Lamentations 1
1 How hath she sat alone, The city abounding with people! She hath been as a widow, The mighty among nations! Princes among provinces, She hath become tributary!
A la sèl, vil ki te konn plen moun nan chita sèl! Li vin tankou yon vèv ki te konn byen pwisan pami nasyon yo! Sila ki te konn yon fanm byen gran pami nasyon yo! Li menm ki te yon prensès pami pwovens yo, Koulye a, se travo fòse li oblije fè!
2 She weepeth sore in the night, And her tear [is] on her cheeks, There is no comforter for her out of all her lovers, All her friends dealt treacherously by her, They have been to her for enemies.
Li kriye byen anmè nan nwit lan. Dlo zye li kouri desann figi l. Pami tout sila ki te renmen l yo, nanpwen moun ki pou bay li rekonfò. Tout zanmi li yo fè l trèt; yo te tounen lènmi l.
3 Removed hath Judah because of affliction, And because of the abundance of her service; She hath dwelt among nations, She hath not found rest, All her pursuers have overtaken her between the straits.
Juda antre an egzil anba gwo opresyon; anba esklavaj byen di. Li demere pami nasyon yo; pou repo, nanpwen. Tout sila k ap pesekite l yo, fin sezi li nan mitan gwo twoub li.
4 The ways of Zion are mourning, Without any coming at the appointed time, All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, Her virgins are afflicted — and she hath bitterness.
Chemen Sion yo ap fè dèy; pèsòn pa rive nan fèt li yo. Tout pòtay li yo vin dezole. Prèt li yo ap plenn nan gòj, vyèj li yo vin aflije, e li menm, li vin anmè.
5 Her adversaries have become chief, Her enemies have been at ease, For Jehovah hath afflicted her, For the abundance of her transgressions, Her infants have gone captive before the adversary.
Advèsè li yo te vin mèt li. Lènmi li yo ap byen reyisi; paske SENYÈ a te koze doulè l, akoz gwo kantite transgresyon li yo. Pitit li yo se prizonye devan advèsè yo.
6 And go out from the daughter of Zion doth all her honour, Her princes have been as harts — They have not found pasture, And they go powerless before a pursuer.
Tout majeste fin kite fi a Sion an. Prens li yo vin tankou sèf ki pa t jwenn patiraj. Yo sove ale san rezistans devan mèt lachas la.
7 Remembered hath Jerusalem [In] the days of her affliction and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an adversary, And she hath no helper; Seen her have adversaries, They have laughed at her cessation.
Jérusalem sonje tout bagay presye li yo nan jou afliksyon li. Tout bèl bagay ki te la depi nan jou ansyen yo; lè pèp li a te tonbe nan men a advèsè a, e pat gen okenn ki pou ede l. Advèsè yo te wè l. Yo te giyonnen l akoz tristes li.
8 A sin hath Jerusalem sinned, Therefore impure she hath become, All who honoured her have esteemed her lightly, For they have seen her nakedness, Yea, she herself hath sighed and turneth backward.
Jérusalem te fè gwo peche. Konsa, li te vin yon bagay ki pa pwòp. Tout sila ki te konn louwe l yo, meprize l akoz yo te wè li toutouni. Menm li menm plenn nan gòj, e vire an ayè.
9 Her uncleanness [is] in her skirts, She hath not remembered her latter end, And she cometh down wonderfully, There is no comforter for her. See, O Jehovah, mine affliction, For exerted himself hath an enemy.
Depi nan jip li, salte a te la. Li pa t konsidere davni li. Akoz sa li te vin tonbe yon fason etonan. Napwan moun pou konsole l. “Gade, O SENYÈ, afliksyon mwen an; paske ènmi an vante tèt. Li vin ògeye!”
10 His hand spread out hath an adversary On all her desirable things, For she hath seen — Nations have entered her sanctuary, Concerning which Thou didst command, 'They do not come into the assembly to thee.'
Advèsè a te lonje men l sou tout bagay presye fi a te genyen; li te wè ènmi yo antre nan sanktyè li a; sila ke Ou menm te kòmande pou yo pa antre nan asanble Ou a.
11 All her people are sighing — seeking bread, They have given their desirable things For food to refresh the body; See, O Jehovah, and behold attentively, For I have been lightly esteemed.
Tout pèp li a plenn nan gòj. Yap chache pen. Tout sa ak valè deja vèse bay pou manje, pou kenbe nanm yo vivan an. “Gade, O SENYÈ, paske mwen vin meprize.”
