Lamentations 1
1 HOW DOTH the city sit solitary, that was full of people! How is she become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
Kako mesto sedi osamljeno, ki je bilo polno ljudstva! Kako je ona postala kakor vdova! Ona, ki je bila velika med narodi in princesa med provincami, kako je postala podvržena davku!
2 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; she hath none to comfort her among all her lovers; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
Bridko joka ponoči in njene solze so na njenih licih. Med vsemi svojimi ljubimci nima nikogar, da jo potolaži. Vsi njeni prijatelji so zahrbtno postopali z njo, postali so njeni sovražniki.
3 Judah is gone into exile because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest; all her pursuers overtook her within the straits.
Juda je odšel v ujetništvo zaradi stiske in zaradi velikega hlapčevstva. Prebiva med pogani, ne najde nobenega počitka. Vsi njegovi preganjalci so ga dohiteli med ožinami.
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
Poti [na] Sion žalujejo, ker ni nihče prišel k slovesnim praznikom. Vsa njena velika vrata so zapuščena. Njeni duhovniki vzdihujejo, njene device so užaloščene in sama je v grenkobi.
5 Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies are at ease; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
Njeni nasprotniki so vodilni, njeni sovražniki uspevajo; kajti Gospod jo je prizadel zaradi množice njenih prestopkov. Njeni otroci so odšli v ujetništvo pred sovražnikom.
6 And gone is from the daughter of Zion all her splendour; her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
Od sionske hčere je odšla vsa njena lepota. Njeni princi so postali podobni jelenom, ki ne najdejo pašnika in odšli so brez moči pred zasledovalcem.
7 Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her anguish all her treasures that she had from the days of old; now that her people fall by the hand of the adversary, and none doth help her, the adversaries have seen her, they have mocked at her desolations.
V dneh svoje stiske in svojih bed se je [prestolnica] Jeruzalem spomnila vseh svojih prijetnih stvari, ki jih je imela v dneh davnine, ko je njeno ljudstvo padlo v roko sovražnika in ji nihče ni pomagal. Nasprotniki so jo videli in jo zasmehovali pri njenih šabatih.
8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore she is become as one unclean; all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness; she herself also sigheth, and turneth backward.
[Prestolnica] Jeruzalem je bridko grešila, zato je odstranjena. Vsi, ki so jo častili, jo prezirajo, ker so videli njeno nagoto. Da, ona vzdihuje in se obrača nazaj.
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts, she was not mindful of her end; therefore is she come down wonderfully, she hath no comforter. 'Behold, O LORD, my affliction, for the enemy hath magnified himself.'
Njena umazanost je v krajcih njenih oblačil; ne spominja se svojega zadnjega konca, zato se je čudovito spustila. Nobenega tolažnika ni imela. Oh Gospod, glej mojo stisko, kajti sovražnik se je poveličal.
10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her treasures; for she hath seen that the heathen are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom Thou didst command that they should not enter into Thy congregation.
Nasprotnik je svojo roko razprostrl nad vse njene prijetne stvari, kajti videla je, da so pogani vstopili v njeno svetišče, katerim si zapovedal, da naj ne vstopijo v tvojo skupnost.
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul. 'See, O LORD, and behold, how abject I am become.'
Vse njeno ljudstvo vzdihuje, iščejo kruh; svoje prijetne stvari so dali za hrano, da podprejo dušo. Glej, oh Gospod in preudari, kajti postala sem ničvredna.
12 'Let it not come unto you, all ye that pass by! Behold, and see if there be any pain like unto my pain, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.
Ali vam ni to nič, vsi vi, ki greste mimo? Glejte in vidite, če je tam kakršnakoli bridkost podobna moji bridkosti, ki mi je storjena, s katero me je Gospod prizadel na dan svoje krute jeze.
13 From on high hath He sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them; He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me back; He hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
Od zgoraj je poslal ogenj v moje kosti in ta je prevladal zoper njih. Razprostrl je mrežo za moja stopala, obrnil me je nazaj. Naredil me je zapuščeno in ves dan slabim.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is impressed by His hand; they are knit together, they are come up upon my neck; He hath made my strength to fail; the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
Jarem mojih prestopkov je zvezan z njegovo roko. Oviti so in prišli so gor nad moj vrat. Moji moči je storil, da odpove, Gospod me je izročil v njihove roke, pred katerimi se nisem zmožen dvigniti.
15 The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; He hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men; the Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin the daughter of Judah.'
Gospod je pod stopalom pomendral vse moje mogočne može v moji sredi. Zoper mene je sklical zbor, da zdrobi moje mladeniče. Gospod je pomendral devico, Judovo hčer, kakor v vinski stiskalnici.
16 'For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter is far from me, even he that should refresh my soul; my children are desolate, because the enemy hath prevailed.'
Zaradi teh stvari jokam. Moje oko, moje oko teče dol z vodo, ker je tolažnik, ki naj bi razbremenil mojo dušo, daleč od mene. Moji otroci so zapuščeni, ker je sovražnik prevladal.
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries; Jerusalem is among them as one unclean.
Sion razširja svoje roke in tam ni nikogar, da jo potolaži. Gospod je zapovedal glede Jakoba, da naj bi bili njegovi nasprotniki naokoli njega. [Prestolnica] Jeruzalem je med njimi kakor ženska, ki ima menstruacijo.
18 'The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against His word; hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my pain: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
Gospod je pravičen, kajti uprla sem se zoper njegovo zapoved. Poslušajte, prosim vas, vsa ljudstva in glejte mojo bridkost. Moje device in moji mladeniči so odšli v ujetništvo.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and mine elders perished in the city, while they sought them food to refresh their souls.
Poklicala sem svoje ljubimce, toda oni so me zavedli. Moji duhovniki in moje starešine so v mestu izročili duha, medtem ko so iskali svojo hrano, da podprejo svoje duše.
20 Behold, O LORD, for I am in distress, mine inwards burn; my heart is turned within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is the like of death.
Glej, oh Gospod, kajti v tegobi sem. Moja notranjost je nemirna; moje srce je obrnjeno znotraj mene; kajti neposlušno sem se uprla. Zunaj ropa meč, doma je kakor smrt.
21 They have heard that I sigh, there is none to comfort me; all mine enemies have heard of my trouble, and are glad, for Thou hast done it; Thou wilt bring the day that Thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto me.
Slišali so, da sem zavzdihnila. Tam ni nikogar, da me potolaži. Vsi moji sovražniki so slišali o moji stiski; veseli so, da si to storil. Privedel boš dan, ki si ga poklical in oni bodo podobni meni.
22 Let all their wickedness come before Thee; and do unto them, as Thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions; for my sighs are many and my heart is faint.'
Naj vsa njihova zlobnost pride predte, in stori jim, kakor si storil meni, zaradi vseh mojih prestopkov, kajti mojih vzdihov je mnogo in moje srce je oslabelo.
