Lamentações de Jeremias 1
1 Como assim solitária está assentada aquela cidade, de antes tão populosa! tornou-se como viúva; a que foi grande entre as nações, como a princeza entre as províncias, tornou-se tributária!
Jerusalem was [once] full of people, but now it is deserted. [Once] it was honored by people all over the world, but now it is [grieving/abandoned] like [SIM] a widow. [Once] it was [honored like] [MET] a princess [is honored] among the nations, but now [we who live here] have become slaves.
2 Continuamente chora de noite, e as suas lágrimas estão correndo pelas suas faces; não tem quem a console entre todos os seus amadores: todos os seus amigos se houveram aleivosamente com ela, se lhe tornaram inimigos.
We [PRS] weep bitterly [all] night long, with tears flowing down our cheeks. Among [the people in] all [the nations] that loved Jerusalem there are none that comfort us [now]. All [the rulers of those nations that were previously] our allies have betrayed us, and they are all now enemies [of the people of Jerusalem].
3 Judá passou em cativeiro por causa da aflição, e por causa da grandeza da sua servidão: ela habita entre as nações, não acha descanço: todos os seus perseguidores a alcançam entre as angústias.
[The people of] Judah have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries) and caused to suffer greatly as slaves. They live in [other] nations where they do not have peace/safety. Their enemies seized them, and there was no way for them to escape.
4 Os caminhos de Sião pranteam, porque não há quem venha à solenidade; todas as suas portas estão assoladas; os seus sacerdotes suspiram: as suas virgens estão tristes, e ela mesma tem amargura.
The roads to Zion [Hill] are empty [PRS] because no one comes [here] to [celebrate] the sacred festivals. The city gates are deserted, and the priests groan. The young women [of Jerusalem] cry [because] they are suffering greatly.
5 Os seus adversários se lhe fizeram cabeça, os seus inimigos prosperam; porque o Senhor a entristeceu, por causa da multidão das suas prevaricações: os seus filhinhos vão em cativeiro adiante do adversário.
Our enemies have conquered the city, and [now] they prosper. Yahweh has punished [the people of] Jerusalem because of all the sins that they have committed. The children [of Jerusalem] have been captured and taken [to other countries].
6 E da filha de Sião foi-se toda a sua glória: os seus príncipes ficaram sendo como veados que não acham pasto e caminham sem força adiante do perseguidor.
Jerusalem was a beautiful city, but it is not beautiful now. The leaders [of the city] are like [SIM] deer that are starving because of being unable to find any grass [to eat]. They are very weak, with the result that they are unable to run from their enemies.
7 Lembrou-se Jerusalém nos dias da sua aflição, e das suas rebeliões, de todas as suas mais queridas coisas, que tivera dos tempos antigos: quando caía o seu povo na mão do adversário, e ela não tinha quem a socorresse, os adversários a viram, e fizeram escarneio dos seus sábados.
[The people of] Jerusalem are sad and scattered, and they think about the previous greatness of the city. [But now] our enemies have captured the city, and there is no one to help the people. Our enemies destroyed the city and laughed while they were doing that.
8 Jerusalém gravemente pecou, por isso se fez instável: todos os que a honravam, a desprezaram, porque viram a sua nudez; ela também suspirou e se voltou para traz.
[The people of] [PRS] Jerusalem have sinned very much; [it is as though] [MET] the city has become [like] a filthy [rag]. All those who [previously] honored the city [now] despise it, because they see that it has become very disgraced [MET]. Now [the people of] the city groan, and they cover their faces [because they are very ashamed].
9 A sua imundícia está nas suas fraldas, nunca se lembrou do seu fim: por isso foi pasmosamente abatida, não tem consolador; vê, Senhor, a minha aflição, porque o inimigo se engrandece.
The city has become filthy because of [PRS] the sins that the people have committed; they did not think about what could happen to the city. [Now] the city has been destroyed, and there is no one to comfort [the people]. [The people cry out saying], “Yahweh, look at how we are suffering because our enemies have defeated us!”
10 Estendeu o adversário a sua mão a todas as coisas mais preciosas dela; pois já viu ter entrado no seu santuário as nações acerca das quais mandaste que não entrassem na tua congregação.
Our enemies have taken away all our treasures, all the valuable things that we owned. We have seen [soldiers from other] nations, [men who do not worship Yahweh], enter our sacred temple, [the place] where foreigners/non-Israelis were (forbidden/not allowed) to enter.
11 Todo o seu povo anda suspirando, buscando o pão, deram as suas coisas mais preciosas a troco de mantimento para refrescarem a alma: vê, Senhor, e contempla, que sou desprezível.
The people of the city groan while they search for food; they have given their treasures to get food [to eat] to remain alive. [They say], “Yahweh, look [at us], and see that we are despised!”
