Lamentations 2
1 Yahweh was extremely angry [with us]; as a result, [it was as though] [MET] he covered Jerusalem with a dark cloud. Previously it was a beautiful/glorious city, but he has caused it to become a ruins. At the time he punished [MET] Israel, he [even] abandoned his temple [MET] [in Jerusalem].
Hina Gode da ougi bagadeba: le, E da Saione Moilai Bai Bagade amo gasiga dedebolesi. Saione ea hadigi isisima: goi ba: su hou amo E da mugululi, gugunufinisi dagoi. Amolawane, E da Ea ougi ba: i esoga, Ea Debolo Diasu amo higale, fisiagai.
2 Yahweh destroyed the homes of [the people of] [PRS] Judah; he did not act mercifully. Because he was very angry, he broke down the fortresses of Judah. He has caused our kingdom and our rulers to become disgraced, and he has gotten rid of them.
Hina Gode da mae asigili, Yuda soge moilai huluanedafa gugunufinisi. Amola gagili sali moilai amo da musa: Yuda soge fi gaga: i, amo huluane E da mugululi hiougili fasi. Hina Gode da Yuda hina bagade amola ilia ouligibi fi amo huluane gogosiama: ne amane hamoi.
3 Because he was extremely angry, he has caused Israel to not be powerful [MET] any more. He has refused to assist us when our enemies attacked us. He has destroyed Israel like [SIM] a raging fire destroys everything.
Gode da bagadewane ougiba: le, Isala: ili fi ilia gasa fofonobonesi. Ha lai da nini doagala: musa: manoba, Gode da nini fidimu higa: i. E da lalu gia: i bagade defele, ninima gegenanu, liligi huluane gugunufinisi.
4 He bent his bow [to prepare to shoot us, his people], as though we were his enemies. He [prepared to] kill the people whom we love the most [MET], members of our own families. He is extremely angry [MTY] with us people of Jerusalem; his anger is like [SIM] a fire.
Hina Gode da ha lai dunuga gala: musa: dilaligibi defele, ninima gala: musa: dilaligi. Dunu amola uda amoma ninia da nodoi, Hina Gode da amo medole lelegei. Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega guiguda: , Hina Gode Ea gia: i bagade ougi hou da ninima doaga: i.
5 Yahweh has become like an enemy to [us] Israelis; he has destroyed our palaces and caused our fortresses to become ruins. He has gotten rid of many people in Jerusalem, and caused us to mourn and weep [for those who were killed].
Ninima ha lai dunu defele, Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi gugunufinisi dagoi. E da Isala: ili gagili sali diasu amola hina bagade diasu huluane gugunufinisili yolesi. E da hamobeba: le, Yuda fi dunu huluane da eso huluane mae fisili, da: i dione dawa: lala.
6 He has caused his temple to be smashed [as easily] as [SIM] if it was a shelter in a garden. He has caused [us, his people], to forget all our sacred festivals and Sabbath days. He has caused [our] kings and priests to be rejected because he was extremely angry with them.
E da Debolo (amo ganodini ninia da Ema nodone sia: ne gadoi), amo E da fili gagoudane fasi. E da hadigi eso amola Sa: bade eso huluane dagolesi. Hina bagade ilia amola gobele salasu dunu ilia da defele, Hina Gode Ea ougi bagade ba: i.
7 Yahweh has rejected his own altar and abandoned his temple. He has allowed [our] enemies to tear down the walls of [our temple and] our palaces. They shout [victoriously] in the temple of Yahweh, like we [previously shouted] during our sacred festivals.
Hina Gode da Ea oloda higale ba: i, amola Ea hadigi Debolo Diasu yolesi. E da ha lai dunu ilia Debolo dobea muguluma: ne, logo doasi. Amogawi ninia da musa: hahawane Hina Godema sia: ne gadosu. Be ninima ha lai dunu da Debolo Diasu wadela: lesili, hasalabeba: le nodone wele sia: i.
