Fitomaniana 1
1 Indrisy, mitoetra manirery izao ilay tanàna feno olona! Efa tonga toy ny mpitondratena izy! Ilay nalaza tamin’ ny firenena sy andriambavy tamin’ ny tany samy hafa dia efa miankin-doha kosa izao!
Oh how doth she sit solitary—the city that was full of people is become like a widow! she that was so great among the nations, the princess among the provinces, is become tributary!
2 Mitomany dia mitomany izy nony alina, ary ny ranomasony dia eny an-takolany; Izay rehetra tia azy dia tsy misy mampionona azy; Ny sakaizany rehetra efa nivadika taminy ka tonga fahavalony.
She weepeth sorely in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; she hath none to comfort her among all her lovers; all her friends have dealt treacherously toward her, they are become her enemies.
3 Lasan-ko babo ny Joda noho ny fahoriana sy ny haben’ ny fanompoana; Mipetraka ao amin’ ny jentilisa izy, nefa tsy mahita fitsaharana; Izay rehetra nanenjika azy dia nahatratra azy teo an-ketena.
Exiled is Judah because of affliction, and because of the greatness of servitude she dwelleth indeed among the nations, she findeth no rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between the narrow passes.
4 Ireo lalana mankany Ziona dia mitomany, satria tsy misy miakatra ho amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana; Lao ny vavahadiny rehetra, misento ny mpisorony; Ory ny virijinany, ary Ziona dia efa azon’ ny fahoriana mangidy.
The ways to Zion are in mourning, because none come to the solemn feasts; all her gates are desolate; her priests sigh; her virgins moan, and she suffereth herself from bitter grief.
5 Ny rafiny no mpanapaka, ny fahavalony no miadana, Satria Jehovah no efa nampahory azy noho ny hamaroan’ ny fahotany; Ny zanany madinika dia lasan-ko babo eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony,
Her adversaries are become chiefs, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath caused her to grieve because of the multitude of her transgressions: her babes are gone into captivity before the adversary.
6 Ary ny voninahitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy rehetra dia efa tsy ananany intsony; Ny mpanapaka azy dia toy ny diera tsy mahita ahitra, Ary mandeha reraka eo anoloan’ ny mpanenjika azy izy.
And there is gone forth from the daughter of Zion all her splendor: her princes are become like harts that have found no pasture, and they flee without strength before the pursuer.
7 Tsaroan’ i Jerosalema amin’ ny andro fahoriany sy fanjenjenany ny zava-tsoa rehetra izay nananany hatry ny ela; Fa nony naripaky ny fahavalo ny olony, ka tsy nisy namonjy azy, dia nahita azy ny fahavalo ka nihomehy ny faharavany.
Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her magnificent things which have been in the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, with none to help her, the adversaries looked at her, they laughed at the cessation [of her glory].
8 Efa nanota dia nanota Jerosalema, ka izany no nahatonga azy ho fahavetavetana; izay rehetra nanaja azy dia mamingavinga azy, satria efa nahita ny fitanjahany ireny; Eny, na ny tenany aza dia miferinaina sady miamboho.
A grievous sin did Jerusalem commit, therefore is she become a wanderer: all that honored her hold her in contempt, because they have seen her nakedness; she also sigheth, and turneth [ashamed] backward.
9 Ny lotony dia teo amin’ ny moron-tongotr’ akanjony, tsy nitsapa farany izy; Dia mahagaga ny fietreny, tsy misy mampionona azy. Jehovah ô, jereo ny fahoriako, fa mirehareha ny fahavalo.
[With] her uncleanness on her skirts, she thought not of her latter end: therefore is she come down wonderfully, without one to comfort her. Behold, O Lord, my affliction; for the enemy hath become great [above me].
10 Ny fahavalo naninjitra ny tànany naka ny zava-tsoany rehetra; Fa ny jentilisa, izay noraranao tsy hiditra amin’ ny fiangonanao, dia hitany tafiditra ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna.
His hand hath the adversary spread out over all her magnificent things; for she hath seen nations entering into her sanctuary, of whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
11 Misento ny olony rehetra, mitady hanina; Eny, atakalony hanina ny zava-tsoany hamelombelona ny ainy; Jehovah ô, jereo ka diniho, fa vingavingaina aho.
all her people sigh, they are seeking bread; they have given their precious things for food to refresh their soul: see, O Lord, and look, how I have been brought low.
