Lamentations 2

1 How has the daughter of Zion been covered with a cloud by the Lord in his wrath! he has sent down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, and has not kept in memory the resting-place of his feet in the day of his wrath.

Indrisy! Ziona zanakavavy dia saronan’ ny Tompo rahona amin’ ny fahatezerany; Nazerany avy tany an-danitra ho amin’ ny tany ny reharehan’ ny Isiraely, Ary tsy tsaroany ny fitoeran-tongony tamin’ ny andro fahatezerany!

2 The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.

Nolevonin’ ny Tompo ny fonenan’ i Jakoba rehetra, fa tsy niantrany; Noravany an-katezerana ny fiarovan’ i Joda zanakavavy ka nazerany tamin’ ny tany, tsy nohamasininy ny fanjakana sy ny mpanapaka,

3 In his burning wrath every horn of Israel has been cut off; his right hand has been turned back before the attacker: he has put a fire in Jacob, causing destruction round about.

Nokapainy tamin’ ny fahatezerany mirehitra ny tandroky ny Isiraely rehetra; Nahemony teo anoloan’ ny fahavalo ny tànany ankavanana; Ary nandoro an’ i Jakoba Izy toy ny lelafo miredareda izay nandevona manodidina.

4 His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.

Nanenjana ny tsipìkany toy ny fahavalo Izy, nijoro naninjitra ny tànany ankavanana toy ny rafilahy Izy ka nandripaka izay rehetra mahafinaritra ny maso; Ny fahatezerany dia naidiny toy ny afo tamin’ ny lain’ i Ziona zanakavavy.

5 The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.

Ny Tompo dia tonga toy ny fahavalo ka nandevona ny Isiraely. Eny, nolevoniny ny lapany rehetra, sady noravany ny fiarovany; Ary nampitomboiny ny fisentoana sy ny fitarainan’ i Joda zanakavavy.

6 And he has violently taken away his tent, as from a garden; he has made waste his meeting-place: the Lord has taken away the memory of feast and Sabbath in Zion, and in the passion of his wrath he is against king and priest.

Ary noravany an-keriny toy ny tanimboly ilay nofefena ho Azy, sady noravany ny trano fihaonany; Nataon’ i Jehovah hadino tao Ziona ny fotoam-pivavahana sy ny Sabata, ka nolaviny tamin’ ny fahatezerany mirehitra ny mpanjaka sy ny mpisorona.

7 The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.

Ny alitarany narian’ ny Tompo, ny fitoerany masìna nolaviny; Natolony ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalo ny mandan’ ny lapa ao Ziona; Nanandratra ny feony tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah toy ny amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana ireny.

8 It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.

Jehovah ninia handrava ny mandan’ i Ziona zanakavavy; Nanenjana ny famolaina Izy ka tsy namonkina ny tanany tsy handrava; dia mampitomany ny fiarovany ivelany sy ny manda Izy, ka miara-dreraka ireo.

9 Her doors have gone down into the earth; he has sent destruction on her locks: her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; even her prophets have had no vision from the Lord.

Ny vavahadiny dia tototry ny tany, nosimbany sy notapatapahiny ny hidiny; Ny mpanjakany sy ny mpanapaka azy efa mby any amin’ ny firenena; Tsy misy lalàna intsony, fa na ny mpaminaniny aza dia tsy mahita fahitana avy amin’ i Jehovah.

10 The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.

Mipetraka amin’ ny tany ny loholon’ i Ziona zanakavavy ka mangìna; Nasiany vovoka ny lohany, misikìna lamba fisaonana izy; Ny virijina any Jerosalema nampitanondrika ny lohany ho amin’ ny tany.

11 My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.

Pahina ny masoko azon’ ny ranomaso, mandevilevy ny foko; Naidina tamin’ ny tany ny atiko noho ny fandringanana ny oloko zanakavavy, sy noho ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono izay ana eny an-kalalahana ao an-tanàna.

12 They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.

Raha ana toy ny voatrobaka eny an-kalalahana ao an-tanana izy, na miala aina eo am-pofoan-dreniny, dia manontany an-dreniny hoe izy: aiza izay vary sy divay?

