Fitomaniana 1
1 Akore ty habangìñem-pitoboha’ o rova nilifots’ ondatio! Heheke te hoe ramavoiñe henaneo, ie nijabajaba amo fifeheañeo! Ie nianak’ampelam-panjaka añivo’ o faritseo le fa forekekeñe henane zao.
How desolate sits the city of Jerusalem, once filled with people! She has become like a widow, she who was once great among the nations. The queen of all the world has become a slave-laborer.
2 Mafaitse ty fangoihoia’e te haleñe; ranomaso avao ty am-pifi’eo; ie añivo’ o fonga sakeza’eo ro po-mpañohò; sindre namitak’ate aze o rañe’eo songa rafelahi’e henaneo.
She cries bitterly through the night, tears rolling down her cheeks. Despite all her many lovers, no one comes to comfort her. Betrayed by all her friends, they are now her enemies.
3 Nasese an-kaloviloviañe t’Iehodà, naho ampañondevozañe losotse; amo kilakila ondatio ty imoneña’e henane zao, tsy mahaisake fitofañe; fa nahatratse aze iaby o mpañoridañ’ azeo, añivo’ o halovilovia’eo.
Judah has been dragged off into captivity, suffering miserably under brutal slavery; she lives among the nations but has no place of her own where she can rest. Those chasing her have brought her down and she cannot escape.
4 Hene mandala o lala’ i Tsioneo amy te tsy ama’e ty mamonje o sabadidake namantañañeo; songa vahiny o lalam-bei’eo, miselekaiñ’ avao o mpisoro’eo; mihontoke o somondrara’eo, fa finaha manahin-ka.
Even the roads to Zion are in mourning because no one travels on them to go to the religious festivals. All her gates are empty. Her priests groan in sadness. Her girls are suffering. She herself is in bitter distress.
5 Fa nanoeñe talè’e henaneo o rafelahi’eo, miraorao henane zao o malaiñe azeo, f’ie nampisotrie’ Iehovà ty amo fiolà’e tsifotofotoo; fa nasese mb’an-drohy mb’eo aolo’ o rafelahi’eo o keleia’eo.
Those who hated her now control her; her enemies enjoy life, because the Lord has made her suffer due to all her sins of rebellion. Her children have been taken away as prisoners of the enemy.
6 Fonga napo’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ty volonahe’e; ie hoe bakaralahy, tsy manjo fiandrazañe o roandria’eo; nibotafotse po-kaozarañe aolo’ i mpañoridañey.
All the glory has left the Daughter of Zion. Her leaders are like deer that can't find any grass to eat. They don't even have the strength to run away when the hunter comes after them!
7 Tiahi’ Ierosalaime, ze hene vara’e añ’andro taolo, ie nisotry naho nirererere, ie mijoñe am-pitan-drafelahi’e ao, ie pitsom-pañolotse, vaho nisamba i fihotraha’ey o malaiñ’azeo, nikizake i harotsaha’ey.
As she wanders around in her misery, Jerusalem thinks back to all the wonderful things she once had in the old days. When her enemies conquered her people, she didn't receive any help. Her enemies gloated over her, and laughed at her downfall.
8 Niota faly t’Ierosalaime, aa le ìnjen-dre henaneo; mavoe’ o niasy aze iabio, fa niisa’ iareo ty fimeñara’e; miselekain-dre vaho miamboho.
Jerusalem sinned terribly which is why she is now treated as someone unclean. Everyone who used to honor her now despise her, because they've seen her naked and ashamed. She herself groans as she turns away.
9 An-tsiki’e leny ao ty haleora’e; tsy hinao’e t’ie ho figadoña’e; nahalatsa ty nihotraha’e, ie tsy amam-pañohò. O ry Iehovà, vazohò ty fisotriako, ie ireñeta’ ty rafelahy!
Her uncleanness contaminates her skirts. She didn't think about what would happen. Her fall was a shock, and no one was there to comfort her. “Please, Lord, see how much I'm suffering, because the enemy has won!” she says.
10 Fa natorakitsi’ o mpalaiñe azeo ambone’ o vara’e iabio o fità’eo; niisa’e iaby ty fipoñafa’ o kilakila’ ndatio i toe’e miavakey, o nirarà’o tsy himoake am-pivori’oo.
The invader has stolen all her treasures. She even had to watch as heathen nations went into her sanctuary, people you had forbidden to enter.
11 Songa mitoreo ondati’eo, mitsoeke mofo; natsalo’ iareo mahakama ty vara’ iareo ho famelomam-piaiñe. Vazoho ry Iehovà, mahaoniña ty tsy fanjofahako henaneo.
