Lamentations 4
1 Aleph. How is gold maad derk, the beste colour is chaungid? the stonys of the seyntuarie ben scaterid in the heed of alle stretis.
A la briyans lò a vin bese! Lò pi a pa menm ankò! Wòch tanp yo vide deyò nan tout kwen lari.
2 Beth. The noble sones of Sion, and clothid with the best gold, hou ben thei arettid in to erthene vessels, in to the werk of the hondis of a pottere?
Pyè presye a fis a Sion yo; ki gen valè kon lò fen, gade kijan yo konsidere kon veso tè, travay a potye a!
3 Gimel. But also lamyes maden nakid her tetis, yauen mylk to her whelpis; the douyter of my puple is cruel, as an ostrig in desert.
Menm chen mawon yo konn bay tete; yo kite pitit yo souse yo. Men fi a pèp mwen an te vin mechan kon yon otrich nan dezè.
4 Deleth. The tonge of the soukynge childe cleued to his palat in thirst; litle children axiden breed, and noon was that brak to hem.
Lang a ti bebe a kole nan fon bouch yo, tèlman yo swaf; ti piti yo mande pen, men pèsòn pa kase bay yo.
5 He. Thei that eeten lustfuli, perischiden in weies; thei that weren nurschid in cradels, biclippiden toordis.
Sila ki te konn manje ti manje delika yo, vin abandone nan lari. Sila ki te leve nan abiman an mov yo ap degaje yo chèche kaka bèf.
6 Vau. And the wickidnesse of the douyter of my puple is maad more than the synne of men of Sodom, that was distried in a moment, and hondis token not therynne.
Paske inikite a fi a pèp mwen an pi gwo ke peche Sodome, ki te boulvèse nan yon moman, san pa t gen men ki boulvèse l.
7 Zai. Nazareis therof weren whitere than snow, schynyngere than mylk; rodier than elde yuer, fairere than safire.
Prens li yo te pi pwòp ke lanèj. Yo te pi blan ke lèt. Yo te pi wouj pase koray. Yo te poli tankou pyè safì.
8 Heth. The face of hem was maad blackere than coolis, and thei weren not knowun in stretis; the skyn cleuyde to her boonys, it driede, and was maad as a tre.
Aparans yo koulye a pi nwa ke poud chabon. Yo pa menm rekonèt yo nan lari. Chè yo vin kole sou zo yo. Li fennen nèt. Li vin tankou bwa.
9 Teth. It was betere to men slayn with swerd, than to men slayn with hungur; for these men wexiden rotun, thei weren wastid of the bareynesse of erthe.
Pi bon se sila ki te touye ak nepe yo, ke sila ki touye ak grangou yo; paske yo vin chagren e epwize akoz mank fwi chan an.
10 Joth. The hondis of merciful wymmen sethiden her children; thei weren maad the metis of tho wymmen in the sorewe of the douyter of my puple.
Men a fanm ki te konn plen konpasyon yo te bouyi pwòp pitit yo. Yo te devni manje pou yo, akoz destriksyon a fi a pèp mwen an.
11 Caph. The Lord fillide his strong veniaunce, he schedde out the ire of his indignacioun; and the Lord kyndlide a fier in Sion, and it deuouride the foundementis therof.
SENYÈ a te acheve gwo kòlè Li a. Li te vide gwo kòlè Li a. Li te limen yon dife nan Sion, ki te manje tout fondasyon Li yo.
12 Lamet. The kyngis of erthe, and alle dwelleris of the world bileueden not, that an aduersarie and enemy schulde entre bi the yatis of Jerusalem.
Wa latè yo pa t kwè, ni okenn abitan nan mond lan, ke advèsè ak ènmi an ta ka antre nan pòtay Jérusalem nan.
13 Men. For the synnes of the profetis therof, and for wickidnessis of preestis therof, that schedden out the blood of iust men in the myddis therof.
Akoz peche a pwofèt li yo ak inikite a prèt li yo, ki te vèse nan mitan li san a moun ladwati yo.
14 Nun. Blynde men erryden in stretis, thei weren defoulid in blood; and whanne thei miyten not go, thei helden her hemmes.
Yo egare e avèg nan lari yo. Yo te vin souye ak san, jiskaske pèsòn pa t ka manyen abiman yo.
15 Samet. Thei crieden to hem, Departe awei, ye defoulide men, departe ye, go ye awei, nyle ye touche; forsothe thei chidden, and weren stirid; thei seiden among hethene men, God schal no more leie to, that he dwelle among hem.
“Sòti! Pa pwòp!” Yo te kriye a yo menm. “Sòti, sòti, pa touche!” Konsa yo te sove ale, e te mache toupatou. Pami nasyon yo, yo te di: “Yo p ap ka kontinye rete pami nou”.
16 Ayn. The face of the Lord departide hem, he schal no more leie to, that he biholde hem; thei weren not aschamed of the faces of preestis, nether thei hadden merci on eld men.
Prezans a SENYÈ a te gaye yo. Li p ap kontinye bay yo swen. Yo pa t onore prèt yo, Yo pa t respekte ansyen yo.
17 Phe. The while we stoden yit, oure iyen failiden to oure veyn help; whanne we bihelden ententif to a folc, that myyte not saue vs.
Malgre sa, zye nou febli. Chache sekou te vin initil. Nan chache, nou te chache pou yon nasyon ki pa t ka sove.
18 Sade. Oure steppis weren slidir in the weie of oure stretis; oure ende neiyede, oure daies weren fillid, for oure ende cam.
Konsa, yo te fè lachas dèyè nou jiskaske nou pa t ka mache nan lari nou yo. Lafen nou vin pwòch. Jou nou yo fin ranpli, paske dènye moman nou vin rive.
19 Coph. Oure pursueris weren swiftere than the eglis of heuene; thei pursueden vs on hillis, thei settiden buschementis to vs in desert.
Sila ki te kouri dèyè nou yo te pi vit pase èg k ap volè anlè. Yo te fè lachas sou nou nan mòn yo. Yo te kache tann anbiskad pou nou nan savann nan.
20 Res. The spirit of oure mouth, Crist the Lord, was takun in oure synnes; to whom we seiden, We schulen lyue in thi schadewe among hethene men.
Souf lè ki nan nen nou, nou menm ki onksyone de SENYÈ a, te vin kaptire nan twou fòs yo, de sila nou te konn di: “Anba lonbraj li, nou va viv pami nasyon yo”.
21 Syn. Thou douyter of Edom, make ioye, and be glad, that dwellist in the lond of Hus; the cuppe schal come also to thee, thou schalt be maad drunkun, and schalt be maad bare.
Rejwi e fè kè kontan, O fi a Edom nan, ki rete nan peyi Uts la. Tas la va fè wonn vin jwenn ou tou. Ou va vin sou. Ou va vin toutouni.
22 Thau. Thou douyter of Sion, thi wickidnesse is fillid; he schal not adde more, that he make thee to passe ouer; thou douyter of Edom, he schal visite thi wickidnesse, he schal vnhile thi synnes.
Pinisyon pou inikite nou yo fin konplete, O fi a Sion an. Li p ap ekzile nou ankò. Li va pini inikite nou an, O fi Edom an. Li va fè parèt tout peche ou yo!
