Dios Habla Hoy
2 ¡Tan grande ha sido el enojo del Señor,
que ha oscurecido a la bella Sión!
Ha derribado la hermosura de Israel,
como del cielo a la tierra;
ni siquiera se acordó, en su enojo,
del estrado de sus pies.
2 El Señor no ha dejado en pie
ni una sola de las casas de Jacob;
en un momento de furor ha destruido
las fortalezas de la bella Judá;
ha echado por tierra, humillados,
al reino y sus gobernantes.
3 Al encenderse su enojo, cortó de un tajo
todo el poder de Israel.
Nos retiró el apoyo de su poder
al enfrentarnos con el enemigo;
¡ha prendido en Jacob un fuego
que devora todo lo que encuentra!
4 El Señor, como un enemigo,
tensó el arco, afirmó el brazo;
igual que un adversario,
destrozó lo que era agradable a la vista;
como un fuego, lanzó su enojo
sobre el campamento de la bella Sión.
5 El Señor actuó como un enemigo:
destruyó por completo a Israel;
derrumbó todos sus palacios,
derribó sus fortalezas,
colmó a la bella Judá
de aflicción tras aflicción.
6 Como un ladrón, hizo violencia a su santuario;
destruyó el lugar de las reuniones.
El Señor hizo que en Sión se olvidaran
las fiestas y los sábados.
En el ardor de su enojo,
rechazó al rey y al sacerdote.
7 El Señor ha rechazado su altar,
ha despreciado su santuario;
ha entregado en poder del enemigo
las murallas que protegían la ciudad.
¡Hay un griterío en el templo del Señor,
como si fuera día de fiesta!
8 El Señor decidió derrumbar
las murallas de la bella Sión.
Trazó el plan de destrucción
y lo llevó a cabo sin descanso.
Paredes y murallas, que él ha envuelto en luto,
se han venido abajo al mismo tiempo.
9 La ciudad no tiene puertas ni cerrojos:
¡quedaron destrozados, tirados por el suelo!
Su rey y sus gobernantes están entre paganos;
ya no existe la ley de Dios.
¡Ni siquiera sus profetas tienen
visiones de parte del Señor!
10 Los ancianos de la bella Sión
se sientan silenciosos en el suelo,
se echan polvo sobre la cabeza
y se visten de ropas burdas.
Las jóvenes de Jerusalén
agachan la cabeza hasta el suelo.
11 El llanto acaba con mis ojos,
y siento que el pecho me revienta;
mi ánimo se ha venido al suelo
al ver destruida la ciudad de mi gente,
al ver que hasta los niños de pecho
mueren de hambre por las calles.
12 Decían los niños a sus madres:
«¡Ya no tenemos pan ni vino!»
Y caían como heridos de muerte
por las calles de la ciudad,
exhalando el último suspiro
en brazos de sus madres.
13 ¿A qué te puedo comparar o asemejar,
hermosa Jerusalén?
¿Qué ejemplo puedo poner para consolarte,
pura y bella ciudad de Sión?
Enorme como el mar ha sido tu destrucción;
¿quién podrá darte alivio?
14 Las visiones que tus profetas te anunciaron
no eran más que un vil engaño.
No pusieron tu pecado al descubierto
para hacer cambiar tu suerte;
te anunciaron visiones engañosas,
y te hicieron creer en ellas.
15 Al verte, los que van por el camino
aplauden en son de burla;
silban y mueven burlones la cabeza,
diciendo de la bella Jerusalén:
«¿Y es ésta la ciudad a la que llaman
la máxima belleza de la tierra?»
16 Todos tus enemigos
abren la boca en contra tuya.
Entre silbidos y gestos de amenaza, dicen:
«La hemos arruinado por completo.
Éste es el día que tanto esperábamos;
¡por fin pudimos verlo!»
17 El Señor llevó a cabo sus planes,
cumplió su palabra.
Destruyó sin miramientos
lo que mucho antes había resuelto destruir,
permitió que el enemigo se riera de ti
y puso en alto el poder del adversario.
18 ¡Pídele ayuda al Señor,
bella ciudad de Sión!
¡Deja correr de día y de noche
el torrente de tus lágrimas!
¡No dejes de llorar,
no des reposo a tus ojos!
19 Levántate, grita por las noches,
grita hora tras hora;
vacía tu corazón delante del Señor,
déjalo que corra como el agua;
dirige a él tus manos suplicantes
y ruega por la vida de tus niños,
que en las esquinas de las calles
mueren por falta de alimentos.
20 Mira, Señor, ponte a pensar
que nunca a nadie has tratado así.
