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.
How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
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.
The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
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.
He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
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 has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary. He has killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his wrath like 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.
The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
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 violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.
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.
The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in Yahweh’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
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 has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall lament. They languish together.
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.
Her gates have sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not. Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
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 elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground. They keep silence. They have cast up dust on their heads. They have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to 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 fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My bile is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
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 ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
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?
What shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big as the sea. Who can heal you?
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.
Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.
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 that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth’?”
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.
All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen it.”
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 that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
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.
Their heart cried to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief. Don’t let your eyes rest.
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
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
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?
“Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Should the women eat their offspring, the children that they held and bounced on their knees? Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
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 youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger. You have slaughtered, and not pitied.
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 have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
