Lamentations 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 How the Lord in his wrath has detested daughter Zion! He has cast down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, Unmindful of his footstool on the day of his wrath.	1 كيف غطى السيد بغضبه ابنة صهيون بالظلام. ألقى من السماء الى الارض فخر اسرائيل ولم يذكر موطئ قدميه في يوم غضبه.
2 The Lord has consumed without pity all the dwellings of Jacob; He has torn down in his anger the fortresses of daughter Judah; He has brought to the ground in dishonor her king and her princes.	2 ابتلع السيد ولم يشفق كل مساكن يعقوب. نقض بسخطه حصون بنت يهوذا. اوصلها الى الارض نجس المملكة ورؤساءها.
3 He broke off, in fiery wrath, the horn that was Israel's whole strength; He withheld the support of his right hand when the enemy approached; He blazed up in Jacob like a flaming fire devouring all about it.	3 عضب بحمو غضبه كل قرن لاسرائيل. رد الى الوراء يمينه امام العدو واشتعل في يعقوب مثل نار ملتهبة تأكل ما حواليها.
4 Like an enemy he made taut his bow; with his arrows in his right hand He took his stand as a foe, and slew all on whom the eye doted; Over the tent of daughter Zion he poured out his wrath like fire.	4 مدّ قوسه كعدو. نصب يمينه كمبغض وقتل كل مشتهيات العين في خباء بنت صهيون. سكب كنار غيظه.
5 The Lord has become an enemy, he has consumed Israel: Consumed all her castles and destroyed her fortresses; For daughter Judah he has multiplied moaning and groaning.	5 صار السيد كعدو. ابتلع اسرائيل. ابتلع كل قصوره اهلك حصونه واكثر في بنت يهوذا النوح والحزن.
6 He has demolished his shelter like a garden booth, he has destroyed his dwelling; In Zion the LORD has made feast and sabbath to be forgotten; He has scorned in fierce wrath both king and priest.	6 ونزع كما من جنة مظلته. اهلك مجتمعه. أنسى الرب في صهيون الموسم والسبت ورذل بسخط غضبه الملك والكاهن.
7 The Lord has disowned his altar, rejected his sanctuary; The walls of her towers he has handed over to the enemy, Who shout in the house of the LORD as on a feast day.	7 كره السيد مذبحه. رذل مقدسه. حصر في يد العدو اسوار قصورها. اطلقوا الصوت في بيت الرب كما في يوم الموسم.
8 The LORD marked for destruction the wall of daughter Zion: He stretched out the measuring line; his hand brought ruin, yet he did not relent-- He brought grief on wall and rampart till both succumbed.	8 قصد الرب ان يهلك سور بنت صهيون. مدّ المطمار. لم يردد يده عن الاهلاك وجعل المترسة والسور ينوحان. قد حزنا معا.
9 Sunk into the ground are her gates; he has removed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the pagans; priestly instruction is wanting, And her prophets have not received any vision from the LORD.	9 تاخت في الارض ابوابها. اهلك وحطم عوارضها. ملكها ورؤساؤها بين الامم. لا شريعة. انبياؤها ايضا لا يجدون رؤيا من قبل الرب.
10 On the ground in silence sit the old men of daughter Zion; They strew dust on their heads and gird themselves with sackcloth; The maidens of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground.	10 شيوخ بنت صهيون يجلسون على الارض ساكتين. يرفعون التراب على رؤوسهم يتنطقون بالمسوح. تحني عذارى اورشليم رؤوسهنّ الى الارض.
11 Worn out from weeping are my eyes, within me all is in ferment; My gall is poured out on the ground because of the downfall of the daughter of my people, As child and infant faint away in the open spaces of the town.	11 كلّت من الدموع عيناي. غلت احشائي. انسكبت على الارض كبدي على سحق بنت شعبي لاجل غشيان الاطفال والرضّع في ساحات القرية.
