1 Yanzu birnin ya zama babu kowa a ciki, birnin da a dā yake cike da mutane! Yanzu birnin ya zama kamar gwauruwa, wadda a dā babba ce ita a cikin ƙasashe! Ita da take sarauniya a cikin larduna yanzu ta zama baiwa.
Howe doeth the citie remaine solitarie that was full of people? she is as a widowe: she that was great among the nations, and princesse among the prouinces, is made tributarie.
2 Tana yin kuka mai zafi da dare, hawaye na gangara a kan kumatunta. A cikin masoyanta duka babu wanda ya yi mata ta’aziyya. Duk abokanta sun yashe ta; sun zama abokan gābanta.
She weepeth continually in the night, and her teares runne downe by her cheekes: among all her louers, she hath none to comfort her: all her friendes haue delt vnfaithfully with her, and are her enemies.
3 Bayan wahala da baƙin ciki, Yahuda ta tafi bauta. Ta zauna a cikin ƙasashe, ba tă samu wurin hutawa ba. Duk masu fafararta sun same ta sa’ad da take cikin matuƙar ɓacin rai.
Iudah is caried away captiue because of affliction, and because of great seruitude: shee dwelleth among the heathen, and findeth no rest: all her persecuters tooke her in the straites.
4 Hanyoyin zuwa Sihiyona suna makoki, gama ba wanda ya zo bikin da ta shirya. Ba kowa a hanyoyin shiganta. Firistocinta suna gurnani,’yan matana kuma suna wahala, kuma tana cikin shan wahala ƙwarai.
The wayes of Zion lament, because no man commeth to the solemne feastes: all her gates are desolate: her Priests sigh: her virgins are discomfited, and she is in heauinesse.
5 Maƙiyanta sun zama shugabanninta; Abokan gābanta suna da kwanciyar rai. Ubangiji ya kawo mata ɓacin rai domin yawan zunubanta.’Ya’yanta sun tafi bauta, a ƙarƙashin maƙiyanta.
Her aduersaries are the chiefe, and her enemies prosper: for the Lord hath afflicted her, for the multitude of her transgressions, and her children are gone into captiuitie before the enemie.
6 Diyar Sihiyona ba ta da sauran daraja.’Ya’yan sarakunanta sun zama kamar bareyi waɗanda suka rasa wurin kiwo; cikin rashin ƙarfi suka guje wa masu fafararsu.
And from the daughter of Zion all her beautie is departed: her princes are become like harts that finde no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 A cikin kwanakin da take shan wahala take kuma yawo Urushalima ta tuna da dukan dukiyar da take da ita a kwanakin dā can. Sa’ad da mutanenta suka faɗa cikin hannun abokan gābanta, ba wanda ya taimake ta. Maƙiyanta suka dube ta suka yi mata dariya don hallakar da ta auko mata.
Ierusalem remembred the dayes of her affliction, and of her rebellion, and all her pleasant things, that shee had in times past, when her people fell into the hande of the enemie, and none did helpe her: the aduersarie sawe her, and did mocke at her Sabbaths.
8 Urushalima ta yi zunubi ƙwarai saboda haka ta zama marar tsarki. Dukan masu martaba ta sun raina ta, gama sun ga tsiraicinta; ita ma da kanta tana nishi da ƙyar ta kuma juya baya.
Ierusalem hath grieuously sinned, therefore shee is in derision: all that honoured her, despise her, because they haue seene her filthinesse: yea, she sigheth and turneth backeward.
9 Ƙazantarta ta manne wa rigunanta; ba tă kula da nan gaba ba, fāɗuwarta kuwa babban abu ne; babu wanda zai yi mata ta’aziyya. “Duba, ya Ubangiji, ka ga wahalata, gama maƙiyi ya yi nasara.”
Her filthinesse is in her skirts: she remembred not her last ende, therefore she came downe wonderfully: she had no comforter: O Lord, behold mine affliction: for the enemie is proud.
10 Maƙiya ya kwashe dukiyarta duka; ta ga mutanen da ba su san Allah ba sun shiga wuri mai tsarkinta waɗanda ka hana su shiga taron jama’arka.
The enemie hath stretched out his hande vpon al her pleasant things: for she hath seene the heathen enter into her Sanctuarie, whom thou diddest commande, that they shoulde not enter into thy Church.
11 Dukan mutanenta suna nishi da ƙyar suna neman burodi; sun sayar da dukiyarsu don su samu abinci don kada su mutu da yunwa. “Ubangiji, ka duba ka gani, gama an yashe ni.”