12 [Is it] nothing to you, all ye passing by the way? Look attentively, and see, If there is any pain like my pain, That He is rolling to me? Whom Jehovah hath afflicted In the day of the fierceness of His anger.
Èske sa pa anyen pou nou tout ki pase nan wout sa a? Gade pou wè si genyen yon doulè ki tankou doulè mwen an, doulè ki te pase vin nan men m nan, avèk sila SENYÈ a te aflije m nan jou a gran kòlè Li a.
13 From above He hath sent fire into my bone, And it subdueth it, He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me backward, He hath made me desolate — all the day sick.
Soti anwo, Li te voye dife antre nan zo m, e lap dominen yo. Li te ouvri yon pèlen pou pye m; Li te fè m vire fè bak. Li te fè m vin dezole, fèb tout lajounen.
14 Bound hath been the yoke of my transgressions by His hand, They are wrapped together, They have gone up on my neck, He hath caused my power to stumble, The Lord hath given me into hands, I am not able to rise.
Jouk transgresyon mwen yo vin mare; ak men Li yo koude nèt ansanm. Yo te rive jis nan kou m; Li te fè fòs mwen vin kraze disparèt. Senyè a te livre m nan men a sila yo; kont yo, mwen pa ka kanpe.
15 Trodden down all my mighty ones hath the Lord in my midst, He proclaimed against me an appointed time, To destroy my young men, A wine-press hath the Lord trodden, To the virgin daughter of Judah.
Senyè a te rejte tout mesye pwisan ki nan mitan m yo. Li te rele yon asanble solanèl kont mwen pou kraze jennonm mwen yo. Senyè a te foule, konsi se nan yon pèz rezen, fi vyèj a Juda a.
16 For these I am weeping, My eye, my eye, is running down with waters, For, far from me hath been a comforter, Refreshing my soul, My sons have been desolate, For mighty hath been an enemy.
Pou bagay sa yo, mwen ap kriye. Zye m koule ak dlo. Konsolatè kap refreshi nanm mwen lwen m, Nanpwen okenn ki ta ka konsole mwen, okenn ki ta ka restore nanm mwen. Pitit mwen yo vin dezole akoz ènmi an te vin genyen.
17 Spread forth hath Zion her hands, There is no comforter for her, Jehovah hath charged concerning Jacob, His neighbours [are] his adversaries, Jerusalem hath become impure among them.
Sion lonje men l ouvri nèt. Nanpwen ki pou konsole l. SENYÈ a te bay lòd konsènan Jacob, ke sila ki antoure l yo ta lènmi avè l. Jérusalem te devni yon bagay pa pwòp pami yo.
18 Righteous is Jehovah, For His mouth I have provoked. Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
SENYÈ a jis; paske mwen te fè rebèl kont lòd Li. Tande koulye a, tout pèp yo e gade byen doulè m nan. Vyèj mwen yo ak jennonm mwen yo te antre an kaptivite.
19 I called for my lovers, they — they have deceived me, My priests and my elders in the city have expired; When they have sought food for themselves, Then they give back their soul.
Mwen te rele vè renmen mwen yo, men yo te fè m desi. Prèt mwen yo ak ansyen mwen yo te peri nan vil la pandan yo t ap chache manje pou restore fòs yo pou kont yo.
20 See, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, My bowels have been troubled, Turned hath been my heart in my midst, For I have greatly provoked, From without bereaved hath the sword, In the house [it is] as death.
Gade, O SENYÈ, paske mwen nan gwo twoub. Lespri m twouble anpil; kè m boulvèse anndan m, paske mwen te fè rebèl anpil. Nan lari, se nepe k ap touye; nan kay, se tankou lanmò.
21 They have heard that I have sighed, There is no comforter for me, All my enemies have heard of my calamity, They have rejoiced that Thou hast done [it], Thou hast brought in the day Thou hast called, And they are like to me.
Yo te tande ke m ap plenyen nan gòj; men nanpwen ki pou konsole m. Tout lènmi mwen yo tande afè gwo malè m nan. Yo kontan Ou te fè sa. O ke Ou ta mennen jou ke Ou te pwoklame a, pou yo ka vin tankou mwen.
22 Come in doth all their evil before Thee, And one is doing to them as Thou hast done to me, For all my transgressions, For many [are] my sighs, and my heart [is] sick!
Kite tout mechanste yo vini devan Ou. Konsa, aji avèk yo kon Ou te aji avè m nan, pou tout transgresyon mwen yo. Paske plent k ap sòti anndan m yo anpil e kè m vin fèb nèt.
