Lamentations 1
1 Aleph. Hou sittith aloone the citee ful of puple? the ladi of folkis is maad as a widewe; the prince of prouynces is maad vndir tribute.
Tazama jinsi mji ulivyoachwa ukiwa, mji ambao zamani ulikuwa umejaa watu! Jinsi ambavyo umekuwa kama mama mjane, ambaye wakati fulani alikuwa maarufu miongoni mwa mataifa! Yule ambaye alikuwa malkia miongoni mwa majimbo sasa amekuwa mtumwa.
2 Beth. It wepynge wepte in the niyt, and the teeris therof ben in `the chekis therof; `noon is of alle the dereworthe therof, that coumfortith it; alle the frendis therof forsoken it, and ben maad enemyes to it.
Kwa uchungu, hulia sana usiku, machozi yapo kwenye mashavu yake. Miongoni mwa wapenzi wake wote hakuna yeyote wa kumfariji. Rafiki zake wote wamemsaliti, wamekuwa adui zake.
3 Gymel. Juda passide fro turment and multitude of seruage, it dwellide among hethene men, and foond no reste; alle the pursueris therof token it among angwischis.
Baada ya mateso na kufanyishwa kazi kikatili, Yuda amekwenda uhamishoni. Anakaa miongoni mwa mataifa, hapati mahali pa kupumzika. Wote ambao wanamsaka wamemkamata katikati ya dhiki yake.
4 Deleth. The weies of Sion mourenen, for no men comen to the solempnytee; alle the yatis therof ben distried, the prestis therof weilen; the vergyns therof ben defoulid, and it is oppressid with bitternesse.
Barabara zielekeazo Sayuni zaomboleza, kwa kuwa hakuna yeyote anayekuja kwenye sikukuu zake zilizoamriwa. Malango yake yote yamekuwa ukiwa, makuhani wake wanalia kwa uchungu, wanawali wake wanahuzunika, naye yuko katika uchungu wa maumivu makuu.
5 He. The enemyes therof ben maad in the heed, and the enemyes therof ben maad riche, for the Lord spak on it. For the multitude of wickidnessis therof the litle children therof ben led in to caitiftee, bifore the face of the troblere.
Adui zake wamekuwa mabwana zake, watesi wake wana raha. Bwana amemletea huzuni kwa sababu ya dhambi zake nyingi. Watoto wake wamekwenda uhamishoni, mateka mbele ya adui.
6 Vau. And al the fairnesse of the douyter of Syon yede out fro the douyter of Sion; the princes therof ben maad as rammes not fyndynge lesewis; and yeden forth withouten strengthe bifore the face of the suere.
Fahari yote imeondoka kutoka kwa Binti Sayuni. Wakuu wake wako kama ayala ambaye hapati malisho, katika udhaifu wamekimbia mbele ya anayewasaka.
7 Zai. And Jerusalem bithouyte on the daies of hir affliccioun and of trespassyng, and on alle hir desirable thingis whiche it hadde fro elde daies; whanne the puple therof felle doun in the hond of enemyes, and noon helpere was; enemyes sien it, and scorneden the sabatis therof.
Katika siku za mateso yake na kutangatanga, Yerusalemu hukumbuka hazina zote ambazo zilikuwa zake siku za kale. Wakati watu wake walipoanguka katika mikono ya adui, hapakuwepo na yeyote wa kumsaidia. Watesi wake walimtazama na kumcheka katika maangamizi yake.
8 Heth. Jerusalem synnede a synne, therfor it was maad vnstidfast; alle that glorifieden it forsoken it, for thei sien the schenschipe therof; forsothe it weilide, and was turned a bak.
Yerusalemu ametenda dhambi sana kwa hiyo amekuwa najisi. Wote waliomheshimu wanamdharau, kwa maana wameuona uchi wake. Yeye mwenyewe anapiga kite na kugeukia mbali.
9 Theth. The filthis therof ben in the feet therof, and it hadde no mynde of hir ende; it was putte doun greetli, and hadde no coumfortour; Lord, se thou my turment, for the enemye is reisid.
Uchafu wake umegandamana na nguo zake; hakuwaza juu ya maisha yake ya baadaye. Anguko lake lilikuwa la kushangaza, hapakuwepo na yeyote wa kumfariji. “Tazama, Ee Bwana, teso langu, kwa maana adui ameshinda.”
10 Joth. The enemye putte his hond to alle desirable thingis therof; for it siy hethene men entride in to thi seyntuarie, of which thou haddist comaundid, that thei schulden not entre in to thi chirche.
Adui ametia mikono juu ya hazina zake zote, aliona mataifa ya kipagani wakiingia mahali patakatifu pake, wale uliowakataza kuingia kwenye kusanyiko lako.
11 Caph. Al the puple therof was weilinge and sekynge breed, thei yauen alle preciouse thingis for mete, to coumforte the soule; se thou, Lord, and biholde, for Y am maad vijl.
Watu wake wote wanalia kwa uchungu watafutapo chakula; wanabadilisha hazina zao kwa chakula ili waweze kuendelea kuishi. “Tazama, Ee Bwana, ufikiri, kwa maana nimedharauliwa.”
