exile.
SENYÈ a jis; paske mwen te fè rebèl kont lòd Li. Tande koulye a, tout pèp yo e gade byen doulè m nan. Vyèj mwen yo ak jennonm mwen yo te antre an kaptivite.
19 I called to my lovers, they, deceived me, My priests and mine elders, in the city, have breathed their last, —for they sought them food, that they might bring back their life.
Mwen te rele vè renmen mwen yo, men yo te fè m desi. Prèt mwen yo ak ansyen mwen yo te peri nan vil la pandan yo t ap chache manje pou restore fòs yo pou kont yo.
20 See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress, Mine inward parts, are in ferment, My heart is turned within me, for I have obstinately rebelled, —Without, bereaveth the sword, Within, is like death,
Gade, O SENYÈ, paske mwen nan gwo twoub. Lespri m twouble anpil; kè m boulvèse anndan m, paske mwen te fè rebèl anpil. Nan lari, se nepe k ap touye; nan kay, se tankou lanmò.
21 They have heard—that, sighing am, I, [and am saying] —There is none to comfort me, All my foes, —having heard of my calamity—have rejoiced, because, thou, hast done it, —thou hast brought in the day thou didst proclaim, So let them become like me.
Yo te tande ke m ap plenyen nan gòj; men nanpwen ki pou konsole m. Tout lènmi mwen yo tande afè gwo malè m nan. Yo kontan Ou te fè sa. O ke Ou ta mennen jou ke Ou te pwoklame a, pou yo ka vin tankou mwen.
22 Let all their wickedness, come in, before thee, and deal thou severely with them, according as thou hast dealt severely with me, for all my transgressions; for many are my sighs, and, my heart, is sick.
Kite tout mechanste yo vini devan Ou. Konsa, aji avèk yo kon Ou te aji avè m nan, pou tout transgresyon mwen yo. Paske plent k ap sòti anndan m yo anpil e kè m vin fèb nèt.
