Álef
[a]1 ¡Cuán solitaria se encuentra
la que fue ciudad populosa!
¡Tiene apariencia de viuda
la que fue grande entre las naciones!
¡Hoy es esclava de las provincias
la que fue gran señora entre ellas!
Bet
2 Amargamente llora por la noche;
corren las lágrimas por sus mejillas.
No hay entre sus amantes
uno solo que la consuele.
Todos sus amigos la traicionaron;
se volvieron sus enemigos.
Guímel
3 En aflicción y con trabajos forzados
Judá marchó al exilio.
Habita entre las naciones
sin encontrar reposo.
Todos sus perseguidores la acosan,
la ponen en aprietos.
Dálet
4 Los caminos a Sión están de duelo;
ya nadie asiste a sus fiestas solemnes.
Las puertas de la ciudad se ven desoladas:
sollozan sus sacerdotes,
se turban sus doncellas,
¡toda ella es amargura!
He
5 Sus enemigos se volvieron sus amos;
tranquilos se ven sus adversarios.
El Señor la ha acongojado
por causa de sus muchos pecados.
Sus hijos marcharon al cautiverio,
arrastrados por sus enemigos.
Vav
6 La hija de Sión ha perdido
todo su esplendor.
Sus príncipes parecen ciervos
que vagan en busca de pastos.
Exhaustos, se dan a la fuga
frente a sus perseguidores.
Zayin
7 Jerusalén trae a la memoria los tristes días de su peregrinaje;
se acuerda de todos los tesoros
que en el pasado fueron suyos.
Cuando su pueblo cayó en manos enemigas
nadie acudió en su ayuda.
Sus enemigos vieron su caída
y se burlaron de ella.
Jet
8 Grave es el pecado de Jerusalén;
por eso se ha vuelto impura.
Los que antes la honraban ahora la desprecian,
pues han visto su desnudez.
Ella misma gime
y no se atreve a dar la cara.
Tet
9 Sus vestidos están llenos de inmundicia;
no tomó en cuenta lo que le esperaba.
Su caída fue sorprendente;
no hubo nadie que la consolara.
«¡Mira, Señor, mi aflicción!
¡El enemigo ha triunfado!».
Yod
10 El enemigo se adueñó
de todos sus tesoros.
Ella vio naciones paganas
entrar en su santuario,
a las que tú prohibiste
entrar en tu asamblea.
Caf
11 Todo su pueblo solloza
y anda en busca de pan;
para mantenerse con vida
cambian por comida sus tesoros.
«¡Mira, Señor, date cuenta
de cómo me han despreciado!».
Lámed
12 «Fíjense ustedes, los que pasan por el camino:
¿Acaso no les importa?
Miren si hay un sufrimiento comparable al mío,
como el que el Señor me ha hecho padecer,
como el que el Señor lanzó sobre mí
en el día de su furor.
Mem
13 »Desde lo alto él envió un fuego
que penetró en mis huesos.
A mi paso tendió una trampa
y me hizo retroceder.
Me abandonó por completo;
a todas horas me sentía desfallecer.
Nun
14 »Mis pecados fueron atados a un yugo;
sus manos los ataron juntos.[b]
Me los ha colgado al cuello,
y ha debilitado mis fuerzas.
Me ha entregado en manos de gente
a la que no puedo ofrecer resistencia.
Sámej
15 »En mi ciudad el Señor ha rechazado
a todos los guerreros.
Convocó un ejército contra mí,
para despedazar[c] a mis jóvenes.
El Señor ha pisado como en un lagar
a la virginal hija de Judá.
Ayin
16 »Todo esto me hace llorar;
mis ojos se inundan de lágrimas.
No tengo cerca a nadie que me consuele;
no tengo a nadie que me reanime.
Mis hijos quedaron abandonados
porque el enemigo salió victorioso».
Pe
17 Sión clama pidiendo ayuda,[d]
pero no hay quien la consuele.
Por decreto del Señor
los vecinos de Jacob son ahora sus enemigos;
Jerusalén ha llegado a ser
inmundicia en medio de ellos.
Tsade
18 «El Señor es justo,
pero yo me rebelé contra su palabra.
Escuchen, todos los pueblos,
y vean mi sufrimiento.
Mis doncellas y mis jóvenes
han marchado al destierro.
Qof
19 »Llamé a mis amantes,
pero ellos me traicionaron.
