< 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.
Ano't nakaupong magisa ang bayan na puno ng mga tao! Siya'y naging parang isang bao, na naging dakila sa gitna ng mga bansa! Siya na naging prinsesa sa gitna ng mga lalawigan, ay naging mamumuwis!
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].
Siya'y umiiyak na lubha sa gabi, at ang mga luha niya ay dumadaloy sa kaniyang mga pisngi; sa lahat ng mangingibig sa kaniya ay walang umaliw sa kaniya: ginawan siya ng kataksilan ng lahat ng kaniyang mga kaibigan; sila'y naging kaniyang mga kaaway.
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.
Ang Juda ay pumasok sa pagkabihag dahil sa pagdadalamhati, at sa kabigatan ng paglilingkod; siya'y tumatahan sa gitna ng mga bansa, siya'y walang masumpungang kapahingahan; inabot siya ng lahat na manghahabol sa kaniya sa mga gipit.
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.
Ang mga daan ng Sion ay nangagluluksa, sapagka't walang pumaparoon sa takdang kapulungan; lahat niyang pintuang-bayan ay giba, ang mga saserdote niya'y nangagbubuntong-hininga: ang mga dalaga niya ay nangagdadalamhati, at siya'y nasa kahapisan.
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].
Ang kaniyang mga kalaban ay naging pangulo, ang kaniyang mga kaaway ay nagsiginhawa; sapagka't pinagdalamhati siya ng Panginoon dahil sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga pagsalangsang: ang kaniyang mga batang anak ay pumasok sa pagkabihag sa harap ng kalaban.
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.
At nawala ang buong kamahalan ng anak na babae ng Sion: ang kaniyang mga prinsipe ay naging parang mga usa na hindi makasumpong ng pastulan, at nagsiyaong walang lakas sa harap ng manghahabol.
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.
Naaalaala ng Jerusalem sa kaarawan ng kaniyang pagdadalamhati at ng kaniyang mga karalitaan ang lahat niyang naging maligayang bagay ng mga kaarawan nang una: nang mahulog ang kaniyang bayan sa kamay ng kalaban, at walang sumaklolo sa kaniya, nakita siya ng mga kalaban, tinuya nila ang kaniyang mga pagkasira.
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].
Ang Jerusalem ay lubhang nagkasala; kaya't siya'y naging parang maruming bagay; lahat ng nangagparangal sa kaniya ay humahamak sa kaniya, sapagka't kanilang nakita ang kaniyang kahubaran: Oo, siya'y nagbubuntong-hininga, at tumatalikod.
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!”
Ang kaniyang karumihan ay nasa kaniyang mga laylayan; hindi niya naalaala ang kaniyang huling wakas; kaya't siya'y nababa ng katakataka; siya'y walang mangaaliw; masdan mo, Oh Panginoon, ang aking pagdadalamhati; sapagka't ang kaaway ay nagmalaki.
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.
Iginawad ng kalaban ang kaniyang kamay sa lahat niyang maligayang bagay; sapagka't nakita niya na ang mga bansa ay pumasok sa kaniyang santuario, yaong mga inutusan mo na huwag magsipasok sa iyong kapisanan.
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!”
Buong bayan niya ay nagbubuntong-hininga, sila'y nagsisihanap ng tinapay; ibinigay nila ang kanilang mga maligayang bagay na kapalit ng pagkain upang paginhawahin ang kaluluwa. Iyong tingnan, Oh Panginoon, at masdan mo; sapagka't ako'y naging hamak.
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].
Wala bagang anoman sa inyo, sa inyong lahat na nagsisipagdaan? Inyong masdan, at inyong tingnan kung may anomang kapanglawan na gaya ng aking kapanglawan, na nagawa sa akin, na idinalamhati sa akin ng Panginoon sa kaarawan ng kaniyang mabangis na galit.
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.
Mula sa itaas ay nagsugo siya ng apoy sa aking mga buto, at mga pinananaigan; kaniyang ipinagladlad ng silo ang aking mga paa, kaniyang ibinalik ako: kaniyang ipinahamak ako at pinapanglupaypay buong araw.
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.
Pamatok ng aking mga pagsalangsang ay hinigpit ng kaniyang kamay; mga nagkalakiplakip, nagsiabot sa aking leeg; kaniyang pinanglupaypay ang aking kalakasan: ibinigay ako ng Panginoon sa kanilang mga kamay, laban sa mga hindi ko matatayuan.
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].
Iniuwi ng Panginoon sa wala ang lahat na aking mga makapangyarihang lalake sa gitna ko; siya'y tumawag ng isang takdang kapulungan laban sa akin upang pagwaraywarayin ang aking mga binata: niyapakan ng Panginoon na parang pisaan ng ubas ang anak na dalaga ng Juda.
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).
Dahil sa mga bagay na ito ay umiiyak ako; ang mata ko, ang mata ko ay dinadaluyan ng luha; sapagka't ang mangaaliw na marapat magpaginhawa ng aking kaluluwa ay malayo sa akin: ang mga anak ko ay napahamak, sapagka't nanaig ang kaaway.
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.
Iginawad ng Sion ang kaniyang mga kamay; walang umaliw sa kaniya; nagutos ang Panginoon tungkol sa Jacob, na silang nangasa palibot niya ay magiging kaniyang mga kalaban: ang Jerusalem ay parang maruming bagay sa gitna nila.
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.
Ang Panginoon ay matuwid; sapagka't ako'y nanghimagsik laban sa kaniyang utos: inyong pakinggan, isinasamo ko sa inyo, ninyong lahat na bayan, at inyong masdan ang aking kapanglawan: ang aking mga dalaga at ang aking mga binata ay pumasok sa pagkabihag.
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.
Aking tinawagan ang mga mangingibig sa akin, nguni't dinaya nila: nalagot ang hininga ng aking mga saserdote at ng aking mga matanda sa bayan, habang nagsisihanap sila ng pagkain upang paginhawahin ang kanilang kaluluwa.
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].
Masdan mo, Oh Panginoon; sapagka't ako'y nasa kapanglawan; ang aking puso ay namamanglaw; ang aking puso ay nagugulumihanan; sapagka't ako'y lubhang nanghimagsik: sa labas ay tabak ang lumalansag, sa loob ay may parang kamatayan.
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!
Nabalitaan nila na ako'y nagbubuntong-hininga; walang umaliw sa akin; Lahat ng aking mga kaaway ay nangakarinig ng aking kabagabagan; sila'y nangatuwa na iyong ginawa: iyong pararatingin ang araw na iyong itinanyag, at sila'y magiging gaya ko.
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).
Magsidating nawa ang lahat nilang kasamaan sa harap mo; at gawin mo sa kanila, ang gaya ng ginawa mo sa akin dahil sa lahat kong mga pagsalangsang: sapagka't ang aking mga buntong-hininga ay marami, at ang aking puso ay nanglulupaypay.
