1Ano't nakaupong magisa ang bayan na puno ng mga tao! Siya'y naging parang isang bao, na naging dakila sa gitna ng mga bansa! Siya na naging prinsesa sa gitna ng mga lalawigan, ay naging mamumuwis! 2Siya'y umiiyak na lubha sa gabi, at ang mga luha niya ay dumadaloy sa kaniyang mga pisngi; sa lahat ng mangingibig sa kaniya ay walang umaliw sa kaniya: ginawan siya ng kataksilan ng lahat ng kaniyang mga kaibigan; sila'y naging kaniyang mga kaaway. 3Ang Juda ay pumasok sa pagkabihag dahil sa pagdadalamhati, at sa kabigatan ng paglilingkod; siya'y tumatahan sa gitna ng mga bansa, siya'y walang masumpungang kapahingahan; inabot siya ng lahat na manghahabol sa kaniya sa mga gipit. 4Ang mga daan ng Sion ay nangagluluksa, sapagka't walang pumaparoon sa takdang kapulungan; lahat niyang pintuang-bayan ay giba, ang mga saserdote niya'y nangagbubuntong-hininga: ang mga dalaga niya ay nangagdadalamhati, at siya'y nasa kahapisan. 5Ang kaniyang mga kalaban ay naging pangulo, ang kaniyang mga kaaway ay nagsiginhawa; sapagka't pinagdalamhati siya ng Panginoon dahil sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga pagsalangsang: ang kaniyang mga batang anak ay pumasok sa pagkabihag sa harap ng kalaban. 6At nawala ang buong kamahalan ng anak na babae ng Sion: ang kaniyang mga prinsipe ay naging parang mga usa na hindi makasumpong ng pastulan, at nagsiyaong walang lakas sa harap ng manghahabol. 7Naaalaala ng Jerusalem sa kaarawan ng kaniyang pagdadalamhati at ng kaniyang mga karalitaan ang lahat niyang naging maligayang bagay ng mga kaarawan nang una: nang mahulog ang kaniyang bayan sa kamay ng kalaban, at walang sumaklolo sa kaniya, nakita siya ng mga kalaban, tinuya nila ang kaniyang mga pagkasira. 8Ang Jerusalem ay lubhang nagkasala; kaya't siya'y naging parang maruming bagay; lahat ng nangagparangal sa kaniya ay humahamak sa kaniya, sapagka't kanilang nakita ang kaniyang kahubaran: Oo, siya'y nagbubuntong-hininga, at tumatalikod. 9Ang kaniyang karumihan ay nasa kaniyang mga laylayan; hindi niya naalaala ang kaniyang huling wakas; kaya't siya'y nababa ng katakataka; siya'y walang mangaaliw; masdan mo, Oh Panginoon, ang aking pagdadalamhati; sapagka't ang kaaway ay nagmalaki. 10Iginawad ng kalaban ang kaniyang kamay sa lahat niyang maligayang bagay; sapagka't nakita niya na ang mga bansa ay pumasok sa kaniyang santuario, yaong mga inutusan mo na huwag magsipasok sa iyong kapisanan. 11Buong bayan niya ay nagbubuntong-hininga, sila'y nagsisihanap ng tinapay; ibinigay nila ang kanilang mga maligayang bagay na kapalit ng pagkain upang paginhawahin ang kaluluwa. Iyong tingnan, Oh Panginoon, at masdan mo; sapagka't ako'y naging hamak. 12Wala bagang anoman sa inyo, sa inyong lahat na nagsisipagdaan? Inyong masdan, at inyong tingnan kung may anomang kapanglawan na gaya ng aking kapanglawan, na nagawa sa akin, na idinalamhati sa akin ng Panginoon sa kaarawan ng kaniyang mabangis na galit. 13Mula sa itaas ay nagsugo siya ng apoy sa aking mga buto, at mga pinananaigan; kaniyang ipinagladlad ng silo ang aking mga paa, kaniyang ibinalik ako: kaniyang ipinahamak ako at pinapanglupaypay buong araw. 14Pamatok ng aking mga pagsalangsang ay hinigpit ng kaniyang kamay; mga nagkalakiplakip, nagsiabot sa aking leeg; kaniyang pinanglupaypay ang aking kalakasan: ibinigay ako ng Panginoon sa kanilang mga kamay, laban sa mga hindi ko matatayuan. 15Iniuwi ng Panginoon sa wala ang lahat na aking mga makapangyarihang lalake sa gitna ko; siya'y tumawag ng isang takdang kapulungan laban sa akin upang pagwaraywarayin ang aking mga binata: niyapakan ng Panginoon na parang pisaan ng ubas ang anak na dalaga ng Juda. 16Dahil sa mga bagay na ito ay umiiyak ako; ang mata ko, ang mata ko ay dinadaluyan ng luha; sapagka't ang mangaaliw na marapat magpaginhawa ng aking kaluluwa ay malayo sa akin: ang mga anak ko ay napahamak, sapagka't nanaig ang kaaway. 17Iginawad ng Sion ang kaniyang mga kamay; walang umaliw sa kaniya; nagutos ang Panginoon tungkol sa Jacob, na silang nangasa palibot niya ay magiging kaniyang mga kalaban: ang Jerusalem ay parang maruming bagay sa gitna nila. 18Ang Panginoon ay matuwid; sapagka't ako'y nanghimagsik laban sa kaniyang utos: inyong pakinggan, isinasamo ko sa inyo, ninyong lahat na bayan, at inyong masdan ang aking kapanglawan: ang aking mga dalaga at ang aking mga binata ay pumasok sa pagkabihag. 