Mis sacerdotes y mis ancianos
perecieron en la ciudad,
mientras buscaban alimentos
para mantenerse con vida.
Resh
20 »¡Mírame, Señor, que me encuentro angustiada!
¡Siento una profunda agonía![e]
Mi corazón se agita dentro de mí,
pues he sido muy rebelde.
Allá afuera, la espada me deja sin hijos;
dentro de la casa hay ambiente de muerte.
Shin
21 »La gente ha escuchado mi gemir,
pero no hay quien me consuele.
Todos mis enemigos conocen mi pesar
y se alegran de lo que has hecho conmigo.
¡Manda ya tu castigo anunciado,
para que sufran lo que he sufrido!
Tav
22 »¡Que llegue a tu presencia
toda su maldad!
¡Trátalos como me has tratado a mí
por causa de todos mis pecados!
Son muchos mis quejidos,
y mi corazón desfallece».

Lamentations 1

Lamentations 1
World English Bible
1 How the city sits solitary,
that was full of people!
She has become as a widow,
who was great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces
has become a slave!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night.
Her tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers
she has no one to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her.
They have become her enemies.
3 Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction
and because of great servitude.
She dwells among the nations.
She finds no rest.
All her persecutors overtook her in her distress.
4 The roads to Zion mourn,
because no one comes to the solemn assembly.
All her gates are desolate.
Her priests sigh.
Her virgins are afflicted,
and she herself is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries have become the head.
Her enemies prosper;
for Yahweh[a] has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions.
Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
6 All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion.
Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture.
They have gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries
all her pleasant things that were from the days of old;
when her people fell into the hand of the adversary,
and no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her.
They mocked at her desolations.
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned.
Therefore she has become unclean.
All who honored her despise her,
because they have seen her nakedness.
Yes, she sighs and turns backward.
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts.
She didn’t remember her latter end.
Therefore she has come down astoundingly.
She has no comforter.
“See, Yahweh, my affliction;
for the enemy has magnified himself.”
10 The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things;
for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary,
concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
11 All her people sigh.
They seek bread.
They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul.
“Look, Yahweh, and see,
for I have become despised.”
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
which is brought on me,
with which Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 “From on high has he sent fire into my bones,
and it prevails against them.
He has spread a net for my feet.
He has turned me back.
He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.
14 “The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand.
They are knit together.
They have come up on my neck.
He made my strength fail.
The Lord[b] has delivered me into their hands,
against whom I am not able to stand.
15 “The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men within me.
He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men.
The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a wine press.
16 “For these things I weep.
My eye, my eye runs down with water,
because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me.
My children are desolate,
because the enemy has prevailed.”
17 Zion spreads out her hands.
There is no one to comfort her.
Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob,
that those who are around him should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
18 “Yahweh is righteous,
for I have rebelled against his commandment.
Please hear all you peoples,
and see my sorrow.
My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
19 “I called for my lovers,
but they deceived me.
My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city,
while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
20 “Look, Yahweh; for I am in distress.
My heart is troubled.
My heart turns over within me,
for I have grievously rebelled.
Abroad, the sword bereaves.
At home, it is like death.
21 “They have heard that I sigh.
There is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble.
They are glad that you have done it.
You will bring the day that you have proclaimed,
and they will be like me.
22 “Let all their wickedness come before you.
Do to them as you have done to me for all my transgressions.
For my sighs are many,
and my heart is faint.

Jerusalems sorg och ödeläggelse
Alef
1 Hur övergiven sitter hon inte, den folkrika staden!
Hon har blivit lik en änka.
Hon som var så mäktig bland folken,
en furstinna bland länderna,
hon måste nu göra slavtjänst.
Beth
2 Bittert gråter hon i natten,
tårar rinner utför hennes kind.
Bland alla hennes älskare
finns ingen som tröstar henne.
Alla hennes vänner har svikit henne,
de har blivit hennes fiender.
Gimel
3 Juda har gått i landsflykt
på grund av förtryck
och svår träldom.
Hon bor nu bland hednafolken,
hon finner ingen ro.
Alla hennes förföljare har överfallit henne
mitt i hennes nöd.
Daleth
4 Vägarna till Sion sörjer,
ty ingen kommer längre till högtiderna.
Alla hennes portar är öde,
hennes präster suckar.
Hennes jungfrur är bedrövade,
och själv sörjer hon bittert.
