Lamentaciones 1
1 ¡Cómo está asentada sola la ciudad antes populosa! la grande entre las naciones es vuelta como viuda: la señora de provincias es hecha tributaria.
How the city sits solitary, that was full of people. She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations. She who was a princess among the provinces has become a forced laborer.
2 Llorando llorará en la noche, y sus lágrimas en sus mejillas: no tiene quien la consuele de todos sus amadores: todos sus amigos le faltaron, volviéronsele enemigos.
She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies.
3 Judá pasó en cautividad a causa de la aflicción, y de la grandeza de servidumbre: ella moró entre las gentes, y no halló descanso: todos sus perseguidores la alcanzaron entre estrechuras.
Judah has gone into exile because of affliction and harsh servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her in the midst of her distress.
4 Las calzadas de Sión tienen luto, porque no hay quien venga a las solemnidades: todas sus puertas son asoladas: sus sacerdotes gimen, sus vírgenes afligidas, y ella tiene amargura.
The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests groan: her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
5 Sus enemigos son hechos cabeza, sus aborrecedores fueron prosperados; porque Jehová la afligió por la multitud de sus rebeliones: sus niños fueron en cautividad delante del enemigo.
Her adversaries have become the head, her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
6 Fuése de la hija de Sión toda su hermosura: sus príncipes fueron como ciervos que no hallaron pasto; y anduvieron sin fortaleza delante del perseguidor.
All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion: her leaders have become like deer that find no pasture, they fled exhausted before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem, cuando su pueblo cayó en la mano del enemigo, y no hubo quien le ayudase, entonces se acordó de los días de su aflicción, y de sus rebeliones, y de todas sus cosas deseables que tuvo desde los tiempos antiguos: miráronla los enemigos, y escarnecieron de sus sábados.
Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and wandering all her precious things that were from the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and no one helped her. The adversaries saw her, they mocked at her desolations.
8 Pecado pecó Jerusalem, por lo cual ella ha sido removida: todos los que antes la honraban, la menospreciaron, porque vieron su vergüenza: ella también suspira, y es vuelta atrás.
Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she has become as an unclean thing; all who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yes, she groans, and turns away.
9 Sus inmundicias trajo en sus faldas, no se acordó de su postrimería: por tanto ella ha descendido maravillosamente, no tiene consolador. Mira, o! Jehová, mi aflicción, porque el enemigo se ha engrandecido.
Her filthiness was in her skirts; she did not remember her latter end; therefore her fall was astonishing; she has no comforter. "Look, LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself."
10 Extendió su mano el enemigo a todas sus cosas preciosas; y ella vio a las gentes entrar en su santuario, de las cuales mandaste que no entrasen en tu congregación.
The adversary has spread out his hand on all her precious things: for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
11 Todo su pueblo buscó su pan suspirando, dieron por la comida todas sus cosas preciosas para refocilar el alma. Mira, o! Jehová, y ve, que soy tornada vil.
All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their precious things for food to refresh the soul. "Look, LORD, and see, for I am despised."
12 No os sea molesto todos los que pasáis por el camino, mirád, y ved, si hay dolor como mi dolor, que me ha venido; porque Jehová me ha angustiado en el día de la ira de su furor.
Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, with which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 Desde lo alto envió fuego en mis huesos, el cual se enseñoreó: extendió red a mis pies, tornóme atrás, púsome asolada, y entristecida todo el día.
From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it overcame them. He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back. He has made me desolate and faint all the day.
14 El yugo de mis rebeliones está ligado en su mano, entretejidas han subido sobre mi cerviz: ha hecho caer mis fuerzas: háme entregado el Señor en manos de donde no podré levantarme.
My transgressions are bound into a yoke; by his hand they are fastened together, they are set upon my neck; he has made my strength to fail. The LORD has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
15 El Señor ha hollado todos mis fuertes en medio de mí: llamó contra mí compañía para quebrantar mis mancebos: lagar ha pisado el Señor a la virgen hija de Judá.
The LORD has rejected all my mighty men in my midst; he has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The LORD has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 Por esta causa yo lloro: mis ojos, mis ojos fluyen aguas; porque se alejó de mí consolador que dé reposo a mi alma: mis hijos son destruidos, porque el enemigo prevaleció.
For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears; because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me. My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Sión extendió sus manos, no tiene consolador: Jehová dio mandamiento contra Jacob, que sus enemigos le cercasen: Jerusalem fue en abominación entre ellos.
Zion spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her. The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
18 Jehová es justo, que yo contra su boca rebelé. Oíd ahora todos los pueblos, y ved mi dolor: mis vírgenes y mis mancebos fueron en cautividad.
The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please listen all you people, and see my suffering. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
19 Di voces a mis amadores, mas ellos me han engañado: mis sacerdotes y mis ancianos, en la ciudad perecieron, buscando comida para sí con que entretener su vida.
I called for my lovers, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders perished in the city, while they searched for food to refresh their souls.
20 Mira, o! Jehová, que estoy atribulada, mis entrañas rugen, mi corazón está trastornado en medio de mí; porque rebelé rebelando: de fuera me deshijó la espada, de dentro parece una muerte:
See, LORD, for I am in distress; my stomach churns; my heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled. Outside the sword bereaves, in the house it is like death.
21 Oyeron que gemía, y no hay consolador para mí: todos mis enemigos, oído mi mal, se holgaron, porque tú lo hiciste: trajiste el día que señalaste: mas serán como yo.
They have heard that I groan; there is none to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it. Bring the day that you have proclaimed, so that they shall end up like me.
22 Entre delante de ti toda su maldad, y haz con ellos como hiciste conmigo por todas mis rebeliones; porque muchos son mis suspiros, y mi corazón está doloroso.
Let all their wickedness come before you. Do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is faint.
