- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 How has the Lord darkened in his wrath The daughter of Zion! He has cast down the glory of Israel From heaven to earth, And has not remembered his footstool.
1 ¡CÓMO oscureció el Señor en su furor á la hija de Sión! Derribó del cielo á la tierra la hermosura de Israel, y no se acordó del estrado de sus pies en el día de su ira.
2 In the day of his wrath The Lord has overwhelmed [her] as in the sea, [And] not spared: He has brought down in his fury All the beautiful things of Jacob; He has brought down to the ground The strongholds of the daughter of Judah: He has profaned her king and her princes.
2 Destruyó el Señor, y no perdonó; destruyó en su furor todas las tiendas de Jacob: echó por tierra las fortalezas de la hija de Judá, deslustró el reino y sus príncipes.
3 He has broken in his fierce anger All the horn of Israel: He has turned back his right hand From the face of the enemy, And has kindled a flame in Jacob as fire, And it has devoured all things round about.
3 Cortó con el furor de su ira todo el cuerno de Israel; hizo volver atrás su diestra delante del enemigo; y encendióse en Jacob como llama de fuego que ha devorado en contorno.
4 He has bent his bow as an opposing enemy: He has strengthened his right hand as an adversary, And has destroyed all the desirable things of my eyes In the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: He has poured forth his anger as fire.
4 Entesó su arco como enemigo, afirmó su mano derecha como adversario, y mató toda cosa hermosa á la vista: en la tienda de la hija de Sión derramó como fuego su enojo.
5 The Lord is become as an enemy: He has overwhelmed Israel as in the sea, He has overwhelmed her palaces: He has destroyed his strongholds, And has multiplied the afflicted and humbled ones To the daughter of Judah.
5 Fué el Señor como enemigo, destruyó á Israel; destruyó todos sus palacios, disipó sus fortalezas: y multiplicó en la hija de Judá la tristeza y lamento.
6 And he has scattered his tabernacle as a vine, He has marred his feast: The Lord has forgotten the feast And the Sabbath which he appointed in Zion, And in the fury of his wrath Has vexed the king, and priest, and prince.
6 Y quitó su tienda como de un huerto, destruyó el lugar de su congregación: Jehová ha hecho olvidar en Sión solemnidades y sábados, y ha desechado en el furor de su ira rey y sacerdote.
7 The Lord has rejected his altar, He has cast off his sanctuary, He has broken by the hand of the enemy The wall of her palaces; They have uttered their voice in the house of the Lord As on a feast day.
7 Desechó el Señor su altar, menospreció su santuario, ha entregado en mano del enemigo los muros de sus palacios: dieron grita en la casa de Jehová como en día de fiesta.
8 And he has turned to destroy The wall of the daughter of Zion: He has stretched out the measuring line, He has not turned back his hand from afflicting [her]: Therefore the bulwark mourned, And the wall was weakened with it.
8 Jehová determinó destruir el muro de la hija de Sión; extendió el cordel, no retrajo su mano de destruir: hizo pues, se lamentara el antemuro y el muro; fueron destruídos juntamente.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground: He has destroyed and broken to pieces her bars, [And] her king and her prince among the Gentiles: There is no law, Nay, her prophets have seen no vision from the Lord.
9 Sus puertas fueron echadas por tierra, destruyó y quebrantó sus cerrojos: su rey y sus príncipes están entre las gentes donde no hay ley; sus profetas tampoco hallaron visión de Jehová.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion Have sat upon the ground, They have kept silence: They have cast up dust upon their heads; They have girded themselves with sackcloth: They have brought down to the ground The chief virgins in Jerusalem.
10 Sentáronse en tierra, callaron los ancianos de la hija de Sión; echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas, ciñéronse de saco; las vírgenes de Jerusalem bajaron sus cabezas á tierra.
11 Mine eyes have failed with tears, My heart is troubled, My glory is cast down to the ground, For the destruction of the daughter of my people; While the infant and suckling swoon In the streets of the city.
11 Mis ojos desfallecieron de lágrimas, rugieron mis entrañas, mi hígado se derramó por tierra por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo, cuando desfallecía el niño y el que mamaba, en las plazas de la ciudad.
