Lamentations 1
1 Jerusalem was [once] full of people, but now it is deserted. [Once] it was honored by people all over the world, but now it is [grieving/abandoned] like [SIM] a widow. [Once] it was [honored like] [MET] a princess [is honored] among the nations, but now [we who live here] have become slaves.
Yelusaleme da dunu amoga nabaidafa galu. Be wali e da fofagini agoane diala. Musa: fifi asi gala huluane da ema nodoi. Be wali e da uda didalo agoai gala. Yelusaleme ea noga: idafa hou da musa: osobo bagade moilai bai bagade huluane baligi dagoi. Be wali ea dunu huluane da udigili hawa: hamonana.
2 We [PRS] weep bitterly [all] night long, with tears flowing down our cheeks. Among [the people in] all [the nations] that loved Jerusalem there are none that comfort us [now]. All [the rulers of those nations that were previously] our allies have betrayed us, and they are all now enemies [of the people of Jerusalem].
Daeya ganini asili hahabe huluane e da dinana. Si hano da ea siguluba: le daha. E da musa: sama bagohame galu. Be waha afae da e dogo denesimu hame ba: sa. Emagai dunu da ema hohonone, wali ema ha lai gala.
3 [The people of] Judah have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries) and caused to suffer greatly as slaves. They live in [other] nations where they do not have peace/safety. Their enemies seized them, and there was no way for them to escape.
Yuda fi dunu da hamedei mugululi udigili hawa: hamosu dunu ba: sa. Ilia ha lai dunu da gasa fili, ili fifi lasu amogai mae esaloma: ne, sefasi dagoi. Ilia da ga soge ganodini esala. Ilia fifi lasudafa da hame gala. Ilia ha lai dunu da ili sisiga: iba: le, hobeamu logo hame ba: sa.
4 The roads to Zion [Hill] are empty [PRS] because no one comes [here] to [celebrate] the sacred festivals. The city gates are deserted, and the priests groan. The young women [of Jerusalem] cry [because] they are suffering greatly.
Wali da dunu afae da hadigi esoga Debolo Diasuga sia: ne gadomusa: hamedafa maha. Uda a: fini amo da musa: amogawi gesami hea: i, wali da se naba. Amola gobele salasu dunu da gogonomobe fawane. Moilai bai bagade logo holei huluane da mebu dagoi ba: sa amola Saione moilai bai bagade da se nabawane diala.
5 Our enemies have conquered the city, and [now] they prosper. Yahweh has punished [the people of] Jerusalem because of all the sins that they have committed. The children [of Jerusalem] have been captured and taken [to other countries].
Yelusaleme fi ilia ha lai dunu da ili hasali dagoi. Amo ha lai dunu da ilia gasaga Yelusaleme gagulaligisa. Yelusaleme da wadela: i bagohame hamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da ema se dabe i dagoi. Yelusaleme fi ilia mano da ilia ha lai dunu amoga doagala: le, sasamogele lale, asi dagoi ba: sa.
6 Jerusalem was a beautiful city, but it is not beautiful now. The leaders [of the city] are like [SIM] deer that are starving because of being unable to find any grass [to eat]. They are very weak, with the result that they are unable to run from their enemies.
Yelusaleme ea isisima: goi ba: su da asi dagoi. Ea ouligisu dunu da ‘dia’ gebo amo da ha: ga gasa hamedeiba: le, benea ahoasu dunu iliba: le hobeamu gasa hame agoane ba: sa
7 [The people of] Jerusalem are sad and scattered, and they think about the previous greatness of the city. [But now] our enemies have captured the city, and there is no one to help the people. Our enemies destroyed the city and laughed while they were doing that.
Yelusaleme da fofagini mugului dagoi mebui agoane ba: sa. Be e da ea musa: isisima: goi ba: su hou bu dawa: sa. Ema ha lai dunu da ema doagala: loba, e da dafai dagoi. Amola e fidimu dunu afae hame ba: su. Ema hasanasisu dunu da ea dafabe amo ba: loba, eba: le oufesega: i.
