Lamentations 2
1 How doth the Lord cloud in His anger the daughter of Zion, He hath cast from heaven [to] earth the beauty of Israel, And hath not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger.
Haa, Ambuye waphimba mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni ndi mtambo wa mkwiyo wake! Iye wataya pansi ulemerero wa Israeli kuchoka kumwamba. Pa tsiku la mkwiyo wake Iye sanakumbukirenso popondapo mapazi ake.
2 Swallowed up hath the Lord, He hath not pitied any of the pleasant places of Jacob, He hath broken down in His wrath The fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He hath caused to come to the earth, He polluted the kingdom and its princes.
Ambuye anawononga midzi yonse ya Yakobo mopanda chifundo; mu mkwiyo wake anagwetsa malinga a mwana wamkazi wa Yuda. Anagwetsa pansi mochititsa manyazi maufumu ndi akalonga ake.
3 He hath cut off in the heat of anger every horn of Israel, He hath turned backward His right hand From the face of the enemy, And He burneth against Jacob as a flaming fire, It hath devoured round about.
Atakwiya kwambiri, Ambuye anathyola nyanga iliyonse ya Israeli. Anabweza dzanja lake lamanja pamene mdani anamuyandikira. Ambuye anatentha fuko la Yakobo ngati moto wonyeketsa umene umawononga zinthu zonse zomwe zili pafupi.
4 He hath trodden His bow as an enemy, Stood hath His right hand as an adversary, And He slayeth all the desirable ones of the eye, In the tent of the daughter of Zion, He hath poured out as fire His fury.
Wakokera uta wake pa ife ngati ndife adani; wayimiritsa dzanja lake pa ife ngati ndife adani, ndipo anapha onse amene tinkawayangʼana monyadira. Ukali wake ukuyaka ngati moto pa tenti ya mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni.
5 The Lord hath been as an enemy, He hath swallowed up Israel, He hath swallowed up all her palaces, He hath destroyed His fortresses, And He multiplieth in the daughter of Judah Mourning and moaning.
Ambuye ali ngati mdani; wawonongeratu Israeli; wawonongeratu nyumba zake zonse zaufumu ndipo wawononga malinga ake. Iye wachulukitsa kubuma ndi kulira kwa mwana wamkazi wa Yuda.
6 And He shaketh as a garden His tabernacle, He hath destroyed His appointed place, Jehovah hath forgotten in Zion the appointed time and sabbath, And despiseth, in the indignation of His anger, king and priest.
Wagwetsa malo ake okhalamo ngati khumbi la mʼmunda; wawononga malo ake a msonkhano. Yehova wayiwalitsa Ziyoni maphwando ake oyikika ndi masabata ake. Mokwiya kwambiri, Iye ananyoza mfumu ndi wansembe.
7 The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath rejected His sanctuary, He hath shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of Jehovah Like a day of appointment.
Ambuye wakana guwa lake la nsembe ndipo wasiya malo ake opatulika. Iye wapereka makoma a nyumba zake zaufumu kwa mdani wake; adaniwo anafuwula mʼnyumba ya Yehova ngati kuti ndi pa tsiku la chikondwerero.
8 Devised hath Jehovah to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He hath stretched out a line, He hath not turned His hand from destroying, And He causeth bulwark and wall to mourn, Together — they have been weak.
Yehova anatsimikiza kugwetsa makoma a mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni. Anawayesa ndi chingwe ndipo sanafune kuleka kuwagwetsa. Analiritsa malinga ndi makoma; onse anawonongeka pamodzi.
9 Sunk into the earth have her gates, He hath destroyed and broken her bars, Her king and her princes [are] among the nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found vision from Jehovah.
Zipata za Yerusalemu zalowa pansi; wathyola ndi kuwononga mipiringidzo yake. Mfumu ndi akalonga ake agwidwa ukapolo pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, palibenso lamulo, ndipo aneneri ake sakupeza masomphenya kuchokera kwa Yehova.
10 Sit on the earth — keep silent do the elders of the daughter of Zion, They have caused dust to go up on their head, They have girded on sackcloth, Put down to the earth their head have the virgins of Jerusalem.
Akuluakulu a mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni akhala chete pansi; awaza fumbi pa mitu yawo ndipo avala ziguduli. Anamwali a Yerusalemu aweramitsa mitu yawo pansi.
11 Consumed by tears have been my eyes, Troubled have been my bowels, Poured out to the earth hath been my liver, For the breach of the daughter of my people; In infant and suckling being feeble, In the broad places of the city,
Maso anga atopa ndi kulira, ndazunzika mʼmoyo mwanga, mtima wanga wadzaza ndi chisoni chifukwa anthu anga akuwonongeka, chifukwa ana ndi makanda akukomoka mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda.
