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.
Akore ty habangìñem-pitoboha’ o rova nilifots’ ondatio! Heheke te hoe ramavoiñe henaneo, ie nijabajaba amo fifeheañeo! Ie nianak’ampelam-panjaka añivo’ o faritseo le fa forekekeñe henane zao.
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].
Mafaitse ty fangoihoia’e te haleñe; ranomaso avao ty am-pifi’eo; ie añivo’ o fonga sakeza’eo ro po-mpañohò; sindre namitak’ate aze o rañe’eo songa rafelahi’e henaneo.
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.
Nasese an-kaloviloviañe t’Iehodà, naho ampañondevozañe losotse; amo kilakila ondatio ty imoneña’e henane zao, tsy mahaisake fitofañe; fa nahatratse aze iaby o mpañoridañ’ azeo, añivo’ o halovilovia’eo.
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.
Hene mandala o lala’ i Tsioneo amy te tsy ama’e ty mamonje o sabadidake namantañañeo; songa vahiny o lalam-bei’eo, miselekaiñ’ avao o mpisoro’eo; mihontoke o somondrara’eo, fa finaha manahin-ka.
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].
Fa nanoeñe talè’e henaneo o rafelahi’eo, miraorao henane zao o malaiñe azeo, f’ie nampisotrie’ Iehovà ty amo fiolà’e tsifotofotoo; fa nasese mb’an-drohy mb’eo aolo’ o rafelahi’eo o keleia’eo.
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.
Fonga napo’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ty volonahe’e; ie hoe bakaralahy, tsy manjo fiandrazañe o roandria’eo; nibotafotse po-kaozarañe aolo’ i mpañoridañey.
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.
Tiahi’ Ierosalaime, ze hene vara’e añ’andro taolo, ie nisotry naho nirererere, ie mijoñe am-pitan-drafelahi’e ao, ie pitsom-pañolotse, vaho nisamba i fihotraha’ey o malaiñ’azeo, nikizake i harotsaha’ey.
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].
Niota faly t’Ierosalaime, aa le ìnjen-dre henaneo; mavoe’ o niasy aze iabio, fa niisa’ iareo ty fimeñara’e; miselekain-dre vaho miamboho.
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!”
An-tsiki’e leny ao ty haleora’e; tsy hinao’e t’ie ho figadoña’e; nahalatsa ty nihotraha’e, ie tsy amam-pañohò. O ry Iehovà, vazohò ty fisotriako, ie ireñeta’ ty rafelahy!
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.
Fa natorakitsi’ o mpalaiñe azeo ambone’ o vara’e iabio o fità’eo; niisa’e iaby ty fipoñafa’ o kilakila’ ndatio i toe’e miavakey, o nirarà’o tsy himoake am-pivori’oo.
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!”
Songa mitoreo ondati’eo, mitsoeke mofo; natsalo’ iareo mahakama ty vara’ iareo ho famelomam-piaiñe. Vazoho ry Iehovà, mahaoniña ty tsy fanjofahako henaneo.
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].
Tsy ahoa’ areo hao zao, ry mpiary mb’eo? Paiao naho oniño, he ao ty hontoke manahake o fihontoke nafetsak’ amakoo, ie naretsa’ Iehovà amako amy andron-kaviñera’e miforoforo zao.
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.
Nampihitrifa’e afo boak’ andikerañey, le niteveke lalek’ an-taolako ao; nandafiha’e harato o tombokoo; nampolie’e mb’eo naho nenga’e fiain-drifi’e, vaho mitoirañe lomoñandro iraho.
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.
Hoe vinahotse an-joka o fiolàkoo, mirohy am-pità’eo, mivandibanditse pak’am-bozoko eo; mampinike ty haozarako; natolo’ i Talè am-pita’ o tsy lefeko ijohañañeo.
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].
Hene naforintse’ i Talè o lahindefoko añivoo; nitaroñe’e amako ty andro ho demohe’e o ajalahikoo; fa linialia’ i Talè hoe am-pipiritan-divay i anak-ampela mieha’ Iehodày.
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).
Rovetako i raha rezay; midoandoan-drano-maso avao o masokoo; fa lavits’ahy ty mpañohò, ty hampitsekake ty fahavaniako; bangiñe o anakoo, ty amy nandreketa’ i rafelahiy.
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.
Mañity tañañe t’i Tsione, fa tsy eo ty hañohò aze; fa nandilia’ Iehovà ty am’Iakobe o mpañohok’ azeo ty hifandrafelahy ama’e; ninjare raha maleotse añivo’ iareo ao t’Ierosalaime.
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.
To ty a Iehovà, amy te niolàko o entam-palie’eo; mijanjiña arè ry kilakila’ ondatio vaho isao o halovilovikoo; te nisese mb’am-pandrohizamb’eo o somondrarakoo naho o ajalahikoo.
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.
Kinaiko o sakezakoo fe nifañahie’ iareo; namoe’aiñe an-drova ao o mpisoroko naho o androanavikoo ie nitsoeke mahakama hameloma’e fiaiñe.
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].
Hehe, ry Iehovà t’ie an-koheke; mikoreokoreoke ty troko, mifihiñe amako ao ty foko, amy hafairañe nilosotsey. Mampandala an-dalañe eo ty fibara; hoe fihomahañe ty añ’anjomba ao.
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!
Jinanji’ iereo ty fitoreovako, izaho pitso-pañohò; jinanji’ o rafelahiko iabio o feh’ohakoo; ehake iereo te nanoe’o izay. Ampitsatoho i andro nitseize’oy, le hanahak’ ahy iereo.
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).
Ampombao aolo’o eo ze fonga fitoloñan-drati’ iareo; le ano am’ iereo o nanoe’o amakoo, ty amo fiolàñe iabio; amy te lako toreo iraho vaho midazidazìtse ty troko.
