Lamentations 1
1 Jerusalem was [once] full of people, but now it is deserted. [Once] it was honored by people all over the world, but now it is [grieving/abandoned] like [SIM] a widow. [Once] it was [honored like] [MET] a princess [is honored] among the nations, but now [we who live here] have become slaves.
Indrisy, mitoetra manirery izao ilay tanàna feno olona! Efa tonga toy ny mpitondratena izy! Ilay nalaza tamin’ ny firenena sy andriambavy tamin’ ny tany samy hafa dia efa miankin-doha kosa izao!
2 We [PRS] weep bitterly [all] night long, with tears flowing down our cheeks. Among [the people in] all [the nations] that loved Jerusalem there are none that comfort us [now]. All [the rulers of those nations that were previously] our allies have betrayed us, and they are all now enemies [of the people of Jerusalem].
Mitomany dia mitomany izy nony alina, ary ny ranomasony dia eny an-takolany; Izay rehetra tia azy dia tsy misy mampionona azy; Ny sakaizany rehetra efa nivadika taminy ka tonga fahavalony.
3 [The people of] Judah have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries) and caused to suffer greatly as slaves. They live in [other] nations where they do not have peace/safety. Their enemies seized them, and there was no way for them to escape.
Lasan-ko babo ny Joda noho ny fahoriana sy ny haben’ ny fanompoana; Mipetraka ao amin’ ny jentilisa izy, nefa tsy mahita fitsaharana; Izay rehetra nanenjika azy dia nahatratra azy teo an-ketena.
4 The roads to Zion [Hill] are empty [PRS] because no one comes [here] to [celebrate] the sacred festivals. The city gates are deserted, and the priests groan. The young women [of Jerusalem] cry [because] they are suffering greatly.
Ireo lalana mankany Ziona dia mitomany, satria tsy misy miakatra ho amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana; Lao ny vavahadiny rehetra, misento ny mpisorony; Ory ny virijinany, ary Ziona dia efa azon’ ny fahoriana mangidy.
5 Our enemies have conquered the city, and [now] they prosper. Yahweh has punished [the people of] Jerusalem because of all the sins that they have committed. The children [of Jerusalem] have been captured and taken [to other countries].
Ny rafiny no mpanapaka, ny fahavalony no miadana, Satria Jehovah no efa nampahory azy noho ny hamaroan’ ny fahotany; Ny zanany madinika dia lasan-ko babo eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony,
6 Jerusalem was a beautiful city, but it is not beautiful now. The leaders [of the city] are like [SIM] deer that are starving because of being unable to find any grass [to eat]. They are very weak, with the result that they are unable to run from their enemies.
Ary ny voninahitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy rehetra dia efa tsy ananany intsony; Ny mpanapaka azy dia toy ny diera tsy mahita ahitra, Ary mandeha reraka eo anoloan’ ny mpanenjika azy izy.
7 [The people of] Jerusalem are sad and scattered, and they think about the previous greatness of the city. [But now] our enemies have captured the city, and there is no one to help the people. Our enemies destroyed the city and laughed while they were doing that.
Tsaroan’ i Jerosalema amin’ ny andro fahoriany sy fanjenjenany ny zava-tsoa rehetra izay nananany hatry ny ela; Fa nony naripaky ny fahavalo ny olony, ka tsy nisy namonjy azy, dia nahita azy ny fahavalo ka nihomehy ny faharavany.
8 [The people of] [PRS] Jerusalem have sinned very much; [it is as though] [MET] the city has become [like] a filthy [rag]. All those who [previously] honored the city [now] despise it, because they see that it has become very disgraced [MET]. Now [the people of] the city groan, and they cover their faces [because they are very ashamed].
Efa nanota dia nanota Jerosalema, ka izany no nahatonga azy ho fahavetavetana; izay rehetra nanaja azy dia mamingavinga azy, satria efa nahita ny fitanjahany ireny; Eny, na ny tenany aza dia miferinaina sady miamboho.
9 The city has become filthy because of [PRS] the sins that the people have committed; they did not think about what could happen to the city. [Now] the city has been destroyed, and there is no one to comfort [the people]. [The people cry out saying], “Yahweh, look at how we are suffering because our enemies have defeated us!”
Ny lotony dia teo amin’ ny moron-tongotr’ akanjony, tsy nitsapa farany izy; Dia mahagaga ny fietreny, tsy misy mampionona azy. Jehovah ô, jereo ny fahoriako, fa mirehareha ny fahavalo.
10 Our enemies have taken away all our treasures, all the valuable things that we owned. We have seen [soldiers from other] nations, [men who do not worship Yahweh], enter our sacred temple, [the place] where foreigners/non-Israelis were (forbidden/not allowed) to enter.
Ny fahavalo naninjitra ny tànany naka ny zava-tsoany rehetra; Fa ny jentilisa, izay noraranao tsy hiditra amin’ ny fiangonanao, dia hitany tafiditra ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna.
11 The people of the city groan while they search for food; they have given their treasures to get food [to eat] to remain alive. [They say], “Yahweh, look [at us], and see that we are despised!”
Misento ny olony rehetra, mitady hanina; Eny, atakalony hanina ny zava-tsoany hamelombelona ny ainy; Jehovah ô, jereo ka diniho, fa vingavingaina aho.
