1 ALEPH. O how a city once filled with people now sits alone! The Governess of the Gentiles has become like a widow. The Prince of the provinces has been placed under tribute.
1 ¡CÓMO está sentada sola la ciudad populosa! La grande entre las naciones se ha vuelto como viuda, la señora de provincias es hecha tributaria.
2 BETH. Weeping, she has wept through the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. There is no one to be a comfort to her and to all her beloved. All her friends have spurned her, and they have become her enemies.
2 Amargamente llora en la noche, y sus lágrimas en sus mejillas; no tiene quien la consuele de todos sus amadores: todos sus amigos le faltaron, volviéronsele enemigos.
3 GHIMEL. Judah has migrated because of affliction and great servitude. She has lived among the nations and not found rest. All of her persecutors have apprehended her, amid torments.
3 Fuése Judá, á causa de la aflicción, y de la grandeza de servidumbre; ella moró entre las gentes, y no halló descanso: todos sus perseguidores la alcanzaron entre estrechuras.
4 DALETH. The pathways of Zion mourn, because there are none who approach for the solemnity. All her gates are destroyed. Her priests groan. Her virgins are filthy. And she is overwhelmed with bitterness.
4 Las calzadas de Sión tienen luto, porque no hay quien venga á las solemnidades; todas sus puertas están asoladas, sus sacerdotes gimen, sus vírgenes afligidas, y ella tiene amargura.
5 HE. Her enemies have been made her leaders; her adversaries have been enriched. For the Lord has spoken against her, because of the multitude of her iniquities. Her little ones have been led into captivity before the face of the tribulator.
5 Sus enemigos han sido hechos cabeza, sus aborrecedores fueron prosperados; porque Jehová la afligió por la multitud de sus rebeliones: sus niños fueron en cautividad delante del enemigo.
6 VAU. And all her elegance has departed, from the daughter of Zion. Her leaders have become like rams that cannot find pasture, and they have gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer.
6 Fuése de la hija de Sión toda su hermosura: sus príncipes fueron como ciervos que no hallan pasto, y anduvieron sin fortaleza delante del perseguidor.
7 ZAIN. Jerusalem has remembered the days of her affliction and the betrayal of all her desirable ones, whom she held from the days of antiquity, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and there was no one to be a helper. The enemies have looked upon her and mocked her Sabbaths.
7 Jerusalem, cuando cayó su pueblo en mano del enemigo y no hubo quien le ayudase, se acordó de los días de su aflicción, y de sus rebeliones, y de todas sus cosas deseables que tuvo desde los tiempos antiguos: miráronla los enemigos, y escarnecieron de sus sábados.
8 HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a grievous sinz. Because of this, she has become unstable. All who glorified her have spurned her, because they have looked upon her disgrace. Then she groaned and turned away again.
8 Pecado cometió Jerusalem; por lo cual ella ha sido removida: todos los que la honraban la han menospreciado, porque vieron su vergüenza; y ella suspira, y se vuelve atrás.
9 TETH. Her filth is on her feet, and her end has not been remembered. She has been vehemently put down, having no consolation. O Lord, look upon my affliction, for the adversary has been lifted up.
9 Sus inmundicias en sus faldas; no se acordó de su postrimería: por tanto ella ha descendido maravillosamente, no tiene consolador. Mira, oh Jehová, mi aflicción, porque el enemigo se ha engrandecido.
10 JOD. The enemy has sent his hand against all her desirable ones. For she has watched the Gentiles enter her sanctuary, even though you instructed that they should not enter into your church.
10 Extendió su mano el enemigo á todas sus cosas preciosas; y ella ha visto entrar en su santuario las gentes, de las cuales mandaste que no entrasen en tu congregación.
11 CAPH. All her people are groaning and seeking bread. They have given up whatever was precious in exchange for food, so as to remain alive. See, O Lord, and consider, for I have become vile.
11 Todo su pueblo buscó su pan suspirando; dieron por la comida todas sus cosas preciosas, para entretener la vida. Mira, oh Jehová, y ve que estoy abatida.
