Plenn 2
1 Bondye sèl Mèt la fè kòlè, li voye yon gwo nwaj nwa kouvri lavil Jerizalèm. Tou sa ki te fè respè pèp Izrayèl la, li kraze l' anba pye l'. Jou li fè kòlè a, ata tanp kote li poze pye l' la, li pa chonje l'.
ALEPH. O how the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with gloom in his fury! O how he has thrown down from heaven to earth the famous one of Israel, and he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his fury.
2 Bondye sèl Mèt la te san pitye, li devaste dènye jaden moun fanmi Jakòb yo. Li fè yon sèl kòlè, li kraze tout fò ki te pwoteje peyi Jida a. Li trennen gouvènman an ansanm ak tout chèf yo nan labou. Li fè yo wont.
BETH. The Lord has cast down, and he has not been lenient, with all the beauties of Jacob. In his fury, he has destroyed the fortifications of the virgin of Judah, and he has thrown them down to the ground. He has polluted the kingdom and its leaders.
3 Nan gwo kòlè li, li kraze tout fòs kouraj pèp Izrayèl la. Li derefize ede nou lè lènmi atake nou. Li move sou nou, li te tankou yon dife k'ap boule dènye bagay alawonn.
GHIMEL. In the anger of his fury, he has broken the entire horn of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the face of the enemy. And he has kindled within Jacob a flaming fire, devouring all around.
4 Li atake nou, li tonbe sou nou tankou yon lènmi. Li touye tou sa ki te fè plezi ak kontantman nou. Jouk anndan lakay nou, li fè nou santi jan li move sou nou.
DALETH. He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has fixed his right hand like an adversary. And he has cut down all that was beautiful to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion. He has poured out his indignation like fire.
5 Tankou yon lènmi, Bondye sèl Mèt la fini ak pèp Izrayèl la. Li kraze dènye gwo kay li yo, li detwi tout fò li yo. Li fè moun peyi Jida yo rete ap plenn sou plenn.
HE. The Lord has become like an enemy. He has thrown down Israel. He has thrown down all of his defenses. He has torn apart his fortifications. And he has filled the daughter of Judah with humbled men and humbled women.
6 Li fè tanp lan tounen tankou yon jaden vòlò devaste. Li kraze kote li konn gen randevou ak pèp la. Li fè sispann tout jou fèt, tout jou repo sou mòn Siyon an. Li move ata sou wa ak prèt yo. Yo tout pase anba men l'.
VAU. And he has torn apart her tent like a garden. He has demolished her tabernacle. In Zion, the Lord has delivered feast and Sabbath into oblivion, and king and priest into disgrace, and into the indignation of his fury.
7 Bondye sèl Mèt la voye lotèl li a jete. Li pa vle wè kay yo te mete apa pou li a. Li kite lènmi yo kraze miray gwo kay yo. Lènmi yo fè fèt, yo rele byen fò nan kay Seyè a tankou lè n'ap fè seremoni pou li.
ZAIN. The Lord has pushed away his own altar. He has cursed his own sanctuary. He has delivered the walls of its towers into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as if on the day of a solemnity.
8 Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, te soti pou l' kraze miray lavil Siyon an. Li fè plan pou lè l' kraze l', li kraze l' nèt. Miray fò yo ak miray ranpa yo tonbe, yo kraze ansanm.
HETH. The Lord has decided to tear down the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out his measuring line, and he has not turned away his hand from perdition. And the rampart has mourned, and with the wall it has been torn apart.
9 Pòtay yo atè kouvri anba fatra. Ba pòtay yo kase, yo pa ka sèvi ankò. Yo depòte wa a ak chèf yo nan peyi etranje. Pa gen pesonn pou moutre sa ki nan lalwa. Menm pwofèt yo, Bondye pa pale ak yo nan vizyon ankò.
TETH. Her gates have been buried in the ground. He has ruined and crushed its bars. Her king and her princes are with the Gentiles. There is no law, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
10 Chèf fanmi lavil Jerizalèm yo chita atè, men nan machwè! Yo nan gwo lapenn, yo voye pousyè sou tèt yo, yo mete rad sak sou yo. Jenn fi yo menm rete tèt bese.
JOD. The elders of the daughter of Zion have become idle; they sit on the ground. They have sprinkled their heads with ashes. They have been wrapped with haircloth. The virgins of Jerusalem have cast their heads down to the ground.
11 Je m' wouj afòs mwen kriye. Kè m' sere. M' pèdi kouraj lè m' wè jan pèp mwen an ap fini, jan timoun yo ak ti bebe yo ap tonbe endispoze nan mitan lari kapital la.
CAPH. My eyes have exhausted their tears. My internal organs have become disturbed. My liver has been poured out on the earth, over the grief of the daughter of my people, when the little ones and the infants passed away in the streets of the town.
