1 Las calles de Jerusalén donde antes siempre había un feliz alboroto están ahora en silencio. La que era gran señora ahora es como una viuda que se sienta a llorar su soledad. La que era reina de pueblos ahora es la criada.
1 How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave!
2 Llora toda la noche; las lágrimas corren por sus mejillas. Entre todos sus amantes no hay quien la consuele. Todos sus amigos la han traicionado y son ahora sus enemigos.
2 She weeps bitterly in the night. Her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her. They have become her enemies.
3 Han expulsado a Judá de su propio territorio y la han sometido a trabajos forzados y dolorosos. Sus enemigos la alcanzaron y la llenaron angustia.
3 Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction and because of great servitude. She dwells among the nations. She finds no rest. All her persecutors overtook her in her distress.
4 Los caminos que conducen a Jerusalén están muy tristes, pues no hay quien venga con alegría a celebrar las fiestas del templo. Las puertas de acceso a la ciudad están desportilladas, sus sacerdotes gimotean, las jóvenes afligidas y Jerusalén sufren amargamente.
4 The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to the solemn assembly. All her gates are desolate. Her priests sigh. Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
5 Sus enemigos dominan sobre Jerusalén, y están alegres por el dolor de la ciudad. ¡Y todo es porque el Señor ha castigado a Jerusalén por la cantidad de los delitos que ha cometido! ¡Hasta se han llevado a sus niños cautivos a tierras lejanas!
5 Her adversaries have become the head. Her enemies prosper; for Yahweh has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
6 Jerusalén ha perdido toda su hermosura y majestad. Sus principales ciudadanos son como ciervos hambrientos que buscan pastos, sin fuerzas para seguir huyendo de sus perseguidores que les pisan los talones.
6 All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion. Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture. They have gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Y ahora, en medio de toda su aflicción, Jerusalén recuerda toda su historia de sufrimiento, como cuando cayó en poder del enemigo y nadie la ayudó, y cuando sus enemigos vieron su caída se burlaron de ella.
7 Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old; when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and no one helped her. The adversaries saw her. They mocked at her desolations.
8 ¡Tantos son los delitos de Jerusalén que parece imposible volver a restaurarle su honra! Todo aquel que la honraba ahora la desprecia, pues la ha visto insignificante y humillada. Ahora sólo llora y no se atreve a dar la cara.
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned. Therefore she has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. Yes, she sighs and turns backward.
9 Se entregó a la inmoralidad y no pensó en el castigo que le podría venir. Ahora está humillada hasta lo más bajo y no hay nadie que la ayude, y clama: «¡Oh Señor, mira mi aflicción; el enemigo ha triunfado sobre mí!».
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts. She didn’t remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, Yahweh, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.”
10 Los enemigos se apoderaron de todos sus tesoros, los mismos enemigos a quienes tú prohibiste la pertenencia a tu nación favorita, ahora saquean incluso los tesoros del templo.
10 The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things; for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
11 Su pueblo gime buscando pan; han vendido todo lo que tienen por comida para poder sobrevivir: «¡Mira, oh Señor, el lamentable estado en que me encuentro!».
11 All her people sigh. They seek bread. They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul. “Look, Yahweh, and see, for I have become despised.”
12 ¿Acaso no los conmueve a todos ustedes los que pasan? Miren y juzguen si hay dolor como el mío, el que el Señor me ha causado en el día de su gran enojo.
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, with which Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 Desde el cielo mandó el fuego que ahora me consume toda; me puso una trampa y me hizo caminar de espaldas hacia ella. Me abandonó y me dejó enferma todo el día.
13 “From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet. He has turned me back. He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.
14 ¡El Señor mismo ató mis delitos, y me los puso como si fueran un yugo sobre mi cuello! El Señor mismo me ha debilitado y entregado a mis enemigos, ante quienes estoy completamente indefensa.
14 “The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand. They are knit together. They have come up on my neck. He made my strength fail. The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
15 El Señor despreció a mis guerreros, reunió un gran ejército para exterminar a mis muchachos. ¡El Señor ha aplastado a la joven Judá como se aplastan las uvas para hacer vino!
15 “The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men within me. He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a wine press.
16 No tengo a nadie que me consuele, los que me pueden animar están lejos de aquí. Mis hijos están abandonados porque el enemigo nos conquistó.
16 “For these things I weep. My eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me. My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.”
17 Jerusalén implora por ayuda, pero nadie la consuela. ¡Es que el Señor ha decidido enviar a los vecinos de Israel como sus enemigos! ¡Deja que la traten como si no mereciera ningún respeto!
17 Zion spreads out her hands. There is no one to comfort her. Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
18 Confieso que el Señor tiene razón, pues me he rebelado en su contra. ¡Oigan, les ruego, pueblos de todas partes, vean mi dolor, pues mis muchachos y señoritas han sido llevados como esclavos a tierras lejanas!
18 “Yahweh is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
19 Pedí ayuda a mis amantes pero ellos me traicionaron. Mis sacerdotes y mis sabios consejeros murieron mientras buscaban comida para sobrevivir.
19 “I called for my lovers, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city, while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
20 ¡Mira, oh Señor, mi angustia! ¡Mi corazón está quebrantado y todo mi ser desesperado por haberme rebelado contra ti! En las calles la espada de los enemigos mata a mis hijos y en casa sólo hay muerte.
20 “Look, Yahweh; for I am in distress. My heart is troubled. My heart turns over within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad, the sword bereaves. At home, it is like death.
21 ¡Escucha mis lamentos, Señor, porque tú eres el único que puede consolarme! Cuando mis enemigos escuchan del mal que tú me has hecho, se alegran. ¡Haz que llegue el día en que a ellos les vaya como me ha ido a mí!
21 “They have heard that I sigh. There is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble. They are glad that you have done it. You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they will be like me.
22 ¡Mira también todos sus delitos, oh Señor, y trátalos por ellos como me has tratado a mí! ¡Es que ya estoy harta de gemir y sentir cómo mi corazón se va debilitando!
22 “Let all their wickedness come before you. Do to them as you have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