8 Yahweh was determined to cause the walls of our city [MTY] to be torn down. [It was as though] he measured the walls and [then he completely] destroyed [MTY] them. [It was as though] he caused the towers and walls to lament/weep, [because they were now ruins].
Hina Gode da Saione gagoi muguluma: ne dafawane ilegei. Amo dafawanedafa gugunufinisima: ne, e da amo defele ilegei. Gagagula heda: i diasu amola gagoi amo da wali gilisili wadela: lesi dialebe ba: sa.
9 The city gates have collapsed; the bars that fastened the gates shut have been smashed. The king and his officials have [been forced to] go to other countries. No longer does anyone teach the people the laws [that God gave to Moses]. The prophets do not receive any visions [because] Yahweh does not give them any.
Saione logo ga: su ilia da gagoudane fasili, isuga dedeboi ba: sa. Yuda hina bagade amola hina bagade sosogo fi da wali mugululi asi dagoi. Ilia da Hina Gode Ea sema bu hame olelesa. Amola Hina Gode da Ea balofede dunu (Gode Sia: Alofesu dunu) ilima esala ba: su bu hame olesa.
10 The old men of Jerusalem [MTY] sit on the ground, and they say nothing. They wear rough sackcloth and throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad]. The young girls of Jerusalem bow down [sorrowfully], their faces touching the ground.
Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade fi da: i hamoi dunu da ouiya: le osoboga fi diala. Ilia dialuma da: iya da osobo gulu ligisili, amola ilia da eboboi abula gaga: i. Uda a: fini ilia da osoboa mi bugili begudusa.
11 My eyes are very tired because of my tears; I am very grieved in my soul. Because [very many of] my people have been killed, I grieve and am exhausted. [Even] children and babies are fainting [and dying] in the streets [because they have no food].
Na da dinana, na si da fofasa. Na da se bagade nabala. Na fi dunu da gugunufinisi dagoiba: le, na da dinana sasei. Mano amola mano dudubu ilia da moilai bai bagade logoba: le sidigia: sa.
12 They cry out to their mothers, “We need [RHQ] something to eat and drink!” They faint like wounded men in the streets of the city. They slowly die in the arms of their mothers.
Ha: ga amola hano hanaga, ilia da emema dini iaha. Ilia da dadiga gala: i dunu defele, ilia logoa gala: la sa: ili, emelalia lobo da: iya gebewane bogogia: sa.
13 You people of Jerusalem [MTY, DOU], (what can I/there is nothing that I can) say [to help you]. No people have [RHQ] suffered like you are suffering; I do not know what I can do to comfort you. The disaster [MET] that you have experienced is as great as the ocean is deep; there is no one [RHQ] who can restore your [city].
Waaee! Yelusaleme! Dogolegei Yelusaleme! Na da adi sia: ma: bela: ? Na da habodane di dogo denesima: bela: ? Dunu afaega da agoane hame hahani. Di gugunufinisisu da alalo hamedei hano wayabo bagade agoai ba: sa. Noga: ma: bela: le dawa: mu da hamedei.
14 The prophets among you claimed that they had seen visions [from Yahweh], but what they said was false and worthless. They did not save you from being (exiled/forced to go to other countries), because they did not proclaim that you had sinned. Instead, the messages that they gave you deceived you [because] they were not true.
Dia balofede dunu da dima moloi sia: mae sia: ne, ogogosu sia: fawane sia: su. Ilia dima ogogole olelebeba: le, dia wadela: i hou da wamolegei dialebe ba: i. Ilia da ogogole sia: beba: le, di da fofada: nanu sinidigimu hame dawa: i.
15 All those who pass by you make fun of [IDM] you; they shake their heads and they hiss/sneer at you. [They say], “Is this that great city of Jerusalem? Is it the city that was the most beautiful city in the world, the city that caused all [the people on] the earth to be joyful?”
