Ratapan 4
1 Ah, sungguh pudar emas itu, emas murni itu berubah; batu-batu suci itu terbuang di pojok tiap jalan.
How! it is dimmed gold it is changed the gold fine they lie scattered stones of holiness at [the] head of all [the] streets.
2 Anak-anak Sion yang berharga, yang setimbang dengan emas tua, sungguh mereka dianggap belanga-belanga tanah buatan tangan tukang periuk.
[the] children of Zion precious who were weighed with pure gold how! they are considered to jars of earthenware [the] work of [the] hands of a potter.
3 Serigalapun memberikan teteknya dan menyusui anak-anaknya, tetapi puteri bangsaku telah menjadi kejam seperti burung unta di padang pasir.
Also (jackals *Q(K)*) they draw out a breast they suckle young their [the] daughter of people my [has become] cruel (like ostriches *Q(K)*) in the wilderness.
4 Lidah bayi melekat pada langit-langit karena haus; kanak-kanak meminta roti, tetapi tak seorangpun yang memberi.
It has cleaved [the] tongue of a suckling-child to (palate its *L(abh)*) by thirst children they have asked for bread [one who] breaks [it] not [belonged] to them.
5 Yang biasa makan yang sedap-sedap mati bulur di jalan-jalan; yang biasa duduk di atas bantal kirmizi terbaring di timbunan sampah.
The [ones] eating delicacies they are desolate in the streets the [ones] brought up on crimson they have embraced ash heaps.
6 Kedurjanaan puteri bangsaku melebihi dosa Sodom, yang sekejap mata dibongkar-bangkir tanpa ada tangan yang memukulnya.
And it has become great [the] iniquity of [the] daughter of people my more than [the] sin of Sodom which was overthrown like a moment and not they twisted on it hands.
7 Pemimpin-pemimpin lebih bersih dari salju dan lebih putih dari susu, tubuh mereka lebih merah dari pada merjan, seperti batu nilam rupa mereka.
They were bright ones of high rank its more than snow they were dazzling more than milk they were red bone more than corals [was] sapphire polishing their.
8 Sekarang rupa mereka lebih hitam dari pada jelaga, mereka tidak dikenal di jalan-jalan, kulit mereka berkerut pada tulang-tulangnya, mengering seperti kayu.
It is dark more than soot appearance their not they are recognized in the streets it has shriveled skin their on bone their dry it has become like wood.
9 Lebih bahagia mereka yang gugur karena pedang dari pada mereka yang tewas karena lapar, yang merana dan mati sebab tak ada hasil ladang.
Good they are [those] slain of a sword more than [those] slain of hunger who they they flow away pierced through from [the] produce of [the] field.
10 Dengan tangan sendiri wanita yang lemah lembut memasak kanak-kanak mereka, untuk makanan mereka tatkala runtuh puteri bangsaku.
[the] hands of Women compassionate they have boiled own children their they have been for eating for them in [the] brokenness of [the] daughter of people my.
11 TUHAN melepaskan segenap amarah-Nya, mencurahkan murka-Nya yang menyala-nyala, dan menyalakan api di Sion, yang memakan dasar-dasarnya.
He has completed Yahweh rage his he has poured out [the] burning of anger his and he has kindled a fire in Zion and it has consumed foundations its.
12 Tidak percaya raja-raja di bumi, pun seluruh penduduk dunia, bahwa lawan dan seteru dapat masuk ke dalam gapura-gapura Yerusalem.
Not they believed [the] kings of [the] earth (all *Q(K)*) [the] inhabitants of [the] world that he will go opponent and enemy in [the] gates of Jerusalem.
13 Hal itu terjadi oleh sebab dosa nabi-nabinya dan kedurjanaan imam-imamnya yang di tengah-tengahnya mencurahkan darah orang yang tidak bersalah.
From [the] sins of prophets its [the] iniquities of priests its who shed in midst its [the] blood of righteous [people].
14 Mereka terhuyung-huyung seperti orang buta di jalan-jalan, cemar oleh darah, sehingga orang tak dapat menyentuh pakaian mereka.
They wandered blind [people] in the streets they were defiled by the blood in not people were able people touched clothes their.
15 "Singkir! Najis!", kata orang kepada mereka, "Singkir! Singkir! Jangan sentuh!"; lalu mereka lari dan mengembara, maka berkatalah bangsa-bangsa: "Mereka tak boleh tinggal lebih lama di sini."
Depart unclean people called out to them depart depart may not you touch for they fled also they wandered people said among the nations not they will increase to sojourn.
16 TUHAN sendiri mencerai-beraikan mereka, tak mau lagi Ia memandang mereka. Para imam tidak mereka hormati, dan orang-orang tua tidak mereka kasihani.
[the] presence of Yahweh it scattered them not he will repeat to pay attention to them [the] face of priests not they lifted up (and elders *Q(K)*) not they showed favor to.
17 Selalu mata kami merindukan pertolongan, tetapi sia-sia; dari menara penjagaan kami menanti-nantikan suatu bangsa yang tak dapat menolong.
(Yet we *Q(K)*) they failed eyes our to help our futility in watchtower our we watched to a nation [which] not it will save.
18 Mereka mengintai langkah-langkah kami, sehingga kami tak dapat berjalan di lapangan-lapangan kami; akhir hidup kami mendekat, hari-hari kami sudah genap, ya, akhir hidup kami sudah tiba.
They hunted steps our from walking in open places our it drew near end our they were completed days our for it had come end our.
19 Pengejar-pengejar kami lebih cepat dari pada burung rajawali di angkasa mereka memburu kami di atas gunung-gunung, menghadang kami di padang gurun.
Swift they were pursuers our more than [the] eagles of heaven on the mountains they hotly pursued us in the wilderness they lay in wait for us.
20 Orang yang diurapi TUHAN, nafas hidup kami, tertangkap dalam pelubang mereka, dia yang kami sangka: "Dalam naungannya kami akan hidup di antara bangsa-bangsa."
[the] breath of Nostrils our [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh he was captured in pits their whom we had said in shadow his we will live among the nations.
21 Bergembira dan bersukacitalah, hai puteri Edom, engkau yang mendiami tanah Us, juga kepadamu piala akan sampai, engkau akan jadi mabuk lalu menelanjangi dirimu!
Exult and rejoice O daughter of Edom ([who] dwells *Q(K)*) in [the] land of Uz also to you it will pass on a cup you will become drunk and you may strip yourself naked.
22 Telah hapus kesalahanmu, puteri Sion, tak akan lagi TUHAN membawa engkau ke dalam pembuangan, tetapi kesalahanmu, puteri Edom, akan dibalas-Nya, dan dosa-dosamu akan disingkapkan-Nya.
It will finish iniquity your O daughter of Zion not he will increase to take into exile you he will punish iniquity your O daughter of Edom he will make known on sins your.
