Lamentations 2
1 The Lord has covered the daughter of Zion under the cloud of his anger. He has thrown the splendor of Israel down from heaven to earth. He has not remembered his footstool on the day of his anger.
Tala ndenge nini Nkolo azipi Siona, mboka kitoko, na lipata ya kanda na Ye: akweyisi lokumu ya Isalaele, wuta na likolo kino na se; na mokolo ya kanda na Ye, abosanaki enyatelo makolo na Ye!
2 The Lord has swallowed up and has had no compassion on all the towns of Jacob. In the days of his anger he has thrown down the fortified cities of the daughter of Judah; in dishonor he has brought down to the ground the kingdom and its rulers.
Na kozanga mawa, Nkolo abebisi bandako nyonso ya Jakobi; na kanda na Ye, akweyisi bandako batonga makasi ya Yuda, mwasi kitoko, mpe asambwisi bokonzi mpe bakambi na yango.
3 With fierce anger he has cut off every horn of Israel. He has withdrawn his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a blazing fire that devours everything around it.
Na kanda makasi na Ye, abukaki Isalaele maseke nyonso, alongolaki loboko na Ye ya mobali na likolo na yango tango monguna na bango azalaki kopusana; apelisaki moto kati na mokili ya Jakobi lokola moto makasi oyo etumbaka biloko nyonso na bangambo na yango nyonso.
4 Like an enemy he has bent his bow toward us, with his right is ready to shoot. He has slaughtered all who had been so pleasing to him in the tent of the daughter of Zion; he has poured out his wrath like fire.
Lokola moyini, abendi tolotolo na Ye; lokola monguna, asemboli loboko na Ye mpe abomi nyonso oyo ezalaki kosepelisa miso; mpe asopi kanda makasi na Ye lokola moto na likolo ya bandako ya kapo ya Siona, mboka kitoko.
5 The Lord has become like an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed her strongholds. He has increased mourning and lamentation within the daughter of Judah.
Yawe akomi lokola monguna: abebisi mokili ya Isalaele, abebisi bandako nyonso ya mokonzi ya Isalaele, abuki bandako na yango batonga makasi, atondisi matanga mpe kolela kati na Yuda, mboka kitoko.
6 He has attacked his tabernacle like a garden hut. He has destroyed the place of the solemn assembly. Yahweh has caused both solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, for he has despised both king and priest in the indignation of his anger.
Abebisi lopango na ye ndenge babebisaka lopango ya elanga, abebisi esika na bango ya mayangani. Na kanda makasi na Ye, Yawe asali ete Siona abosana bafeti oyo ekatama mpe mikolo ya Saba; mpe apameli mokonzi mpe Nganga-Nzambe.
7 The Lord has rejected his altar and disowned his sanctuary. He has given over the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed feast.
Yawe abwaki etumbelo na ye, asundoli esika na ye ya bule mpe akabi na maboko ya monguna bamir mpe bandako ya mokonzi na yango. Bato bagangi makasi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe ndenge bagangaka na mokolo ya feti oyo ekatama.
8 Yahweh decided to destroy the city wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the measuring line and has not withheld his hand from destroying the wall. He has made the ramparts and wall to lament; together they wasted away.
Yawe akani kobuka bamir oyo ezingeli Siona, mboka kitoko; atandi singa ya komekela molayi mpe azongisi loboko na Ye na sima te mpo na kobebisa; abebisi bamir oyo ebatelaka engumba mpe bamir mosusu; bongo akweyisi yango nyonso.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken the bars of her gate. Her king and her princes are among the nations, the law is no more and her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
Bikuke na yango ezindi na mabele; abuki-buki mpe abebisi banzete oyo bakangelaka bikuke yango. Mokonzi mpe bakambi na ye bakei na bowumbu kati na bikolo, Mobeko ezali lisusu te, mpe basakoli na ye bazali kozwa lisusu te bimoniseli kowuta na Yawe.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.
Bampaka ya Siona, mboka kitoko, bavandi kimia na mabele, bamisopeli putulu na mito na bango mpe balati basaki; bongo bilenge basi ya Yelusalemi bafukami, bilongi na bango kino na se.
11 My eyes have failed from their tears; my stomach churns; my inner parts are poured out to the ground because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, children and infants faint in the streets of the city.
Miso na ngai elembi kobimisa mpinzoli, nazali komitungisa, libumu na ngai ezali kobaluka, motema na ngai ezali kotungisama mpo ete bato na ngai babebisami, mpo ete bana mpe bana oyo bazali komela mabele balembi-lembi banzoto na balabala ya engumba.