12 Y'ap rele manman yo, Y'ap kriye pou pen ak dlo sikre. Yo tonbe san konesans nan lari a tankou moun ki blese, yo mouri nan bra manman yo.
LAMED. They said to their mothers, “Where is the wheat and the wine?” when they fell like the wounded in the streets of the city, when they breathed out their lives into the bosoms of their mothers.
13 Aa! Jerizalèm, kisa pou m' di ou la a! Ak ki moun pou m' ta konpare sò ou? Ki jan pou m' ankouraje ou? Pesonn pa janm soufri konsa. Malè ki tonbe sou ou a pa gen limit, li gwosè lanmè a! Pesonn pa ka fè anyen pou ou ankò!
MEM. To what shall I compare you, or to what shall I liken you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what shall I equate you, so as to console you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your destruction is as great as the sea. Who will cure you?
14 Pwofèt yo pa wè anyen pou yo di ou pase manti ak radòt. Yo kase fèy kouvri peche ou yo pou ou. Yo fè ou pèdi chans ou te gen pou ou te kanpe ankò a. Yo pa wè anyen pou yo di ou. Y'ap ba ou manti, y'ap pete ou.
NUN. Your prophets have seen false and foolish things for you. And they have not laid open your iniquity, so as to provoke you to repentance. Yet they have seen for you false revelations and banishments.
15 Tout moun sou granchemen an ap rele chalbari dèyè ou. Y'ap lonje dwèt sou ou, y'ap pase lavil Jerizalèm nan rizib. Y'ap ri, y'ap di: -Men lavil yo t'ap di pa gen pi bèl pase l' la wi! Se lavil sa a wi ki te fè kè tout moun bat pou li a!
SAMECH. All those who passed by the way have clapped their hands over you. They have hissed and shook their heads over the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city of perfect dignity, the joy of all the earth?”
16 Tout lènmi ou yo ap pale ou mal byen fò. Y'ap rele chalbari dèyè ou. Y'ap lonje bouch yo sou ou. Y'ap di: -Nou fini avè l'! Men jou nou t'ap tann lan! Nou jwenn li jòdi a!
PHE. All your enemies have opened their mouth over you. They have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and they said: “We will devour her. Yes, this is the day we waited for. We have found it, we have seen it.”
17 Seyè a fè sa li te di li t'ap fè a. Li kenbe pawòl li te di depi nan tan lontan an. Li kraze san gade dèyè. Li fè lènmi nou yo genyen batay la sou nou. Li fè yo kontan wè jan nou fini.
AIN. The Lord has done what he decided to do. He has fulfilled his word, which he instructed since the days of antiquity. He has destroyed, and he has not been lenient, and he has caused the enemy to rejoice over you, and he has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 Jerizalèm, ou mèt kite miray ou yo rele nan pye Seyè a. Kite dlo koule nan je ou tankou larivyè, lajounen kou lannwit! Pa pran kanpo menm! Pa kite dlo nan je ou cheche!
SADE. Their heart cried out to the Lord from the walls of the daughter of Zion. Let tears run down like a torrent throughout the day and the night. Do not give rest to yourself, and do not allow the pupil of your eye to cease.
19 Leve nan mitan lannwit, chak fwa kòk chante, rele nan pye Bondye! Louvri kè ou bay Bondye sèl Mèt la. Mande l' gras mizèrikòd pou ti pitit ou yo, k'ap mouri grangou nan chak kalfou!
COPH. Rise up. Give praise in the night, in the first of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the sight of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him on behalf of the souls of your little ones, who have passed away from famine at the head of all the crossroads.
20 Gade non, Seyè! Manyè wè ki moun w'ap matirize konsa! Manman ap manje pitit ki sot nan vant yo, pitit yo renmen anpil yo. Y'ap touye prèt yo ak pwofèt yo nan kote ki apa pou Bondye sèl Mèt la, nan tanp lan.
RES. O Lord, see and consider those whom you have made into such a vintage. So then, shall women eat their own fruit, little ones measured by the palm of the hand? Shall priest and prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Jenn gason kou granmoun mouri atè nan mitan lari. Jenn tifi yo ak jenn tigason yo mouri nan lagè! Jou ou fè kòlè a, ou touye moun, ou kraze moun san gad dèyè.
SIN. The boy and the old man lie down on the ground outside. My virgins and my youths have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of your fury. You have struck down, and you have not shown pity.
22 Ou fè moun k'ap fè m' pè yo soti toupatou pou yo vin danse, fè fèt sou do m'. Lè Seyè a move, pesonn pa ka chape, tout moun gen pou mouri. Lènmi m' yo touye ata timoun mwen te renmen yo, timoun mwen te elve yo.
THAU. You have called, as if to a day of solemnity, those who would terrify me all around. And there was no one, in the day of the fury of the Lord, who escaped or was left behind. Those whom I educated and nourished, my enemy has consumed.
