Macakaya 2
1 Hĩ! Kaĩ Mwathani nĩakĩhumbĩrĩte Mwarĩ wa Zayuni na itu rĩa marakara make-ĩ! Nĩatungumanĩtie riiri wa Isiraeli, akaũharũrũkia kuuma igũrũ nginya thĩ; ndaaririkanire gaturwa ka magũrũ make, mũthenya ũrĩa aarakarire.
How YHWH covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger. He has cast down from heaven to the earth the splendor of Israel, and hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 Mwathani-rĩ, nĩameretie itũũro ciothe cia Jakubu atarĩ na tha; nĩamomorete ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Mwarĩ wa Juda arĩ na marakara. Nĩagũithĩtie ũthamaki wa Mwarĩ wa Juda, na akagũithia anene ake, akamaconorithia.
YHWH has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground; he has humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.
3 Rũhĩa rwa Isiraeli ruothe arũrengete arĩ na marakara mahiũ. Nĩeheretie guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, gũkameeherera o rĩrĩa thũ ciamakuhĩrĩria. Nĩgũcina acinĩte Jakubu ta mwaki ũkũrĩrĩmbũka, ũrĩa ũcinaga kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ hakuhĩ naguo.
He has cut off in fierce anger all the strength of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the enemy. He has blazed in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
4 Ageetete ũta wake o ta thũ; guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo nĩ kwĩhaarĩirie. Arĩa othe maatũire makenagia maitho-rĩ, amooragĩte o ta marĩ thũ; hema ya Mwarĩ wa Zayuni amĩitĩrĩirie mangʼũrĩ make mahaana ta mwaki.
He has bent his bow like an enemy; his right hand he has positioned like an adversary. He killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 Mwathani-rĩ, atuĩkĩte ta thũ; nĩameretie Isiraeli. Nĩameretie nyũmba ciake ciothe cia ũthamaki, na akaananga ciĩhitho ciake iria nũmu. Nĩaingĩhĩirie Mwarĩ wa Juda gũcakaya na kũgirĩka.
YHWH has become as an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel; he has swallowed up all her palaces and has destroyed its strongholds. He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 Nĩonũhĩte gĩikaro gĩake ta mũgũnda; nĩanangĩte handũ hake ha gũtũnganĩrwo. Jehova nĩatũmĩte Zayuni ariganĩrwo nĩ ciathĩ ciake iria njathane, o hamwe na Thabatũ ciake; nĩ ũndũ wa marakara make mahiũ-rĩ, akanyarara mũthamaki, o hamwe na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. YHWH has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.
7 Mwathani nĩaregete kĩgongona gĩake, na agatiganĩria handũ hake harĩa haamũre. Nĩaneanĩte thingo cia nyũmba ciake cia ũthamaki kũrĩ thũ; iraanĩrĩra irĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o taarĩ mũthenya wa gĩathĩ kĩrĩa gĩathane.
YHWH has rejected his altar, he has disowned his sanctuary, and has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces. They have made a shout in the house of YHWH, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 Jehova nĩatuire itua rĩa kũmomora rũthingo rũrĩa rũthiũrũrũkĩirie Mwarĩ wa Zayuni. Nĩatambũrũkirie rũrigi rwa gũthima, na ndaagiririe guoko gwake gũtige kũrwananga. Nĩatũmire njirigo na thingo icakaye; o cierĩ igĩgĩtuĩka cia kwanangĩka.
YHWH has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
9 Ihingo ciakuo nĩihorokeire na thĩ; mĩgĩĩko yacio nĩamiunangĩte, akamĩananga. Mũthamaki na anene akuo nĩmatahĩtwo magatwarwo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, watho rĩu ndũrutanagwo, na anabii akuo nĩmatigire kuona cioneki ciumĩte kũrĩ Jehova.
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from YHWH.
10 Athuuri a kũu kwa Mwarĩ wa Zayuni maikarĩte thĩ makirĩte ki; nao nĩmehurĩirie rũkũngũ mĩtwe, na makehumba nguo cia makũnia. Airĩtu a Jerusalemu mainamĩrĩire maturumithĩtie mĩtwe yao thĩ.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have cast up dust on their heads; they have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Maitho makwa nĩmaroora nĩ kũrĩra, ngatangĩka thĩinĩ wakwa, naguo roho wakwa nĩũitũrũrĩirwo thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ akwa kwanangwo, nĩgũkorwo twana na tũkenge tũraringĩkĩra njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩrĩa inene.
