< Lamentations 2 >

1 How! he covers with a cloud in anger his - [the] Lord [the] daughter of Zion he has thrown from heaven earth [the] splendor of Israel and not he has remembered [the] footstool of feet his in [the] day of anger his.
Gade kijan Senyè a te kouvri fi a Sion an ak yon nwaj nan kòlè li! Li te jete soti nan syèl la, jis rive atè glwa Israël la. Li pa t menm sonje machpye pa L la, nan jou kòlè Li.
2 He has swallowed up [the] Lord (and not *Q(K)*) he has spared all [the] settlements of Jacob he has torn down in wrath his [the] fortifications of [the] daughter of Judah he has made [them] touch the ground he has profaned [the] kingdom and princes its.
Senyè a te vale tout nèt. Li pa t epanye tout abitasyon Jacob yo. Nan gwo chalè Li, Li te jete sitadèl fi a Juda a. Li te bese yo nèt jis rive atè. Li te pwofane wayòm nan ak tout prens li yo.
3 He has cut off (in [the] heat of *L(abh)*) anger every horn of Israel he has turned back backward right [hand] his from before [the] enemy and he has burned Jacob like a fire of flame [which] it has consumed all around.
Nan gwo chalè, Li te koupe tout fòs Israël la. Li te retire men dwat Li soti devan lènmi an. Konsa, Li te brile Jacob tankou flanm dife ki konsome toupatou.
4 He has bent bow his like an enemy [he has] taken a stand right [hand] his like an opponent and he has killed all [the] delights of eye in [the] tent of [the] daughter of Zion he has poured out like fire rage his.
Li te koube banza Li kon yon lènmi. Li te poze men dwat li konsi se yon advèsè. Konsa, Li te touye tout ki bèl pou gade. Nan tant a fi a Sion an, Li te vin vide gwo kòlè Li tankou dife.
5 He has become [the] Lord - like an enemy he has swallowed up Israel he has swallowed up all palaces its he has ruined fortifications its and he has multiplied in [the] daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Senyè a vin tankou yon lènmi. Li te vale Israël nèt. Li te vale tout palè li yo. Li te detwi sitadèl li yo. Li te miltipliye doulè yo ak plent yo nan fi a Juda yo.
6 And he has treated violently like garden booth his he has ruined appointed place his he has caused to be forgotten Yahweh - in Zion appointed feast and sabbath and he has spurned in [the] indignation of anger his king and priest.
Ak vyolans, Li te aji sou tanp Li an, konsi se yon tonèl jaden. Li te detwi kote ke Li menm te deziye pou asanble yo. SENYÈ a te fè bliye tout jou fèt ak Saba Sion yo, e Li te meprize ni wa a, ni prèt la nan gwo kòlè Li a.
7 He has rejected [the] Lord - altar his he has repudiated sanctuary his he has delivered up in [the] hand of an enemy [the] walls of palaces its voice people have given forth in [the] house of Yahweh like [the] day of an appointed feast.
Senyè a te rejte lotèl Li a. Li te abandone sanktyè Li a. Li te livre nan men lènmi an, miray a palè li yo. Yo te fè yon bri nan kay SENYÈ a, konsi li ta nan yon jou fèt deziye.
8 He has planned Yahweh - to destroy [the] wall of [the] daughter of Zion he has stretched out a measuring-line not he has turned back hand his from swallowing up and he has caused to mourn rampart and wall together they have languished.
SENYÈ a te pran desizyon pou detwi miray a fi a Sion an. Li te lonje yon lign. Li pa t ralanti men l nan destriksyon. Li te fè ni ranpa, ni miray la plen tristès; y ap kriye ansanm.
9 They have sunk in the ground gates its he has destroyed and he has broken bars its king its and princes its [are] among the nations there not [is] instruction also prophets its not they have found a vision from Yahweh.
Pòtay li yo te fonse antre nan tè, Li te detwi e kraze fè fòje a. Wa li yo ak prens li yo vin gaye pami nasyon yo; lalwa, nanpwen ankò. Anplis, pwofèt li yo pa resevwa vizyon de SENYÈ a.
10 They sit to the ground they are silent [the] elders of [the] daughter of Zion they have caused to rise dust on head their they have girded on sackcloth they have brought down to the ground head their [the] virgins of Jerusalem.
Ansyen a fi a Sion yo chita atè. Yo rete an silans. Yo te jete pousyè sou tèt yo. Yo abiye yo ak twal sak. Vyèj Jérusalem yo fin bese tèt yo jis a tè a.
11 They have failed by tears eyes my they are in turmoil inward parts my it has been poured out to the ground liver my on [the] brokenness of [the] daughter of people my because faint child and suckling-child in [the] open places of a town.
Zye m gate akoz dlo k ap sòti ladann, lespri m vin nan gwo twoub; kè m vin vide atè nèt, akoz fi a pèp mwen an vin detwi e timoun ak tibebe yo ap fennen nan lari vil la.
