1 Hedèy te nakopo’ i Talè an-drahoñe ao t’i Tsione amy haviñera’ey! Naretsa’e boak’ an-dikerañey pak’ an-tane eo ty hatsomerentsere’ Israele, vaho nandikofa’e ty fatimpaha’e amy androm-pifomboa’ey.
Yahweh was extremely angry [with us]; as a result, [it was as though] [MET] he covered Jerusalem with a dark cloud. Previously it was a beautiful/glorious city, but he has caused it to become a ruins. At the time he punished [MET] Israel, he [even] abandoned his temple [MET] [in Jerusalem].
2 Fa nagedra’ i Talè tsy aman-tsehanga’e o kiboho’ Iakobeo, vaho tsy niferenaiña’e; fa nafetsa’e ambane eo o kijoly fatrats’ i anak’ ampela’ Iehodàio; ie nafotsa’e an-tane; tiniva’e i fifeheañey naho o roandria’eo.
Yahweh destroyed the homes of [the people of] [PRS] Judah; he did not act mercifully. Because he was very angry, he broke down the fortresses of Judah. He has caused our kingdom and our rulers to become disgraced, and he has gotten rid of them.
3 Fa naitoa’e an-kaviñerañe mena ty tsifa’ Israele; nasita’e aolo’ i rafelahiy ty fità’e havana; vaho finorototo’e hoe afo misolebatse t’Iakobe, afo mangotomomoke mb’eo mb’eo.
Because he was extremely angry, he has caused Israel to not be powerful [MET] any more. He has refused to assist us when our enemies attacked us. He has destroyed Israel like [SIM] a raging fire destroys everything.
4 Nabitso’e hoe rafelahy ty fale’e, najado’e hoe ravetro ty fità’e, vaho zinama’e iaby ze nisoa am-pihaino; an-kivoho’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ty nampidoandoaña’e ty haviñera’e hoe afo.
He bent his bow [to prepare to shoot us, his people], as though we were his enemies. He [prepared to] kill the people whom we love the most [MET], members of our own families. He is extremely angry [MTY] with us people of Jerusalem; his anger is like [SIM] a fire.
5 Fa ninjare rafelahy t’i Talè henanekeo, fa nigenohe’e t’Israele; hene nabea’e o sokemitraha’eo, rinotsa’e o fipalirañe fatratseo; vaho nampitomboe’e amy anak’ampela’ Iehodày ty fangololoihañe naho fandalàñe.
Yahweh has become like an enemy to [us] Israelis; he has destroyed our palaces and caused our fortresses to become ruins. He has gotten rid of many people in Jerusalem, and caused us to mourn and weep [for those who were killed].
6 Hinatsakatsa’e i kivoho’ey hoe t’ie nigoloboñe; nampiantoe’e i toem-pivori’e namotoañañey; nampahaliñoe’ Iehovà e Tsione ao o Famantañañeo naho o Sabatao, vaho ninjè’e ami’ty fitorifiha’ i fifomboa’ey i mpanjakay naho o mpisoroñeo.
He has caused his temple to be smashed [as easily] as [SIM] if it was a shelter in a garden. He has caused [us, his people], to forget all our sacred festivals and Sabbath days. He has caused [our] kings and priests to be rejected because he was extremely angry with them.
7 Navokovoko’ i Talè i kitreli’ey, nampangorìñe Aze i toe’e niavakey; napo’e am-pitan-drafelahy o rindrin’ anjombao: ie nikorake añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao, manahake te añ’androm-pivory miavake.
Yahweh has rejected his own altar and abandoned his temple. He has allowed [our] enemies to tear down the walls of [our temple and] our palaces. They shout [victoriously] in the temple of Yahweh, like we [previously shouted] during our sacred festivals.
8 Sinafiri’ Iehovà ty handrotsake ty kijoli’ i anak’ ampela’ i Tsioney; fa kinazazà’e ty taly, tsy nampoli’e ty fità’e tsy handrotsake; nampirovete’e iaby ty fahañe naho ty rindriñe; mitrao-pinìke iereo.
Yahweh was determined to cause the walls of our city [MTY] to be torn down. [It was as though] he measured the walls and [then he completely] destroyed [MTY] them. [It was as though] he caused the towers and walls to lament/weep, [because they were now ruins].
9 Nalentek’ an-tane ao o lalam-bei’eo; fa rinotsa’e vaho pinoza’e o sikada’eo; songa an-tane tsy mitan-Kàke i mpanjaka’ey naho o roandria’eo; eka tsy manjo aroñaroñe boak’ am’ Iehovà o mpitoki’eo.
The city gates have collapsed; the bars that fastened the gates shut have been smashed. The king and his officials have [been forced to] go to other countries. No longer does anyone teach the people the laws [that God gave to Moses]. The prophets do not receive any visions [because] Yahweh does not give them any.
10 Mitozòke an-tane eo ty androanavi’ i Tsione, mijomohoñe, nampibobò deboke añ’ambone’eo; midian-gony am-baniañe; miondre-doha’ mb’an-tane o somondrara mieha’ i Tsioneo.
The old men of Jerusalem [MTY] sit on the ground, and they say nothing. They wear rough sackcloth and throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad]. The young girls of Jerusalem bow down [sorrowfully], their faces touching the ground.
11 Milesa o masokoo ty amo ranomasoo, mioremeñe ty troko; fa nadoañe an-tane ty ateko, ty amy fandrotsahañe i anak’ampela’ ondatikoy, ty amo anak’ajajao naho o mpinono mitoirañe an-dalan-drovao;
My eyes are very tired because of my tears; I am very grieved in my soul. Because [very many of] my people have been killed, I grieve and am exhausted. [Even] children and babies are fainting [and dying] in the streets [because they have no food].