8 [The people of] [PRS] Jerusalem have sinned very much; [it is as though] [MET] the city has become [like] a filthy [rag]. All those who [previously] honored the city [now] despise it, because they see that it has become very disgraced [MET]. Now [the people of] the city groan, and they cover their faces [because they are very ashamed].
Ema nodosu hou da fisiagai dagoi. E da da: i nabado gala amola eno dunu da e higale ba: sa. E da gogosia: iba: le, gogonomusa: , ea odagi wamolegesa. Yelusaleme da hisu wadela: le bagadedafa hamobeba: le, ledo hamoi dagoi.
9 The city has become filthy because of [PRS] the sins that the people have committed; they did not think about what could happen to the city. [Now] the city has been destroyed, and there is no one to comfort [the people]. [The people cry out saying], “Yahweh, look at how we are suffering because our enemies have defeated us!”
Dunu huluane da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ea ledo hou amo ba: i dagoi. Be e da hobea misunu hou mae dawa: le esalu. Amaiba: le e da gugunufinisili dafai ba: i. Ea dogo denesimu da hamedei. Ea ha lai dunu da e hasali dagoi, Amola e da Hina Godema e fidima: ne, disa wele sia: sa.
10 Our enemies have taken away all our treasures, all the valuable things that we owned. We have seen [soldiers from other] nations, [men who do not worship Yahweh], enter our sacred temple, [the place] where foreigners/non-Israelis were (forbidden/not allowed) to enter.
Ha lai dunu da ea noga: idafa liligi huluane wamolai dagoi. Hina Gode da amane sema legei, ‘Dienadaile (Yu fi hame) dunu ilia da Debolo Diasu ganodini masunu da sema bagade. Be Yelusaleme da ba: lalobawane, ema ha lai da Debolo Diasuga golili sa: i.
11 The people of the city groan while they search for food; they have given their treasures to get food [to eat] to remain alive. [They say], “Yahweh, look [at us], and see that we are despised!”
Yelusaleme fi dunu da ha: i manu hogosa, gogonomosa. Ilia liligi noga: idafa amoga ilia na: iyadoma, ha: i manu ili esaloma: ne manusa: bidi lasa. Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da disa, amane wele sia: sa, “Hina Gode! Na ba: ma! Na da baligili da: i dione esala!
12 You people who pass by, you do not [RHQ] seem to care at all [about what has happened to us]. Look around and see that there are no other [RHQ] people who are suffering like we are. Yahweh has caused us to suffer because he was extremely angry [with us].
Dunu huluane da bobaligilalebe, ilima e da disa wele sia: sa, “Na ba: ma! Na se nabasu defele, dunu afaega da hame ba: i. Hina Gode da nama ougiba: le, amo se nabasu nama i dagoi.
13 [It is as though] he sent a fire from heaven [MTY] that burned in our bones; [it is as though] [MET] he has placed a trap for our feet, and has prevented us from walking any further. He has abandoned us; we are weak/miserable [every day], all day long.
Hina Gode da muagadodili, lalu iasili, amo lalu da na da: i ganodini nenanu. E da na sa: ima: ne, sanisi. Amaiba: le, na da osoba gala: la sa: i. Amalalu, E da na yolesili, na da mae fisili se nabasu nabala.
14 He caused the sins that we have committed to be [like] a heavy load for us to carry; [it is as though] [MET] he tied them around our necks. Previously we were strong, but he has caused us to become weak. He has allowed our enemies to capture us, and we were not able to do anything to resist them.
E da na wadela: i hou huluane ba: lalu, amo huluane gilisili, fedege agoane ‘youge’ hamoi. E da na wadela: i hou huluane ‘youge’ agoane na galogoaga gisa: ginisisi, amoga na da: i da dioi bagadeba: le, na da: i da gogaya: i ba: i. Hina Gode da na ha lai dunuma na ianu, na da ilima bu gegemu hamedei ba: i.