12 They said to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? While they fainted like wounded men In the streets of the city, While their souls were poured out Into their mother’s bosom.
12 Decían á sus madres: ¿Dónde está el trigo y el vino? Desfallecían como heridos en las calles de la ciudad, derramando sus almas en el regazo de sus madres.
13 What shall I testify to thee, Or what shall I compare to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? Who shall save and comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For the cup of thy destruction is enlarged: Who shall heal thee?
13 ¿Qué testigo te traeré, ó á quién te haré semejante, hija de Jerusalem? ¿A quién te compararé para consolarte, oh virgen hija de Sión? Porque grande es tu quebrantamiento como la mar: ¿quién te medicinará?
14 Thy prophets have seen for thee Vanities and folly: And they have not discovered thine iniquity, To turn back thy captivity; But they have seen for thee vain burdens, And worthless visions.
14 Tus profetas vieron para ti vanidad y locura; y no descubrieron tu pecado para estorbar tu cautiverio, sino que te predicaron vanas profecías y extravíos.
15 All that go by the way Have clapped their hands at thee; They have hissed and shaken their head At the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, The crown of joy of all the earth?
15 Todos los que pasaban por el camino, batieron las manos sobre ti; silbaron, y movieron sus cabezas sobre la hija de Jerusalem, [diciendo]: ¿Es ésta la ciudad que decían de perfecta hermosura, el gozo de toda la tierra?
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: They have hissed and gnashed their teeth, And said, We have swallowed her up: Moreover this is the day which we looked for; We have found it, we have seen it.
16 Todos tus enemigos abrieron sobre ti su boca, silbaron, y rechinaron los dientes; dijeron: Devoremos: cierto éste es el día que esperábamos; lo hemos hallado, vímoslo.
17 The Lord has done that which he purposed; He has accomplished his word, [Even] the things which he commanded from the ancient days: He has thrown down, and has not spared: And he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, He has exalted the horn of him that afflicted thee.
17 Jehová ha hecho lo que tenía determinado, ha cumplido su palabra que él había mandado desde tiempo antiguo: destruyó, y no perdonó; y alegró sobre ti al enemigo, y enalteció el cuerno de tus adversarios.
18 Their heart cried to the Lord, Ye walls of Zion, Pour down tears like torrents day and night: Give thyself no rest; Let not the apple of thine eyes cease.
18 El corazón de ellos clamaba al Señor: Oh muro de la hija de Sión, echa lágrimas como un arroyo día y noche; no descanses, ni cesen las niñas de tus ojos.
19 Arise, rejoice in the night At the beginning of thy watch: Pour out thy heart as water Before the face of the Lord: Lift up thy hands to him For the life of thine infants, Who faint for hunger At the top of all the streets.
19 Levántate, da voces en la noche, en el principio de las velas; derrama como agua tu corazón ante la presencia del Señor; alza tus manos á él por la vida de tus pequeñitos, que desfallecen de hambre en las entradas de todas las calles.
20 Behold, O Lord, And see for whom thou hast gathered thus. Shall the women eat the fruit of their womb? The cook has made a gathering: Shall the infants sucking at the breasts be slain? Wilt thou slay the priest and prophet In the sanctuary of the Lord?
20 Mira, oh Jehová, y considera á quién has hecho así. ¿Han de comer las mujeres su fruto, los pequeñitos de sus crías? ¿Han de ser muertos en el santuario del Señor el sacerdote y el profeta?
21 The child and old man Have lain down in the street: My virgins and my young men Are gone into captivity: Thou hast slain [them] With the sword and with famine; In the day of thy wrath thou hast mangled [them], Thou hast not spared.
21 Niños y viejos yacían por tierra en las calles; mis vírgenes y mis mancebos cayeron á cuchillo: mataste en el día de tu furor, degollaste, no perdonaste.
22 He has called my sojourners round about To a solemn day, And there was not in the day of the wrath of the Lord Anyone that escaped or was left; Whereas I have strengthened and multiplied all mine enemies.
22 Has llamado, como á día de solemnidad, mis temores de todas partes; y en el día del furor de Jehová no hubo quien escapase ni quedase vivo: los que crié y mantuve, mi enemigo los acabó.