13 What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?

Inona no hataoko vavolombelona ho anao? Inona no hanoharako anao, ry Jerosalema zanakavavy? Inona no hampitahaiko aminao mba hampiononako anao, ry Ziona zanakavavy virijina? Fa lehibe toy ny ranomasina ny faharatranao, iza no mahasitrana anao?

14 The visions which your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish; they have not made clear to you your sin so that your fate might be changed: but they have seen for you false words, driving you away.

Ny mpaminaninao nahita lainga sy fahadalana ho anao; Ary tsy nampiseho ny helokao mba hiaro anao tsy ho babo; Fa nahita faminaniana lainga sy fampiviliana ho anao izy.

15 All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

Miteha-tanana anao izay rehetra mandalo eny an-dalana; Misitrisitra sy mihifikifi-doha amin’ i Jerosalema zanakavavy izy ka manao hoe: Ity va ilay tanàna nataony hoe Tena fahatsaran-tarehy Fifalian’ ny tany rehetra?

16 All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.

Misanasana vava aminao ny fahavalonao rehetra; Misitrisitra sy mihidy vazana izy ka manao hoe: Efa nolevoninay! Ity tokoa no andro nandrasanay ka efa azonay sady hitanay.

17 The Lord has done that which was his purpose; he has put into force the orders which he gave in the days which are past; pulling down without pity, he has made your hater glad over you, lifting up the horn of those who were against you.

Jehovah efa nanao izay nosaininy ka nahatanteraka ny teniny izay nandidiany hatramin’ ny andro fahagola; Nandrava Izy, fa tsy niantra; Ary nampifaly ny fahavalo taminao Izy sady nanandratra ny tandroky ny rafilahinao.

18 Let your cry go up to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let your weeping be flowing down like a stream day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes keep back the drops of sorrow.

Ny fonao mitaraina amin’ ny Tompo: Ry mandan’ i Ziona zanakavavy! mandrotsaha ranomaso andro aman’ alina toy ny riaka; Aza mangìna, aoka tsy hitsahatra ny anakandriamasonao.

19 Up! give cries in the night, at the starting of the night-watches; let your heart be flowing out like water before the face of the Lord, lifting up your hands to him for the life of your young children who are falling down, feeble for need of food, at the top of every street.

Mitsangàna, miantsoantsoa amin’ ny alina hatramin’ ny filatsahan’ ny fiambenana, Aidino tahaka ny rano eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo ny fonao! Asandrato aminy ny tananao hifona ho an’ ny ain’ ny zanakao madinika, izay anan’ ny hanoanana eny an-joron-dalambe rehetra eny.

20 Look! O Lord, see to whom you have done this! Are the women to take as their food the fruit of their bodies, the children who are folded in their arms? are the priest and the prophet to be put to death in the holy place of the Lord?

Jehovah ô, jereo ka izahao ny amin’ ny olona izay nanaovanao izany. Ny vehivavy va hihinana ny ateraky na kibony, dia ny zanany madinika trotroiny? Hovonoina ao amin’ ny fitoera-masin’ i Jehovah va ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany?

21 The young men and the old are stretched on the earth in the streets; my virgins and my young men have been put to the sword: you have sent death on them in the day of your wrath, causing death without pity.

Miampatrampatra eny an-dalambe ny tanora sy ny antitra; Ny virijinako sy ny zatovoko dia lavon’ ny sabatra, Novonoinao tamin’ ny andro fahatezeranao izy, eny, naripakao, fa tsy niantranao.

22 As in the day of a holy meeting you have made fears come round me on every side, and no one got away or was kept safe in the day of the Lord's wrath: those who were folded in my arms, whom I took care of, have been sent to their destruction by my hater.

Nantsoinao ny fampangorohoroana manodidina ahy, toy ny amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana, ka dia tsy nisy sisa afa-nandositra tamin’ ny andro fahatezeran’ i Jehovah; Izay notrotroiko sy notezaiko aza dia lanin’ ny fahavaloko.
