< 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].
Como o Senhor cobriu a filha de Sião com sua ira! Ele derrubou a formosura de Israel do céu à terra, e não se lembrou do estrado de seus pés no dia de sua ira.
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.
O Senhor, destruiu sem compaixão todas as moradas de Jacó; derrubou em seu furor as fortalezas da filha de Judá, desonrou o reino e seus príncipes.
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.
Cortou no furor de sua ira todo o poder de Israel; tirou sua mão direita de diante do inimigo; e se acendeu contra Jacó como labareda de fogo que consome ao redor.
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.
Armou seu arco como inimigo, pôs sua mão direita como adversário, e matou todas as coisas agradáveis à vista; derramou sua indignação como fogo na tenda da filha de Sião.
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].
O Senhor tornou-se como inimigo, destruiu a Israel; destruiu todos os seus palácios, arruinou as suas fortalezas; e multiplicou na filha de Judá a lamentação e a tristeza.
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 com violência arrancou sua tenda, como [se fosse] de uma horta, destruiu o lugar de sua congregação; o SENHOR fez esquecer em Sião as solenidades e os sábados, E tem lançado no furor de sua ira rei e sacerdote.
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.
O Senhor rejeitou seu altar, detestou seu santuário, entregou na mão do inimigo os muros de seus palácios; levantaram gritaria na casa do SENHOR como em dia de festa.
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].
O SENHOR determinou destruir o muro da filha de Sião; estendeu o cordel, não deteve sua mão de destruir; tornou em lamento o antemuro e o muro; juntamente foram destruídos.
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.
Suas portas foram lançadas por terra, destruiu e quebrou seus ferrolhos; sua rei e seus príncipes estão entre as nações onde não há a Lei; nem seus profetas acham visão alguma do SENHOR.
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.
Sentados na terra [e] calados estão os anciãos da filha de Sião; lançaram pó sobre suas cabeças, vestiram-se de saco; as virgens de Jerusalém baixaram suas cabeças à terra.
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].
Meus olhos se consumiram de lágrimas, atormentam-se minhas entranhas; meu fígado se derramou por terra por causa do quebrantamento da filha de meu povo, porque crianças e bebês de mama desfalecem pelas ruas da cidade.
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.
Eles dizem às suas mães: Onde está o trigo e o vinho?, enquanto desfalecem como feridos pelas ruas da cidade, derramando suas almas no colo de suas mães.
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].
Que testemunho te trarei, ou a quem te compararei, ó filha de Jerusalém? A quem te assemelharei para te consolar, ó virgem, filha de Sião? Pois teu quebrantamento é tão grande quanto o mar; quem te curará?
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.
Teus profetas previram para ti futilidades e enganos; e não expuseram tua maldade para evitar teu cativeiro; em vez disso te predisseram profecias mentirosas e ilusórias.
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?”
Todos os que passam pelo caminho, batem palmas [para zombar] de ti; assoviaram, e moveram suas cabeças por causa da filha de Jerusalém, dizendo: É esta a cidade que diziam ser a perfeita beleza, a alegria de toda a terra?
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!”
Todos os teus inimigos abrem suas bocas contra ti, assoviam, e rangem os dentes; dizem: Nós [a] devoramos; pois este é o dia que esperávamos; nós o achamos, [e] o vimos.
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.
O SENHOR fez o que tinha determinado; cumpriu sua palavra que ele havia mandado desde os dias antigos; destruiu sem ter compaixão; e alegrou o inimigo sobre ti, e levantou o poder de teus adversários.
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.
O coração deles clamou ao Senhor. Ó muralha da filha de Sião, derrama lágrimas como um ribeiro dia e noite; não te dês descanso, nem cessem as meninas de teus olhos.
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.
Levanta-te, grita de noite, no começo das vigílias; derrama teu coração como águas diante da presença do Senhor; levanta tuas mãos a ele pela vida de tuas criancinhas, que desfalecem de fome nas entradas de todas as ruas.
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!
Olha, SENHOR, e considera a quem fizeste de tal modo; por acaso as mulheres comerão do seu [próprio] fruto, as criancinhas que carregam nos braços? Por acaso serão o sacerdote e o profeta mortos no santuário do Senhor?
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].
Jovens e velhos jazem por [pelas] ruas; minhas virgens e meus rapazes caíram à espada; tu [os] mataste no dia de tua ira, degolaste sem ter compaixão.
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.
Convocaste meus temores ao redor, como se fosse um dia solene; não houve quem escapasse no dia do ira do SENHOR, nem que restasse vivo; aos que criei e sustentei, meu inimigo os consumiu.