12 Moa tsy mampaninona anareo va, ry mpandalo rehetra? Jereo sy izahao raha mba misy fahoriana toy ny fahoriako, izay namelezany ahy, dia ilay nampahorian’ i Jehovah ahy tamin’ ny andro firehetan’ ny fahatezerany.
“I adjure you, all that pass this way, behold, and see if there be any pain like unto my pain, which hath been inflicted on me, wherewith the Lord hath aggrieved me on the day of his fierce anger.
13 Avy tany amin’ ny avo no nandatsahany afo ho amin’ ny taolako handoroany azy; Namela-pandrika harato haningorana ny tongotro Izy ka nampihemotra ahy; Nampahalao sy nampahareraka ahy mandritra ny andro Izy.
From on high hath he sent a fire into my bones, and breaketh [them] one by one: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath caused me to return backward; he hath made me desolate, sick all the day.
14 Ny ziogan’ ny fahotako nofehezin’ ny tànany; Voaolana ireny ka tonga eo an-katoko; noketrahiny ny heriko; Natolotry ny Tompo ho eo an-tànan izay tsy leoko aho.
Bound fast is the yoke of my transgressions by his hand, — they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to stumble: the Lord hath given me up into the hands of [those against whom] I am not able to rise up.
15 Nataon’ ny Tompo tsinontsinona ny maheriko rehetra; Nanendry fotoana hamelezana ahy Izy, handringanana ny zatovoko; Ny Tompo nanosihosy an’ i Joda zanakavavy virijina toy ny eo amin’ ny famiazam-boaloboka.
The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me; he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: a winepress hath the Lord trodden over the virgin, the daughter of Judah.
16 Izany zavatra izany no mampitomany ahy; e! ny masoko, ny masoko mamarin-dranomaso, fa lavitra ahy ny mpampionona izay tokony hamelombelona ny fanahiko; Ringana ny zanako, fa mahery ny fahavalo.
For these things do I weep; my eye, my eye runneth down with water; because far from me is the comforter that should refresh my soul: my children are in misery, because the enemy hath prevailed.”
17 Ziona mananty tanana, nefa tsy misy mampionona azy; Jehovah nandidy ny amin’ i Jakoba mba ho tonga fahavalony ny manodidina azy; Jerosalema dia tonga fahavetavetana eo afovoan’ ireo.
Zion spreadeth forth her hands, without one to comfort her; the Lord hath given a charge concerning Jacob to all his adversaries round about him: Jerusalem is become as an unclean woman among them.
18 Marina Jehovah, fa efa nandà ny teniny aho; Ry firenena rehetra, masìna ianareo, mba jereo ny fahoriako; Lasan-ko babo ny virijinako sy ny zatovoko.
“Righteous is the Lord; for against his orders have I rebelled: oh do hear, all ye people, and see my pain! my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 Nantsoiko ireo tia ahy, fa nofitahiny aho; Ny mpisoroko sy ny loholoko niala aina tao an-tanana, Tamin’ ny nitadiavany hanina hamelombelona ny ainy.
I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders perished in the city; for they sought food for themselves to refresh their soul.
20 Izahao, Jehovah ô, fa azom-pahoriana aho, mandevilevy ny foko; Miontana ato anatiko ny foko, fa naditra dia naditra aho; Eny ivelany dia ny sabatra no mahafoana anaka, ary ao an-trano dia toa misy fahafatesana kosa.
See, O Lord! how I am in distress; my bowels are heated; my heart is turned round within me; because I have grievously rebelled: abroad bereaveth the sword, at home, like the pestilence.
21 Reny fa misento aho; tsy misy mampionona ahy; Ny fahavaloko rehetra nandre ny fahoriako, ka faly izy, satria Hianao no nanao izany; Hahatonga izay andro nantsoinao Hianao, ka dia ho tonga tahaka ahy koa ireo.
They hear how greatly I sigh, [yet] there is none to comfort me; all my enemies have heard of my misfortune, they are glad that thou hast done it: oh that thou wouldst bring the day which thou hast proclaimed [against me], that they may become like me.
22 Aoka ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny faharatsiany rehetra, ary mba ataovy aminy kosa tahaka izay nataonao tamiko noho ny fahotako rehetra; Fa imbetsaka ny fisentoako, ka reraka ny foko.
Let all their wickedness come before thee, and do unto them as thou hast done unto me because of all my transgressions; for many are my sighs, and my heart is sick.”
