Okukungubaga 2
1 Obusungu bwa Mukama nga bubuubuukidde ku Muwala wa Sayuuni ne bumussa wansi w’ekire! Ekitiibwa kya Isirayiri, Mukama akissizza wansi okuva mu ggulu okutuuka ku nsi; ne yeerabira entebe ey’ebigere bye ku lunaku lwe yasunguwalirako.
How hath the Lord in his anger covered with a cloud the daughter of Zion! He hath cast down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, And hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 Mukama azikirizza abatuula mu Yakobo bonna awatali kubasaasira; mu busungu bwe amenye ebigo eby’amaanyi eby’omuwala wa Yuda; assizza wansi obwakabaka bwe n’abakungu be n’abamalamu ekitiibwa.
Lord hath swallowed up without pity all the habitations of Jacob; He hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He hath brought down to the ground, he hath profaned the kingdom and its princes.
3 Mu busungu obungi amaanyi gonna aga Isirayiri agakendeezezza; bw’alabye omulabe ng’asembera, n’aggyawo omukono gwe ogwa ddyo; anyiigidde Yakobo okufaanana ng’omuliro bwe gubumbujja ne gwokya buli ekiguliraanye.
He hath cut off, in his fierce anger, every horn of Israel; He hath drawn back his right hand from the face of the enemy, And hath burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 Anaanudde omutego gwe okufaanana nga ogw’omulabe, era omukono gwe ogwa ddyo mweteefuteefu. Azikirizza ebyo byonna ebisanyusa amaaso mu weema ey’omuwala wa Sayuuni, okufaanana ng’omulabe bwe yandikoze; obusungu bwe bubuubuuka ng’omuliro.
He bent his bow like an enemy; He stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that was pleasant to the eye; Upon the tent of the daughter of Zion he poured out his fury like fire.
5 Mukama afuuse ng’omulabe; azikirizza Isirayiri, n’azikiriza embiri ze, n’azikiriza n’ebifo bye eby’amaanyi. Aleetedde muwala wa Yuda okweyongera okukaaba n’okukungubaga.
The Lord is become as an enemy; he hath swallowed up Israel; He hath swallowed up all his palaces; he hath destroyed his strongholds; And hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 Asaanyizzaawo eweema ye n’efaanana ng’ennimiro, era azikirizza n’ekifo kye eky’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Mukama yeerabizza Sayuuni embaga ze entukuvu ne ssabbiiti, era mu busungu bwe obungi anyoomye kabaka ne kabona.
He hath violently torn away his hedge, like the hedge of a garden; he hath destroyed his place of congregation; Jehovah hath caused the solemn feast and the sabbath to be forgotten in Zion; He hath despised, in his fierce anger, the king and the priest.
7 Mukama atamiddwa ekyoto kye, n’alekulira n’ekifo kye ekitukuvu. Awaddeyo bbugwe w’embiri ze eri omulabe; era baleekaanidde mu nnyumba ya Mukama, ne baleetamu oluyoogaano nga ku lunaku olw’embaga entukuvu.
The Lord hath cast off his altar; he hath abhorred his holy place; He hath given up into the hands of the enemy the walls of Zion's palaces; They have lifted up the voice in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 Mukama yamalirira okumenya bbugwe eyeetoolodde muwala wa Sayuuni, n’agolola omuguwa ogupima, Omukono gwe ne guteewala kuzikiriza. Yaleetera enkomera ne bbugwe okukungubaga, byonna ne biggweerera.
Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He hath made the rampart and the wall to lament; They languish together.
9 Emiryango gye gisse mu ttaka, n’emitayimbwa gyagyo agimenye n’agyonoona. Kabaka we n’abakungu be baawaŋŋangusizibwa, eteri mateeka gaabwe agabafuga, era ne bannabbi be tebakyafuna kwolesebwa kuva eri Mukama.
Her gates are sunk into the earth; he hath destroyed and broken her bars; Her king and her princes are among the nations; The law is no more; Her prophets also find no vision from Jehovah.
10 Abakadde b’Omuwala wa Sayuuni batuula wansi ku ttaka nga basiriikiridde; bayiye enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe era beesibye ebibukutu; n’abawala ba Yerusaalemi bakotese emitwe gyabwe.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground in silence; They have cast dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth; The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Amaaso gange gakooye olw’okukaaba n’emmeeme yange enyiikadde n’omutima gwange gulumwa olw’okuzikirizibwa kw’abantu bange, n’olw’abaana abato n’abaana abawere okuzirikira wakati mu nguudo ez’omu kibuga.
Mine eyes do fail with tears; my bowels boil; My liver is poured out upon the ground on account of the destruction of the daughter of my people; For the children and sucklings faint in the streets of the city.
