Žalostinke 2
1 Kako je Gospod v svoji jezi pokril sionsko hčer z oblakom in vrgel dol z neba na zemljo Izraelovo lepoto in se ni spominjal svoje pručke na dan svoje jeze!
How the Lord has covered the Daughter of Zion with the cloud of His anger! He has cast the glory of Israel from heaven to earth. He has abandoned His footstool in the day of His anger.
2 Gospod je požrl vsa Jakobova prebivališča in se ni usmilil. V svojem besu je zrušil oporišča Judove hčere; privedel jih je dol do tal. Oskrunil je kraljestvo in njegove prince.
Without pity the Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob. In His wrath He has demolished the fortified cities of the Daughter of Judah. He brought to the ground and defiled her kingdom and its princes.
3 V svoji kruti jezi je odrezal ves Izraelov rog. Svojo desnico je umaknil izpred sovražnika in zoper Jakoba je gorel plameneč ogenj, ki požira vsenaokrog.
In fierce anger He has cut off every horn of Israel and withdrawn His right hand at the approach of the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire that consumes everything around it.
4 Svoj lok je upognil kakor sovražnik. S svojo desnico je stal kakor nasprotnik in usmrtil vse, ki so bili prijetni za oko v šotorskem svetišču sionske hčere. Svojo razjarjenost je izlil kakor ogenj.
He has bent His bow like an enemy; His right hand is positioned. Like a foe He has killed all who were pleasing to the eye; He has poured out His wrath like fire on the tent of the Daughter of Zion.
5 Gospod je bil kakor sovražnik. Požrl je Izraela, požrl je vse njegove palače. Uničil je vsa njegova oporišča in v Judovi hčeri je povečal žalovanje in objokovanje.
The Lord is like an enemy; He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation for the Daughter of Judah.
6 Nasilno je odvzel svoje šotorsko svetišče, kakor če bi bil ta od vrta. Uničil je njegove kraje zborovanja. Gospod je storil, da se slovesni prazniki in šabate pozabijo v Sionu in v ogorčenju svoje jeze je preziral kralja in duhovnika.
He has laid waste His tabernacle like a garden booth; He has destroyed His place of meeting. The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed feasts and Sabbaths. In His fierce anger He has despised both king and priest.
7 Gospod je zavrgel svoj oltar, preziral svoje svetišče, zidove svoje palače je predal v roko sovražnika; v Gospodovi hiši so vzdignili hrup kakor na dan slovesnega praznika.
The Lord has rejected His altar; He has abandoned His sanctuary; He has delivered the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of the LORD as on the day of an appointed feast.
8 Gospod se je namenil, da uniči obzidje sionske hčere. Iztegnil je vrvico, svoje roke ni umaknil pred uničevanjem. Zato je naredil obrambni zid in obzidje za žalovanje; skupaj so slabeli.
The LORD determined to destroy the wall of the Daughter of Zion. He stretched out a measuring line and did not withdraw His hand from destroying. He made the ramparts and walls lament; together they waste away.
9 Njena velika vrata so se pogreznila v tla; uničeni in zlomljeni so njeni zapahi. Njen kralj in njeni princi so med pogani. Postave ni več, tudi njeni preroki ne najdejo videnja od Gospoda.
Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and shattered their bars. Her king and her princes are exiled among the nations, the law is no more, and even her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
10 Starešine hčere sionske sedijo na tleh in molčijo. Na svoje glave so metali prah. Opasali so se z vrečevino. Device [prestolnice] Jeruzalem svoje glave povešajo k tlom.
The elders of the Daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The young women of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.
11 Moje oči pešajo s solzami, moja notranjost je vznemirjena, moja jetra so izlita na zemljo zaradi uničenja hčere mojega ljudstva; ker so otroci in dojenčki omedlevali na ulicah mesta.
My eyes fail from weeping; I am churning within. My heart is poured out in grief over the destruction of the daughter of my people, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 Svojim materam pravijo: »Kje sta žito in vino?« ko so omedlevali kakor ranjeni na ulicah mesta, ko so bile njihove duše izlite v naročje njihovih mater.
