Okukungubaga 2
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
2 (A)Obusungu bwa Mukama nga bubuubuukidde ku Muwala wa Sayuuni
ne bumussa wansi w’ekire!
Ekitiibwa kya Isirayiri, Mukama akissizza wansi
okuva mu ggulu okutuuka ku nsi;
ne yeerabira entebe ey’ebigere bye
ku lunaku lwe yasunguwalirako.
2 (B)Mukama azikirizza
abatuula mu Yakobo bonna awatali kubasaasira;
mu busungu bwe amenye
ebigo eby’amaanyi eby’omuwala wa Yuda;
assizza wansi obwakabaka bwe n’abakungu be

3 (C)Mu busungu obungi
amaanyi gonna aga Isirayiri agakendeezezza;
bw’alabye omulabe ng’asembera,
n’aggyawo omukono gwe ogwa ddyo;
anyiigidde Yakobo okufaanana ng’omuliro
bwe gubumbujja ne gwokya buli ekiguliraanye.
4 (D)Anaanudde omutego gwe okufaanana nga ogw’omulabe,
era omukono gwe ogwa ddyo mweteefuteefu.
Azikirizza ebyo byonna ebisanyusa amaaso
mu weema ey’omuwala wa Sayuuni,
okufaanana ng’omulabe bwe yandikoze;
obusungu bwe bubuubuuka ng’omuliro.
5 (E)Mukama afuuse ng’omulabe;
azikirizza Isirayiri,
n’azikiriza embiri ze,
n’azikiriza n’ebifo bye eby’amaanyi.
Aleetedde muwala wa Yuda
okweyongera okukaaba n’okukungubaga.
6 (F)Asaanyizzaawo eweema ye n’efaanana ng’ennimiro,
era azikirizza n’ekifo kye eky’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
Mukama yeerabizza Sayuuni
embaga ze entukuvu ne ssabbiiti,
era mu busungu bwe obungi
anyoomye kabaka ne kabona.
7 (G)Mukama atamiddwa ekyoto kye,
n’alekulira n’ekifo kye ekitukuvu.
Awaddeyo bbugwe w’embiri ze eri omulabe;
era baleekaanidde mu nnyumba ya Mukama,
ne baleetamu oluyoogaano
nga ku lunaku olw’embaga entukuvu.
8 (H)Mukama yamalirira okumenya
bbugwe eyeetoolodde muwala wa Sayuuni,
n’agolola omuguwa ogupima,
Omukono gwe ne guteewala kuzikiriza.
Yaleetera enkomera ne bbugwe okukungubaga,
byonna ne biggweerera.
9 (I)Emiryango gye gisse mu ttaka,
n’emitayimbwa gyagyo agimenye n’agyonoona.
Kabaka we n’abakungu be baawaŋŋangusizibwa,
eteri mateeka gaabwe agabafuga,
era ne bannabbi be tebakyafuna
kwolesebwa kuva eri Mukama.
10 (J)Abakadde b’Omuwala wa Sayuuni
batuula wansi ku ttaka nga basiriikiridde;
bayiye enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe
era beesibye ebibukutu;
n’abawala ba Yerusaalemi
bakotese emitwe gyabwe.
11 (K)Amaaso gange gakooye olw’okukaaba
n’emmeeme yange enyiikadde
n’omutima gwange gulumwa
olw’okuzikirizibwa kw’abantu bange,
n’olw’abaana abato n’abaana abawere okuzirikira
wakati mu nguudo ez’omu kibuga.
12 (L)Bakaabirira bannyaabwe nga bwe boogera nti,
“Omugaati n’envinnyo biri ludda wa?”
nga bwe bazirika okufaanana ng’abaliko ebiwundu
mu nguudo ez’ekibuga,
nga bwe bakaabira
mu bifuba bya bannyaabwe.
13 (M)Nnyinza kugamba ki,
era kiki kye nnyinza okukugeraageranyaako
ggwe Omuwala wa Yerusaalemi?
Kiki kye nnyinza okukufaananya,
okukusanyusa ggwe
Omuwala Embeerera owa Sayuuni?
Ekiwundu kyo kinene nnyo,
kale ani ayinza okukiwonya?
14 (N)Okwolesebwa bannabbi bo kwe baafuna,
kwali kwa bulimba era kwa butaliimu;
tebaakutegeeza obutali butuukirivu bwo
okukuwonya obusibe.
Engero ze baabanyumizanga
zaali za bulimba era eziwabya.
15 (O)Bonna abayitawo
babakubira mu ngalo
ne bafuuwa empa ne banyeenyeza
omuwala wa Yerusaalemi emitwe gyabwe nga boogera nti,
“Kino kye kibuga ekyayitibwanga
ekituukiridde,
era essanyu ly’ensi zonna?”
16 (P)Abalabe bo bonna
baasaamiridde nga beewuunya;
nga bafuuwa empa, era baluma amannyo
nga boogera nti, “Tumuzikirizza.
Luno lwe lunaku lwe twalindirira,
kaakano lutuukiridde, era tululabye.”
17 (Q)Mukama akoze kye yateekateeka,
era atuukirizza ekigambo kye
kye yalagira mu nnaku ez’edda.
Akuzikirizza awatali kukusaasira,
aleetedde omulabe wo okukusekerera,
n’amaanyi g’abalabe bo agagulumizza.
18 (R)Kaabirira Mukama
n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka
ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni.
Leka amaziga go gakulukute ng’omugga
emisana n’ekiro.
Teweewummuza so toganya
maaso go kuwummula.
19 (S)Golokoka, okaabe ekiro
obudde nga bwa kaziba;
Fuka emmeeme yo ng’amazzi
mu maaso ga Mukama.
Yimusa emikono gyo gy’ali,
olw’obulamu bw’abaana bo abato
abazirise olw’enjala
mu buli luguudo.
20 (T)“Tunula, Ayi Mukama Katonda osaasire!
Ani gwe wali obonerezza bw’otyo?
Ddala, abakyala balye ebibala by’embuto zaabwe,
abaana be bakuzizza?
Ddala, bakabona ne bannabbi battibwe
mu watukuvu wa Mukama?
21 (U)“Abato n’abakulu bonna bafiiridde wamu
mu nfuufu ey’enguudo;
abavubuka bange ne bawala bange
battiddwa n’ekitala;
obattidde ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwo,
era obasse awatali kusaasira.
22 (V)“Nga bw’oyita abantu ku lunaku olw’embaga,
bw’otyo bw’ompitidde ebikemo ku njuyi zonna;
era ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwa Mukama,
tewali n’omu eyasimattuka newaakubadde eyasigalawo;
abo be nalabirira ne nkuza,
omulabe wange be yazikiriza.”
Lamentations 2
New International Version
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)