12 Lameth. A! alle ye that passen bi the weie, perseyue, and se, if ony sorewe is as my sorewe; for he gaderide awei grapis fro me, as the Lord spak in the day of wraththe of his strong veniaunce.
“Je, si kitu kwenu, ninyi nyote mpitao kando? Angalieni kote mwone. Je, kuna maumivu kama maumivu yangu yale yaliyotiwa juu yangu, yale Bwana aliyoyaleta juu yangu katika siku ya hasira yake kali?
13 Men. Fro an hiy he sente fier in my boonys, and tauyte me; he spredde a brood a net to my feet, he turnede me a bak; he settide me desolat, meddlid togidere al dai with mourenyng.
“Kutoka juu alipeleka moto, akaushusha katika mifupa yangu. Aliitandia wavu miguu yangu na akanirudisha nyuma. Akanifanya mkiwa, na mdhaifu mchana kutwa.
14 Nun. The yok of my wickidnessis wakide in the hond of hym, tho ben foldid togidere, and put on my necke; my vertu is maad feble; the Lord yaf me in the hond, fro which Y schal not mowe rise.
“Dhambi zangu zimefungwa kwenye nira, kwa mikono yake zilifumwa pamoja. Zimefika shingoni mwangu na Bwana ameziondoa nguvu zangu. Amenitia mikononi mwa wale ambao siwezi kushindana nao.
15 Sameth. The Lord took awei alle my worschipful men fro the myddis of me; he clepide tyme ayens me, that he schulde al to-foule my chosun men; the Lord stampide a pressour to the virgyn, the douytir of Juda.
“Bwana amewakataa wapiganaji wa vita wote walio kati yangu, ameagiza jeshi dhidi yangu kuwaponda vijana wangu wa kiume. Katika shinikizo lake la divai Bwana amemkanyaga Bikira Binti Yuda.
16 Ayn. Therfor Y am wepynge, and myn iye is ledynge doun watir; for a coumfortour, conuertynge my soule, is maad fer fro me; my sones ben maad lost, for the enemye hadde the maistrie.
“Hii ndiyo sababu ninalia na macho yangu yanafurika machozi. Hakuna yeyote aliye karibu kunifariji, hakuna yeyote wa kuhuisha roho yangu. Watoto wangu ni wakiwa kwa sababu adui ameshinda.”
17 Phe. Sion spredde a brood hise hondis, noon is that coumfortith it; the Lord sente ayenus Jacob enemyes therof, in the cumpas therof; Jerusalem is maad as defoulid with vncleene blood among hem.
Sayuni ananyoosha mikono yake, lakini hakuna yeyote wa kumfariji. Bwana ametoa amri kwa ajili ya Yakobo kwamba majirani zake wawe adui zake; Yerusalemu umekuwa kitu najisi miongoni mwao.
18 Sade. The Lord is iust, for Y terride his mouth to wrathfulnesse; alle puplis, Y biseche, here ye, and se my sorewe; my virgyns and my yonge men yeden forth in to caitiftee.
“Bwana ni mwenye haki, hata hivyo niliasi dhidi ya amri yake. Sikilizeni, enyi mataifa yote, tazameni maumivu yangu. Wavulana wangu na wasichana wangu wamekwenda uhamishoni.
19 Coth. I clepide my frendis, and thei disseyueden me; my prestis and myn elde men in the citee ben wastid; for thei souyten mete to hem silf, to coumforte hir lijf.
“Niliita washirika wangu lakini walinisaliti. Makuhani wangu na wazee wangu waliangamia mjini walipokuwa wakitafuta chakula ili waweze kuishi.
20 Res. Se thou, Lord, for Y am troblid, my wombe is disturblid; myn herte is distried in my silf, for Y am ful of bittirnesse; swerd sleeth with outforth, and lijk deth is at hoome.
“Angalia, Ee Bwana, jinsi nilivyo katika dhiki! Nina maumivu makali ndani yangu, nami ninahangaika moyoni mwangu, kwa kuwa nimekuwa mwasi sana. Huko nje, upanga unaua watu, ndani, kipo kifo tu.
21 Syn. Thei herden, that Y make ynward weilyng, and noon is that coumfortith me; alle myn enemyes herden myn yuel, thei ben glad, for thou hast do; thou hast brouyt a dai of coumfort, and thei schulen be maad lijk me.
“Watu wamesikia ninavyolia kwa uchungu, lakini hakuna yeyote wa kunifariji. Adui zangu wote wamesikia juu ya dhiki yangu, wanafurahia lile ulilolitenda. Naomba uilete siku uliyoitangaza ili wawe kama mimi.
22 Tau. Al the yuel of hem entre byfore thee, and gadere thou grapis awei fro hem, as thou hast gaderid grapis awei fro me; for my wickidnessis, for my weilyngis ben manye, and myn herte is mornynge.
“Uovu wao wote na uje mbele zako; uwashughulikie wao kama vile ulivyonishughulikia mimi kwa sababu ya dhambi zangu zote. Kulia kwangu kwa uchungu ni kwingi na moyo wangu umedhoofika.”
