Plenn 5
Haitian Creole Version
5 ¶ Seyè, gade sa ki te rive nou non! Voye je gade nou. Wè nan ki mizè nou ye!
2 Peyi nou an nan men moun lòt nasyon! Yo pran kay nou pou yo.
3 Nou se timoun san papa. Manman nou tankou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.
4 Se achte pou n' achte dlo pou nou bwè. Si nou pa gen lajan, nou pa jwenn bwa pou nou boule.
5 N'ap travay di tankou bourik, tankou bèf kabwa. Nou bouke, nou pa ka pran kanpo.
6 Pou nou ka jwenn manje pou nou manje nou blije ap lonje men bay peyi Lejip ak peyi Lasiri.
7 Zansèt nou yo fè peche. Yo pa la ankò! Se nou menm k'ap peye pou sa yo te fè.
8 Moun k'ap gouvènen nou yo se esklav yo ye. Pesonn pa ka delivre nou anba men yo.
9 Se gwo danje lè nou soti al dèyè manje. Ansasen toupatou nan peyi a.
10 Grangou ban nou lafyèb. Kò nou cho kou dife.
11 Yo fè kadejak sou madanm nou sou mòn Siyon an. Nan tout ti bouk peyi Jida yo yo kenbe pitit fi nou yo.
12 Yo pran chèf nou yo, yo pann yo. Yo derespekte granmoun nou yo.
13 Yo fòse jenn gason nou yo rale moulen. Ti gason nou yo ap titibe anba gwo chay bwa.
14 Granmoun yo pa chita nan pòtay lavil la ankò. Jennmoun nou yo pa chante ankò.
15 Pa gen kè kontan lakay nou. Nou pa danse ankò! Lapenn plen kè nou!
16 Tou sa ki te konn ban nou kè kontan disparèt. Nou te peche, malè tonbe sou nou.
17 ¶ Nou malad nan fon kè nou, nou pa ka wè tèlman n'ap kriye,
18 paske mòn Siyon an tounen savann. Se bèt nan bwa ase ki rete la.
19 Men ou menm, Seyè, ou wa pou tou tan. W'ap gouvènen jouk sa kaba.
20 Poukisa ou lage nou pou tout tan sa a? Gen lè ou p'ap janm chonje nou ankò!
21 Seyè, fè nou tounen vin jwenn ou non! Fè nou tounen vin jwenn ou! Fè nou viv jan nou te konn viv nan tan lontan an non!
22 Eske ou voye nou jete pou tout bon? Pou di ou p'ap janm sispann fache sou nou?
Lamentations 5
New King James Version
Prayer for Restoration
5 Remember, (A)O Lord, what has come upon us;
Look, and behold (B)our reproach!
2 (C)Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens,
And our houses to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans and waifs,
Our mothers are like (D)widows.
4 We pay for the water we drink,
And our wood comes at a price.
5 (E)They pursue at our [a]heels;
We labor and have no rest.
6 (F)We have given our hand (G)to the Egyptians
And the (H)Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 (I)Our fathers sinned and are no more,
But we bear their iniquities.
8 Servants rule over us;
There is none to deliver us from their hand.
9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives,
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
Because of the fever of famine.
11 They (J)ravished the women in Zion,
The maidens in the cities of Judah.
12 Princes were hung up by their hands,
And elders were not respected.
13 Young men (K)ground at the millstones;
Boys staggered under loads of wood.
14 The elders have ceased gathering at the gate,
And the young men from their (L)music.
15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
Our dance has turned into (M)mourning.
16 (N)The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this our heart is faint;
(O)Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is (P)desolate,
With foxes walking about on it.
19 You, O Lord, (Q)remain forever;
(R)Your throne from generation to generation.
20 (S)Why do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?
21 (T)Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be [b]restored;
Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!