12 They say to their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” as they faint like a wounded man in the streets of the city, their lives are poured out on the bosom of their mothers.
Bazalaki koloba na bamama na bango: « Epai wapi tokoki kozwa ble mpe masanga ya vino? » Ndenge bazalaki kokweya-kweya lokola bato oyo bazoki bapota minene na babalabala ya engumba, ndenge wana mpe bazalaki kokufa na maboko ya bamama na bango.
13 What can I say to you, daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? Your wound is as great as the sea. Who can heal you?
Naloba lisusu nini mpo na yo? Nakokanisa yo na nani, Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko? Nakokanisa yo na nani mpo ete nakoka kobondisa yo, Siona, mboka kitoko? Pota na yo ezali monene lokola ebale monene; nani akoki kobikisa yo?
14 Your prophets have seen false and worthless visions for you. They have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but for you they gave utterances that are false and misleading.
Bimoniseli ya basakoli na yo ezalaki ya lokuta mpe ya pamba; balakisaki yo masumu na yo te mpo ete okende na bowumbu te: masakoli oyo bazwelaki yo ezalaki ya mabe mpe ya lokuta!
15 All those who pass along the road clap their hands at you. They hiss and shake their heads against the daughter of Jerusalem and say, “Is this the city that they called 'The Perfection of Beauty,' 'The Joy for All of Earth'?”
Bato nyonso oyo bolekelaka na nzela na yo bazali kobeta maboko na kokamwa, bazali kobeta piololo mpe koningisa mito mpo na Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko: « Boni, ezali solo engumba oyo bazalaki kobenga kitoko ekoka mpe esengo ya mokili mobimba? »
16 All your enemies open their mouths against you. They sneer and grind their teeth in rage and say, “We have swallowed her up! This is the day we have waited for! We have lived to see it!”
Banguna na yo nyonso bafungoli minoko na bango mpo na kotiola yo, bazali koseka yo mpe kolia minu na bango; bongo bazali koloba: « Tomeli ye! Tala mokolo oyo tozalaki kozela! Tokomi penza na mokolo yango mpe tomoni yango! »
17 Yahweh has done what he planned to do. He has fulfilled his word. He has overthrown you without pity, for he has permitted the enemy to rejoice over you; he has lifted up the horn of your enemies.
Yawe asali makambo oyo abongisaki, akokisi liloba na Ye, nyonso oyo aloba wuta kala: akweyisi yo na mawa te, apesi nzela na banguna na yo ete balonga yo, atomboli liseke ya banguna na yo.
18 Their heart cried out to the Lord, walls of the daughter of Zion! Make your tears flow down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, your eyes no relief.
Mitema ya bato ezali koganga epai na Nkolo. Oh mir ya Siona, mboka kitoko, tika ete mpinzoli na yo ebima lokola ebale, butu mpe moyi, mpe miso na yo ekangama te!
19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children who faint with hunger at the corner of every street.”
Telema, ganga na butu ndenge bakengeli basalaka na butu; sopa motema na yo lokola mayi, na miso ya Nkolo, tombola maboko na yo epai na Ye mpo na bomoi ya bana na yo, oyo bazali kokufa nzala na babalabala nyonso.
20 See, Yahweh, and consider those you have dealt in this way. Should women eat the fruit of their wombs, the children whom they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be slaughtered in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Oh Yawe, tala mpe mona! Nani oyo osalela makambo ya boye? Boni, basi basengelaki solo kolia mbuma ya mabumu na bango to bana oyo bango moko babokoli? Boni, basengelaki solo koboma mosakoli mpe Nganga-Nzambe kati na Esika ya bule ya Nkolo?
21 Both the young and the old lie on the dust of the streets. My young women and my young men have fallen by the sword; you have slaughtered them without taking pity on them.
Bibembe ya bilenge mpe ya mikolo elali-lali na babalabala; basali na ngai ya mibali mpe ya basi bakufi na mopanga! Obomi bango na mokolo ya kanda na Yo; obomi bango na mawa te!
22 You have summoned, as you would call the people to a feast day, my terrors on every side, on the day of the anger of Yahweh no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and raised, my enemy has destroyed.
Ndenge obengisaka bato na mokolo ya feti, ndenge wana mpe obengisaki pasi wuta na bangambo nyonso mpo na kosala ngai mabe. Na mokolo ya kanda ya Yawe, moto moko te abikaki to atikalaki na bomoi. Monguna na ngai abebisi bato oyo nazalaki kobokola mpe kobatela.
