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.
Magaalaan dur namaan guutamtee turte sun akkamitti ontee hafte! Isheen yeroo tokko saboota gidduutti guddoo turte akkamitti akka haadha hiyyeessaa taate! Isheen kutaalee biyyaa gidduutti mootii turte sun amma garbittii taateerti.
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.
Isheen halkan halkan hiqqifattee boossi; maddii ishee irra imimmaantu yaaʼa. Michoota ishee hunda keessaa kan ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Michoonni ishee hundinuu ishee gananiiru; isaan diinota ishee taʼaniiru.
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.
Rakkinaa fi cunqurfama guddaa booddee Yihuudaan boojiʼamtee fudhatamteerti. Isheen saboota gidduu jiraatti, lafa itti boqottu illee hin arganne. Warri ishee ariʼan hundi rakkina ishee keessatti ishee qabatan.
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.
Daandiiwwan Xiyoon ni booʼu; namni ayyaana ishee kan murteeffame kabajuuf dhufu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii. Karrawwan ishee hundi onanii jiru; luboonni ishee ni aadu; shamarran ishee ni gaddu, isheenis dhiphina guddaa keessa jirti.
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.
Amajaajonni ishee gooftota ishee taʼaniiru; diinota isheetti toleera. Sababii cubbuu ishee baayʼee sanaatiif Waaqayyo gadda itti fideera. Ijoolleen ishee fudhatamanii deemaniiru; fuula amajaajota ishee duratti boojiʼamaniiru.
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.
Intala Xiyoon irraa miidhaginni hundi fudhatameera. Ilmaan mootota ishee akkuma gadamsa lafa dheedaa dhabee taʼaniiru; isaan dadhabbiidhaan fuula warra isaan ariʼanii dura baqatan.
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.
Baroota rakkinaa fi asii achi jooruu ishee keessa Yerusaalem qabeenya bara durii kan ishee ture hunda ni yaadatti. Yeroo namoonni ishee harka diinaa seenanitti namni ishee gargaaru tokko iyyuu hin turre. Diinonni ishee ishee ilaalanii badiisa isheetti kolfan.
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.
Yerusaalem akka malee cubbuu hojjette; akkasiinis xuroofte. Warri ulfina kennaniifii turan hundi ishee tuffatan; isaan qullaatti hafuu ishee arganiiruutii; isheen mataan ishee guungumtee of irra garagalti.
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.
Xuraaʼummaan ishee wandaboo isheetti maxxane; isheen waan gara duraatti itti dhufu hin yaadne; kufaatiin ishee nama rifachiisa; kan ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru ture. “Yaa Waaqayyo rakkina koo ilaali; diinni moʼateeraatii!”
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.
Qabeenya ishee hundatti diinni harka isaa diriirseera; isheen Namoota Ormaa warra ati akka isaan waldaa kee hin seenne dhowwite sana utuu isaan iddoo ishee qulqulluu seenanuu argite.
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.
Namoonni ishee hundinuu utuma aadanuu buddeena barbaaddatu; isaan lubbuu ofii isaanii turfachuuf jecha qabeenya isaanii nyaataan geeddarratu. “Yaa Waaqayyo na ilaali, na yaadadhus; ani tuffatameeraatii.”
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.
“Warra karaa irra dabartan hundi, kun isiniif homaa mitii? Naannoo keessan ilaalaatii argaa. Rakkinni akka rakkina koo kan ani ittiin rakkadhe, kan Waaqayyo guyyaa dheekkamsa isaatti natti fide sanaa jiru tokko iyyuu jiraa?
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.
“Inni ol gubbaadhaa ibidda erge; ibidda sana lafee koo keessa seensisa. Inni miilla kootiif kiyyoo diriirsee dugda duubatti na deebise; inni kophaatti na hambisee guyyaa guutuu na dadhabsiise.
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.
“Cubbuun koo waanjootti hidhameera; isaan harka isaatiin walitti foʼaman. Isaan morma kootti rarraafaman; gooftaan humna koo dadhabsiise. Inni warra ani of irraa deebisuu hin dandeenyetti dabarsee na kenneera.
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.
“Gooftaan gootota na keessatti argaman hunda gateera; inni dargaggoota koo caccabsuuf yaaʼii waammate. Gooftaan iddoo cuunfaa wayinii isaatti Durba Qulqullittii Intala Yihuudaa dhidhiiteera.
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.
“Wanni ani booʼee iji koo imimmaaniin guutameef kanaa dha. Namni na jajjabeessuuf dhiʼoo jiru tokko iyyuu hin jiru; kan hafuura koo bayyanachiisus hin jiru. Sababii diinni humna argateef ijoolleen koo harka duwwaa hafan.”
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.
Xiyoon harka ishee balʼifatteerti; garuu namni ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Akka olloonni isaa amajaajota isaa taʼaniif Waaqayyo Yaaqoobitti ajajeera; Yerusaalemis gidduu isaaniitti waan xuraaʼaa taateerti.
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.
“Waaqayyo qajeelaa dha; taʼus ani ajajawwan isaatti fincileen ture. Yaa saboota, hundi keessan dhagaʼaa; rakkina koos ilaalaa. Dargaggoonnii fi shamarran koo boojiʼamanii fudhatamaniiru.
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.
“Ani tumsitoota koo nan waammadhe; isaan garuu na ganan. Luboonni koo fi maanguddoonni koo utuu lubbuu isaanii oolfachuuf nyaata barbaadatanuu magaalaa keessatti dhuman.
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.
“Yaa Waaqayyo akka ani dhiphadhe ilaali! Ani keessa kootti dhiphadheera; garaa koo keessatti raafameera; ani nama akka malee fincilun tureetii. Alaa goraadeen nama qala; mana keessa immoo duʼa qofatu jira.
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.
“Namoonni akka ani aadaa jiru dhagaʼaniiru; kan na jajjabeessu garuu hin jiru. Diinonni koo hundinuu rakkina koo dhagaʼaniiru; isaan waan ati gootetti gammadaniiru. Akka isaan akkuma koo taʼaniif maaloo ati guyyaa jette sana fidi.
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.
“Hamminni isaanii hundinuu fuula kee duratti haa dhiʼaatu; waanuma sababii cubbuu koo hundaatiif natti fidde sana isaanitti illee fidi! Aaduun koo baayʼateeraatii; onneen koos dadhabdeerti.”