15 Yahweh looked at our mighty soldiers and laughed at them. He has summoned a great army to [come and] crush our young soldiers. [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has trampled on [us] people of Judah like [SIM] [people trample] on grapes in a pit [to make wine].
Hina Gode da na baligili gasa bagade dadi gagui dunu iliba: le oui. E da na ayeligi dunu wadela: lesima: ne, dadi gagui wa: i asunasi. E da waini fage hano hamoma: ne ososa: gibi, amo defele na osa: gi.
16 I weep because of [all] those things; my eyes are filled with tears. There is no one to comfort me; those who could encourage me are far away. Our enemies have conquered [us], so our children have nothing good to (hope for/expect to happen).
Amaiba: le, na siga si hano da nabale aduga: le daha. Dunu enoga da na denesimu hamedei. Na ha lai dunu da na hasali dagoi. Na fi dunu da liligi gagui hamedafa gala.
17 [We people of] [PRS] Jerusalem reach out our hands [to get help], but there is no one to comfort us. Yahweh has decided concerning [us descendants of] Jacob that the people in nearby nations will become our enemies; so they consider that Jerusalem has become [like] [MET] a filthy rag.
Na da enoga fidima: ne, lobo ilua: legasa. Be fidimu dunu hame ba: sa. Hina Gode da nama doagala: ma: ne, la: idi la: idiga ha lai dunu misa: ne sia: i. Ilia da na ledo hamoi liligi agoane ba: sa.
18 But what Yahweh has done [to us] is fair, because we have rebelled against obeying the commands that he gave [us]. You people everywhere, listen [to us]; [look and] see that we are suffering [greatly]. We had [many] sons and daughters, but they have been captured and forced to go to distant countries.
Be Hina Gode Ea hou da moloi fawane. Bai na da Ea hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hame hamosu. Fifi asi gala dunu huluane! Na sia: nabima! Na se nabasu ba: ma! Na ayeligi dunu amola a: fini huluane da mugululi asi dagoi.
19 We pleaded with our allies [to help us], but they [all] refused. Our priests and our leaders have died [from hunger] in the city while they were searching for food [to eat] to remain alive.
Na da na fuligala: su fi dunuma na fidima: ne wele sia: i. Be ilia da na fidumu higa: i. Gobele salasu dunu amola ouligisu dunu ilia da moilai bai bagade logoga esala ha: i manu hogolalu, be hamedeiba: le udigili bogogia: i.
20 Yahweh, see that we are suffering very much. [It is as though] our inner beings are tormented. We are sad [SYN] because we have rebelled [against you]. Our enemies kill people in the streets with their swords; people are dying [because they have no food to eat].
Hina Gode, ba: ma! Na da se bagadedafa nabala! Fedege agoane, na dogo da faga: i dagoi. Bai na da na wadela: i hou dawa: beba: le, da: i dioi bagade nabala. Moilai bai bagade logoga, dunu oda da eno dunu medole legesa. Amola diasu huluane amo ganodini, bogosu fawane ba: sa.
21 People have heard us while we groaned, but no one [came to] comfort us. [Yahweh, ] you caused us to experience this [disaster], and our enemies are happy to see what you have done [to us]. But cause it soon to be the time that you have promised, when our enemies will suffer like we have suffered!
Na gogonomobe nabima! Na dogo denesimu da dunu hame. Di da amo gugunufinisisu nama iabeba: le, na ha lai dunu ilia da nodosa. Hahawane eso amo Di da nama ima: ne ilegele sia: i, amo iasima. Na se nabasu defele, nama ha lai dunuma se bidi ima.
22 [Yahweh, ] see all the evil things that they have done and punish them! [Punish them] like you have punished us for all the sins that we committed! [We say this to you] because we suffer and groan very much, and we (faint/are very sad).
Ilia da wadela: i hou baligili hamobeba: le, ilima fofada: nanu, ilima se bidi imunusa: ilegema. Di da na wadela: i hou hamoiba: le, nama se bidi i, amo defele ilima se bidi ima. Na da bagadewane da: i dioiba: le, gogonomosa. Na da na dogo ganodini olo bagade gala.”
