Un-unnoy 4
1 Saanen a narimat ti balitok; nagbaliwen ti kapupuroan a balitok. Naibukboken dagiti nasagradoan a batbato iti nagsasabatan dagiti kalsada.
Oh how is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! how are the stones of the sanctuary poured out at the corners of every street.
2 Napateg unay idi dagiti annak ti Sion, napatpateg ngem iti puro a balitok. Ngem itan ket kaiyariganda laengen ti burnay nga inaramid ti agdamdamili.
The precious sons of Zion, valued equal to pure gold, how are they now esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3 Uray dagiti atap nga aso ket iparangda dagiti susoda tapno pasusoenda dagiti ukenda, ngem ti babai nga anak dagiti tattaok ket naranggas a maiyarig iti abestrus iti disierto.
Even wild beasts offer the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4 Dumket ti dila ti agsuso nga ubing iti ngangawna gapu iti pannakawawna, dumawat dagiti ubbing iti tinapay, ngem awan ti maited para kadakuada.
The tongue of the suckling cleaveth to its palate by reason of thirst: babes ask for bread, there is not one to break it for them.
5 Dagiti tattao a sigud a mangmangan iti agkakangina a taraon ket nabaybay-anen a mabisbisinan kadagiti kalsada; dagiti sigud nga agkawkawes iti nalabbaga a pagan-anay ket addan ita iti tuktok dagiti gabsuon dagiti basura.
Those that used to eat dainty food are desolate in the streets: they that were reared up on scarlet now embrace dunghills.
6 Ti nagbasolan ti babai nga anak dagiti tattaok ket dakdakkel ngem iti basol ti Sodoma, a naibelleng iti apagdarikmat uray no awan nangtiliw iti daytoy.
For greater is the iniquity of the daughter of my people than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as it were in a moment, and no human hands were laid on her.
7 Dagiti mangidadaulo kenkuana ket sigud a kasla nasileng a niebe ken kas kapudaw iti gatas. Nalablabbaga ti bagbagida ngem iti napintas a rubi iti baybay; kasla safiro ti sukogda.
Her crowned princes were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more brilliant in body than pearls, more than the sapphire, their countenance:
8 Ita ket pinangisiten ti kasipngetan dagiti langada, ket narigatdan a mabigbig kadagiti kalkalsada, ta dimketen dagiti kudilda kadagiti tultulangda. Nagangon daytoy a kas iti kayo!
Darker than black is now their visage; they are not to be recognized in the streets: their skin is shriveled fast upon their bones; it is dry, it is become like wood.
9 Dagiti napapatay babaen iti kampilan ket am-amang a nasaysayaatda ngem dagiti natay gapu iti bisin; nasaysayaatda nga amang ngem kadagiti nakapsut; nga arigna a naduyok gapu iti bisin iti kinaawan ti apit kadagiti talon.
Happier are those slain by the sword than those slain by hunger; for those poured forth their blood, being pierced through, —[these perished] without the fruits of the field.
10 Inluto dagiti ima dagiti naasi a babbai dagiti mismo nga annakda; dagitoy nga ubbing ket nagbalin a taraonda kabayatan ti pannakarumek ti babai nga anak dagiti tattaok.
The hands of merciful women cooked their own children: they became food unto them in the downfall of the daughter of my people.
11 Pinennek ni Yahweh ti pungtotna. Imbukbokna ti umap-apuy nga ungetna; kasla nangpasged isuna idiay Sion ket inkisap daytoy dagiti pundasionna.
The Lord hath let loose all his fury: he hath poured out the fierceness of his anger: and he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured her foundations.
12 Uray dagiti ari ditoy daga wenno ti siasinoman nga agnanaed iti daytoy a lubong ket saan a mamati nga adda makastrek a kasupiat ken kabusor kadagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem.
The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not believe that an adversary or an enemy could ever enter within the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Ngem inaramidda, gapu kadagiti basbasol dagiti profetana, ken kadagiti nagkurangan dagiti papadina a nangpasayasay iti dara dagiti nalilinteg.
[But it hath happened] because of the sins of her prophets, the iniquities of her priests, that had shed in the midst of her the blood of the righteous.
14 Agalla-alla itan dagidiay a profeta ken papadi a kas kadagiti bulsek kadagiti kalkalsada. Natulawandan babaen iti dayta a dara isu nga awan ti makabael nga uray mangsagid kadagiti kawesda.
They wandered about blindly in the streets, they became defiled with blood; so that men were not able to touch their garments.
15 “Panaw! Dakayo a narugit,” kastoy ti ipukpukkaw dagitoy a propeta ken papadi. “Pumanawkayo! Saandakami a sagsagiden!” Isu a nagalla-allada kadagiti nadumaduma a daga, ngem uray dagiti Hentil ket kunkunada, “Saandan a makapagnaed ditoy a kas ganggannaet.”
Depart, ye unclean, they called out unto them: depart, depart, touch not. So they flee away and also wander about: men say among the nations, They shall no more sojourn there.
16 Inwaras ida ni Yahweh manipud iti imatangna, saanna idan a kakaasian. Awanen ti mangpasangbay nga addaan iti panagraem kadagiti papadi, ken ipakpakitada a saandan a kailalaan dagiti panglakayen.
The anger of the Lord hath divided them; he will no more look at them: the faces of the priests they respected not, and the elders they spared not.
17 Kanayon a mapaay dagiti matami a makasarak iti awan kaaspingna a tulong, numan pay sigagagarda a nangkita iti nasion a saan met a mangisalakan kadakami.
Even now our eyes anxiously wait for our valueless help: in our waiting have we waited for a nation that cannot help.
18 Inan-anupda dagiti tugotmi kadagiti kalsada. Asidegen ti kanibusananmi ken mabilbilangen dagiti al-aldawmi, ta dimtengen ti panungpalanmi.
They hunt our steps, that we cannot walk in our streets: our end is near, our days are full: for our end is come.
19 Naparpartak dagiti mangkamkamat kadakami ngem dagiti agila iti tangatang. Inanupdakami agingga kadagiti banbantay sadakami pinadaanan iti let-ang.
Swifter were our pursuers than the eagles of heaven: upon the mountains did they hotly follow us: in the wilderness did they lie in wait for us.
20 Ti anges iti agongmi, ti dinutokan ni Yahweh - ti arimi, ket napalab-ogan babaen kadagiti abut; ti arimi a nangibagaanmi nga, “Agbiagkami kadagiti nasion iti babaen ti panangsalaknibna.”
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, was caught in their pits, he, of whom we said, Under his shadow shall we live among the nations.
21 Agrag-o ken agragsakka, babai nga anak ti Edom nga agnanaed iti daga ti Us, ta maipasanto kenka ti kopa. Mabartekkanto ken silalamo-lamo.
Be glad and rejoice, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of 'Uz: also unto thee shall the cup pass; thou wilt be drunken, and make thyself naked.
22 Naggibusen ti dusam, babai nga anak ti Sion. Saannakan a paipanaw. Ngem dusaennaka iti nagbasolam, babai nga anak ti Edom. Lukaisannanto pay dagiti basbasolmo.
Brought to an end is thy iniquity, O daughter of Zion; He will no more carry thee away into exile: He visiteth thy iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He layeth open thy sins.
