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.

Како седи сам, поста као удовица, град који беше пун народа! Велик међу народима, глава међу земљама потпаде под данак!

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].

Једнако плаче ноћу, и сузе су му на образима, нема никога од свих који га љубљаху да га потеши; сви га пријатељи његови изневерише, посташе му непријатељи.

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.

Исели се Јуда од муке и љутог ропства; седи међу народима, не налази мир; сви који га гонише стигоше га у теснацу.

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.

Путеви сионски туже, јер нико не иде на празник; сва су врата његова пуста, свештеници његови уздишу, девојке су његове жалосне, и сам је јадан.

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].

Противници његови посташе глава, непријатељима је његовим добро; јер га Господ уцвели за мноштво безакоња његовог; деца његова иду у ропство пред непријатељем.

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.

И отиде од кћери сионске сва слава њена; кнезови су њени као јелени који не налазе паше; иду немоћни пред оним који их гони.

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.

Опомиње се Јерусалим у муци својој и у јаду свом свих милина што је имао од старине, кад пада народ његов од руке непријатељеве, а никога нема да му помогне; непријатељи гледају га и смеју се престанку његовом.

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].

Тешко сагреши Јерусалим, зато поста као нечиста жена; сви који су га поштовали презиру га, јер видеше голотињу његову; а он уздише, и окреће се натраг.

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!”

Нечистота му беше на скутовима; није мислио на крај свој; пао је за чудо, а нема никога да га потеши. Погледај, Господе, муку моју, јер се непријатељ понео.

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.

Непријатељ посеже руком на све драге ствари његове, и он гледа како народи улазе у светињу његову, за које си заповедио да не долазе на сабор Твој.

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!”

Сав народ његов уздише тражећи хлеба, дају драгоцене ствари своје за јело да окрепе душу. Погледај, Господе, и види како сам поништен.

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].

Зар вам није стало, сви који пролазите овуда? Погледајте и видите, има ли бола какав је мој, који је мени допао, којим ме уцвели Господ у дан жестоког гнева свог.

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.

С висине пусти огањ у кости моје, који их освоји; разапе мрежу ногама мојим, обори ме наузнако, пустоши ме, те по вас дан тужим.

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.

Свезан је руком његовом јарам од греха мојих, усукани су и дођоше ми на врат; обори силу моју; предаде ме Господ у руке, из којих се не могу подигнути.

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].

Полази Господ све јунаке моје усред мене, сазва на ме сабор да потре младиће моје; као грожђе у каци изгази Господ девојку, кћер Јудину.

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).

Зато ја плачем, очи моје, очи моје лију сузе, јер је далеко од мене утешитељ, који би укрепио душу моју; синови моји пропадоше, јер надвлада непријатељ.

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.

Сион шири руке своје, нема никога да га теши; Господ заповеди за Јакова, те га опколише непријатељи; Јерусалим поста међу њима као нечиста жена.

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.

Праведан је Господ, јер се супротих заповести Његовој; чујте, сви народи, и видите бол мој; девојке моје и младићи моји отидоше у ропство.

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.

Звах пријатеље своје, они ме преварише; свештеници моји и старешине моје помреше у граду тражећи хране да окрепе душу своју.

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].

Погледај, Господе, јер ми је туга, утроба ми се усколебала, срце се моје преврће у мени, јер се много супротих; напољу учини ме сиротим мач, а код куће сама смрт.

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!

Чују где уздишем, али нема никога да ме потеши; сви непријатељи моји чуше за несрећу моју и радују се што си то учинио; довешћеш дан који си огласио, те ће они бити као ја.

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).

Нека изађе преда те сва злоћа њихова, и учини као што си учинио мени за све грехе моје; јер је много уздаха мојих и срце је моје жалосно.
