¶ Jan lavil Jerizalèm te plen moun yon lè! Gade, jounen jòdi a li chita pou kont li! Li tankou yon fanm ki pèdi mari l'. Tout nasyon sou latè te respekte pouvwa li. Li te devan tout lòt lavil yo. Koulye a, men li tounen esklav!

Tout lannwit l'ap plede kriye, dlo ap koule nan je l' san rete. Nan tout moun ki te renmen l' yo, li pa jwenn yonn menm pou konsole l'. Tout zanmi l' yo trayi l', yo tout fè l' lènmi koulye a.

Yo depòte moun peyi Jida yo, y'ap peze yo. Y'ap kraze yo anba travay di. Moun peyi Jida yo ap viv nan lòt peyi. Yo pa gen kote pou yo poze kò yo. Tout moun ki pa vle wè yo sènen yo toupatou! Pa gen chape pou yo.

Chemen ki mennen sou mòn Siyon yo blanch! Pesonn pa moute al fè sèvis jou fèt yo. Pòtay li yo vid. Prèt yo ap plenn. Tout medam ki konn chante yo nan lafliksyon. Mòn Siyon an nan gwo chagren.

Lènmi l' yo pran pye sou li. Moun ki pa vle wè l' yo gen lapè avè l'. Seyè a ap fè l' soufri pou tout kantite peche li fè yo. Ata timoun piti yo depòte. Lènmi pouse yo mache devan yo!

Lavil Jerizalèm pèdi tout prestij li. Chèf li yo tankou kabrit mawon ki pa jwenn zèb pou yo manje. Yo pa gen fòs pou yo kouri chape dèvan moun ki dèyè yo.

Nan mizè kote yo ye a, nan pwonmennen toupatou sa a, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo chonje tout bèl bagay yo te gen nan tan lontan. Lè moun li yo tonbe anba men lènmi pesonn pa vin pote yo sekou. Moun ki pa vle wè l' yo ap pale sou li. Yo kontan wè jan yo fini avè l'.

Lavil Jerizalèm te fè anpil peche! Li bay moun degoutans. Moun ki te konn gen respè pou li yo, koulye a yo pa gade l' menm. Li kanpe tankou yon fanm toutouni devan yo. Li menm, l'ap plenn, l'ap kache figi l' tèlman li wont.

Malpwòpte te sou tout rad li, men li pa t' fè lide kote sa t'ap mennen l'. Li tonbe plat atè. Pesonn pa vin konsole li. Bondye papa m', gade nan ki mizè mwen ye non! Lènmi m' yo mete pye sou kou mwen.

10 Lènmi l' yo vòlò tout bèl bagay li te genyen. Moun Bondye te defann mete pye nan tanp lan, li wè yo antre ata kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a.

11 Tout moun ap plenn, y'ap chache manje pou yo manje! Yo bay tout byen yo pou yo sa jwenn manje, pou yo pa fin mouri. -Granmèt o, voye je ou gade m' non! Wè jan y'ap pase m' nan betiz!

12 ¶ Nou tout k'ap pase la a, gade non! Sa pa di nou anyen? Pesonn pa janm pase sa m'ap pase la a. Se Bondye, Seyè a, ki ankòlè k'ap manyen avè m'.

13 Li rete anwo, li voye dife sou mwen, yon dife ki boule tout anndan mwen. Li tann pèlen pou mwen, li fè m' tonbe atè, Li kite m' pou kont mwen. San rete m'ap kòde anba soufrans.

14 Li make tout peche m' yo. Li fè yon pakèt ak yo. Li pandye yo nan kou m'. Yo sitèlman lou, m' pa kapab ankò! Bondye sèl Mèt la lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo. M' pa ka kenbe tèt ak yo.

15 Bondye sèl Mèt la kraze tout vanyan gason m' te genyen yo anba pye l'. Li sanble yon foul moun pou yo atake m', pou yo touye tout jenn gason m' yo. Li kraze moun peyi Jida yo tankou kann nan moulen.

16 Se poutèt sa m'ap kriye konsa! Dlo ap ponpe nan je m' san rete. Pa gen pesonn pou konsole m', pesonn pou ban m' kouraj. Lènmi m' yo gen pye yo sou kou mwen. Moun mwen yo pa gen anyen ankò.

17 Mòn Siyon an lonje men l', men, pa gen pesonn pou ba l' kouraj. Seyè a rele tout moun ki pa vle wè peyi Jakòb la, pou yo sènen l' toupatou. Lavil Jerizalèm tounen malpwòpte nan mitan yo.

18 Men, Seyè a gen rezon l' nan pla men l' paske mwen te refize koute l' lè li t'ap pale m'! Nou tout moun ki toupatou, koute m'! Gade jan m'ap soufri! Yo depòte jenn gason ak jenn fi m' yo.

19 Mwen rele zanmi m' yo. Men, yo pa okipe m' menm! Prèt yo ak chèf fanmi yo mouri nan lavil la pandan y'ap chache manje pou yo reprann fòs.

