Ratapan 2
1 Ah, betapa Tuhan menyelubungi puteri Sion dengan awan dalam murka-Nya! Keagungan Israel dilemparkan-Nya dari langit ke bumi. Tak diingat-Nya akan tumpuan kaki-Nya tatkala Ia murka.
How YHWH covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger. He has cast down from heaven to the earth the splendor of Israel, and hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 Tanpa belas kasihan Tuhan memusnahkan segala ladang Yakub. Ia menghancurkan dalam amarah-Nya benteng-benteng puteri Yehuda. Ia mencampakkan ke bumi dan mencemarkan kerajaan dan pemimpin-pemimpinnya.
YHWH has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground; he has humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.
3 Dalam murka yang menyala-nyala Ia mematahkan segala tanduk Israel, menarik kembali tangan kanan-Nya pada waktu si seteru mendekat, membakar Yakub laksana api yang menyala-nyala, yang menjilat ke sekeliling.
He has cut off in fierce anger all the strength of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the enemy. He has blazed in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
4 Ia membidikkan panah-Nya seperti seorang seteru dengan mengacungkan tangan kanan-Nya seperti seorang lawan; membunuh segala yang menyenangkan mata dalam kemah puteri Sion, memuntahkan geram-Nya seperti api.
He has bent his bow like an enemy; his right hand he has positioned like an adversary. He killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 Tuhan menjadi seperti seorang seteru; Ia menghancurkan Israel, meremukkan segala purinya, mempuingkan benteng-bentengnya, memperbanyak susah dan kesah pada puteri Yehuda.
YHWH has become as an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel; he has swallowed up all her palaces and has destroyed its strongholds. He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 Ia melanda kemah-Nya seperti kebun, menghancurkan tempat pertemuan-Nya. Di Sion TUHAN menjadikan orang lupa akan perayaan dan sabat, dan menolak dalam kegeraman murka-Nya raja dan imam.
He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. YHWH has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.
7 Tuhan membuang mezbah-Nya, meninggalkan tempat kudus-Nya, menyerahkan ke dalam tangan seteru tembok puri-purinya. Teriakan ramai mereka dalam Bait Allah seperti keramaian pada hari perayaan jemaah.
YHWH has rejected his altar, he has disowned his sanctuary, and has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces. They have made a shout in the house of YHWH, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 TUHAN telah memutuskan untuk mempuingkan tembok puteri Sion. Ia mengukur semuanya dengan tali pengukur, Ia tak menahan tangan-Nya untuk menghancurkannya. Ia menjadikan berkabung tembok luar dan tembok dalam, mereka merana semua.
YHWH has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
9 Terbenam gapura-gapuranya di dalam tanah; TUHAN menghancurkan dan meluluhkan palang-palang pintunya. Rajanya dan pemimpin-pemimpinnya berada di antara bangsa-bangsa asing. Tak ada petunjuk dari TUHAN, bahkan nabi-nabi tidak menerima lagi wahyu dari pada-Nya.
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from YHWH.
10 Duduklah tertegun di tanah para tua-tua puteri Sion; mereka menabur abu di atas kepala, dan mengenakan kain kabung. Dara-dara Yerusalem menundukkan kepalanya ke tanah.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have cast up dust on their heads; they have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Mataku kusam dengan air mata, remuk redam hatiku; hancur habis hatiku karena keruntuhan puteri bangsaku, sebab jatuh pingsan kanak-kanak dan bayi di lapangan-lapangan kota.
My eyes are worn out from weeping, my stomach is churning. My heart is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 Kepada ibunya mereka bertanya: "Mana roti dan anggur?", sedang mereka jatuh pingsan seperti orang yang gugur di lapangan-lapangan kota, ketika menghembuskan nafas di pangkuan ibunya.
They tell their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" When they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in their mothers' bosom.
13 Apa yang dapat kunyatakan kepadamu, dengan apa aku dapat menyamakan engkau, ya puteri Yerusalem? Dengan apa aku dapat membandingkan engkau untuk dihibur, ya dara, puteri Sion? Karena luas bagaikan laut reruntuhanmu; siapa yang akan memulihkan engkau?
What shall I testify of you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is great like the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Nabi-nabimu melihat bagimu penglihatan yang dusta dan hampa. Mereka tidak menyatakan kesalahanmu, guna memulihkan engkau kembali. Mereka mengeluarkan bagimu ramalan-ramalan yang dusta dan menyesatkan.
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false and misleading oracles.
15 Sekalian orang yang lewat bertepuk tangan karena engkau. Mereka bersuit-suit dan menggelengkan kepalanya mengenai puteri Yerusalem: "Inikah kota yang disebut orang kota yang paling indah, kesukaan dunia semesta?"
All that pass by clap their hands at you, they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, "Is this the city that men called 'The perfection of beauty,' 'The joy of the whole earth'?"
16 Terhadap engkau semua seterumu mengangakan mulutnya. Mereka bersuit-suit dan menggertakkan gigi: "Kami telah memusnahkannya!", kata mereka, "Nah, inilah harinya yang kami nanti-nantikan, kami mengalaminya, kami melihatnya!"
All your enemies have opened wide 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 TUHAN telah menjalankan yang dirancangkan-Nya, Ia melaksanakan yang difirmankan-Nya, yang diperintahkan-Nya dahulu kala; Ia merusak tanpa belas kasihan, Ia menjadikan si seteru senang atas kamu, Ia meninggikan tanduk lawan-lawanmu.
YHWH has done that which he purposed, he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to gloat over you and exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 Berteriaklah kepada Tuhan dengan nyaring, hai, puteri Sion, cucurkanlah air mata bagaikan sungai siang dan malam; janganlah kauberikan dirimu istirahat, janganlah matamu tenang!
Their heart cried to YHWH. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no respite; do not let your tears cease.
19 Bangunlah, mengeranglah pada malam hari, pada permulaan giliran jaga malam; curahkanlah isi hatimu bagaikan air di hadapan Tuhan, angkatlah tanganmu kepada-Nya demi hidup anak-anakmu, yang jatuh pingsan karena lapar di ujung-ujung jalan!
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of YHWH. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 Lihatlah, TUHAN, dan tiliklah, kepada siapakah Engkau telah berbuat ini? Apakah perempuan harus makan anak kandungnya, anak-anak yang masih dibuai? Apakah dalam tempat kudus Tuhan harus dibunuh imam dan nabi?
Look, YHWH, and see to whom you have done like this. Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of YHWH?
21 Terbaring di debu jalan pemuda dan orang tua; dara-daraku dan teruna-terunaku gugur oleh pedang; Engkau membunuh mereka tatkala Engkau murka, tanpa belas kasihan Engkau menyembelih mereka!
The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, without pity.
22 Seolah-olah pada hari perayaan Engkau mengundang semua yang kutakuti dari sekeliling. Tatkala TUHAN murka tak ada seorang yang luput atau selamat. Mereka yang kubuai dan kubesarkan dibinasakan seteruku.
You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was none that escaped or remained in the day of YHWH's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
