1How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, And hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
1 Wa guna mate kaŋ Koy Beero na Sihiyona ize wayo daabu nda buru nga futa ra! A na Israyla darza jindaw a ma fun beene ka kaŋ ganda. A futa zaaro ra a mana fongu nga ce taamey furkanga gaa.
2The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: 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.
2 Koy Beero na Yakuba gorokoy kulu gon, Bakaraw man'a di mo. A futa ra a na Yahuda ize wayo wongu fuwey bagu-bagu k'i zeeri. A na mayra nda nga koyey kulu ziibandi.
3He has cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
3 Futay korno ra no a na Israyla hillo kulu pati. A na nga kambe ŋwaaro hibandi ka kaa waato kaŋ konnakoy kaa ka maan. A na Yakuba ton danga danji beele cine, Danjo din ga hay kulu kaŋ go nga windanta ŋwa.
4He has bent his bow like an enemy, he has stood with his right hand as an adversary, 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.
4 A na nga birawo candi danga konnako. A kay da nga gaabo sanda ibare cine. Sihiyona ize wayo bukka ra a na boro kulu kaŋ ga kaan iri diyaŋ gaa wi. A na nga futa gusam sanda danji cine.
5The 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 in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
5 Koy Beero ciya danga konnako, a na Israyla gon k'a faadey kulu mo gon. A n'a wongu fuwey kulu bagu-bagu, Yahuda ize wayo se mo a naŋ bu baray da hẽeni ma baa.
6He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden; he has destroyed his place of assembly: Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, Has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
6 Gaabi no a na nga bukka bagu nd'a, danga kali wane cine. A na nga marga nango halaci. Rabbi naŋ borey ma dinya alwaati kosante margey da asibtey* gaa Sihiyona ra. A futay korna ra mo a wangu bonkooni nda alfaga*.
7The Lord has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary; He has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: They have made a noise in the house of Yahweh, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
7 Koy Beero na nga sargay feema furu, A nangu hananta ciya a se fanta hari mo. A na gallo faadey windi cinarey daŋ a konnakoy kambe ra. I kuuwa Rabbi windo ra danga sududuyaŋ marga zaaro ra cine.
8Yahweh 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 to lament; they languish together.
8 Rabbi no ka miila i ma Sihiyona ize wayo birni cinaro bagu-bagu. A na neesiyaŋ korfo candi, A mana nga kamba hibandi mo halaciyaŋ gaa. Wongu cinaro da windi cinarey, A naŋ i kulu ma bu baray te, Zama care banda no i gaabo bu.
9Her gates are 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.
9 A birni me daabirjey sundu laabo ra, A n'a karangaley mo ceeri ka halaci. I kond'a bonkoono d'a mayraykoyey dumi cindey laabey ra, asariya si no koyne. Oho, a annabey si du bangandi kaŋ ga fun Rabbi do.
10The 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.
10 Sihiyona ize wayo arkusey go ga goro ganda siw. I na laabu say ngey boŋey boŋ, I na bufu zaarayaŋ haw ngey cantey gaa. Urusalima* wandiyey go ga ngey boŋey sumbal hala ganda.
11My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver 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.
11 Ay moy zabu ka kayna mundi sabbay se. Ay bina goono ga dooru gumo, Ay bina gusam ganda ay jama ize wayo halaciyaŋo sabbay se, Zanka kayney da naanandey mo go ga kasam gallo fondey ra.
12They tell 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.
12 I go ga ne ngey nyaŋey se: «Man ntaasu nda duvan*?» Mate kaŋ cine i go ga kasam sanda maranteyaŋ gallo fondey gaa, I go ga ngey fundey taŋ nyaŋey gandey ra.
13What 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 great like the sea: who can heal you?
13 Ya Urusalima ize wayo, Ifo n'ay ga ni kaseeti nd'a koyne? Ifo no ay ga ni misa te d'a? Ya Sihiyona wandiya, ifo gaa no ay ga ni deedandi, Zama ay ma ni bina yayandi se? Zama ni kortimo beeri sanda teeku cine. May no ga hin ka ni no baani?
14Your prophets have seen for you false and foolish visions; They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false oracles and causes of banishment.
14 Ni annabey bangando kaŋ i goono ga di ni se din, Tangari nda saamotaray koonu no. I mana ni zunubey fisi ka kaa taray ni se mo, Kaŋ ga naŋ i ma ye ka kande nin ka fun da nin tamtara do. Amma i di tangari nda halliyaŋ bangayyaŋ ni se.
15All 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?
15 Borey kaŋ ga bisa kulu na kambe kobi ni gaa. I go ga cuusu, I ga boŋ zinji Urusalima ize wayo boŋ ka ne: «Gallo neeya kaŋ borey ne a se darza timmantekoy, wala? Bine kaani hari no ndunnya kulu se, wala?»
16All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you; 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.
16 Ni ibarey kulu na ngey meyey feeri ni boŋ. I goono ga cuusu ka ngey hinjey kaama mo ka ne: «Iri n'a gon sukutum! Daahir hano kaŋ iri goono ga laakal dake a gaa neeya. Iri to a gaa, iri di a mo.»
17Yahweh has done that which he purposed; 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.
17 Rabbi te haŋ kaŋ nga miila. Nga sanno kaŋ a lordi za doŋ-doŋ jirbey ra din, A n'a toonandi. A na ni soote ganda, bakaraw man'a di. A naŋ konnakoy ma farhã ni boŋ, A na ni ibarey hillo beerandi mo.
18Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don’t let the apple of your eye cease.
18 I biney hẽ Rabbi gaa ka ne: «Ya Sihiyona ize wayo birni cinaro, naŋ mundi ma fun. I ma sululu sanda gooru cine, cin da zaari. Ni bumbo ma si fulanzam, ni mo gurey mo ma si naŋ.»
19Arise, 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, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
19 Tun cin haray ka zalba, Za saaya kaŋ batukoy goyo ga tun. Ma ni bina soogu sanda hari cine Rabbi jine. Ma ni kambey sambu a jine ka ni ize kayney fundey ŋwaaray, Kaŋ yaŋ goono ga kasam da haray fondo gaaruyaŋ kulu gaa.
20Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
20 Ya Rabbi, guna ka di ka laakal da boro kaŋ se ni na woodin te! Wayborey ga hima ka ngey izey ŋwa no, Ngey izey kaŋ i saajaw? I ga hima ka alfaga nda annabi* wi Koy Beero nangu hananta ra no?
21The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, and not pitied.
21 Arwasu nda dottijo zeeno go ganda ga furu kwaara batamey ra. Ay wane wandiyey da arwasey kulu, takuba n'i zeeri. Ni futa hane no ni n'i wi, Ni n'i halaci, bakaraw mana ni di.
22You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side; There was none that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger: Those that I have dandled and brought up has my enemy consumed.
22 Sanda alwaati kaŋ i kosu marga zaaro ra cine, Yaadin cine no ni na humburkumay hariyaŋ margu ay se kambey kulu gaa. Boro si no kaŋ du ka yana, Boro kaŋ cindi mo si no Rabbi futa hane. Ngey kaŋ ay naanandi, ngey kaŋ ay biiri, Ay ibara n'i halaci.