¿Tendrán acaso las madres
que comerse a sus niños de pecho?
¿Tendrán los sacerdotes y profetas
que ser asesinados en tu santuario?
21 Tendidos por las calles
se ven jóvenes y ancianos;
mis jóvenes y jovencitas
cayeron a filo de espada.
En el día de tu ira, heriste de muerte,
¡mataste sin miramientos!
22 Has hecho venir peligros de todos lados,
como si acudieran a una fiesta;
en el día de tu ira, Señor,
no hubo nadie que escapara.
A los que yo crié y eduqué,
el enemigo los mató.
Lamentations 2

New International Version
2 [a]How the Lord has covered Daughter Zion
with the cloud of his anger[b]!(A)
He has hurled down the splendor of Israel
from heaven to earth;
he has not remembered his footstool(B)
in the day of his anger.(C)
2 Without pity(D) the Lord has swallowed(E) up
all the dwellings of Jacob;
in his wrath he has torn down
the strongholds(F) of Daughter Judah.
He has brought her kingdom and its princes
down to the ground(G) in dishonor.
3 In fierce anger he has cut off
every horn[c][d](H) of Israel.
He has withdrawn his right hand(I)
at the approach of the enemy.
He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire
that consumes everything around it.(J)
4 Like an enemy he has strung his bow;(K)
his right hand is ready.
Like a foe he has slain
all who were pleasing to the eye;(L)
he has poured out his wrath(M) like fire(N)
on the tent(O) of Daughter Zion.
5 The Lord is like an enemy;(P)
he has swallowed up Israel.
He has swallowed up all her palaces
and destroyed her strongholds.(Q)
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation(R)
for Daughter Judah.(S)
6 He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;
he has destroyed(T) his place of meeting.(U)
The Lord has made Zion forget
her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths;(V)
in his fierce anger he has spurned
both king and priest.(W)
7 The Lord has rejected his altar
and abandoned his sanctuary.(X)
He has given the walls of her palaces(Y)
into the hands of the enemy;
they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
as on the day of an appointed festival.(Z)
8 The Lord determined to tear down
the wall around Daughter Zion.(AA)
He stretched out a measuring line(AB)
and did not withhold his hand from destroying.
He made ramparts(AC) and walls lament;
together they wasted away.(AD)
9 Her gates(AE) have sunk into the ground;
their bars(AF) he has broken and destroyed.
Her king and her princes are exiled(AG) among the nations,
the law(AH) is no more,
and her prophets(AI) no longer find
visions(AJ) from the Lord.
10 The elders of Daughter Zion
sit on the ground in silence;(AK)
they have sprinkled dust(AL) on their heads(AM)
and put on sackcloth.(AN)
The young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.(AO)
11 My eyes fail from weeping,(AP)
I am in torment within(AQ);
my heart(AR) is poured out(AS) on the ground
because my people are destroyed,(AT)
because children and infants faint(AU)
in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers,
“Where is bread and wine?”(AV)
as they faint like the wounded
in the streets of the city,
as their lives ebb away(AW)
in their mothers’ arms.(AX)
13 What can I say for you?(AY)
With what can I compare you,
Daughter(AZ) Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you,
that I may comfort you,
Virgin Daughter Zion?(BA)
Your wound is as deep as the sea.(BB)
Who can heal you?
14 The visions of your prophets
were false(BC) and worthless;
they did not expose your sin
to ward off your captivity.(BD)
The prophecies they gave you
were false and misleading.(BE)
15 All who pass your way
clap their hands at you;(BF)
they scoff(BG) and shake their heads(BH)
at Daughter Jerusalem:(BI)
“Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,(BJ)
the joy of the whole earth?”(BK)
16 All your enemies open their mouths
wide against you;(BL)
they scoff and gnash their teeth(BM)
and say, “We have swallowed her up.(BN)
This is the day we have waited for;
we have lived to see it.”(BO)
17 The Lord has done what he planned;
he has fulfilled(BP) his word,
which he decreed long ago.(BQ)
He has overthrown you without pity,(BR)
he has let the enemy gloat over you,(BS)
he has exalted the horn[e] of your foes.(BT)
18 The hearts of the people
cry out to the Lord.(BU)
You walls of Daughter Zion,(BV)
let your tears(BW) flow like a river
day and night;(BX)
give yourself no relief,
your eyes no rest.(BY)
19 Arise, cry out in the night,
as the watches of the night begin;
pour out your heart(BZ) like water
in the presence of the Lord.(CA)
Lift up your hands(CB) to him
for the lives of your children,
who faint(CC) from hunger
at every street corner.