12 Porventura não vos toca a todos os que passais pelo caminho? atendei, e vede, se há dor como a minha dor, que se me fez a mim, com que me entristeceu o Senhor, no dia do furor da sua ira
You people who pass by, you do not [RHQ] seem to care at all [about what has happened to us]. Look around and see that there are no other [RHQ] people who are suffering like we are. Yahweh has caused us to suffer because he was extremely angry [with us].
13 Desde o alto enviou um fogo em meus ossos, o qual se assenhoreou: estendeu uma rede aos meus pés, fêz-me voltar para traz, fêz-me assolada e enferma todo o dia.
[It is as though] he sent a fire from heaven [MTY] that burned in our bones; [it is as though] [MET] he has placed a trap for our feet, and has prevented us from walking any further. He has abandoned us; we are weak/miserable [every day], all day long.
14 Já o jugo das minhas prevaricações está atado pela sua mão, estão entretecidas, subiram sobre o meu pescoço, prostrou a minha força: entregou-me o Senhor nas mãos dos inimigos, não posso levantar-me.
He caused the sins that we have committed to be [like] a heavy load for us to carry; [it is as though] [MET] he tied them around our necks. Previously we were strong, but he has caused us to become weak. He has allowed our enemies to capture us, and we were not able to do anything to resist them.
15 O Senhor atropelou todos os meus valentes no meio de mim; apregoou contra mim um ajuntamento, para quebrantar os meus mancebos: o Senhor pisou como num lagar a virgem filha de Judá.
Yahweh looked at our mighty soldiers and laughed at them. He has summoned a great army to [come and] crush our young soldiers. [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has trampled on [us] people of Judah like [SIM] [people trample] on grapes in a pit [to make wine].
16 Por estas coisas eu ando chorando, e o meu olho, o meu olho se desfaz em águas; porque se alongou de mim o consolador que devia restaurar a minha alma: os meus filhos estão assolados, porque prevaleceu o inimigo.
I weep because of [all] those things; my eyes are filled with tears. There is no one to comfort me; those who could encourage me are far away. Our enemies have conquered [us], so our children have nothing good to (hope for/expect to happen).
17 Estende Sião as suas mãos, não há quem a console: mandou o Senhor acerca de Jacob que lhe fossem inimigos os que estão em redor dele; Jerusalém é como uma mulher imunda.
[We people of] [PRS] Jerusalem reach out our hands [to get help], but there is no one to comfort us. Yahweh has decided concerning [us descendants of] Jacob that the people in nearby nations will become our enemies; so they consider that Jerusalem has become [like] [MET] a filthy rag.
18 Justo é o Senhor, pois me rebelei contra a sua boca: ouvi, pois, todos os povos, e vede a minha dor; as minhas virgens e os meus mancebos se foram para o cativeiro.
But what Yahweh has done [to us] is fair, because we have rebelled against obeying the commands that he gave [us]. You people everywhere, listen [to us]; [look and] see that we are suffering [greatly]. We had [many] sons and daughters, but they have been captured and forced to go to distant countries.
19 Chamei os meus amadores, porém eles me enganaram: os meus sacerdotes e os meus anciãos expiraram na cidade; porque buscavam para si mantimento, para refrescarem a sua alma.
We pleaded with our allies [to help us], but they [all] refused. Our priests and our leaders have died [from hunger] in the city while they were searching for food [to eat] to remain alive.
20 Olha, Senhor, porque estou angustiada; turbadas estão as minhas entranhas, o meu coração está transtornado no meio de mim, porque gravemente me rebelei: de fora me desfilhou a espada, de dentro está a morte
Yahweh, see that we are suffering very much. [It is as though] our inner beings are tormented. We are sad [SYN] because we have rebelled [against you]. Our enemies kill people in the streets with their swords; people are dying [because they have no food to eat].
21 Bem ouvem que eu suspiro, porém não tenho quem me console: todos os meus inimigos que ouviram o meu mal folgam, porque tu o fizeste: trazendo tu o dia que apregoaste, então serão como eu.
People have heard us while we groaned, but no one [came to] comfort us. [Yahweh, ] you caused us to experience this [disaster], and our enemies are happy to see what you have done [to us]. But cause it soon to be the time that you have promised, when our enemies will suffer like we have suffered!
22 Venha todo o seu mal diante de ti, e faze-lhes como me fizeste a mim por causa de todas as minhas prevaricações; porque os meus suspiros são muitos, e o meu coração está desfalecido.
[Yahweh, ] see all the evil things that they have done and punish them! [Punish them] like you have punished us for all the sins that we committed! [We say this to you] because we suffer and groan very much, and we (faint/are very sad).