19Aking tinawagan ang mga mangingibig sa akin, nguni't dinaya nila: nalagot ang hininga ng aking mga saserdote at ng aking mga matanda sa bayan, habang nagsisihanap sila ng pagkain upang paginhawahin ang kanilang kaluluwa. 20Masdan mo, Oh Panginoon; sapagka't ako'y nasa kapanglawan; ang aking puso ay namamanglaw; ang aking puso ay nagugulumihanan; sapagka't ako'y lubhang nanghimagsik: sa labas ay tabak ang lumalansag, sa loob ay may parang kamatayan. 21Nabalitaan nila na ako'y nagbubuntong-hininga; walang umaliw sa akin; Lahat ng aking mga kaaway ay nangakarinig ng aking kabagabagan; sila'y nangatuwa na iyong ginawa: iyong pararatingin ang araw na iyong itinanyag, at sila'y magiging gaya ko. 22Magsidating nawa ang lahat nilang kasamaan sa harap mo; at gawin mo sa kanila, ang gaya ng ginawa mo sa akin dahil sa lahat kong mga pagsalangsang: sapagka't ang aking mga buntong-hininga ay marami, at ang aking puso ay nanglulupaypay.
1How 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 tributary! 2She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her: All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they are become her enemies. 3Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her within the straits. 4The ways of Zion do mourn, because no one come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh: her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness. 5Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; for Yahweh has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary. 6From the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed: her princes are become like deer that find no pasture, they are gone without strength before the pursuer. 7Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant 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. 8Jerusalem 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 sighs, and turns backward. 9Her filthiness was in her skirts; she didn’t remember her latter end; therefore is she come down wonderfully; she has no comforter: see, Yahweh, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself. 10The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things: for she has seen that the nations are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly. 11All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul: look, Yahweh, and see; for I am become abject. 12Is 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 Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. 13From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them; He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: He has made me desolate and faint all the day. 14The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; They are knit together, they have come up on 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. 15The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men in the midst of me; He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: The Lord has trodden as in a wine press the virgin daughter of Judah. 16For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water; Because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me: My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed. 17Zion spreads out her hands; there is no one to comfort her; Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing. 18Yahweh is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow: My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. 19I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city, While they sought them food to refresh their souls. 20See, Yahweh; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled; My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: Abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death. 21They have heard that I sigh; there is no one to comfort me; All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it: You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they shall be like me. 22Let all their wickedness come before you; Do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
