1 El Señor oscureció a Sion, pues su enojo era como una nube oscura; acabó con la hermosura de Israel hasta volverla nada. En el día de su enojo, ni siquiera se acordó de la posición de privilegio que goza esta ciudad.
1 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 El Señor destruyó sin piedad todas las casas de Israel. En su ira derribó las fortalezas de la capital de Judá. Echó por tierra tanto el reino como a sus príncipes.
2 The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
3 Deshizo todo el poderío de Israel cuando dio rienda suelta a su cólera. No nos protegió más cuando el enemigo llegó a atacarnos. El Señor acaba con Israel por todos lados como si fuera un incendio fuera de control.
3 He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
4 Ha atacado como si fuera un guerrero enemigo, dando muerte con sus flechas a nuestros muchachos más valiosos del país. Como el fuego que destruye una tienda valiosa, así derramó su enojo contra Jerusalén.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary. He has killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 El Señor ha tratado a Israel como a un enemigo, destruyéndolo. Ha derribado sus torres de defensa y sus palacios. Ha traído llanto y tristeza sin fin a la capital de Judá.
5 The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
6 Ha derribado su templo, después de haber ingresado a la ciudad destruyendo sus murallas como si fueran sólo la cerca de un huerto. El Señor ha hecho que olvide sus fiestas santas y sábados. Reyes y sacerdotes caen juntos ante su ira.
6 He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.
7 El Señor ha rechazado su propio altar, ha despreciado su santuario, ha entregado sus palacios a sus enemigos. ¡Hasta se atreven a gritar en el templo como si fuera un día de fiesta!
7 The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in Yahweh’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 El Señor decidió derribar las murallas de Jerusalén. Planeó con cuidado su destrucción y la llevó a cabo. Muros y refuerzos de las murallas han caído ante su acción.
8 Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall lament. They languish together.
9 Las puertas de Jerusalén han caído por el suelo; el Señor destruyó por completo sus cerrojos. Su rey y sus príncipes andan como extranjeros en tierras lejanas. Ya no hay ley y sus profetas ya no tienen visiones de parte del Señor.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not. Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
10 Los sabios consejeros de Jerusalén se sientan en tierra y guardan silencio, vestidos con sacos ásperos propios de tiempos de dolor echan polvo sobre sus cabezas en señal de tristeza. Las muchachas de Jerusalén agachan sus cabezas hasta el suelo como señal de la tristeza que sufren.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground. They keep silence. They have cast up dust on their heads. They have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 He llorado hasta agotar mis lágrimas, todo mi ser se siente profundamente conmovido al ver lo que ha pasado a Jerusalén. ¡Incluso niños, niñas y bebés de pecho desfallecen y mueren en las calles de la ciudad!
11 My eyes fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My bile is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
12 «¡Mamá, mamá, queremos comer!», claman mientras sus vidas se van debilitando en los mismos brazos de sus madres. Luego mueren, como si fueran los heridos de una guerra.
12 They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
13 ¿Hubo alguna vez en toda la tierra un dolor tan grande como el tuyo? Dime, Jerusalén, ¿con qué compararé tu angustia? ¿Cómo podré consolarte, pura y bella Jerusalén? Porque tu angustia es tan grande como el mar. ¿Quién podrá curarte?
13 What shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big as the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Tus «profetas» han dicho muchas cosas necias y totalmente falsas, no te señalaron tu maldad para que hubieras podido evitar tu cautiverio; mintieron con falsos mensajes y te hicieron creer en ellos.
14 Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.
15 Todos los que pasan por el camino al verte aplauden en son de burla; entre silbido y muecas, dicen: «¿Es esta la ciudad a la que llaman Hermosa, supuestamente la alegría de toda la tierra?».
15 All that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth’?”
16 Todos tus enemigos abren la boca para hablar mal de ti; rechinando los dientes, se burlan diciendo: «¡La hemos destruido al fin! ¡Ha llegado el día que tanto esperábamos! ¡Por fin podemos verlo!».
16 All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen it.”
17 El Señor es quien llevó a cabo lo que había planeado. Cumplió las promesas de desastre que hizo hace mucho tiempo. Destruyó a Jerusalén sin piedad y ha permitido que sus enemigos se rían de ella y presuman delante de ella su poder.
17 Yahweh has done that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 ¡Clama al Señor, Jerusalén! ¡Oh bella ciudad amurallada, capital de Sion! ¡Que tus lágrimas corran con abundancia! ¡No dejes de llorar ni de día ni de noche!
18 Their heart cried to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief. Don’t let your eyes rest.
19 Levántate en la noche y clama al Señor, cuando los guardas inician la ronda. Derrama tu corazón delante del Señor, como si fuera agua, y levanta tus manos hacia él en actitud de oración. ¡Clama a Dios por tus niños y niñas que desfallecen de hambre en las calles!
19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 ¡Oh Señor, ponte a pensar, es a tu propio pueblo al que haces sufrir así! ¿Acaso era necesario llegar al extremo de que las madres tuvieran que comerse a sus propios hijos pequeños? ¿Que los sacerdotes y profetas fueran asesinados incluso dentro del templo del Señor?
20 “Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Should the women eat their offspring, the children that they held and bounced on their knees? Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 ¡Niños y ancianos, muchachos y muchachas, tendidos en las calles, muertos por las heridas de espada del enemigo! ¡Tú los has matado sin piedad, dejándote llevar por tu cólera!
21 “The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger. You have slaughtered, and not pitied.
22 ¡Has traído el terror de todas partes, como si lo trajeras a una fiesta! En el día de tu ira, Señor, nadie ha escapado ni quedado con vida. El enemigo ha matado a todos los niños y niñas que yo crie y eduqué.
22 “You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
