A humilhação de Jerusalém. Os pecados e aflições do povo
Álefe.
1 Como se acha solitária aquela cidade dantes tão populosa! Tornou-se como viúva a que foi grande entre as nações; e princesa entre as províncias tornou-se tributária!
Bete.
2 Continuamente chora de noite, e as suas lágrimas correm pelas suas faces; não tem quem a console entre todos os seus amadores; todos os seus amigos se houveram aleivosamente com ela, tornaram-se seus inimigos.
Guímel.
3 Judá passou ao cativeiro por causa da aflição e por causa da grandeza da sua servidão; habita entre as nações, não acha descanso; todos os seus perseguidores a surpreenderam nas suas angústias.
Dálete.
4 Os caminhos de Sião pranteiam, porque não há quem venha à reunião solene; todas as suas portas estão desoladas; os seus sacerdotes suspiram; as suas virgens estão tristes, e ela mesma tem amargura.
Hê.
5 Os seus adversários a dominaram, os seus inimigos prosperam; porque o Senhor a entristeceu, por causa da multidão das suas prevaricações; os seus filhinhos vão em cativeiro na frente do adversário.
Vau.
6 E da filha de Sião foi-se toda a sua glória; os seus príncipes ficaram sendo como corços que não acham pasto e caminham sem força na frente do perseguidor.
Zain.
7 Lembra-se Jerusalém, nos dias da sua aflição e das suas rebeliões, de todas as suas mais queridas coisas, que tivera dos tempos antigos; quando caía o seu povo na mão do adversário, e ela não tinha quem a socorresse, os adversários a viram e fizeram escárnio da sua queda.
Hete.
8 Jerusalém gravemente pecou; por isso, se fez instável; todos os que a honravam a desprezaram, porque viram a sua nudez; ela também suspirou e voltou para trás.
Tete.
9 A sua imundícia está nas suas saias, nunca se lembrou do seu fim; por isso, foi pasmosamente abatida, não tem consolador. Vê, Senhor, a minha aflição, porque o inimigo se engrandece.
Jode.
10 Estendeu o adversário a sua mão a todas as coisas mais preciosas dela; pois viu entrar no seu santuário as nações acerca das quais mandaste que não entrassem na tua congregação.
Cafe.
11 Todo o seu povo anda suspirando, buscando o pão; deram as suas coisas mais preciosas a troco de mantimento para refrescarem a alma; vê, Senhor, e contempla, pois me tornei desprezível.
Lâmede.
12 Não vos comove isso, a todos vós que passais pelo caminho? Atendei e vede se há dor como a minha dor, que veio sobre mim, com que me entristeceu o Senhor, no dia do furor da sua ira.
Mem.
13 Desde o alto enviou fogo a meus ossos, o qual se assenhoreou deles; estendeu uma rede aos meus pés, fez-me voltar para trás, fez-me assolada e enferma todo o dia.
Nun.
14 Já o jugo das minhas prevaricações está atado pela sua mão; elas estão entretecidas, subiram sobre o meu pescoço, e ele abateu a minha força; entregou-me o Senhor na suas mãos, e eu não posso levantar-me.
Sâmeque.
15 O Senhor atropelou todos os meus valentes no meio de mim; apregoou contra mim um ajuntamento, para quebrantar os meus jovens; o Senhor pisou, como em um lagar, a virgem filha de Judá.
Ain.
16 Por essas coisas, choro eu; os meus olhos, os meus olhos se desfazem em águas; porque se afastou de mim o consolador que devia restaurar a minha alma; os meus filhos estão desolados, porque prevaleceu o inimigo.
Pê.
17 Estende Sião as suas mãos, não há quem a console; mandou o Senhor acerca de Jacó que fossem inimigos os que estão em redor dele; Jerusalém é para eles como uma coisa imunda.
Tsadê.
18 Justo é o Senhor, pois me rebelei contra os seus mandamentos; ouvi, pois, todos os povos e vede a minha dor; as minhas virgens e os meus jovens se foram para o cativeiro.
Cofe.
19 Chamei os meus amadores, mas eles me enganaram; os meus sacerdotes e os meus anciãos expiraram na cidade, enquanto buscavam para si mantimento, para refrescarem a sua alma.
Rexe.
20 Olha, Senhor, quanto estou angustiada; turbada está a minha alma, o meu coração está transtornado no meio de mim, porque gravemente me rebelei; fora, me desfilhou a espada, dentro de mim está a morte.
Chim.
21 Ouvem que eu suspiro, mas não tenho quem me console; todos os meus inimigos que souberam do meu mal folgam, porque tu o determinaste; mas, em trazendo tu o dia que apregoaste, serão como eu.
Tau.
22 Venha toda a sua iniquidade à tua presença, e faze-lhes como me fizeste a mim por causa de todas as minhas prevaricações; porque os meus suspiros são muitos, e o meu coração está desfalecido.