Moilai bai bagadeba: le bobaligilalebe dunu ilia dima ba: lu, migasesa. Ilia da dialuma fofoga: ne, Yelusaleme mugului amoba: le oufesega: ne, amane sia: sa, “Goe da hadigi moilai bai bagadela: ? Osobo bagade gagagusu moilai bai bagade amoga dunu huluane da hidale dawa: i, amo da goela: ?”
16 [Now] all our enemies scoff [IDM] at you; they hiss/sneer [at you] and gnash their teeth [to show that they hate you]. They say, “We have destroyed them! This is what we longed/waited for, and now it has happened!”
Dima ha lai dunu huluane da dima lasagole oufesega: ne, dima higale ba: sa. Ilia da lafi bula: gili mosole gagale, uhuhusa amane sia: sa, “Ninia da amo gugunufinisi dagoi. Ninia amo ba: musa: ouesalu eso da goea!”
17 Yahweh has done what he planned; long ago he threatened to destroy you, and [now] he has done it. He has destroyed [your city] without acting mercifully [toward you]; he has enabled your enemies to he happy about defeating you; he has enabled your enemies to [continually] become stronger.
Hina Gode da bagadewane ouesalu be wahadafa Ea musa: dawa: ma: ne se bidi imunusa: dawa: lu amo iasi dagoi. E da musa: dafa Hi sisane sia: si amo defele, E da ninima mae asigiliwane nini gugunufinisi dagoi. E da ninia ha lai dunuma hasanasisu hou iasi, amola ninia dafai hou amoga ilima hahawane nodoma: ne iasi.
18 I wish/desire that the walls of Jerusalem [APO] would cry out to Yahweh! You people of Jerusalem [MET], Cry day and night! Let your tears flow like rivers. Do not stop grieving; do not stop crying.
Waaee! Yelusaleme! Dia moilai bai bagade gagoi huluane da Hina Godema disa wele sia: ma: ma. Di da gasi amola hayo huluane dia si hano da hano agoane a: i daloma: ma. Di da da: i dione dinaneawane gufia: ma: ma!
19 Get up [every] night and cry out; tell Yahweh what you are feeling. Raise your arms to plead to him to act mercifully to prevent our children from dying; they are fainting on the street corners because they have no food to eat.
Gasi ganodini wa: legadole amola eno wa: legadole, Hina Godema dini ianoma: ma. Mano da logo sagulufai huluane amoga bogogia: lala. Dia dogo huluanedafa amoga Hina Godema, E da ilima asigima: ne disawane edegema.
20 Yahweh, look, and think [about it]! Have you ever [RHQ] caused people to suffer like this before? [It is certainly not right that] [RHQ] women are eating the flesh of their own children, the children whom they have always taken care of! [It is not right that] [RHQ] priests and prophets are being killed in your own temple!
Hina Gode! Di ba: ma! Di da abuliba: le ninima se bidi agoane iasibala: ? Uda da ilia dogolegei mano ilia da: i hodo naha. Ha lai dunu da gobele salasu dunu amola balofede dunu amo Debolo Diasu ganodini medole lelegesa.
21 [The corpses of] people of all ages lie in the streets; [there are even corpses of] young men and young women who have been killed by [our enemies’] swords. Because you were very angry, you caused them to be killed; you have slaughtered them without pitying them [at all].
Ayeligi amola asigilai defele, logoba: le bogogia: i dialebe ba: sa. Ayeligi amola uda a: fini ilia da ha lai ilia gegesu gobiheiga fane lelegebe ba: sa. Hina Gode! Dia ougi eso amoga Di da mae asigiliwane, ili medole lelegei.
22 You summoned our enemies to attack us from every direction, as though you were calling/inviting them to come to a feast. At that time when [you showed that] you were very angry, no one escaped. Our enemies murdered [our little children, ] ones whom we took care of and reared/brought up.
Di da dunu ilia eno dunu lolo nabe amoga hiougibi defele Di da nama ha lai na gugunufinisimusa: hiougi. Dia ougi eso amoga dunu afae da hobeamu hamedafa ba: i. Ilia da na dogolegei manolali amo na da bugili i, amo huluane medole legei.