20 “Look, Lord, and consider:
Whom have you ever treated like this?
Should women eat their offspring,(CD)
the children they have cared for?(CE)
Should priest and prophet be killed(CF)
in the sanctuary of the Lord?(CG)

King James Version
2 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.
22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

Guds vrede över synden
2 Herren har förmörkat Jerusalem med sin vrede. Israels vackraste stad ligger i ruiner. Han skonade inte ens sitt tempel på sin vredes dag.
2 Utan förbarmande har Herren förstört varje hus i Israel. I sin ilska har han brutit ner varje fästning och varje mur. Han har slagit kungariket med alla dess furstar till marken och förnedrat dem.
3 Israels styrka har lämnat henne, nu är hon i stället drabbad av Guds vrede. Han drar tillbaka sitt beskydd när fienden anfaller. Gud går fram över hela Israels land som en förtärande eld.
4 Han spänner sin båge mot sitt eget folk som om det gällde en fiende. Hans styrka används mot dem för att döda deras unga män. Hans ilska är över dem som en eld.
5 Ja, Herren har blivit en fiende, och han förgör Israel. Han har brutit ner dess fästningar och palats. Sorg och tårar är vad han ger Jerusalem.
6 Han har ödelagt sitt eget tempel, det är som en övergiven trädgård. Folket kan inte längre fira sina heliga högtider eller sabbater. Han avsätter både kungar och präster i sin vrede.
7 Herren har förkastat sitt eget altare, för han avskyr sitt folks falska gudstjänst. Han har överlämnat palatsen till fiender, och de firar i templet och gläds på samma sätt som Israel gjorde under sina heliga högtidsdagar!
8 Herren hade bestämt sig för att ödelägga Jerusalem. Han hade gjort upp en fast plan för dess förstörelse. Därför föll murar och torn för honom.
9 Jerusalems portar är obrukbara. Alla dess lås och bommar har han brutit sönder och krossat. Stadens kungar och furstar har blivit slavar i avlägsna länder och saknar lag och profetiska syner som kan ge dem vägledning.
10 Jerusalems äldste sitter tysta på marken klädda i säcktyg. De strör jord över sina huvuden i sorg och förtvivlan. Jerusalems unga flickor hänger med huvudet.
11 Jag har gråtit tills jag inte längre har några tårar. Mitt innersta är upprört när jag ser vad som har hänt mitt folk. Små barn och spädbarn tynar bort och dör på gatorna.
12 Mamma, mamma, vi vill ha mat, ropar de och faller sedan ihop i mödrarnas armar, och deras liv rinner ut som hos soldater som sårats i strid.
13 Har det någonsin i hela världen funnits en sådan sorg? Jerusalem, vad kan jag jämföra din förtvivlan med? Hur kan jag trösta dig? Dina sår är djupa som havet. Vem kan bota dig?
14 Dina profeter har talat som dårar och varit falska alltigenom. De har inte ens försökt att hjälpa dig ur slaveriet genom att peka på dina synder. De har ljugit och sagt att allt varit bra.
15 Alla som går förbi skakar på huvudet och säger hånfullt: Skulle detta vara den stad som kallats den skönaste i världen och hela jordens glädje?
16 Alla dina fiender uppslukar dig. De gnisslar tänder och säger: Äntligen har vi lyckats förstöra dig! Vi har väntat länge på den här stunden, och nu är den här! Med våra egna ögon har vi sett ditt fall.
17 Men det är Herren som har gjort det. Han har gjort precis det som han varnade för. Han har uppfyllt löftet som han gav för länge sedan. Han har ödelagt Jerusalem utan förbarmande och gett dess fiender anledning att segra över henne och berömma sig av sin styrka.
18 Man ropar till Herren. O Jerusalems murar, låt dina tårar forsa fram som en flod. Gråt dag och natt!
19 Gå upp mitt i natten och ropa till din Gud! Utgjut ditt hjärta som vatten inför Herren! Lyft dina händer upp mot honom! Be om hjälp för dina barns skull, för de dör av hunger på gatorna!
20 Herre, tänk på vad du gör! Det är ditt eget folk du gör allt detta mot! Ska du tvinga en mor att äta sitt eget barn? Ska präster och profeter behöva dö i Herrens tempel?
21 Se hur de ligger på gatorna, gamla och unga, pojkar och flickor, dödade av fiendernas svärd! Du har dödat dem, Herre, i din vrede. Du har dödat dem utan barmhärtighet.
22 Det är du som medvetet har planerat denna förstörelse. På din vredes dag kunde ingen fly eller överleva. Alla mina barn ligger på gatorna dödade av fienden.