12 Bakaabirira bannyaabwe nga bwe boogera nti, “Omugaati n’envinnyo biri ludda wa?” nga bwe bazirika okufaanana ng’abaliko ebiwundu mu nguudo ez’ekibuga, nga bwe bakaabira mu bifuba bya bannyaabwe.
They say to their mothers, “Where is corn and wine?” While they faint, as one wounded, in the streets of the city; While their life is poured out into their mother's bosom.
13 Nnyinza kugamba ki, era kiki kye nnyinza okukugeraageranyaako ggwe Omuwala wa Yerusaalemi? Kiki kye nnyinza okukufaananya, okukusanyusa ggwe Omuwala Embeerera owa Sayuuni? Ekiwundu kyo kinene nnyo, kale ani ayinza okukiwonya?
How shall I address thee? what shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? With what shall I compare thee, so as to comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? Surely thy breach is wide, like the sea; who can heal thee?
14 Okwolesebwa bannabbi bo kwe baafuna, kwali kwa bulimba era kwa butaliimu; tebaakutegeeza obutali butuukirivu bwo okukuwonya obusibe. Engero ze baabanyumizanga zaali za bulimba era eziwabya.
Thy prophets declare to thee that which is vain and false; They lay not open to thee thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity; They pronounce to thee prophecies of falsehood and seduction.
15 Bonna abayitawo babakubira mu ngalo ne bafuuwa empa ne banyeenyeza omuwala wa Yerusaalemi emitwe gyabwe nga boogera nti, “Kino kye kibuga ekyayitibwanga ekituukiridde, era essanyu ly’ensi zonna?”
All that that pass by clap their hands at thee; They hiss, and shake their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem. “Is this the city that men called the perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?”
16 Abalabe bo bonna baasaamiridde nga beewuunya; nga bafuuwa empa, era baluma amannyo nga boogera nti, “Tumuzikirizza. Luno lwe lunaku lwe twalindirira, kaakano lutuukiridde, era tululabye.”
All thine enemies open their mouths against thee; They hiss and gnash the teeth; They say: “We have swallowed her up; Yea, this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.”
17 Mukama akoze kye yateekateeka, era atuukirizza ekigambo kye kye yalagira mu nnaku ez’edda. Akuzikirizza awatali kukusaasira, aleetedde omulabe wo okukusekerera, n’amaanyi g’abalabe bo agagulumizza.
Jehovah hath accomplished that which he had devised; He hath fulfilled his word, which he had commanded in the days of old; He hath thrown down and hath not pitied; He hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee; he hath exalted the horn of thine adversaries.
18 Kaabirira Mukama n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni. Leka amaziga go gakulukute ng’omugga emisana n’ekiro. Teweewummuza so toganya maaso go kuwummula.
Their heart crieth out to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let thy tears run down like a river day and night! Give thyself no rest! let not the apple of thine eye cease!
19 Golokoka, okaabe ekiro obudde nga bwa kaziba; Fuka emmeeme yo ng’amazzi mu maaso ga Mukama. Yimusa emikono gyo gy’ali, olw’obulamu bw’abaana bo abato abazirise olw’enjala mu buli luguudo.
Arise, cry aloud in the night at the beginning of the watches! Pour out thy heart like water before the face of Jehovah! Lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy young children, That faint for hunger at the head of all the streets!
20 “Tunula, Ayi Mukama Katonda osaasire! Ani gwe wali obonerezza bw’otyo? Ddala, abakyala balye ebibala by’embuto zaabwe, abaana be bakuzizza? Ddala, bakabona ne bannabbi battibwe mu watukuvu wa Mukama?
“Behold, O Jehovah, and consider! With whom hast thou dealt thus? Shall women eat the fruit of the womb, children borne in the arms? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the holy place of the Lord?
21 “Abato n’abakulu bonna bafiiridde wamu mu nfuufu ey’enguudo; abavubuka bange ne bawala bange battiddwa n’ekitala; obattidde ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwo, era obasse awatali kusaasira.
“The boy and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; Thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; Thou hast killed, and hast shown no mercy.
22 “Nga bw’oyita abantu ku lunaku olw’embaga, bw’otyo bw’ompitidde ebikemo ku njuyi zonna; era ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwa Mukama, tewali n’omu eyasimattuka newaakubadde eyasigalawo; abo be nalabirira ne nkuza, omulabe wange be yazikiriza.”
“Thou hast called, as on a festal day, my terrors around me; There was not one, in the day of Jehovah's anger, that escaped or was left; Those whom I have borne in my arms and brought up hath my enemy consumed.”
