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].
Yadda Ubangiji ya rufe Diyar Sihiyona da gizagizan fushi! Ya jefar da darajar Isra’ila daga sama zuwa ƙasa; bai tuna da wurin ɗora ƙafafunsa ba a ranar fushinsa.
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.
Ubangiji ya hallakar da wurin zaman Yaƙub ba tausayi; A cikin fushinsa kuma zai rurrushe kagaran Diyar Yahuda. Ya ƙasƙantar da mulki da masu mulki.
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.
A cikin zafin fushi ya fasa kowane ƙaho na Isra’ila. Ya janye hannun damansa sa’ad da maƙiyi ya zo. Ya yi ƙuna a cikin Yaƙub kamar wuta mai ƙone duk abin da yake kusa da ita.
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.
Kamar abokin gāba, ya ɗana bakansa; hannun damansa na shirye. Kamar maƙiyi, ya kashe duk wanda idonsa ya ji daɗin gani; ya zuba fushinsa kamar wuta a kan tenti na Diyar Sihiyona.
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].
Ubangiji kamar maƙiyi ne; ya hallaka Isra’ila. Ya hallaka wurarenta duka ya kuma hallaka kagaranta. Ya ƙara yawan makoki da baƙin ciki wa Diyar Yahuda.
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.
Ya rushe haikalinsa kamar lambu; ya hallaka wurin yi masa sujada. Ubangiji ya sa Sihiyona ta manta da bukukkuwanta da kuma ranakunta na Asabbaci; a cikin zafin fushinsa ya watsar da sarki da firist.
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.
Ubangiji ya ƙi bagadensa ya kuma yi wofi da haikalinsa. Ya ba maƙiyinta fadodinta; suka yi sowa a cikin gidan Ubangiji kamar a ranar da ake yin biki.
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].
Ubangiji ya ƙuduri niyya yă rushe bangon da yake kewaye da Diyar Sihiyona. Ya auna da igiyar awo bai fasa hallaka ta ba. Ya sa katanga da katanga duk suka lalace.
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.
Ƙofofinta sun nutse a cikin ƙasa; ya kakkarya ƙarafanta. Sarakunanta da’ya’yan sarakunanta duk an kai su bauta cikin waɗansu ƙasashe, babu sauran doka, annabawa kuma ba su samun wahayi daga wurin Ubangiji.
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.
Dattawan Diyar Sihiyona sun zauna shiru a ƙasa; suka kuma sa rigar buhu.’Yan matan Urushalima suka sunkuyar da kawunansu ƙasa.
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].
Idanuna sun dushe don yawan kuka, raina na cike da baƙin ciki; zuciyata ta karaya domin mutanena sun hallaka, domin yara da jarirai suna suma a kan hanyoyi a cikin birni.
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.
Suna ce wa uwayensu, “Ina burodi da ruwan inabi?” Yayinda suke suma kamar mutanen da aka ji masu ciwo a cikin birni, sa’ad da suke mutuwa a hannuwan uwayensu.
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].
Me zan ce miki? Da me zan kwatanta ki, ke Diyar Urushalima? Da me zan misalta ki, yadda zan iya yi miki ta’aziyya, Ke Budurwa Diyar Sihiyona? Ciwonki yana da zurfi kamar teku. Wane ne zai iya warkar da ke?
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.
Wahayin annabawanki ƙarya ne kuma marasa amfani; ba su tona zunubanki ba yadda za su iya ceto ki daga bauta ba. Sun yi miki annabcin ƙarya marar amfani.
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?”
Duk masu wucewa suna yi miki tafi na reni; suna yi wa Diyar Urushalima tsaki suna kaɗa kai suna cewa, “Wannan ne birnin da aka ce kyakkyawa ne, mai farantawa dukan duniya rai?”
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!”
Maƙiyanki duka suna ta surutu game da ke; suna tsaki suna cizon haƙora suna cewa, “Mun hallaka ta. Wannan ce ranar da muke jira; yau mun gan ta.”
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.
Ubangiji ya yi abin da ya shirya; ya cika maganarsa, wadda ya umarta tun daɗewa. Ya jefar da ke ba tausayi, ya bari maƙiya sun yi nasara da ke, ya ɗaukaka ƙahon maƙiyanki.
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.
Zuciyar mutane ta yi kuka ga Ubangiji. Ya bangon Diyar Urushalima, bar hawayenki su zuba kamar rafi dare da rana; kada ki huta, kada idanunki su huta.
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.
Ki tashi, ki yi kuka cikin dare, dare na yi sai ki fara kuka; kina buɗewa Ubangiji zuciyarki. Ki ɗaga hannuwanki gare shi domin rayukan’ya’yanki, waɗanda suka suma don yunwa a kan kowane titi.
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!
“Ka duba, ka gani ya Ubangiji. Wane ne ka taɓa yi wa haka? Ko ya kamata uwaye su ci’ya’yansu,’ya’yan da suka yi reno? Ko ya kamata a kashe firistoci da annabawa a cikin haikalin Ubangiji?
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].
“Matasa da tsofaffi duk suna kwanciya a cikin ƙurar tituna; an karkashe matasa da’yan matana da takobi. Ka kashe su a ranar fushinka; ka kashe su ba tausayi.
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.
“Kamar yadda kake yin gayyata a ranar biki, haka kake kawo mini tsoro a kowane gefe. A ranar fushin Ubangiji ba mai tserewa ba wanda zai tsira; maƙiyina ya kashe waɗanda na yi renonsu, na kuma lura da su.”