1Aleph. Hoe zit die stad zo eenzaam, die vol volks was, zij is als een weduwe geworden, zij, die groot was onder de heidenen, een vorstin onder de landschappen, is cijnsbaar geworden. 2Beth. Zij weent steeds des nachts, en haar tranen lopen over haar kinnebakken; zij heeft geen trooster onder al haar liefhebbers; al haar vrienden hebben trouwelooslijk met haar gehandeld, zij zijn haar tot vijanden geworden. 3Gimel. Juda is in gevangenis gegaan vanwege de ellende, en vanwege de veelheid der dienstbaarheid; zij woont onder de heidenen, zij vindt geen rust; al haar vervolgers achterhalen ze tussen de engten. 4Daleth. De wegen Sions treuren, omdat niemand op het feest komt; al haar poorten zijn woest, haar priesters zuchten: haar jonkvrouwen zijn bedroefd, en zij zelve is in bitterheid. 5He. Haar tegenpartijders zijn ten hoofd geworden, haar vijanden zijn gerust; omdat haar de HEERE bedroefd heeft, vanwege de veelheid harer overtredingen; haar kinderkens gaan henen in de gevangenis voor het aangezicht des tegenpartijders. 6Vau. En van de dochter Sions is al haar sieraad weggegaan; haar vorsten zijn als de herten, die geen weide vinden, en zij gaan krachteloos henen voor het aangezicht des vervolgers. 7Zain. Jeruzalem is, in de dagen harer ellende en harer veelvuldige ballingschap, indachtig aan al haar gewenste dingen, die zij van oude dagen af gehad heeft; dewijl haar volk door de hand des tegenpartijders valt, en zij geen helper heeft; de tegenpartijders zien haar aan, zij spotten met haar rustdagen. 8Cheth. Jeruzalem heeft zwaarlijk gezondigd, daarom is zij als een afgezonderde vrouw geworden; allen, die haar eerden, achten haar onwaard, dewijl zij haar naaktheid gezien hebben; zij zucht ook, en zij is achterwaarts gekeerd. 9Teth. Haar onreinheid is in haar zomen, zij heeft niet gedacht aan haar uiterste, daarom is zij wonderbaarlijk omlaag gedaald; zij heeft geen trooster. HEERE, zie mijn ellende aan, want de vijand maakt zich groot. 10Jod. De tegenpartijder heeft zijn hand aan al haar gewenste dingen uitgebreid; immers heeft zij aangezien, dat de heidenen in haar heiligdom gingen, waarvan Gij geboden hadt, dat zij in Uw gemeente niet komen zouden. 11Caph. Al haar volk zucht, brood zoekende, zij hebben hun gewenste dingen voor spijs gegeven, om de ziel te verkwikken. Zie, HEERE, en aanschouw, dat ik onwaard geworden ben. 12Lamed. Gaat het ulieden niet aan, gij allen, die over weg gaat? Schouwt het aan en ziet, of er een smart zij gelijk mijn smart, die mij aangedaan is, waarmede de HEERE mij bedroefd heeft ten dage der hittigheid Zijns toorns. 13Mem. Van de hoogte heeft Hij een vuur in mijn beenderen gezonden, waarover Hij geheerst heeft; Hij heeft voor mijn voeten een net uitgebreid, Hij heeft mij achterwaarts doen keren, Hij heeft mij woest en ziek gemaakt den gansen dag. 14Nun. Het juk mijner overtredingen is aangebonden door Zijn hand, zij zijn samengevlochten, zij zijn op mijn hals geklommen; Hij heeft mijn kracht doen vervallen; de HEERE heeft mij in hun handen gegeven, ik kan niet opstaan. 15Samech. De Heere heeft al mijn sterken in het midden van mij vertreden; Hij heeft een bijeenkomst over mij uitgeroepen, om mijn jongelingen te verbreken; de Heere heeft de wijnpers der jonkvrouw, der dochter van Juda, getreden. 16Ain. Om dezer dingen wille ween ik; mijn oog, mijn oog vliet af van water, omdat de trooster, die mijn ziel zou verkwikken, verre van mij is; mijn kinderen zijn verwoest, omdat de vijand de overhand heeft. 17Pe. Sion breidt haar handen uit, daar is geen trooster voor haar; de HEERE heeft van Jakob geboden, dat die rondom hem zijn, zijn tegenpartijders zouden zijn; Jeruzalem is als een afgezonderde vrouw onder hen. 18Tsade. De HEERE is rechtvaardig, want ik ben Zijn mond wederspannig geweest; hoort toch, alle gij volken, en ziet mijn smart; mijn jonkvrouwen en mijn jongelingen zijn in de gevangenis gegaan. 19Koph. Ik riep tot mijn liefhebbers, maar zij hebben mij bedrogen; mijn priesters en mijn oudsten hebben in de stad den geest gegeven, als zij spijze voor zich zochten, opdat zij hun ziel mochten verkwikken. 20Resch. Aanzie, HEERE, want mij is bange; mijn ingewand is beroerd, mijn hart heeft zich omgekeerd in het binnenste van mij, want ik ben zeer wederspannig geweest; van buiten heeft mij het zwaard van kinderen beroofd, van binnen is als de dood. 21Schin. Zij horen, dat ik zucht, maar ik heb geen trooster; al mijn vijanden horen mijn kwaad; en zij zijn vrolijk, dat Gij het gedaan hebt; als Gij den dag zult voortgebracht hebben, dien Gij uitgeroepen hebt, zo zullen zij zijn, gelijk ik ben. 22Thau. Laat al hun kwaad voor Uw aangezicht komen, en doe hun, gelijk als Gij mij gedaan hebt vanwege al mijn overtredingen; want mijn zuchtingen zijn vele, en mijn hart is mat.
