Lamentações de Jeremias 2
1 Como cobriu o Senhor de nuvens na sua ira a filha de Sião? derribou do céu á terra a gloria de Israel, e não se lembrou do escabello de seus pés, no dia da sua ira.
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 Devorou o Senhor todas as moradas de Jacob, e não se apiedou: derribou no seu furor as fortalezas da filha de Judah, e as achegou á terra: profanou o reino e os seus principes.
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 Cortou no furor da sua ira toda a força de Israel: retirou para traz a sua dextra de diante do inimigo; e ardeu contra Jacob, como labareda de fogo que consome em redor.
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 Armou o seu arco como inimigo: firmou a sua dextra como adversario, e matou tudo o que era formoso á vista; derramou a sua indignação como fogo na tenda da filha de Sião.
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 Tornou-se o Senhor como inimigo; devorou a Israel, devorou a todos os seus palacios, destruiu as suas fortalezas; e multiplicou na filha de Judah a lamentação e tristeza.
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 E arrancou a sua cabana com violencia, como a de uma horta, e destruiu a sua congregação: o Senhor em Sião poz em esquecimento a solemnidade e o sabbado, e na indignação da sua ira rejeitou com desprezo o rei e o sacerdote.
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 Rejeitou o Senhor o seu altar, detestou o seu sanctuario; entregou na mão do inimigo os muros dos seus palacios: levantaram grita na casa do Senhor, como em dia de solemnidade.
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 Intentou o Senhor destruir o muro da filha de Sião: já estendeu o cordel sobre elle, não retirou a sua mão de devorar; já fez gemer o antemuro e o muro juntamente, já estão enfraquecidos.
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 Já subverteram as suas portas, destruiu e quebrou os seus ferrolhos: estão entre as nações o seu rei e os seus principes: já não ha lei, nem acham visão alguma do Senhor os seus prophetas.
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 Estão assentados por terra, estão calados os anciãos da filha de Sião; lançam pó sobre as suas cabeças, cingiram saccos: as virgens de Jerusalem abaixam as suas cabeças até á terra.
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 Já se consumiram os meus olhos com lagrimas, turbadas estão as minhas entranhas, o meu figado se derramou pela terra por causa do quebrantamento da filha do meu povo; porquanto desfallecem o menino e a creança de mama pelas ruas da cidade.
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 A suas mães dizem: Onde ha trigo e vinho? quando desfallecem como o ferido pelas ruas da cidade, derramando-se a sua alma no regaço de suas mães.
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 Que testemunho te trarei? a quem te compararei, ó filha de Jerusalem? a quem te assimilharei, para te consolar a ti, ó virgem filha de Sião? porque grande é como o mar a tua quebradura; quem te sarará?
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 Os teus prophetas virão para ti, vaidade e loucura, e não manifestaram a tua maldade, para desviarem o teu captiveiro: antes viram para ti cargas vãs e expulsões.
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 Todos os que passam pelo caminho palmeiam sobre ti com as mãos, assobiam e meneiam as suas cabeças, sobre a filha de Jerusalem, dizendo: É esta a cidade de que se dizia: Perfeita é em formosura, o gozo de toda a terra.
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 Todos os teus inimigos abrem as suas boccas sobre ti, assobiam, e rangem os dentes; dizem: Já a temos devorado; pois este é o dia que esperavamos; já o achámos, já o vimos.
[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 Fez o Senhor o que intentou; cumpriu a sua palavra, que mandára desde os dias da antiguidade: derrubou, e não se apiedou; e alegrou o inimigo sobre ti, exaltou o poder dos teus adversarios.
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 O coração d'elles clamou ao Senhor: Ó muralha da filha de Sião: derrama lagrimas como um ribeiro, de dia e de noite; não te dês descanço, nem parem as meninas de teus olhos.
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 Levanta-te, dá vozes de noite no principio das velas; derrama o teu coração como aguas diante da face do Senhor: levanta a elle as tuas mãos, pela vida de teus filhinhos, que desfallecem de fome á entrada de todas as ruas
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 Vê, ó Senhor, e considera a quem fizeste de tal modo: porventura comerão as mulheres o fructo das suas entranhas, as creanças que trazem nos braços? ou matar-se-ha no sanctuario do Senhor o sacerdote e o propheta?
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 Jazem em terra pelas ruas o moço e o velho, as minhas virgens e os meus mancebos vieram a cair á espada: tu os mataste no dia da tua ira; degolaste e não te apiedaste.
[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 Convocaste os meus temores em redor como n'um dia de solemnidade; nem houve alguem no dia da ira do Senhor que escapasse, nem quem ficasse: aos que trouxe nas mãos e sustentei o meu inimigo os consumiu.
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.