They cry out to their mothers: “Where is the grain and wine?” as they faint like the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in the arms of their mothers.
13 Kakšno stvar bom vzel, da pričuje zate? S kakšno stvarjo te bom primerjal, oh hči [prestolnice] Jeruzalem? Kaj bom enačil s teboj, da bi te lahko potolažil, oh devica, hči sionska, kajti tvoja vrzel je velika kakor morje. Kdo te lahko ozdravi?
What can I say for you? To what can I compare you, O Daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I liken you, that I may console you, O Virgin Daughter of Zion? For your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can ever heal you?
14 Tvoji preroki so zate videli prazne in bedaste stvari in niso odkrili tvoje krivičnosti, da odvrnejo tvoje ujetništvo, temveč so zate videli napačna bremena in razloge izgnanstva.
The visions of your prophets were empty and deceptive; they did not expose your guilt to ward off your captivity. The burdens they envisioned for you were empty and misleading.
15 Vsi, ki gredo mimo, s svojimi rokami ploskajo nad teboj, sikajo in s svojimi glavami zmajujejo ob jeruzalemski hčeri, rekoč: »Ali je to mesto, ki ga ljudje imenujejo Popolnost lepote, Radost celotne zemlje?«
All who pass by clap their hands at you in scorn. They hiss and shake their heads at the Daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of all the earth?”
16 Vsi tvoji sovražniki so odprli svoja usta zoper tebe. Sikajo in škripajo z zobmi. Pravijo: »Požrli smo jo. Zagotovo, to je dan, ki smo se ga veselili; našli smo, videli smo to.
All your enemies open their mouths against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth, saying, “We have swallowed her up. This is the day for which we have waited. We have lived to see it!”
17 Gospod je storil to, kar je načrtoval. Izpolnil je svojo besedo, ki jo je zapovedal od dni davnine. Zrušil je in se ni usmilil in tvojemu sovražniku je dal, da se veseli nad teboj, vzdignil je rog tvojih nasprotnikov.
The LORD has done what He planned; He has accomplished His decree, which He ordained in days of old; He has overthrown you without pity. He has let the enemy gloat over you and exalted the horn of your foes.
18 Njihovo srce je klicalo h Gospodu, oh obzidje hčere sionske, naj solze tečejo kakor reka, podnevi in ponoči. Ne daj si počitka, naj punčica tvojega očesa ne preneha.
The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. O wall of the Daughter of Zion, let your tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, and your eyes no rest.
19 Vstani, zavpij ponoči. Ob začetku straž izlij svoje srce kakor vodo pred Gospodovim obrazom. Dvigni svoje roke k njemu zaradi življenja svojih mladih otrok, ki slabijo zaradi lakote na vrhu vsake ulice.
Arise, cry out in the night from the first watch of the night. Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to Him for the lives of your children who are fainting from hunger on the corner of every street.
20 Glej, oh Gospod in preudari, komu si to storil. Mar bodo ženske jedle svoj sad, otroke pedenj dolge? Mar bosta duhovnik in prerok umorjena v Gospodovem svetišču?
Look, O LORD, and consider: Whom have You ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the infants they have nurtured? Should priests and prophets be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Mladi in stari ležijo po tleh na ulicah. Moje device in moji mladeniči so padli pod mečem; umoril si jih na dan svoje jeze, pobil si jih in se nisi usmilil.
Both young and old lie together in the dust of the streets. My young men and maidens have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of Your anger; You have slaughtered them without compassion.
22 Poklical si kakor na slovesen dan moje strahote naokoli, tako da na dan Gospodove jeze nihče ni pobegnil niti preostal. Tiste, ki sem jih povil in vzgojil, je použil moj sovražnik.
You summoned my attackers on every side, as for the day of an appointed feast. In the day of the LORD’s anger no one escaped or survived; my enemy has destroyed those I nurtured and reared.
