< Lamentações de Jeremias 1 >

1 Como se senta solitária a cidade que era tão populosa! A grande entre as nações tornou-se como viúva, a senhora de províncias passou a ser escrava.
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 Amargamente chora na noite, suas lágrimas em seu rosto; entre todos os seus amantes não há quem a console; todos os seus amigos a traíram, inimigos se tornaram.
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 foi ao cativeiro com aflição e grande servidão; ela habita entre as nações, mas não acha descanso; todos os seus perseguidores a alcançam em meio ao aperto.
[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 estão em pranto, pois ninguém vem aos festivais; todas as suas portas estão desertas, seus sacerdotes gemem, suas virgens se afligem, e ela sofre de 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 Seus oponentes estão no comando, seus inimigos prosperam; pois o SENHOR a afligiu por causa das suas muitas transgressões; suas crianças foram 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 Partiu-se toda a beleza da filha de Sião; seus líderes estão como cervos, não acham pasto algum; eles andam fracos, fugindo 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 Nos dias da sua aflição, e de suas andanças perdidas, Jerusalém lembra-se de todas as suas preciosidades, que tinha nos tempos antigos; quando seu povo caiu na mão do adversário, não houve quem a ajudasse; os adversários a viram, e zombaram da sua queda.
[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 pecou gravemente; por isso ela se tornou impura; todos os que a honravam a desprezam, porque viram a sua nudez; ela geme, e se vira para trás.
[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 Sua imundície estava até nas roupas; nunca se importou com o seu futuro; por isso caiu espantosamente, sem ter quem a consolasse. Olha, SENHOR, a minha aflição, porque o inimigo está engrandecido.
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 O adversário tomou todas as suas coisas de valor; ela viu as nações entrarem no seu templo - aquelas que proibiste de entrarem 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 em busca de pão; trocaram todas os seus bens por comida a fim de sobreviverem. Olha, SENHOR, e vê que estou desprezada.
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 Todos vós que estais passando, não vos [importais]? Olhai, e vede se há dor como a minha, que me foi imposta, que o SENHOR me afligiu no dia da sua ira ardente.
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 ele enviou fogo em meus ossos, o qual os dominou; ele estendeu uma rede a meus pés, fez-me voltar para trás; tornou-me assolada, sofrendo dores o dia todo.
[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 O jugo de minhas transgressões está amarrado por sua mão, elas estão ligadas, postas sobre o meu pescoço; ele abateu minhas forças. O Senhor me entregou nas suas mãos daqueles contra quem não posso me levantar.
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 derrotou todos os meus fortes em meio de mim; convocou contra mim um ajuntamento para quebrar os meus rapazes; o Senhor tem pisado a virgem filha de Judá como [se fosse] em uma prensa de uvas.
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 que eu choro; meus olhos, de meus olhos correm águas; pois afastou-se de mim consolador que daria descanso à minha alma: meus filhos estão desolados, porque o inimigo prevaleceu.
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 Sião estendeu suas mãos, não há quem a console; o SENHOR deu ordens contra Jacó, para que seus inimigos o cercassem: Jerusalém se tornou imunda entre eles.
[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 O SENHOR é justo; eu que me rebelei contra sua boca. Ouvi, pois, todos os povos, e vede minha dor; minhas virgens e meus rapazes foram em 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 Clamei a meus amantes, porém eles me enganaram; meus sacerdotes e meus anciãos pereceram na cidade; pois buscam comida para si tentarem sobreviver. )
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, que estou angustiada; tormentam-se minhas entranhas, meu coração está transtornado em meio de mim, pois gravemente me rebelei; de fora desfilhou [-me] a espada, de dentro está como 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 Eles me ouvem gemendo, [porém] não tenho consolador. Todos meus inimigos, quando ouvem minha aflição se alegram, pois tu o fizeste. Quando tu trouxeres o dia que anunciaste, eles 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 Toda a maldade deles venha diante de ti, e faze com eles assim como fizeste comigo por causa de todas as minhas transgressões; pois meus gemidos são muitos, e 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).
