Lamentations 1
1 How! - she sits alone the city great of people she has become like a widow ([one] great *L(abh)*) among the nations a princess among the provinces she has become forced labor.
Ko, muguta zvamusisina vanhu, iro rakanga rizere navanhu! Zvarangova sechirikadzi, iro rakanga riri guru pakati pendudzi! Iro rakanga riri mambokadzi pakati penyika, zvino rava nhapwa.
2 Bitterly she weeps in the night and tear[s] her [are] on cheek her not [belongs] to her a comforter from all lovers her all friends her they have dealt treacherously with her they have become of her enemies.
Rinochema zvikuru usiku, misodzi iri pamatama aro. Pakati pavadiwa varo vose hakuna anorivaraidza. Shamwari dzaro dzose dzarimukira; dzava vavengi varo.
3 She has gone into exile Judah from affliction and from an abundance of servitude her she dwells among the nations not she has found a resting place all pursuers her they have overtaken her between the narrow places.
Shure kwokutambudzika nokushanda zvakaomarara, Judha akaenda kuutapwa. Anogara pakati pendudzi; haawani nzvimbo yokuzorora. Vose vaimudzinganisa vakamubata ari pakati pokutambudzika kwake.
4 [the] roads of Zion [are] mourning because not [those who] come an appointed feast all gates her [are] desolate priests her [are] groaning virgins her [are] grieving and she it is bitter to her.
Nzira dzinoenda kuZioni dzinochema, nokuti hakuna anouya kumitambo yaro yakatarwa. Masuo aro ose haasisina vanhu, vaprista varo vanogomera, varandakadzi varo vanochema, uye iro riri pakurwadziwa kukuru.
5 They have become opponents her a head enemies her they are at ease for Yahweh he has caused grief to her on [the] multitude of transgressions her children her they have gone captivity before an opponent.
Vavengi varo ndivo vava vatongi varo; vavengi varo vagere zvakanaka, Jehovha akarivigira kutambudzika nokuda kwezvivi zvaro zvizhinji. Vana varo vakaenda kuutapwa, vava nhapwa pamberi pavavengi.
6 And it has gone out (from from [the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Zion all splendor her they have become princes her like deer [which] not they have found pasture and they have gone with not strength before a pursuer.
Kuyevedza kwose kwabva paMwanasikana weZioni. Machinda aro aita senondo dzashayiwa mafuro. Mukushayiwa simba vakatiza pamberi peanovadzinganisa.
7 She has remembered Jerusalem [the] days of affliction her and homelessness her all precious things her which they were from days of antiquity when fell people her in [the] hand of an opponent and not a helper [belonged] to her they saw her opponents they laughed at annihilation her.
Mumazuva okutambudzika nokudzungaira kwaro, Jerusarema rinorangarira pfuma yose yakanga iri yaro pamazuva akare. Pakawira vanhu varo mumaoko omuvengi, rakashaya anoribatsira. Vavengi varo vakaritarisa, vakariseka pakuparadzwa kwaro.
8 Sin she has sinned Jerusalem there-fore impurity she has become all [those who] honored her they despise her for they have seen nakedness her also she has groaned and she has turned away backward.
Jerusarema rakatadza zvikuru kwazvo, naizvozvo rasvibiswa. Vose vairikudza vorizvidza, nokuti vakaona kushama kwaro; iro pacharo rinogomera, richidzokera shure.
9 Uncleanness her [was] on skirts her not she remembered outcome her and she has come down wonders not a comforter [belonged] to her see O Yahweh affliction my for it has magnified itself [the] enemy.
Tsvina yaro yakanamatira panguo dzaro; harina kurangarira ramangwana raro. Kuwa kwaro kwakashamisa; hakuna akarinyaradza. “Haiwa Jehovha, tarirai kurwadziwa kwangu, nokuti muvengi akunda.”
10 Hand his he has spread out [the] opponent over all precious things her for it saw nations [which] they went sanctuary its which you had commanded not they will come in the assembly of you.
Muvengi akatora pfuma yaro yose; rakaona ndudzi dzechihedheni dzichipinda panzvimbo yaro tsvene, avo vamakanga madzivisa kupinda paungano yenyu.
11 All people its [are] groaning [are] seeking bread they have given (precious things their *Q(K)*) for food to restore life see O Yahweh and look! for I am despised.
Vanhu varo vose vanogomera pavanotsvaka chingwa; vanotsinhanisa pfuma yavo nezvokudya kuti vazviraramise. “Tarirai, imi Jehovha, uye murangarire, nokuti ndava munhu akazvidzwa.”
