Lamentaciones 1
1 ¡Véala sentada sola, el pueblo que estaba lleno de gente! ¡La que fue grande entre las naciones se ha vuelto como una viuda! ¡Ella, que era una princesa entre los países, ha estado bajo el yugo del trabajo forzado!
And it came to pass, after Israel was taken captive, and Jerusalem made desolate, [that] Jeremias sat weeping, and lamented [with] this lamentation over Jerusalem, and said, ALEPH. How does the city that was filled with people sit solitary! she is become as a widow: she that was magnified amongst the nations, [and] princess amongst the provinces, has become tributary.
2 Ella se lamenta amargamente en la noche, y su rostro está empapado de llanto; entre todos sus amantes no tiene consolador; todos sus amigos le han traicionado, se han convertido en sus enemigos.
BETH. She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; and there is none of all her lovers to comfort her: all that were her friends have dealt deceitfully with her, they are become her enemies.
3 Se ha llevado a Judá como prisionero bajo aflicción y trabajo duro; su lugar de vida está entre las naciones, no hay descanso para ella; todos sus atacantes la han alcanzado en un lugar estrecho.
GIMEL. Judea is gone into captivity by reason of her affliction, and by reason of the abundance of her servitude: she dwells amongst the nations, she has not found rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between her oppressors.
4 Los caminos de Sión son tristes, porque nadie viene a la reunión solemne; todas sus puertas se convierten en basura, sus sacerdotes lloran; sus vírgenes están preocupadas, y ella está amargada.
DALETH. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the feast: all her gates are ruined: her priests groan, her virgins are led captive, and she is in bitterness in herself.
5 Los que están en contra de ella se han convertido en la cabeza, todo va bien para sus enemigos; porque el Señor le ha enviado tristeza por el gran número de sus pecados; sus hijos pequeños han salido como prisioneros por él enemigo.
HE. Her oppressors are become the head, and her enemies have prospered; for the Lord has afflicted her because of the multitude of her sins: her young children are gone into captivity before the face of the oppressor.
6 Y toda su gloria se ha ido de la hija de Sión; sus gobernantes son como ciervos que no hallan pasto, y han huido sin fuerzas delante del atacante.
VAU. And all her beauty has been taken away from the daughter of Sion: her princes were as rams finding no pasture, and are gone [away] in weakness before the face of the pursuer.
7 Jerusalén tiene en mente, los días de su dolor y de su peregrinación, todas las riquezas que eran suyas en los días pasados; cuando su gente entró en el poder de su adversario, sin que nadie le diera ninguna ayuda, al verla sus adversarios se burlaron en su destrucción.
ZAIN. Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, and her rejection; [she thought on] all her desirable things which were from the days of old, when her people fell into the hands of the oppressor, and there was none to help her: when her enemies saw [it] they laughed at her habitation.
8 Grande es el pecado de Jerusalén; por esta causa se ha convertido en una cosa impura; todos los que le dieron el honor la están mirando con desprecio, porque la han visto avergonzada; ahora, verdaderamente, ella suspira de dolor, y se vuelve atrás.
HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a [great] sin; therefore has she come into tribulation, all that used to honour her have afflicted her, for they have seen her shame: yes, she herself groaned, and turned backward.
9 En sus faldas estaban sus caminos inmundos; no pensó en su final; y su caída ha sido increíble; no tiene consolador; mira mi dolor, oh Señor; porque se ha engrandecido el enemigo.
TETH. Her uncleanness is before her feet; she remembered not her last end; she has lowered her boasting [tone], there is none to comfort her. Behold, O Lord, my affliction: for the enemy has magnified himself.
10 La mano del adversario se extiende sobre todas sus tesoros; porque ella ha visto que las naciones han venido a su lugar santo, acerca de las cuales ordenaste que no vinieran a la reunión de tu pueblo.
JOD. The oppressor has stretched out his hand on all her desirable things: for she has seen the Gentiles entering into her sanctuary, [concerning] whom you did command that they should not enter into your congregation.
11 Suspirando, toda su gente está buscando pan; han dado sus riquezas a cambio de comida para sobrevivir, mira, oh Señor, y toma nota; mira mi ruina.