12 They ask their mothers, "Where is the cereal?"--in vain, As they faint away like the wounded in the streets of the city, And breathe their last in their mothers' arms.	12 يقولون لامهاتهم اين الحنطة والخمر اذ يغشى عليهم كجريح في ساحات المدينة اذ تسكب نفسهم في احضان امهاتهم.
13 To what can I liken or compare you, O daughter Jerusalem? What example can I show you for your comfort, virgin daughter Zion? For great as the sea is your downfall; who can heal you?	13 بماذا انذرك بماذا احذرك. بماذا اشبهك يا ابنة اورشليم. بماذا اقايسك فاعزيك ايتها العذراء بنت صهيون. لان سحقك عظيم كالبحر. من يشفيك.
14 Your prophets had for you false and specious visions; They did not lay bare your guilt, to avert your fate; They beheld for you in vision false and misleading portents.	14 انبياؤك رأوا لك كذبا وباطلا ولم يعلنوا اثمك ليردوا سبيك بل رأوا لك وحيا كاذبا وطوائح.
15 All who pass by clap their hands at you; They hiss and wag their heads over daughter Jerusalem: "Is this the all-beautiful city, the joy of the whole earth?"	15 يصفق عليك بالايادي كل عابري الطريق. يصفرون وينغضون رؤوسهم على بنت اورشليم قائلين أهذه هي المدينة التي يقولون انها كمال الجمال بهجة كل الارض.
16 All your enemies open their mouths against you; They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, "We have devoured her. This at last is the day we hoped for; we have lived to see it!"	16 يفتح عليك افواههم كل اعدائك. يصفرون ويحرقون الاسنان. يقولون قد اهلكناها. حقا ان هذا اليوم الذي رجوناه. قد وجدناه قد رايناه.
17 The LORD has done as he decreed: he has fulfilled the threat He set forth from days of old; he has destroyed and had no pity, Letting the enemy gloat over you and exalting the horn of your foes.	17 فعل الرب ما قصد. تمم قوله الذي اوعد به منذ ايام القدم. قد هدم ولم يشفق واشمت بك العدو. نصب قرن اعدائك.
18 Cry out to the Lord; moan, O daughter Zion! Let your tears flow like a torrent day and night; Let there be no respite for you, no repose for your eyes.	18 صرخ قلبهم الى السيد. يا سور بنت صهيون اسكبي الدمع كنهر نهارا وليلا. لا تعطي ذاتك راحة. لا تكف حدقة عينك.
19 Rise up, shrill in the night, at the beginning of every watch; Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord; Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your little ones (Who faint from hunger at the corner of every street).	19 قومي اهتفي في الليل في اول الهزع. اسكبي كمياه قلبك قبالة وجه السيد. ارفعي اليه يديك لاجل نفس اطفالك المغشي عليهم من الجوع في راس كل شارع
20 "Look, O LORD, and consider: whom have you ever treated thus? Must women eat their offspring, their well-formed children? Are priest and prophet to be slain in the sanctuary of the LORD?	20 انظر يا رب وتطلع بمن فعلت هكذا. أتأكل النساء ثمرهنّ اطفال الحضانة. أيقتل في مقدس السيد الكاهن والنبي.
21 "Dead in the dust of the streets lie young and old; My maidens and young men have fallen by the sword; You have slain on the day of your wrath, slaughtered without pity.	21 اضطجعت على الارض في الشوارع الصبيان والشيوخ. عذاراي وشباني سقطوا بالسيف قد قتلت في يوم غضبك ذبحت ولم تشفق.
22 "You summoned as for a feast day terrors against me from all sides; There was not, on the day of your wrath, either fugitive or survivor; Those whom I bore and reared my enemy has utterly destroyed."	22 قد دعوت كما في يوم موسم مخاوفي حوالي فلم يكن في يوم غضب الرب ناج ولا باق. الذين حضنتهم وربيتهم افناهم عدوي