20 Seyè, gade jan kè m' sere non! Mwen boulvèse. Kè m' ap fè m' mal paske mwen te fè wòklò. Nan lari y'ap ansasinen mwen. Anndan kay menm, se pa pale!

21 Koute jan m'ap plenn. Pa gen pesonn pou ban m' kouraj. Lènmi m' yo vin konnen nan ki malè mwen ye. Yo kontan wè se ou menm ki fè m' sa. Tanpri, fè jou ou te pwomèt la rive non, pou lènmi m' yo ka vin jan mwen ye a.

22 Jije yo pou mechanste yo. Pini yo menm jan ou pini m' pou peche m' yo. M'ap plenn anpil. Kè m' ap fann.

[a]How deserted(A) lies the city,
    once so full of people!(B)
How like a widow(C) is she,
    who once was great(D) among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces
    has now become a slave.(E)

Bitterly she weeps(F) at night,
    tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers(G)
    there is no one to comfort her.
All her friends have betrayed(H) her;
    they have become her enemies.(I)

After affliction and harsh labor,
    Judah has gone into exile.(J)
She dwells among the nations;
    she finds no resting place.(K)
All who pursue her have overtaken her(L)
    in the midst of her distress.

The roads to Zion mourn,(M)
    for no one comes to her appointed festivals.
All her gateways are desolate,(N)
    her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
    and she is in bitter anguish.(O)

Her foes have become her masters;
    her enemies are at ease.
The Lord has brought her grief(P)
    because of her many sins.(Q)
Her children have gone into exile,(R)
    captive before the foe.(S)

All the splendor has departed
    from Daughter Zion.(T)
Her princes are like deer
    that find no pasture;
in weakness they have fled(U)
    before the pursuer.

In the days of her affliction and wandering
    Jerusalem remembers all the treasures
    that were hers in days of old.
When her people fell into enemy hands,
    there was no one to help her.(V)
Her enemies looked at her
    and laughed(W) at her destruction.

Jerusalem has sinned(X) greatly
    and so has become unclean.(Y)
All who honored her despise her,
    for they have all seen her naked;(Z)
she herself groans(AA)
    and turns away.

Her filthiness clung to her skirts;
    she did not consider her future.(AB)
Her fall(AC) was astounding;
    there was none to comfort(AD) her.
“Look, Lord, on my affliction,(AE)
    for the enemy has triumphed.”

10 The enemy laid hands
    on all her treasures;(AF)
she saw pagan nations
    enter her sanctuary(AG)
those you had forbidden(AH)
    to enter your assembly.

11 All her people groan(AI)
    as they search for bread;(AJ)
they barter their treasures for food
    to keep themselves alive.
“Look, Lord, and consider,
    for I am despised.”

12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?(AK)
    Look around and see.
Is any suffering like my suffering(AL)
    that was inflicted on me,
that the Lord brought on me
    in the day of his fierce anger?(AM)

13 “From on high he sent fire,
    sent it down into my bones.(AN)
He spread a net(AO) for my feet
    and turned me back.
He made me desolate,(AP)
    faint(AQ) all the day long.

14 “My sins have been bound into a yoke[b];(AR)
    by his hands they were woven together.
They have been hung on my neck,
    and the Lord has sapped my strength.
He has given me into the hands(AS)
    of those I cannot withstand.

15 “The Lord has rejected
    all the warriors in my midst;(AT)
he has summoned an army(AU) against me
    to[c] crush my young men.(AV)
In his winepress(AW) the Lord has trampled(AX)
    Virgin Daughter(AY) Judah.

16 “This is why I weep
    and my eyes overflow with tears.(AZ)
No one is near to comfort(BA) me,
    no one to restore my spirit.
My children are destitute
    because the enemy has prevailed.”(BB)

17 Zion stretches out her hands,(BC)
    but there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has decreed for Jacob
    that his neighbors become his foes;(BD)
Jerusalem has become
    an unclean(BE) thing(BF) among them.

18 “The Lord is righteous,(BG)
    yet I rebelled(BH) against his command.
Listen, all you peoples;
    look on my suffering.(BI)
My young men and young women
    have gone into exile.(BJ)

19 “I called to my allies(BK)
    but they betrayed me.
My priests and my elders
    perished(BL) in the city
while they searched for food
    to keep themselves alive.

20 “See, Lord, how distressed(BM) I am!
    I am in torment(BN) within,
and in my heart I am disturbed,(BO)
    for I have been most rebellious.(BP)
Outside, the sword bereaves;
    inside, there is only death.(BQ)

21 “People have heard my groaning,(BR)
    but there is no one to comfort me.(BS)
All my enemies have heard of my distress;
    they rejoice(BT) at what you have done.
May you bring the day(BU) you have announced
    so they may become like me.

22 “Let all their wickedness come before you;
    deal with them
as you have dealt with me
    because of all my sins.(BV)
My groans(BW) are many
    and my heart is faint.”