All her people sigh and seeke their bread: they haue giuen their pleasant thinges for meate to refresh the soule: see, O Lord, and consider: for I am become vile.
12 “Ko wannan ba wani abu ba ne a wurinku, dukanku masu wucewa? Ku duba ku gani. Ko akwai wata wahala kamar irin wadda nake sha, wadda Ubangiji ya auko mini a cikin zafin fushinsa?
Haue ye no regarde, all yee that passe by this way? behold, and see, if there be any sorowe like vnto my sorowe, which is done vnto mee, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce wrath.
13 “Daga sama ya aiko da wuta, ya aiko ta cikin ƙasusuwana. Ya shimfiɗa raga a ƙafafuna ya juyo da ni. Ya bar ni ni kaɗai, sumamme dukan yini.
From aboue hath hee sent fire into my bones, which preuaile against them: he hath spred a net for my feete, and turned me backe: hee hath made me desolate, and daily in heauinesse.
14 “Ya ɗaura zunubaina a wuyana; aka naɗe su a hannuwansa. Aka rataye su a wuyana Ubangiji ya kwashe ƙarfina. Ya bashe ni ga waɗanda suka fi ni ƙarfi.
The yoke of my transgressions is bounde vpon his hand: they are wrapped, and come vp vpon my necke: hee hath made my strength to fall: the Lord hath deliuered me into their hands, neither am I able to rise vp.
15 “Ubangiji ya ƙi duk mayaƙan da suke tare da ni; ya sa wata runduna ta tayar mini ta kuma tattake samarina. Ubangiji ya tattake budurwa Diyar Yahuda kamar’ya’yan inabi a wurin matsewa.
The Lord hath troden vnder foote all my valiant men in the middes of me: he hath called an assembly against me to destroy my yong men: the Lord hath troden the wine presse vpon the virgine the daughter of Iudah.
16 “Dalilin da ya sa nake kuka ke nan idanuna kuma suna ta zubar da hawaye. Babu wani a kusa da zai yi mini ta’aziyya, ba wanda zai sabunta ruhuna.’Ya’yana sun zama fakirai domin maƙiyina ya yi nasara.”
For these things I weepe: mine eye, euen mine eye casteth out water, because the comforter that should refresh my soule, is farre from me: my children are desolate, because the enemie preuailed.
17 Sihiyona ta miƙa hannunta, amma ba wani da zai yi mata ta’aziyya. Ubangiji ya umarta cewa maƙwabtansa za su zama maƙiyansa; Urushalima ta zama abar ƙyama a cikinsu.
Zion stretcheth out her handes, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath appoynted the enemies of Iaakob rounde about him: Ierusalem is as a menstruous woman in the middes of them.
18 “Ubangiji mai adalci ne, duk da haka na yi tawaye da umarninsa. Ku saurara, jama’a duka; ku dubi wahalar da nake sha. Samarina da’yan matana duka sun tafi bauta.
The Lord is righteous: for I haue rebelled against his commandement: heare, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorowe: my virgins and my yong men are gone into captiuitie.
19 “Na kira abokaina amma sun yashe ni. Firistocina da dattawana sun hallaka a cikin birnin yayinda suke neman abinci don kada su mutu da yunwa.
I called for my louers, but they deceiued me: my Priestes and mine Elders perished in the citie while they sought their meate to refresh their soules.
20 “Duba, Ubangiji, ka ga ƙuncin da nake ciki! Ina shan azaba a raina, ba ni da kwanciyar rai a cikin zuciyata, domin na yi tawaye sosai. A waje takobi na kisa; a ciki kuma akwai mutuwa.
Behold, O Lord, howe I am troubled: my bowels swell: mine heart is turned within me, for I am ful of heauinesse: the sword spoyleth abroad, as death doeth at home.
21 “Mutane suna ji ina nishi da ƙyar, amma ba wanda zai yi mini ta’aziyya. Dukan maƙiyana sun ji wahalar da nake ciki; suna farin ciki da abin da ka yi. Ka kawo ranan nan da ka sanar domin su ma su zama kamar ni.
They haue heard that I mourne, but there is none to comfort mee: all mine enemies haue heard of my trouble, and are glad, that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day, that thou hast pronounced, and they shalbe like vnto me.
22 “Bari ka ga muguntarsu duka; ka yi musu yadda ka yi mini domin dukan zunubansu. Nishina da yawa kuma zuciyata ta gaji.”
Let all their wickednes come before thee: do vnto them, as thou hast done vnto me, for all my transgressions: for my sighes are many, and mine heart is heauy.