12 LAMED. O all you who pass by the way, attend, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow. For he has made me a vintage, just as the Lord has spoken in the day of his furious anger.
12 ¿No os conmueve á cuantos pasáis por el camino? Mirad, y ved si hay dolor como mi dolor que me ha venido; porque Jehová me ha angustiado en el día de la ira de su furor.
13 MEM. From on high, he has sent fire into my bones, and he has educated me. He has spread a net for my feet; he has turned me back. He has placed me in desolation, consumed by grief, all day long.
13 Desde lo alto envió fuego en mis huesos, el cual se enseñoreó: ha extendido red á mis pies, tornóme atrás, púsome asolada, y que siempre tenga dolor.
14 NUN. Vigilant is the yoke of my iniquities. They have been folded together in his hand and imposed on my neck. My virtue has been weakened. The Lord has given me into a hand, out of which I am not able to rise.
14 El yugo de mis rebeliones está ligado por su mano, enlazadas han subido sobre mi cerviz: ha hecho caer mis fuerzas: hame entregado el Señor en sus manos, contra quienes no podré levantarme.
15 SAMECH. The Lord has taken away all of my great ones from my midst. He has called forth time against me, so as to crush my elect ones. The Lord has trampled the winepress, which was for the virgin daughter of Judah.
15 El Señor ha hollado todos mis fuertes en medio de mí; llamó contra mí compañía para quebrantar mis mancebos: como lagar ha pisado el Señor á la virgen hija de Judá.
16 AIN. For this I weep, and my eyes bring forth water. For the consoler has been far away from me, changing my soul. My sons have become lost, because the enemy has prevailed.
16 Por esta causa yo lloro; mis ojos, mis ojos fluyen aguas; porque se alejó de mí consolador que dé reposo á mi alma: mis hijos son destruídos, porque el enemigo prevaleció.
17 PHE. Zion has reached out her hands; there is no one to console her. The Lord has given orders against Jacob; his enemies are all around him. Jerusalem among them is like a woman made unclean by menstruation.
17 Sión extendió sus manos, no tiene quien la consuele; Jehová dió mandamiento contra Jacob, que sus enemigos lo cercasen: Jerusalem fué en abominación entre ellos.
18 SADE. The Lord is just, for it is I who has provoked his mouth to wrath. I beg all people to listen and to see my sorrow. My virgins and my youths have gone into captivity.
18 Jehová es justo; que yo contra su boca me rebelé. Oid ahora, pueblos todos, y ved mi dolor: mis vírgenes y mis mancebos fueron en cautiverio.
19 COPH. I called for my friends, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders have been consumed in the city. For they were seeking their food, so as to revive their life.
19 Dí voces á mis amadores, mas ellos me han engañado; mis sacerdotes y mis ancianos en la ciudad perecieron, buscando comida para sí con que entretener su vida.
20 RES. See, O Lord, that I am in tribulation. My bowels have been disturbed, my heart has been subverted within me, for I am filled with bitterness. Outside, the sword puts to death, and at home there is a similar death.
20 Mira, oh Jehová, que estoy atribulada: mis entrañas rugen, mi corazón está trastornado en medio de mí; porque me rebelé desaforadamente: de fuera deshijó el cuchillo, de dentro parece una muerte.
21 SIN. They have heard that I groan and that there is no one to console me. All my enemies have heard of my misfortune; they have rejoiced that you caused it. You have brought in a day of consolation, and so they shall become like me.
21 Oyeron que gemía, y no hay consolador para mí: todos mis enemigos han oído mi mal, se han holgado de que tú lo hiciste. Harás venir el día que has anunciado, y serán como yo.
22 THAU. Let all their evil enter before you. And make vintage of them, just as you made vintage of me, because of all my iniquities. For my sighs are many, and my heart is grieving.
22 Entre delante de ti toda su maldad, y haz con ellos como hiciste conmigo por todas mis rebeliones: porque muchos son mis suspiros, y mi corazón está doloroso.
