< Plenn 1 >
1 Jan lavil Jerizalèm te plen moun yon lè! Gade, jounen jòdi a li chita pou kont li! Li tankou yon fanm ki pèdi mari l'. Tout nasyon sou latè te respekte pouvwa li. Li te devan tout lòt lavil yo. Koulye a, men li tounen esklav!
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.
2 Tout lannwit l'ap plede kriye, dlo ap koule nan je l' san rete. Nan tout moun ki te renmen l' yo, li pa jwenn yonn menm pou konsole l'. Tout zanmi l' yo trayi l', yo tout fè l' lènmi koulye a.
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.
3 Yo depòte moun peyi Jida yo, y'ap peze yo. Y'ap kraze yo anba travay di. Moun peyi Jida yo ap viv nan lòt peyi. Yo pa gen kote pou yo poze kò yo. Tout moun ki pa vle wè yo sènen yo toupatou! Pa gen chape pou yo.
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.
4 Chemen ki mennen sou mòn Siyon yo blanch! Pesonn pa moute al fè sèvis jou fèt yo. Pòtay li yo vid. Prèt yo ap plenn. Tout medam ki konn chante yo nan lafliksyon. Mòn Siyon an nan gwo chagren.
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.
5 Lènmi l' yo pran pye sou li. Moun ki pa vle wè l' yo gen lapè avè l'. Seyè a ap fè l' soufri pou tout kantite peche li fè yo. Ata timoun piti yo depòte. Lènmi pouse yo mache devan yo!
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.
6 Lavil Jerizalèm pèdi tout prestij li. Chèf li yo tankou kabrit mawon ki pa jwenn zèb pou yo manje. Yo pa gen fòs pou yo kouri chape dèvan moun ki dèyè yo.
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.
7 Nan mizè kote yo ye a, nan pwonmennen toupatou sa a, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo chonje tout bèl bagay yo te gen nan tan lontan. Lè moun li yo tonbe anba men lènmi pesonn pa vin pote yo sekou. Moun ki pa vle wè l' yo ap pale sou li. Yo kontan wè jan yo fini avè l'.
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.
8 Lavil Jerizalèm te fè anpil peche! Li bay moun degoutans. Moun ki te konn gen respè pou li yo, koulye a yo pa gade l' menm. Li kanpe tankou yon fanm toutouni devan yo. Li menm, l'ap plenn, l'ap kache figi l' tèlman li wont.
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.
9 Malpwòpte te sou tout rad li, men li pa t' fè lide kote sa t'ap mennen l'. Li tonbe plat atè. Pesonn pa vin konsole li. Bondye papa m', gade nan ki mizè mwen ye non! Lènmi m' yo mete pye sou kou mwen.
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.
10 Lènmi l' yo vòlò tout bèl bagay li te genyen. Moun Bondye te defann mete pye nan tanp lan, li wè yo antre ata kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a.
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.
11 Tout moun ap plenn, y'ap chache manje pou yo manje! Yo bay tout byen yo pou yo sa jwenn manje, pou yo pa fin mouri. -Granmèt o, voye je ou gade m' non! Wè jan y'ap pase m' nan betiz!
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.
12 Nou tout k'ap pase la a, gade non! Sa pa di nou anyen? Pesonn pa janm pase sa m'ap pase la a. Se Bondye, Seyè a, ki ankòlè k'ap manyen avè m'.
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.
13 Li rete anwo, li voye dife sou mwen, yon dife ki boule tout anndan mwen. Li tann pèlen pou mwen, li fè m' tonbe atè, Li kite m' pou kont mwen. San rete m'ap kòde anba soufrans.
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.
14 Li make tout peche m' yo. Li fè yon pakèt ak yo. Li pandye yo nan kou m'. Yo sitèlman lou, m' pa kapab ankò! Bondye sèl Mèt la lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo. M' pa ka kenbe tèt ak yo.
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.
15 Bondye sèl Mèt la kraze tout vanyan gason m' te genyen yo anba pye l'. Li sanble yon foul moun pou yo atake m', pou yo touye tout jenn gason m' yo. Li kraze moun peyi Jida yo tankou kann nan moulen.
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.
16 Se poutèt sa m'ap kriye konsa! Dlo ap ponpe nan je m' san rete. Pa gen pesonn pou konsole m', pesonn pou ban m' kouraj. Lènmi m' yo gen pye yo sou kou mwen. Moun mwen yo pa gen anyen ankò.
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.
17 Mòn Siyon an lonje men l', men, pa gen pesonn pou ba l' kouraj. Seyè a rele tout moun ki pa vle wè peyi Jakòb la, pou yo sènen l' toupatou. Lavil Jerizalèm tounen malpwòpte nan mitan yo.
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.
18 Men, Seyè a gen rezon l' nan pla men l' paske mwen te refize koute l' lè li t'ap pale m'! Nou tout moun ki toupatou, koute m'! Gade jan m'ap soufri! Yo depòte jenn gason ak jenn fi m' yo.
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.
19 Mwen rele zanmi m' yo. Men, yo pa okipe m' menm! Prèt yo ak chèf fanmi yo mouri nan lavil la pandan y'ap chache manje pou yo reprann fòs.
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.
20 Seyè, gade jan kè m' sere non! Mwen boulvèse. Kè m' ap fè m' mal paske mwen te fè wòklò. Nan lari y'ap ansasinen mwen. Anndan kay menm, se pa pale!
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.
21 Koute jan m'ap plenn. Pa gen pesonn pou ban m' kouraj. Lènmi m' yo vin konnen nan ki malè mwen ye. Yo kontan wè se ou menm ki fè m' sa. Tanpri, fè jou ou te pwomèt la rive non, pou lènmi m' yo ka vin jan mwen ye a.
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.
22 Jije yo pou mechanste yo. Pini yo menm jan ou pini m' pou peche m' yo. M'ap plenn anpil. Kè m' ap fann.
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.