12 To their mothers they say, 'Where [are] corn and wine?' In their becoming feeble as a pierced one In the broad places of the city, In their soul pouring itself out into the bosom of their mothers.
Anawo akufunsa amayi awo kuti, “Kodi tirigu ndi vinyo zili kuti?” pamene akukomoka ngati anthu olasidwa mʼmisewu ya mʼmizinda, pamene miyoyo yawo ikufowoka mʼmanja mwa amayi awo.
13 What do I testify [to] thee, what do I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What do I equal to thee, and I comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as a sea [is] thy breach, Who doth give healing to thee?
Ndinganene chiyani za iwe? Ndingakufanizire ndi chiyani, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu? Kodi ndingakufanizire ndi yani kuti ndikutonthoze, iwe namwali wa Ziyoni? Chilonda chako ndi chozama ngati nyanja, kodi ndani angakuchiritse?
14 Thy prophets have seen for thee a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning thine iniquity, To turn back thy captivity, And they see for thee false burdens and causes of expulsion.
Masomphenya a aneneri ako anali abodza ndi achabechabe. Iwo sanakupulumutse kuti usapite ku ukapolo poyika poyera mphulupulu zako. Mauthenga amene anakupatsa anali achabechabe ndi osocheretsa.
15 Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed — and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: 'Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?'
Onse oyenda mʼnjira yako akukuwombera mʼmanja; akugwedeza mitu yawo ndi kukunyodola iwe mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu: “Kodi mzinda uja ndi uwu umene unkatchedwa wokongola kotheratu, chimwemwe cha dziko lonse lapansi?”
16 Opened against thee their mouth have all thine enemies, They have hissed, yea, they gnash the teeth, They have said: 'We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we looked for, We have found — we have seen.'
Adani ako onse akutsekulira pakamwa ndi kukunyoza; iwo akunyogodola ndi kukukuta mano awo, ndipo akuti, “Tamumeza. Tsiku ili ndi lomwe timayembekezera; tili ndi moyo kuti tilione.”
17 Jehovah hath done that which He devised, He hath fulfilled His saying That He commanded from the days of old, He hath broken down and hath not pitied, And causeth an enemy to rejoice over thee, He lifted up the horn of thine adversaries.
Yehova wachita chimene anakonzeratu; wakwaniritsa mawu ake, amene anatsimikiza kale lomwe. Wakuwononga mopanda chifundo, walola mdani kuti akondwere chifukwa cha kugwa kwako, wakweza mphamvu za adani ako.
18 Cried hath their heart unto the Lord; O wall of the daughter of Zion, Cause to go down as a stream tears daily and nightly, Give not rest to thyself, Let not the daughter of thine eye stand still.
Mitima ya anthu ikufuwulira Ambuye. Iwe khoma la mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, misozi yako itsike ngati mtsinje usana ndi usiku; usadzipatse wekha mpumulo, maso ako asaleke kukhetsa misozi.
19 Arise, cry aloud in the night, At the beginning of the watches. Pour out as water thy heart, Over against the face of the Lord, Lift up unto Him thy hands, for the soul of thine infants, Who are feeble with hunger at the head of all out-places.
Dzuka, fuwula usiku, pamene alonda ayamba kulondera; khuthula mtima wako ngati madzi pamaso pa Ambuye. Kweza manja ako kwa Iye chifukwa cha miyoyo ya ana ako, amene akukomoka ndi njala mʼmisewu yonse ya mu mzinda.
20 See, O Jehovah, and look attentively, To whom Thou hast acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth? Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and prophet?
Inu Yehova, onani, ndipo ganizirani: kodi ndani amene mwamuchitirapo zinthu ngati izi? Kodi amayi adye ana awo, amene amawasamalira? Kodi ansembe ndi aneneri awaphere mʼmalo opatulika a Ambuye?
21 Lain on the earth [in] out-places have young and old, My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword, Thou hast slain in a day of Thine anger, Thou hast slaughtered — Thou hast not pitied.
Anyamata ndi okalamba aligone pamodzi pa fumbi la mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda; anyamata anga ndi anamwali anga aphedwa ndi lupanga. Inu Yehova mwawapha pa tsiku la mkwiyo wanu; mwawapha mopanda chifundo.
22 Thou dost call as [at] a day of appointment, My fears from round about, And there hath not been in the day of the anger of Jehovah, An escaped and remaining one, They whom I stretched out and nourished, My enemy hath consumed!
Ngati momwe mumayitanira pa tsiku la phwando, chimodzimodzinso mwandiyitanira zoopsa mbali zonse. Pa tsiku limene Yehova wakwiya palibe amene angathawe ndi kukhala ndi moyo; mdani wanga wawononga onse amene ndinkawasamala ndi kuwalera.