He
5 Hennes ovänner har makten,
hennes fiender känner sig säkra.
Ty Herren har bedrövat henne
för hennes många synders skull.
Hennes barn har vandrat bort
som fångar framför fienden.
Waw
6 All prakt har försvunnit
från dottern Sion.
Hennes furstar liknar hjortar,
som inte finner bete.
De vandrar kraftlösa
framför förföljaren.
Zajin
7 I sin nöd och hemlöshet
kommer Jerusalem ihåg
allt vad dyrbart hon ägde
i forna dagar.
Nu, då hennes folk har fallit för ovännens hand
och ingen kommer till hennes hjälp,
ser hennes ovänner med hån på hennes undergång.
Heth
8 Svårt har Jerusalem syndat,
därför ses hon som oren.
Alla som ärade henne föraktar henne,
ty de ser hennes nakenhet.
Själv suckar hon
och vänder sig bort.
Teth
9 Orenhet fläckar fållen på hennes kläder,
hon tänkte inte på vad slutet skulle bli.
Hon har sjunkit ofattbart djupt
och ingen finns som tröstar henne.
O, Herre, se mitt betryck,
ty fienden förhäver sig.
Jod
10 Ovännen har räckt ut sin hand
efter allt dyrbart hon ägde.
Hon har sett hur hedningar
går in i hennes helgedom,
sådana som du har förbjudit
att komma in i din församling.
Kaf
11 Allt hennes folk suckar
och söker efter bröd.
De ger sina dyrbarheter för mat
för att hålla sig vid liv.
Se, o Herre, och ge akt på
hur föraktad jag har blivit.
Lamed
12 Betyder det ingenting för alla er som går vägen förbi?
Ge akt på detta och se:
Kan någon plåga vara lik den plåga
som drabbat mig,
den som Herren låtit mig lida
på sin brinnande vredes dag?
Mem
13 Från höjden har han sänt en eld
in i mina ben och kuvat dem.
Han bredde ut ett nät för mina fötter,
han stötte mig tillbaka.
Han har lämnat mig övergiven
och sjuk hela dagen.
Nun
14 Till ett ok knöts mina synder samman,
av hans hand vävdes de ihop,
de har lagts över min nacke.
Han har brutit ner min kraft.
Herren har lämnat mig i händerna på dem
som jag inte kan stå emot.
Samek
15 Alla de hjältar som fanns hos mig
har Herren förkastat.
Han kallade samman ett uppbåd mot mig
för att krossa mina unga män.
Som en vinpress har Herren trampat
jungfrun, dottern Juda.
Ajin
16 Därför gråter jag,
mina ögon flödar av tårar.
Ty fjärran ifrån mig är den som kan trösta mig
och vederkvicka min själ.
Mina barn är övergivna,
ty fienden har blivit mig övermäktig.
Pe
17 Sion räcker ut sina händer,
men ingen finns som tröstar henne.
Mot Jakob har Herren bådat upp
hans ovänner från alla håll,
Jerusalem har blivit
som något orent ibland dem.
Tsade
18 Herren är rättfärdig,
men jag var upprorisk mot hans bud.
Hör då, alla ni folk,
och se min plåga!
Mina jungfrur och unga män
har gått i fångenskap.
Qof
19 Jag kallade på mina älskare,
men de svek mig.
Mina präster och mina äldste
omkom i staden,
medan de letade efter mat
för att hålla sig vid liv.
Resh
20 Se, Herre, hur jag är i nöd!
Det jäser i mitt innersta,
mitt hjärta vänder sig i mitt bröst,
ty jag har varit mycket upprorisk.
Ute gör svärdet mig barnlös,
inomhus finns endast död.
Shin
21 Man hör hur jag suckar,
men ingen finns som tröstar mig.
Alla mina fiender har hört om min olycka
och gläder sig över att du har gjort detta.
Den dag du har förkunnat har du låtit komma,
men det skall gå dem som mig.
Taw
22 Låt all deras ondska komma inför ditt ansikte
och gör med dem
så som du har gjort med mig
för alla mina synder.
Ty många är mina suckar,
och mitt hjärta är sjukt.
Lamentations 1
King James Version
Lamentations 1
King James Version
1 How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
2 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O Lord, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider; for I am become vile.
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
16 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
18 The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
20 Behold, O Lord; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.
21 They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
22 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
