¹How hath the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

¹Kuidas küll Issand oma vihas kattis pilvedega Siioni tütre! Ta heitis taevast maha Iisraeli ilu ega mõelnud oma jalgade järile oma vihapäeval.

²The LORD hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

²Issand hävitas armuta kõik Jaakobi eluasemed; oma vihas lõhkus ta maha Juuda tütre kindlused; ta tegi need maatasa, teotas kuningriigi ja selle vürstid.

³He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

³Oma tulises vihas raius ta maha kõik Iisraeli sarved. Ta tõmbas tagasi oma parema käe vaenlase ees ja süttis Jaakobis otsekui tuleleek, mis põletab ümbruse.

⁴He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

⁴Ta vinnastas oma ammu nagu vaenlane, seisis tõstetud parema käega nagu rõhuja ja tappis kõik silmarõõmu Siioni tütre telgis. Ta valas oma raevu välja kui tuld.

⁵The LORD was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

⁵Issand oli nagu vaenlane, ta hävitas Iisraeli; ta hävitas kõik tema paleed, purustas ta kindlused ja tõi Juuda tütrele hulgana kurvastust ja leina.

⁶And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

⁶Ta lammutas oma eluaseme otsekui aia, hävitas oma kogunemispaiga; Issand saatis Siionis unustusse pühad ja hingamispäevad, hülgas oma viha sajatuses kuningad ja preestrid.

⁷The LORD hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.

⁷Issand tõukas ära oma altari, jättis maha oma pühamu, andis vaenlase kätte selle paleede müürid. Issanda kojast kostis kära otsekui pühade ajal.

⁸The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

⁸Issand otsustas hävitada Siioni tütre müürid; ta vedas mõõdunööri neist üle ega hoidnud oma kätt tagasi neid hävitamast; ta pani leinama kaitsevalli ja müüri, need varisesid üheskoos.

⁹Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.

⁹Selle väravad vajusid maasse, ta hävitas ja murdis riivid. Selle kuningas ja vürstid on paganate seas, kus ei ole Seadust, prohvetidki ei saa seal Issandalt nägemust.

¹⁰The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

¹⁰Vaikides istuvad maas Siioni tütre vanemad: nad on riputanud enesele tuhka pähe, rõivastunud kotiriidesse. Oma pea on painutanud maani Jeruusalemma neitsid.

¹¹Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

¹¹Mu silmad on pisaraist kibedad, mu sisemus käärib, mu maks on valatud maha mu rahva tütre murdumise pärast. Sest linna turgudel on nõrkenud lapsed ja imikud.

¹²They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.

¹²Nad küsivad emadelt: 'Kus on leib ja vein?', kui nad nõrkevad nagu haavatud linna turgudel, kui nad heidavad hinge oma ema süles.

¹³What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

¹³Mida võiksin sulle tunnistada, millega sind võrrelda, Jeruusalemma tütar? Mida võiksin pidada sinu sarnaseks, et sind trööstida, neitsi, Siioni tütar? Sest su purustus on suur nagu meri, kes suudaks sind parandada!

¹⁴Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

¹⁴Su prohvetid on kuulutanud sulle vääri ja mõttetuid nägemusi; aga nad ei ole paljastanud su süüd, et pöörata su saatust, vaid on sulle ilmutanud petlikke ja eksitavaid ennustusi.

¹⁵All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

¹⁵Kõik teekäijad löövad sinu pärast käsi kokku, nad vilistavad ja vangutavad pead Jeruusalemma tütre pärast: 'Kas see on linn, mille kohta öeldi: ilu täius, kogu maa rõõm?'

¹⁶All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.

¹⁶Kõik su vaenlased ajavad oma suud ammuli su vastu, nad vilistavad ja kiristavad hambaid, nad ütlevad: 'Me oleme ta neelanud. See on tõesti päev, mida oleme oodanud, nüüd on see käes, me oleme seda näinud.'

¹⁷The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.

¹⁷Issand tegi, mida ta oli otsustanud, tegi tõeks oma sõna, mida ta oli kuulutanud muistsest ajast: ta lõhkus maha ega halastanud, ta laskis vaenlasel su pärast rõõmu tunda, ta kergitas su rõhujate sarve.

¹⁸Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.

¹⁸Nende süda kisendab Issanda poole. Siioni tütre müür, lase pisarail voolata jõena päeval ja öösel! Ära luba enesele lõtvust, ärgu olgu su silmateral rahu!

¹⁹Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

¹⁹Tõuse, karju öösel vahikordade alguses! Vala oma süda välja kui vesi Issanda palge ette! Tõsta oma käed tema poole oma laste elu pärast, kes on näljast nõrkemas igal tänavanurgal!

²⁰Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

²⁰Vaata, Issand, ja silmitse, kellele sa nõnda oled teinud: kas naised peavad sööma oma ihuvilja, terveina sündinud lapsi? Kas tohib Issanda pühamus tappa preestrit ja prohvetit?

²¹The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.

²¹Tänavail lamab maas noor ja vana, mu neitsid ja noored mehed langesid mõõga läbi. Sina surmasid oma vihapäeval, tapsid, ei andnud armu.

²²Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

²²Sa kutsusid kokku nagu pidupäevaks mu vaenlased igalt poolt; Issanda vihapäeval ei jäänud põgenikku ega pääsenut: neile, keda olin ilmale toonud ja kasvatanud, tegi mu vaenlane lõpu.
