BIBLIADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Alef. ¡Cómo, ay, ha anublado, en su cólera,
el Señor a la hija de Sión!
¡Del cielo a la tierra ha precipitado
el esplendor de Israel,
sin acordarse del estrado de sus pies,
en el día de su cólera!
1 Aleph. How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 Bet. El Señor ha destruido sin piedad
todas las moradas de Jacob;
ha derruido, en su furor,
las fortalezas de la hija de Judá;
por tierra ha echado, ha profanado
al reino y a sus príncipes.
2 Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof.
3 Guímel. En el ardor de su cólera ha quebrado
todo el vigor de Israel;
ha echado atrás su diestra
de frente al enemigo;
ha prendido en Jacob como fuego llameante
que devora a la redonda.
3 Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about.
4 Dálet. Ha tensado su arco, igual que un enemigo,
ha afirmado su diestra;
como un adversario ha matado
a todos los que eran encanto de los ojos;
en la tienda de la hija de Sión
ha vertido su furor como fuego.
4 Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his indignation like fire.
5 He. Se ha portado el Señor como enemigo;
ha destruido a Israel,
ha destruido todos sus palacios,
ha derruido sus fortalezas,
ha acumulado en la hija de Judá
gemidos y gemidos.
5 He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women.
6 Vau. Ha forzado, como a un huerto, su cerca,
ha derruido su lugar de reunión.
Ha hecho olvidar Yahveh en Sión
solemnidades y sábados;
ha desechado en el ardor de su cólera
a rey y sacerdote.
6 Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath.
7 Zain. El Señor ha rechazado su altar,
su santuario ha desdeñado;
ha dejado a merced del enemigo
los muros de sus palacios;
¡gritos se dieron en la Casa de Yahveh,
como en día solemne!
7 Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 Jet. Yahveh decidió destruir
la muralla de la hija de Sión.
Tiró el cordel, y no retrajo
su mano de arrasar;
ha envuelto en luto antemural y muro,
que a la vez se desmoronan.
8 Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together.
9 Tet. Sus puertas en tierra se han hundido,
él ha deshecho y roto sus cerrojos;
su rey y sus príncipes están entre las gentes;
¡ya no hay Ley!
Y tampoco sus profetas logran
visiones de Yahveh.
9 Teth. Her 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, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
10 Yod. En tierra están sentados, en silencio,
los ancianos de la hija de Sión;
se han echado polvo en su cabeza,
se han ceñido de sayal.
Inclinan su cabeza hasta la tierra
las vírgenes de Jerusalén.
10 Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Ya lo alcanzamos, ya lo vemos!»
11 Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city.
12 Lámed. Dicen ellos a sus madres:
«¿Dónde hay pan?»,
mientras caen desfallecidos, como víctimas,
en las plazas de la ciudad,
mientras exhalan el espíritu
en el regazo de sus madres.
12 Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers.
13 Mem. ¿A quién te compararé? ¿A quién te asemejaré,
hija de Jerusalén?
¿Quién te podrá salvar y consolar,
virgen, hija de Sión?
Grande como el mar es tu quebranto:
¿quién te podrá curar?
13 Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee?
14 Nun. Tus profetas vieron para ti visiones
de falsedad e insipidez.
No revelaron tu culpa,
para cambiar tu suerte.
Oráculos tuvieron para ti
de falacia e ilusión.
14 Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.
15 Sámek. Sobre ti baten palmas
todos los que pasan de camino;
silban y menean la cabeza
sobre la hija de Jerusalén.
«¿Esa es la ciudad que llamaban la Hermosa,
la alegría de toda la tierra?»
15 Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth?
16 Pe. Abren su boca contra ti
todos tus enemigos;
silban y rechinan de dientes,
dicen: «¡Nos la hemos tragado!
¡Ah, éste es el Día que esperábamos!
16 Phe. All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we have seen it.
17 Ain. Yahveh ha hecho lo que había resuelto,
ha cumplido su palabra
que había empeñado desde antiguo;
ha destruido sin piedad;
ha hecho alegrarse sobre ti al enemigo,
ha exaltado la frente de tus adversarios.
17 Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries.
18 Sade. ¡Clama, pues, al Señor,
muralla de la hija de Sión;
deja correr a torrentes tus lágrimas,
durante día y noche;
no te concedas tregua,
no cese la niña de tu ojo!
18 Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease.
19 Qof. ¡En pie, lanza un grito en la noche,
cuando comienza la ronda;
como agua tu corazón derrama
ante el rostro del Señor,
alza tus manos hacia él
por la vida de tus pequeñuelos
(que de hambre desfallecen
por las esquinas de todas las calles)!
19 Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets.
20 Res. Mira, Yahveh, y considera:
¿a quién has tratado de esta suerte?
¿Tenían las mujeres que comer sus frutos,
a sus niños de pecho?
¿Tenían que ser asesinados en el santuario del Señor
sacerdote y profeta?
20 Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord ?
21 Sin. Por tierra yacen en las calles
niños y ancianos;
mis vírgenes y mis jóvenes
cayeron a cuchillo;
¡has matado en el día de tu cólera,
has inmolado sin piedad!
21 Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity.
22 Tau. Como en día solemne congregaste
por todo el ámbito terrores;
no hubo en el día de la ira de Yahveh
fugitivo ni evadido.
Los que yo había criado y mantenido
mi enemigo los exterminó.
22 Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them.
