Lamentations 2
1 Aleph. Hou hath the Lord hilid the douyter of Sion with derknesse in his strong veniaunce? he hath caste doun fro heuene in to erthe the noble citee of Israel; and bithouyte not on the stool of hise feet, in the dai of his strong veniaunce.
Bondye sèl Mèt la fè kòlè, li voye yon gwo nwaj nwa kouvri lavil Jerizalèm. Tou sa ki te fè respè pèp Izrayèl la, li kraze l' anba pye l'. Jou li fè kòlè a, ata tanp kote li poze pye l' la, li pa chonje l'.
2 Beth. The Lord castide doun, and sparide not alle the faire thingis of Jacob; he distried in his strong veniaunce the strengthis of the virgyn of Juda, and castide doun in to erthe; he defoulide the rewme, and the princes therof.
Bondye sèl Mèt la te san pitye, li devaste dènye jaden moun fanmi Jakòb yo. Li fè yon sèl kòlè, li kraze tout fò ki te pwoteje peyi Jida a. Li trennen gouvènman an ansanm ak tout chèf yo nan labou. Li fè yo wont.
3 Gymel. He brak in the ire of his strong veniaunce al the horn of Israel; he turnede a bak his riyt hond fro the face of the enemy; and he kyndlide in Jacob, as fier of flawme deuowrynge in cumpas.
Nan gwo kòlè li, li kraze tout fòs kouraj pèp Izrayèl la. Li derefize ede nou lè lènmi atake nou. Li move sou nou, li te tankou yon dife k'ap boule dènye bagay alawonn.
4 Deleth. He as an enemye bente his bouwe, he as an aduersarie made stidfast his riyt hond; and he killide al thing that was fair in siyt in the tabernacle of the douytir of Sion; he schedde out his indignacioun as fier.
Li atake nou, li tonbe sou nou tankou yon lènmi. Li touye tou sa ki te fè plezi ak kontantman nou. Jouk anndan lakay nou, li fè nou santi jan li move sou nou.
5 He. The Lord is maad as an enemy; he castide doun Israel, he castide doun alle the wallis therof; he destriede the strengthis therof, and fillide in the douyter of Juda a man maad low, and a womman maad low.
Tankou yon lènmi, Bondye sèl Mèt la fini ak pèp Izrayèl la. Li kraze dènye gwo kay li yo, li detwi tout fò li yo. Li fè moun peyi Jida yo rete ap plenn sou plenn.
6 Vau. And he scateride his tent as a gardyn, he distried his tabernacle; the Lord yaf to foryetyng in Sion a feeste dai, and sabat; and the kyng and prest in to schenschipe, and in to the indignacioun of his strong veniaunce.
Li fè tanp lan tounen tankou yon jaden vòlò devaste. Li kraze kote li konn gen randevou ak pèp la. Li fè sispann tout jou fèt, tout jou repo sou mòn Siyon an. Li move ata sou wa ak prèt yo. Yo tout pase anba men l'.
7 Zai. The Lord puttide awei his auter, he curside his halewyng; he bitook in to the hondis of enemy the wallis of the touris therof; thei yauen vois in the hous of the Lord, as in a solempne dai.
Bondye sèl Mèt la voye lotèl li a jete. Li pa vle wè kay yo te mete apa pou li a. Li kite lènmi yo kraze miray gwo kay yo. Lènmi yo fè fèt, yo rele byen fò nan kay Seyè a tankou lè n'ap fè seremoni pou li.
8 Heth. The Lord thouyte to distrie the wal of the douyter of Sion; he stretchide forth his coorde, and turnede not awei his hond fro perdicioun; the forwal, ether the outerward, mourenyde, and the wal was distried togidere.
Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, te soti pou l' kraze miray lavil Siyon an. Li fè plan pou lè l' kraze l', li kraze l' nèt. Miray fò yo ak miray ranpa yo tonbe, yo kraze ansanm.
9 Teth. The yatis therof ben piyt in the erthe, he loste and al to-brak the barris therof; the kyng therof and the princes therof among hethene men; the lawe is not, and the profetis therof founden not of the Lord a visioun.
Pòtay yo atè kouvri anba fatra. Ba pòtay yo kase, yo pa ka sèvi ankò. Yo depòte wa a ak chèf yo nan peyi etranje. Pa gen pesonn pou moutre sa ki nan lalwa. Menm pwofèt yo, Bondye pa pale ak yo nan vizyon ankò.
10 Joth. Thei saten in erthe, the elde men of the douytir of Sion weren stille; thei bispreynten her heedis with aische, the eldere men of Juda ben girt with hairis; the virgyns of Juda castiden doun to erthe her heedis.
Chèf fanmi lavil Jerizalèm yo chita atè, men nan machwè! Yo nan gwo lapenn, yo voye pousyè sou tèt yo, yo mete rad sak sou yo. Jenn fi yo menm rete tèt bese.
11 Caph. Myn iyen failiden for teeris, myn entrails weren disturblid; my mawe was sched out in erthe on the sorewe of the douyter of my puple; whanne a litil child and soukynge failide in the stretis of the citee.
Je m' wouj afòs mwen kriye. Kè m' sere. M' pèdi kouraj lè m' wè jan pèp mwen an ap fini, jan timoun yo ak ti bebe yo ap tonbe endispoze nan mitan lari kapital la.
12 Lameth. Thei seiden to her modris, Where is wheete, and wyn? whanne thei failiden as woundid men in the stretis of the citee; whanne thei senten out her soulis in the bosum of her modris.