My eyes are worn out from weeping, my stomach is churning. My heart is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 Tũrooria manyina atĩrĩ, “Irio na ndibei irĩ ha?” o tũkĩringĩkaga ta andũ matiihĩirio njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩrĩa inene, o mĩoyo yatuo ĩgĩthiragĩra moko-inĩ ma manyina.
They tell their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" When they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in their mothers' bosom.
13 Ingĩkiuga atĩa nĩ ũndũ waku? Ingĩkũgerekania nakĩ, wee Mwarĩ ũyũ wa Jerusalemu? Ingĩkũhaanania nakĩ, nĩguo ngũhoorerie, wee Mwarĩ ũyũ Gathirange wa Zayuni? Kĩronda gĩaku kĩrikĩte o ta iria. Nũũ ũngĩhota gũkũhonia?
What shall I testify of you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is great like the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Cioneki iria anabii aku moonaga ciarĩ cia tũhũ na cia maheeni; matiigana kũmũguũrĩria mehia manyu nĩguo magirĩrĩrie gũtahwo kwanyu. Ndũmĩrĩri iria maamũheire ciarĩ cia maheeni, na cia kũmũhĩtithia.
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false and misleading oracles.
15 Ehĩtũkĩri othe mahũũraga hĩ; mathekaga makĩinainagĩria Mwarĩ ũyũ wa Jerusalemu mĩtwe, makĩũragia atĩrĩ: “Ĩĩ rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩetagwo ũthaka ũrĩa mũkinyanĩru biũ, na rĩgeetwo gĩkeno gĩa thĩ yothe?”
All that pass by clap their hands at you, they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, "Is this the city that men called 'The perfection of beauty,' 'The joy of the whole earth'?"
16 Thũ ciaku ciothe ciathamagia tũnua igũũkĩrĩre; igũthekagĩrĩra na ikahagarania magego, ikoiga atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ nĩtũmũmeretie. Ũyũ nĩguo mũthenya ũrĩa tũtũire twetereire, na rĩu nĩtũwonete.”
All your enemies have opened wide their mouth against you. They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, "We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it."
17 Jehova nĩarĩkĩtie gwĩka ũrĩa aathugundĩte; we nĩahingĩtie kiugo gĩake, kĩrĩa aathanire o matukũ ma tene. Akũngʼaũranĩtie ategũkũiguĩra tha, atũmĩte thũ igũkenerere, rũhĩa rwa amuku aku nĩruo atũgĩrĩtie.
YHWH has done that which he purposed, he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to gloat over you and exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 Ngoro cia andũ nĩirakaĩra Mwathani. Atĩrĩrĩ, wee rũthingo rũrũ rwa Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, reke maithori maku manyũrũrũke ta rũũĩ mũthenya na ũtukũ; ndũkahurũke, kana ũreke maitho maku mahurũke.
Their heart cried to YHWH. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no respite; do not let your tears cease.
19 Arahũka, ũkayũrũrũke ũtukũ, rĩrĩa ũrangĩri wa ũtukũ wambagĩrĩria; itũrũraga ngoro yaku ta maaĩ mbere ya Mwathani. Ambararia moko maku na igũrũ kũrĩ we nĩ ũndũ wa mĩoyo ya ciana ciaku, o icio iraringĩka nĩ ngʼaragu magomano-inĩ ma njĩra ciothe.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of YHWH. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 “Wee Jehova, ta rora, na ũcũũranie: Nũũ ũngĩ wee ũrĩ weka ũguo? Andũ-a-nja nĩmagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrĩa maciaro mao, o ciana iria marerete? Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na mũnabii nĩmagĩrĩire kũũragagĩrwo handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Mwathani?
Look, YHWH, and see to whom you have done like this. Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of YHWH?
21 “Andũ ethĩ o na arĩa akũrũ makomete hamwe rũkũngũ-inĩ rwa njĩra, aanake akwa na airĩtu moragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Ũmoragĩte mũthenya ũrĩa ũrakarĩte; ũmoragĩte ũtekũmaiguĩra tha.
The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, without pity.
22 “O ta ũrĩa wĩtanaga mũthenya wa gĩathĩ-rĩ, noguo ũnjĩtĩire maũndũ ma kũnguoyohia, makandigiicĩria mĩena yothe o taarĩ mũthenya wa gĩathĩ. Mũthenya wa marakara ma Jehova-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wahonokire kana agĩtigara; arĩa ndarũmbũirie na ngĩrera-rĩ, thũ yakwa nĩĩmanangĩte.”
You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was none that escaped or remained in the day of YHWH's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