12 To mothers their they say where? [are] grain and wine when faint away they like [one] fatally wounded in [the] open places of a city when pours itself out life their to [the] bosom of mothers their.
Yo mande manman yo: “Kote sereyal ak diven an?” Konsa, yo fennen tankou yon nonm ki blese nan lari vil yo, pandan lavi yo menm vin vide nan sen manman yo.
13 What? will I testify for you what? will I liken to you O daughter of Jerusalem what? will I make equal to you so I may comfort you O virgin of [the] daughter of Zion for [is] great like the sea brokenness your who? will he heal you.
Kisa pou m ta di ou? A kilès pou m ta konpare ou, O fi Jérusalem nan? A kisa pou m ta di ou sanble pandan mwen ap mennen rekonfò bay ou a, O fi vyèj a Sion an? Paske destriksyon ou an vast tankou lanmè. Se kilès ki ka geri ou?
14 Prophets your they have seen for you worthlessness and sham and not they have made known on iniquity your to turn back (captivity your *Q(k)*) and they have seen for you oracles of worthlessness and enticement.
Pwofèt ou yo te wè pou ou vizyon ki te fo; ki te plen foli. Yo pa t dekouvri inikite ou pou restore ou sòti an kaptivite, men yo te wè pou ou vizyon pòt pawòl ki te fo, ki te egare ou.
15 They have clapped on you hands all [those who] pass by of [the] road they have hissed and they have shaken head their on [the] daughter of Jerusalem ¿ [is] this the city that people said perfect of beauty a joy to all the earth.
Tout moun ki pase akote chemen an bat men yo pou moke ou. Yo sifle anlè kon koulèv sou fi Jérusalem nan, epi yo di: “Men èske se vil sa a yo te konn rele ‘pèfeksyon a bèlte a, yon jwa de tout tè a’?”
16 They have opened on you mouth their all enemies your they have hissed and they have gnashed a tooth they said we have swallowed up surely this [is] the day that we have waited for it we have found we have seen.
Tout lènmi ou yo te louvri bouch yo laj kont ou. Yo sifle anlè kon koulèv. Yo fwote dan yo. Yo di: “Nou te vale l nèt! Anverite, se jou sa ke nou t ap tann nan. Nou gen tan jwenn li. Nou gen tan wè l.”
17 He has done Yahweh what he purposed he has fulfilled word his which he commanded from days of antiquity he has torn down and not he has spared and he has caused to rejoice on you an enemy he has lifted up [the] horn of opponents your.
SENYÈ a te acheve objektif Li; Li te akonpli pawòl Li, pawòl ke Li te kòmande soti nan jou ansyen yo. Li te jete ba, Li pat fè pitye. Li te fè lènmi an rejwi sou ou. Li te egzalte pwisans a advèsè ou yo.
18 It has cried out heart their to [the] Lord O wall of [the] daughter of Zion send down like river tear[s] by day and night may not you give rest to yourself may not it be still [the] daughter of eye your.
Kè yo te kriye fò a Senyè a. O miray a fi Sion an, kite dlo sòti nan zye ou lajounen kon lannwit. Pa aksepte okenn soulajman; 'Pa kite zye ou pran repo.
19 Arise - cry out (in the night *Q(K)*) to [the] head of [the] night-watches pour out like water heart your before [the] presence of [the] Lord lift up to him hands your on [the] life children your the ones enfeebled by hunger at [the] head of all [the] streets.
Leve, kriye fò nan nwit lan, nan kòmansman vèy nwit lan! Vide kè ou konsi se dlo devan prezans Senyè a. Leve men ou a Li menm pou lavi pitit ou yo ki fèb nèt ak grangou sou tèt a tout ri yo.
20 See O Yahweh and look! to whom? have you dealt severely thus? will they eat women descendant[s] their children of health or? will he be killed in [the] sanctuary of [the] Lord priest and prophet.
Gade pou wè, O SENYÈ! Avèk kilès ou te aji konsa? Èske fanm ta dwe manje pwòp pitit pa yo, pitit yo ki te fèt an bòn sante? Èske prèt la ak pwofèt la dwe vin touye nan sanktyè Senyè a?
21 They have lain down to the ground streets youth and old [person] young women my and young men my they have fallen by the sword you have killed in [the] day of anger your you have slaughtered not you have spared.
Sou tè nan lari yo, kouche jenn yo ak granmoun yo. Vyèj mwen yo ak jennonm mwen yo te tonbe sou nepe. Ou te touye yo nan jou gwo kòlè Ou a; Ou te fè masak, san pitye.
22 You have summoned like [the] day of an appointed feast terrors my from round about and not he was in [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh an escapee and a survivor [those] whom I had given birth and I had reared enemy my he has made an end of them.
Ou te rele nou konsi se nan jou a yon fèt etabli, gwo laperèz mwen yo tout kote. Nanpwen moun ki te chape sòti vivan nan jou kòlè SENYÈ a. Sila ke m te fè e leve yo, lènmi m te anile yo nèt.