12 Hoe iereo aman-drene, aia ty tsako naho ty divay? ie tsipike hoe mate an-dala’ i rovay ey ie midoañe añ’arañan-drene’e ao ty fiai’ iareo.
They cry out to their mothers, “We need [RHQ] something to eat and drink!” They faint like wounded men in the streets of the city. They slowly die in the arms of their mothers.
13 Akore ty havereko azo? Añoharako ami’ty inon-drehe ry anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaime? Ino ty hañirinkiriñako ama’o hañohòako azo, ry anak’ampela’ i Tsione? Fa mienene manahake i riakey ty fere’o, ia ty hahamelañe azo?
You people of Jerusalem [MTY, DOU], (what can I/there is nothing that I can) say [to help you]. No people have [RHQ] suffered like you are suffering; I do not know what I can do to comfort you. The disaster [MET] that you have experienced is as great as the ocean is deep; there is no one [RHQ] who can restore your [city].
14 Nahaisak’ aroñarom-bande naho hagegeañe ho azo o mpitoki’oo; vaho tsy nabora’ iareo o tahi’oo, hampipoliañe azo boak’an-drohy ao, fa fetsen-dremborake ty niisa’ iareo, toe talim-pandroahañe.
The prophets among you claimed that they had seen visions [from Yahweh], but what they said was false and worthless. They did not save you from being (exiled/forced to go to other countries), because they did not proclaim that you had sinned. Instead, the messages that they gave you deceived you [because] they were not true.
15 Songa miteha-pitañe ama’o ze miary eo; sindre mikosake naho mikofikofi-doha amy anak’ampela’ Ierosalaimey manao ty hoe: Itoy hao i rova nitokaveñe ty hoe: Fahafoniran-Kasoa Vintañe, ty firebeha’ ty tane-bey toiy?
All those who pass by you make fun of [IDM] you; they shake their heads and they hiss/sneer at you. [They say], “Is this that great city of Jerusalem? Is it the city that was the most beautiful city in the world, the city that caused all [the people on] the earth to be joyful?”
16 Nampidañadaña falie ama’o o fonga malaiñe azoo; mikosasàke naho mikodrìtse nife manao ty hoe: Fa nabean-tika; itoy ‘nio i andro nitaman-tikañey, fa tendreke, le isake.
[Now] all our enemies scoff [IDM] at you; they hiss/sneer [at you] and gnash their teeth [to show that they hate you]. They say, “We have destroyed them! This is what we longed/waited for, and now it has happened!”
17 Fa nanoe’ Iehovà i naereñere’ey; fa nihenefa’e i fetse najado’e añ’andro taoloy; fa naretsa’e ambane eo le tsy niferenaiña’e; vaho nampirebehe’e ama’o o rafelahi’oo; naonjo’e ty tsifa’ o malaiñ’azoo.
Yahweh has done what he planned; long ago he threatened to destroy you, and [now] he has done it. He has destroyed [your city] without acting mercifully [toward you]; he has enabled your enemies to he happy about defeating you; he has enabled your enemies to [continually] become stronger.
18 Mitoreo añ’arofo amy Talè iereo: O ry kijoli’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney, ampikararaho ranomaso hoe sorotombake handro an-kaleñe; ko ampahazoe’o fiaiñe ty fañova’o; ko ampitofa’o o fihaino’oo.
I wish/desire that the walls of Jerusalem [APO] would cry out to Yahweh! You people of Jerusalem [MET], Cry day and night! Let your tears flow like rivers. Do not stop grieving; do not stop crying.
19 Miongaha, mikoeaha te haleñe, ami’ty fiorota’ o fijilovañeo; adoaño ty arofo’o hoe rano añatrefan-dahara’ i Talè; añonjono fitañe ama’e ho ami’ty fiai’ o keleia’o mitoirañe ami’ty kerè an-doha o lalañeo iabio.
Get up [every] night and cry out; tell Yahweh what you are feeling. Raise your arms to plead to him to act mercifully to prevent our children from dying; they are fainting on the street corners because they have no food to eat.
20 Hehe ry Iehovà biribirio: ia o nanoa’o o raha zaoo? Habotse’ o rakembao hao o tolin-tsabo’eo? o ajaja otroñe’e am-pitàñeo? Ho zamaneñe an-toe’ i Talè miavak’ ao hao ty mpisoroñe naho ty mpitoky?
Yahweh, look, and think [about it]! Have you ever [RHQ] caused people to suffer like this before? [It is certainly not right that] [RHQ] women are eating the flesh of their own children, the children whom they have always taken care of! [It is not right that] [RHQ] priests and prophets are being killed in your own temple!
21 Ty tora’e naho ty androanavi-bey, songa màndre an-tane an-dalañe eo; o somondrarakoo naho o ajalahikoo, fonga zinevo’ i fibaray; binaibai’o amy andron-kaviñera’oy zinama’o fa tsy niferenaiña’o.
[The corpses of] people of all ages lie in the streets; [there are even corpses of] young men and young women who have been killed by [our enemies’] swords. Because you were very angry, you caused them to be killed; you have slaughtered them without pitying them [at all].
22 Kinoi’o hoe añ’androm- pivory miavake, o hekoheko miariseho ahikoo; vaho leo raike tsy nahabotatsake, tsy nanisañe amy andron-kaviñera’ Iehovày; o notroñekoo naho nibeizekoo ro fonga nabea’ i rafelahiy.
You summoned our enemies to attack us from every direction, as though you were calling/inviting them to come to a feast. At that time when [you showed that] you were very angry, no one escaped. Our enemies murdered [our little children, ] ones whom we took care of and reared/brought up.