CHAPH. All her people groan, seeking bread: they have given their desirable things for meat, to restore their soul: behold, Lord, and look; for she is become dishonoured.
12 ¡Vengan a mí todos los que pasan! Mantén tus ojos en mí y mira si hay algún dolor como el dolor de mi herida, que el Señor me ha enviado en el día de su ira ardiente.
LAMED. All you that pass by the way, turn, and see if there is sorrow like to my sorrow, which has happened [to me]. The Lord who spoke by me has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 Desde lo alto ha enviado fuego que penetró a mis huesos; su red está tendida para mis pies, y volví atrás por él; Me ha hecho perder y debilitarme todo el día.
MEM. He has sent fire from his lofty habitation, he has brought it into my bones: he has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: he has made me desolate [and] mourning all the day.
14 Mis pecados son atados a mi cuello como un yugo; son entrelazados por su mano, pesan en mi cuello; ha hecho ceder mi fuerza; el Señor me ha entregado en manos de aquellos contra quienes no tengo poder.
NUN. He has watched over my sins, they are twined about my hands, they have come up on my neck: my strength has failed; for the Lord has laid pains on my hands, I shall not be able to stand.
15 El Señor me hizo deportar a todos mis hombres de guerra, juntó hombres contra mí para enviar destrucción a mis jóvenes; la hija virgen de Judá ha sido aplastada como uvas bajo los pies del Señor.
SAMECH. The Lord has cut off all my strong men from the midst of me: he has summoned against me a time for crushing my choice men: the Lord has trodden a wine-press for the virgin daughter of Juda: for these things I weep.
16 Por estas cosas estoy llorando; mi ojo están llenos de lágrimas; porque el consolador que me podría dar nueva vida está lejos de mí; mis hijos están desolados, porque prevaleció el enemigo.
AIN. Mine eye has poured out water, because he that should comfort me, that should restore my soul, has been removed far from me: my sons have been destroyed, because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Las manos de Sión están extendidas; ella no tiene quien la consuele; El Señor ha dado órdenes a los atacantes de Jacob a su alrededor; Jerusalén se ha convertido en algo impuro entre ellos.
PHE. Sion has spread out her hand, [and] there is none to comfort her: the Lord has commanded [concerning] Jacob, his oppressors are round about him: Jerusalem has become amongst them as a removed woman.
18 El Señor es Justo; porque he ido en contra de sus órdenes; escucha, ahora, todos ustedes pueblos, y vean mi dolor, mis vírgenes y mis jóvenes se han ido como prisioneros.
TSADE. The Lord is righteous; for I have provoked his mouth: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my grief: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 Mandé llamar a mis amantes, pero ellos me traicionaron; mis sacerdotes y mis hombres responsables se murieron en la ciudad, mientras buscaban comida para sobrevivir.
KOPH. I called my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders failed in the city; for they sought meat that they might restore their souls, and found [it] not.
20 Mira, oh Señor, porque estoy en problemas; las partes más internas de mi cuerpo están profundamente conmovidas; mi corazón se ha vuelto en mí; porque he sido muy rebelde; afuera los niños son llevados a la espada, y en la casa hay muerte.
RHECHS. Behold, O Lord; for I am afflicted: my belly is troubled, and my heart is turned within me; for I have been grievously rebellious: abroad the sword has bereaved me, even as death at home.
21 La gente escucha la voz de mi dolor; No tengo quien me consuele todos mis enemigos tienen noticias de mis problemas, se alegran porque tu lo has hecho; que llegue el día que has anunciado, cuando sean como yo.
CHSEN. Hear, I pray you, for I groan: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard [of] mine afflictions, and rejoice because you have done [it]: you have brought on the day, you have called the time: they are become like to me.
22 Deja que todos sus males que han cometido se presenten ante ti; haz con ellos lo que me has hecho por todos mis pecados; porque son mucho mis gemidos, y la fuerza de mi corazón se ha ido.
THAU. Let all their wickedness come before your face; and strip them, as they have made a gleaning for all my sins: for my groans are many, and my heart is grieved.
