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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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?'
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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?
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 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.
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 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!
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.