Y'ap rele manman yo, Y'ap kriye pou pen ak dlo sikre. Yo tonbe san konesans nan lari a tankou moun ki blese, yo mouri nan bra manman yo.
13 Men. To whom schal Y comparisoun thee? ether to whom schal Y licne thee, thou douyter of Jerusalem? to whom schal Y make thee euene, and schal Y coumforte thee, thou virgyn, the douyter of Sion? for whi thi sorewe is greet as the see; who schal do medicyn to thee?
Aa! Jerizalèm, kisa pou m' di ou la a! Ak ki moun pou m' ta konpare sò ou? Ki jan pou m' ankouraje ou? Pesonn pa janm soufri konsa. Malè ki tonbe sou ou a pa gen limit, li gwosè lanmè a! Pesonn pa ka fè anyen pou ou ankò!
14 Nun. Thi profetis sien to thee false thingis, and fonned; and openyden not thi wickidnesse, that thei schulden stire thee to penaunce; but thei sien to thee false takyngis, and castyngis out.
Pwofèt yo pa wè anyen pou yo di ou pase manti ak radòt. Yo kase fèy kouvri peche ou yo pou ou. Yo fè ou pèdi chans ou te gen pou ou te kanpe ankò a. Yo pa wè anyen pou yo di ou. Y'ap ba ou manti, y'ap pete ou.
15 Sameth. Alle men passynge on the weie flappiden with hondis on thee; thei hissiden, and mouyden her heed on the douyter of Jerusalem; and seiden, This is the citee of perfit fairnesse, the ioie of al erthe.
Tout moun sou granchemen an ap rele chalbari dèyè ou. Y'ap lonje dwèt sou ou, y'ap pase lavil Jerizalèm nan rizib. Y'ap ri, y'ap di: -Men lavil yo t'ap di pa gen pi bèl pase l' la wi! Se lavil sa a wi ki te fè kè tout moun bat pou li a!
16 Ayn. Alle thin enemyes openyden her mouth on thee; thei hissiden, and gnaistiden with her teeth, and seiden, We schulen deuoure; lo! this is the dai which we abididen, we founden, we sien.
Tout lènmi ou yo ap pale ou mal byen fò. Y'ap rele chalbari dèyè ou. Y'ap lonje bouch yo sou ou. Y'ap di: -Nou fini avè l'! Men jou nou t'ap tann lan! Nou jwenn li jòdi a!
17 Phe. The Lord dide tho thingis whiche he thouyte, he fillide hise word which he hadde comaundid fro elde daies; he distriede, and sparide not; and made glad the enemy on thee, and enhaunside the horn of thin enemyes.
Seyè a fè sa li te di li t'ap fè a. Li kenbe pawòl li te di depi nan tan lontan an. Li kraze san gade dèyè. Li fè lènmi nou yo genyen batay la sou nou. Li fè yo kontan wè jan nou fini.
18 Sade. The herte of hem criede to the Lord, on the wallis of the douyter of Syon; leede thou forth teeris as a stronde, bi dai and niyt; yyue thou not reste to thee, nether the appil of thin iye be stille.
Jerizalèm, ou mèt kite miray ou yo rele nan pye Seyè a. Kite dlo koule nan je ou tankou larivyè, lajounen kou lannwit! Pa pran kanpo menm! Pa kite dlo nan je ou cheche!
19 Coph. Rise thou togidere, herie thou in the nyyt, in the begynnyng of wakyngis; schede out thin herte as watir, bifore the siyt of the Lord; reise thin hondis to hym for the soulis of thi litle children, that failiden for hungur in the heed of alle meetyngis of weies.
Leve nan mitan lannwit, chak fwa kòk chante, rele nan pye Bondye! Louvri kè ou bay Bondye sèl Mèt la. Mande l' gras mizèrikòd pou ti pitit ou yo, k'ap mouri grangou nan chak kalfou!
20 Res. Se thou, Lord, and byholde, whom thou hast maad so bare; therfor whether wymmen schulen ete her fruyt, litle children at the mesure of an hond? for a prest and profete is slayn in the seyntuarie of the Lord.
Gade non, Seyè! Manyè wè ki moun w'ap matirize konsa! Manman ap manje pitit ki sot nan vant yo, pitit yo renmen anpil yo. Y'ap touye prèt yo ak pwofèt yo nan kote ki apa pou Bondye sèl Mèt la, nan tanp lan.
21 Syn. A child and an elde man laien on the erthe withoutforth; my virgyns and my yonge men fellen doun bi swerd; thou hast slayn hem in the dai of thi strong veniaunce, thou smotist `and didist no merci.
Jenn gason kou granmoun mouri atè nan mitan lari. Jenn tifi yo ak jenn tigason yo mouri nan lagè! Jou ou fè kòlè a, ou touye moun, ou kraze moun san gad dèyè.
22 Thau. Thou clepidist, as to a solempne dai, hem that maden me aferd of cumpas; and noon was that ascapide in the dai of the strong veniaunce of the Lord, and was left; myn enemy wastide hem, whiche Y fedde, and nurschide up.
Ou fè moun k'ap fè m' pè yo soti toupatou pou yo vin danse, fè fèt sou do m'. Lè Seyè a move, pesonn pa ka chape, tout moun gen pou mouri. Lènmi m' yo touye ata timoun mwen te renmen yo, timoun mwen te elve yo.