The Desolate City
1 How desolate the city sits
that was full of people!
She has become like a widow,
once great among the nations!
Like a woman of nobility in the provinces,
she has become a forced laborer.
2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
her tears are on her cheeks;
she has no comforter
among all her lovers.
All her friends have been unfaithful to her;
they have become her enemies.
3 Judah has gone into exile with misery
and under hard servitude;
she lives among the nations,
she has not found a resting place;
all her pursuers have overtaken her
amidst her distress.
4 The roads of Zion are mourning
because no one comes to the festival.
All her gates are desolate,
her priests groan;
her young women are worried,
and she herself suffers bitterly.
5 Her foes have become her master,[a]
her enemies are at ease;
Yahweh has made her suffer
because of the greatness of her transgressions.
Her children have gone away,
captive before the foe.
6 All her majesty has gone away
from the daughter of Zion;
her princes have become like young stags
that have not found pasture;
they have gone away without strength,
before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembers
the days of her misery and wanderings,
all her treasures
that were from the days of long ago.
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
there was no one helping her;
the enemies saw her, they mocked
at her destruction.
8 Jerusalem sinned grievously,
thus she became an objection of derision;
all those who honored her despise her
because they have seen her nakedness.
She herself groans
and turns away.
9 Her uncleanness was in her skirts;
she did not remember her future,
she has descended beyond understanding,
there is no comforter for her.
See, O Yahweh, my persecution!
My enemy has been made great!
10 The enemy has stretched out his hand
over all her treasures;
for she has seen the nations,
they entered her sanctuary,
those whom you commanded not to enter
in your assembly.
11 All her people groan,
they are searching for bread.
They give their treasures for food,
to bring back life.
See, O Yahweh, and look,
how I am despised.
12 Is it nothing to you, all who pass by?[b]
Look and see
if there is sorrow like my sorrow,[c]
which was dealt to me,
which Yahweh inflicted
on the day of his wrath.[d]
13 From heaven he sent fire,
into my bones he let it descend.
He spread out a net for my feet;
he turned me back,
he gave me devastation,
fainting all day.
14 My rebellion was bound as a yoke,
with his hand it was fastened together;
it was put on my neck
and caused my strength to fail.
The Lord gave me into the hands
of those whom I cannot withstand.
15 The Lord has rejected
all my mighty ones in my midst.
He called an assembly against me,
to crush my young men;
like in a wine press,
the Lord has trodden on
the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 For these things, I am weeping,
my eyes flow with tears;[e]
because a comforter is far from me,
one to restore my life.
My sons are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Zion stretches out her hands;
there is no one to comfort her.
Yahweh has commanded against Jacob,
that those surrounding him[f] should be his enemies;
Jerusalem has become
a defilement among them.
18 Yahweh is righteous;
I have rebelled against his word.[g]
Please hear, all the nations,
And see my pain;
My young women[h] and young men
went into captivity.
19 I have called to my lovers,
they themselves deceived me;
my priests and elders perished in the city
when they sought food for themselves
to revive their life.[i]
20 See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress;[j]
my stomach[k] is in torment,
my heart has turned inside me
because I have certainly rebelled.
From outside a sword brings bereavement,
inside the house it is like death.
21 They hear that I was groaning;
there is no comforter for me.
All my enemies have heard my misery,
they are pleased that you have done it.
Bring that day that you have proclaimed,[l]
And let them be like me.
22 Let all their evil come before you;
and deal with them
just as you have dealt with me
because of all my crimes;
for my groaning is much and my heart is faint.

enter her sanctuary(AG)—
those you had forbidden(AH)

as they search for bread;(AJ)
they barter their treasures for food
to keep themselves alive.

sent it down into my bones.(AN)
He spread a net(AO) for my feet
and turned me back.
He made me desolate,(AP)