12 Not to you O all [those who] pass by of [the] road look and see if there [is] pain like pain my which it has been done to me which he has caused grief Yahweh on [the] day of [the] burning of anger his.
“Hamuna hanya here, imi mose munopfuura? Tarirai pose pose muone. Pano kutambudzika sokutambudzika kwangu here, kwakaiswa pamusoro pangu, kwakauyiswa naJehovha pamusoro pangu pazuva rokutsamwa kwake kunotyisa?
13 From a high place he sent fire in bones my and he mastered it he spread out a net for feet my he made turn back me backward he made me desolate all the day faint.
“Akatuma moto kubva kumusoro-soro, akautumira mumapfupa angu. Akateya makumbo angu nomumbure uye akandidzosera shure. Akandisiya ndisina chinhu, ndikapera simba zuva rose.
14 It has been bound on [the] yoke of transgressions my by hand his they are woven together they have come up on neck my he has made feeble strength my he has given me [the] Lord in [the] hands of [those whom] not I am able to stand.
“Zvivi zvangu zvasungwa zvikaitwa joko; namaoko ake zvakarukirwa pamwe chete, zvauya pamutsipa wangu uye Ishe apedza simba rangu. Akandiisa mumaoko avanhu vandisingagoni kukunda.
15 He has thrown away all mighty [ones] my - [the] Lord in midst my he has proclaimed on me an appointed meeting to break young men my a winepress he has trodden [the] Lord for [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Judah.
“Ishe akaramba mhare dzose dziri pakati pangu; akakokera hondo kuzondirwisa kuzopwanya majaya angu. Ishe akatsika-tsika Mhandara Mwanasikana waJudha muchisviniro chake chewaini.
16 On these [things] - I [am] weeping eye my - eye my [is] going down water for he is far from me a comforter [one who] restores life my they are children my desolate for he has prevailed [the] enemy.
“Ndokusaka ndichichema uye maziso angu achierera misodzi. Hapana ari pedyo kuti andinyaradze, hakuna anovandudza mweya wangu. Vana vangu vari kutambudzika nokuti muvengi akunda.”
17 It has spread out Zion hands its not a comforter [belongs] to it he has commanded Yahweh of Jacob [those] around him [will be] opponents his it has become Jerusalem an impure thing between them.
Zioni rinotambanudza maoko aro, asi hakuna munhu anorinyaradza. Jehovha akaisa chirevo pamusoro paJakobho, kuti vavakidzani vake vave vavengi vake; Jerusarema rava chinhu chisina kunatswa pakati pavo.
18 [is] righteous He Yahweh for mouth his I have been rebellious listen please O all (the peoples *Q(K)*) and see pain my young women my and young men my they have gone in captivity.
“Jehovha akarurama, asi ini ndakamukira murayiro wake. Inzwai, imi vanhu mose; onai kutambudzika kwangu. Majaya angu navarandakadzi vangu vakaenda kuutapwa.
19 I called to lovers my they they deceived me priests my and elders my in the city they perished for they sought food for themselves so they may be restored life their.
“Ndakadana kushamwari dzangu asi vakandipandukira. Vaprista vangu navakuru vangu vakafira muguta, pavakanga vachitsvaka zvokudya kuti vazviraramise.
20 See O Yahweh for distress [belongs] to me inward parts my they are in turmoil it has been overturned heart my in inner being my for extremely I have been rebellious from outside it has bereaved a sword [is] in the house like death.
“Tarirai, imi Jehovha kutambudzika kwangu! Ndiri kurwadziwa mukati mangu, uye ndakakanganisika mumwoyo mangu, nokuti ndakakumukirai zvikuru. Kunze, munondo unondiurayira hama; mukati, munongova norufu.
21 They heard that [was] groaning I not a comforter [belonged] to me all enemies my they heard distress my they rejoiced for you you have acted you have brought [the] day [which] you proclaimed and they may be like me.
“Vanhu vakanzwa kugomera kwangu, asi hakuna anondinyaradza. Vavengi vangu vose vakanzwa kutambura kwangu; vanofara nezvamakaita. Dai mauyisa henyu zuva ramakazivisa kuti vagofanana nemi.
22 May it come all wickedness their before you and deal severely to them just as you have dealt severely to me on all transgressions my for [are] many groaning my and heart my [is] faint.
“Zvakaipa zvavo zvose ngazviuye pamberi penyu; muvaitire sezvamakaita kwandiri nokuda kwezvivi zvangu zvose. Kugomera kwangu kwawanda, uye mwoyo wangu wapera simba.”