12 You people who pass by, you do not [RHQ] seem to care at all [about what has happened to us]. Look around and see that there are no other [RHQ] people who are suffering like we are. Yahweh has caused us to suffer because he was extremely angry [with us].
Moa tsy mampaninona anareo va, ry mpandalo rehetra? Jereo sy izahao raha mba misy fahoriana toy ny fahoriako, izay namelezany ahy, dia ilay nampahorian’ i Jehovah ahy tamin’ ny andro firehetan’ ny fahatezerany.
13 [It is as though] he sent a fire from heaven [MTY] that burned in our bones; [it is as though] [MET] he has placed a trap for our feet, and has prevented us from walking any further. He has abandoned us; we are weak/miserable [every day], all day long.
Avy tany amin’ ny avo no nandatsahany afo ho amin’ ny taolako handoroany azy; Namela-pandrika harato haningorana ny tongotro Izy ka nampihemotra ahy; Nampahalao sy nampahareraka ahy mandritra ny andro Izy.
14 He caused the sins that we have committed to be [like] a heavy load for us to carry; [it is as though] [MET] he tied them around our necks. Previously we were strong, but he has caused us to become weak. He has allowed our enemies to capture us, and we were not able to do anything to resist them.
Ny ziogan’ ny fahotako nofehezin’ ny tànany; Voaolana ireny ka tonga eo an-katoko; noketrahiny ny heriko; Natolotry ny Tompo ho eo an-tànan izay tsy leoko aho.
15 Yahweh looked at our mighty soldiers and laughed at them. He has summoned a great army to [come and] crush our young soldiers. [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has trampled on [us] people of Judah like [SIM] [people trample] on grapes in a pit [to make wine].
Nataon’ ny Tompo tsinontsinona ny maheriko rehetra; Nanendry fotoana hamelezana ahy Izy, handringanana ny zatovoko; Ny Tompo nanosihosy an’ i Joda zanakavavy virijina toy ny eo amin’ ny famiazam-boaloboka.
16 I weep because of [all] those things; my eyes are filled with tears. There is no one to comfort me; those who could encourage me are far away. Our enemies have conquered [us], so our children have nothing good to (hope for/expect to happen).
Izany zavatra izany no mampitomany ahy; e! ny masoko, ny masoko mamarin-dranomaso, fa lavitra ahy ny mpampionona izay tokony hamelombelona ny fanahiko; Ringana ny zanako, fa mahery ny fahavalo.
17 [We people of] [PRS] Jerusalem reach out our hands [to get help], but there is no one to comfort us. Yahweh has decided concerning [us descendants of] Jacob that the people in nearby nations will become our enemies; so they consider that Jerusalem has become [like] [MET] a filthy rag.
Ziona mananty tanana, nefa tsy misy mampionona azy; Jehovah nandidy ny amin’ i Jakoba mba ho tonga fahavalony ny manodidina azy; Jerosalema dia tonga fahavetavetana eo afovoan’ ireo.
18 But what Yahweh has done [to us] is fair, because we have rebelled against obeying the commands that he gave [us]. You people everywhere, listen [to us]; [look and] see that we are suffering [greatly]. We had [many] sons and daughters, but they have been captured and forced to go to distant countries.
Marina Jehovah, fa efa nandà ny teniny aho; Ry firenena rehetra, masìna ianareo, mba jereo ny fahoriako; Lasan-ko babo ny virijinako sy ny zatovoko.
19 We pleaded with our allies [to help us], but they [all] refused. Our priests and our leaders have died [from hunger] in the city while they were searching for food [to eat] to remain alive.
Nantsoiko ireo tia ahy, fa nofitahiny aho; Ny mpisoroko sy ny loholoko niala aina tao an-tanana, Tamin’ ny nitadiavany hanina hamelombelona ny ainy.
20 Yahweh, see that we are suffering very much. [It is as though] our inner beings are tormented. We are sad [SYN] because we have rebelled [against you]. Our enemies kill people in the streets with their swords; people are dying [because they have no food to eat].
Izahao, Jehovah ô, fa azom-pahoriana aho, mandevilevy ny foko; Miontana ato anatiko ny foko, fa naditra dia naditra aho; Eny ivelany dia ny sabatra no mahafoana anaka, ary ao an-trano dia toa misy fahafatesana kosa.
21 People have heard us while we groaned, but no one [came to] comfort us. [Yahweh, ] you caused us to experience this [disaster], and our enemies are happy to see what you have done [to us]. But cause it soon to be the time that you have promised, when our enemies will suffer like we have suffered!
Reny fa misento aho; tsy misy mampionona ahy; Ny fahavaloko rehetra nandre ny fahoriako, ka faly izy, satria Hianao no nanao izany; Hahatonga izay andro nantsoinao Hianao, ka dia ho tonga tahaka ahy koa ireo.
22 [Yahweh, ] see all the evil things that they have done and punish them! [Punish them] like you have punished us for all the sins that we committed! [We say this to you] because we suffer and groan very much, and we (faint/are very sad).
Aoka ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny faharatsiany rehetra, ary mba ataovy aminy kosa tahaka izay nataonao tamiko noho ny fahotako rehetra; Fa imbetsaka ny fisentoako, ka reraka ny foko.
