Plenn 2
1 Gade kijan Senyè a te kouvri fi a Sion an ak yon nwaj nan kòlè li! Li te jete soti nan syèl la, jis rive atè glwa Israël la. Li pa t menm sonje machpye pa L la, nan jou kòlè Li.
How has the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 Senyè a te vale tout nèt. Li pa t epanye tout abitasyon Jacob yo. Nan gwo chalè Li, Li te jete sitadèl fi a Juda a. Li te bese yo nèt jis rive atè. Li te pwofane wayòm nan ak tout prens li yo.
The LORD has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: he has thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought them down to the ground: he has polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 Nan gwo chalè, Li te koupe tout fòs Israël la. Li te retire men dwat Li soti devan lènmi an. Konsa, Li te brile Jacob tankou flanm dife ki konsome toupatou.
He has cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours round about.
4 Li te koube banza Li kon yon lènmi. Li te poze men dwat li konsi se yon advèsè. Konsa, Li te touye tout ki bèl pou gade. Nan tant a fi a Sion an, Li te vin vide gwo kòlè Li tankou dife.
He has bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
5 Senyè a vin tankou yon lènmi. Li te vale Israël nèt. Li te vale tout palè li yo. Li te detwi sitadèl li yo. Li te miltipliye doulè yo ak plent yo nan fi a Juda yo.
The LORD was as an enemy: he has swallowed up Israel, he has swallowed up all her palaces: he has destroyed his strong holds, and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 Ak vyolans, Li te aji sou tanp Li an, konsi se yon tonèl jaden. Li te detwi kote ke Li menm te deziye pou asanble yo. SENYÈ a te fè bliye tout jou fèt ak Saba Sion yo, e Li te meprize ni wa a, ni prèt la nan gwo kòlè Li a.
And he has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he has destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD has caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
7 Senyè a te rejte lotèl Li a. Li te abandone sanktyè Li a. Li te livre nan men lènmi an, miray a palè li yo. Yo te fè yon bri nan kay SENYÈ a, konsi li ta nan yon jou fèt deziye.
The LORD has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary, he has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 SENYÈ a te pran desizyon pou detwi miray a fi a Sion an. Li te lonje yon lign. Li pa t ralanti men l nan destriksyon. Li te fè ni ranpa, ni miray la plen tristès; y ap kriye ansanm.
The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he has stretched out a line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 Pòtay li yo te fonse antre nan tè, Li te detwi e kraze fè fòje a. Wa li yo ak prens li yo vin gaye pami nasyon yo; lalwa, nanpwen ankò. Anplis, pwofèt li yo pa resevwa vizyon de SENYÈ a.
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
10 Ansyen a fi a Sion yo chita atè. Yo rete an silans. Yo te jete pousyè sou tèt yo. Yo abiye yo ak twal sak. Vyèj Jérusalem yo fin bese tèt yo jis a tè a.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Zye m gate akoz dlo k ap sòti ladann, lespri m vin nan gwo twoub; kè m vin vide atè nèt, akoz fi a pèp mwen an vin detwi e timoun ak tibebe yo ap fennen nan lari vil la.
Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
12 Yo mande manman yo: “Kote sereyal ak diven an?” Konsa, yo fennen tankou yon nonm ki blese nan lari vil yo, pandan lavi yo menm vin vide nan sen manman yo.
They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
13 Kisa pou m ta di ou? A kilès pou m ta konpare ou, O fi Jérusalem nan? A kisa pou m ta di ou sanble pandan mwen ap mennen rekonfò bay ou a, O fi vyèj a Sion an? Paske destriksyon ou an vast tankou lanmè. Se kilès ki ka geri ou?
What thing shall I take to witness for you? what thing shall I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?
14 Pwofèt ou yo te wè pou ou vizyon ki te fo; ki te plen foli. Yo pa t dekouvri inikite ou pou restore ou sòti an kaptivite, men yo te wè pou ou vizyon pòt pawòl ki te fo, ki te egare ou.
Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you: and they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn away your captivity; but have seen for you false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 Tout moun ki pase akote chemen an bat men yo pou moke ou. Yo sifle anlè kon koulèv sou fi Jérusalem nan, epi yo di: “Men èske se vil sa a yo te konn rele ‘pèfeksyon a bèlte a, yon jwa de tout tè a’?”
All that pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and shake their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 Tout lènmi ou yo te louvri bouch yo laj kont ou. Yo sifle anlè kon koulèv. Yo fwote dan yo. Yo di: “Nou te vale l nèt! Anverite, se jou sa ke nou t ap tann nan. Nou gen tan jwenn li. Nou gen tan wè l.”
all of your enemies have opened 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 SENYÈ a te acheve objektif Li; Li te akonpli pawòl Li, pawòl ke Li te kòmande soti nan jou ansyen yo. Li te jete ba, Li pat fè pitye. Li te fè lènmi an rejwi sou ou. Li te egzalte pwisans a advèsè ou yo.
The LORD has done that which he had devised; he has fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he has thrown down, and has not pitied: and he has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, he has set up the horn of your adversaries.
18 Kè yo te kriye fò a Senyè a. O miray a fi Sion an, kite dlo sòti nan zye ou lajounen kon lannwit. Pa aksepte okenn soulajman; 'Pa kite zye ou pran repo.
Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give yourself no rest; let not the apple of your eye cease.
19 Leve, kriye fò nan nwit lan, nan kòmansman vèy nwit lan! Vide kè ou konsi se dlo devan prezans Senyè a. Leve men ou a Li menm pou lavi pitit ou yo ki fèb nèt ak grangou sou tèt a tout ri yo.
Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
20 Gade pou wè, O SENYÈ! Avèk kilès ou te aji konsa? Èske fanm ta dwe manje pwòp pitit pa yo, pitit yo ki te fèt an bòn sante? Èske prèt la ak pwofèt la dwe vin touye nan sanktyè Senyè a?
Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom you have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Sou tè nan lari yo, kouche jenn yo ak granmoun yo. Vyèj mwen yo ak jennonm mwen yo te tonbe sou nepe. Ou te touye yo nan jou gwo kòlè Ou a; Ou te fè masak, san pitye.
The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; you have slain them in the day of your anger; you have killed, and not pitied.
22 Ou te rele nou konsi se nan jou a yon fèt etabli, gwo laperèz mwen yo tout kote. Nanpwen moun ki te chape sòti vivan nan jou kòlè SENYÈ a. Sila ke m te fè e leve yo, lènmi m te anile yo nèt.
You have called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up has mine enemy consumed.