All her people groan, looking for bread. They have spent what they value the most to buy food so they can stay alive. “Please, Lord, look and see what's happening to me,” she says. “It's as if I'm worthless!
12 Tsy ahoa’ areo hao zao, ry mpiary mb’eo? Paiao naho oniño, he ao ty hontoke manahake o fihontoke nafetsak’ amakoo, ie naretsa’ Iehovà amako amy andron-kaviñera’e miforoforo zao.
Don't you care anything about it, all you people passing by? Take a look and see! Is there any suffering as bad as mine, punished by the Lord when he became angry?
13 Nampihitrifa’e afo boak’ andikerañey, le niteveke lalek’ an-taolako ao; nandafiha’e harato o tombokoo; nampolie’e mb’eo naho nenga’e fiain-drifi’e, vaho mitoirañe lomoñandro iraho.
He sent down fire from heaven that destroyed my bones. He spread out a net to catch my feet, tripping me over. He abandoned me, leaving me sick all day long.
14 Hoe vinahotse an-joka o fiolàkoo, mirohy am-pità’eo, mivandibanditse pak’am-bozoko eo; mampinike ty haozarako; natolo’ i Talè am-pita’ o tsy lefeko ijohañañeo.
He took my rebellious sins and twisted them together into a yoke that he tied to my neck. He took away all my strength, and handed me over defenseless to my enemies.
15 Hene naforintse’ i Talè o lahindefoko añivoo; nitaroñe’e amako ty andro ho demohe’e o ajalahikoo; fa linialia’ i Talè hoe am-pipiritan-divay i anak-ampela mieha’ Iehodày.
The Lord brushed aside all my strong soldiers defending me. He called up an army to attack me, to crush my young men. The Lord has trampled down the virgin Daughter of Judah like grapes in a winepress.
16 Rovetako i raha rezay; midoandoan-drano-maso avao o masokoo; fa lavits’ahy ty mpañohò, ty hampitsekake ty fahavaniako; bangiñe o anakoo, ty amy nandreketa’ i rafelahiy.
This is why I'm weeping, tears flowing from my eyes, because there's is no one here to comfort me, no one to make me feel better. There's nothing left for my children because the enemy has conquered us.”
17 Mañity tañañe t’i Tsione, fa tsy eo ty hañohò aze; fa nandilia’ Iehovà ty am’Iakobe o mpañohok’ azeo ty hifandrafelahy ama’e; ninjare raha maleotse añivo’ iareo ao t’Ierosalaime.
Zion holds out her hands in distress, but there's no one to comfort her. The Lord issued orders against Jacob, and his neighbors became his enemies. Jerusalem is to them something disgusting.
18 To ty a Iehovà, amy te niolàko o entam-palie’eo; mijanjiña arè ry kilakila’ ondatio vaho isao o halovilovikoo; te nisese mb’am-pandrohizamb’eo o somondrarakoo naho o ajalahikoo.
“The Lord has done what's right, because I rebelled against his instructions. Listen, everyone everywhere; look at what I'm suffering. My young women and young men have been taken off into captivity.
19 Kinaiko o sakezakoo fe nifañahie’ iareo; namoe’aiñe an-drova ao o mpisoroko naho o androanavikoo ie nitsoeke mahakama hameloma’e fiaiñe.
I called out for help to my lovers, but they betrayed me. My priests and elders starved to death in the city as they tried to find food to keep themselves alive.
20 Hehe, ry Iehovà t’ie an-koheke; mikoreokoreoke ty troko, mifihiñe amako ao ty foko, amy hafairañe nilosotsey. Mampandala an-dalañe eo ty fibara; hoe fihomahañe ty añ’anjomba ao.
Can't you see, Lord, how upset I am? inside I am in turmoil; my heart is breaking because I've been so rebellious. Outside, the sword kills those I love; inside, it's like I'm living in the house of death.
21 Jinanji’ iereo ty fitoreovako, izaho pitso-pañohò; jinanji’ o rafelahiko iabio o feh’ohakoo; ehake iereo te nanoe’o izay. Ampitsatoho i andro nitseize’oy, le hanahak’ ahy iereo.
People hear me groaning, but no one comes to comfort me. All my enemies have heard about the bad things that have happened to me, and they're delighted that it was you who did it. Please bring about the day of judgment that you promised so they can end up like me.
22 Ampombao aolo’o eo ze fonga fitoloñan-drati’ iareo; le ano am’ iereo o nanoe’o amakoo, ty amo fiolàñe iabio; amy te lako toreo iraho vaho midazidazìtse ty troko.
May you see all the evil things they've done! Treat them the same way as you've treated me as a result of all my rebellious sins, for I'm groaning all the time, and I'm sick at heart.”
