Lamentaciones 2
Lutherbibel 1912
1Wie hat der Herr die Tochter Zion mit seinem Zorn überschüttet! Er hat die Herrlichkeit Israels vom Himmel auf die Erde geworfen; er hat nicht gedacht an seinen Fußschemel am Tage seines Zorns.
2Der Herr hat alle Wohnungen Jakobs ohne Barmherzigkeit vertilgt; er hat die Festen der Tochter Juda abgebrochen in seinem Grimm und geschleift; er hat entweiht beide, ihr Königreich und ihre Fürsten.
3Er hat alle Hörner Israels in seinem grimmigen Zorn zerbrochen; er hat seine rechte Hand hinter sich gezogen, da der Feind kam, und hat in Jakob ein Feuer angesteckt, das umher verzehrt.
4Er hat seinen Bogen gespannt wie ein Feind; seine rechte Hand hat er geführt wie ein Widersacher und hat erwürgt alles, was lieblich anzusehen war, und seinen Grimm wie ein Feuer ausgeschüttet in der Hütte der Tochter Zion.
5Der Herr ist gleich wie ein Feind; er hat vertilgt Israel; er hat vertilgt alle ihre Paläste und hat die Festen verderbt; er hat der Tochter Juda viel Klagens und Leides gemacht.
6Er hat sein Gezelt zerwühlt wie einen Garten und seine Wohnung verderbt; der HERR hat zu Zion Feiertag und Sabbat lassen vergessen und in seinem grimmigen Zorn König und Priester schänden lassen.
7Der Herr hat seinen Altar verworfen und sein Heiligtum entweiht; er hat die Mauern ihrer Paläste in des Feindes Hände gegeben, daß sie im Hause des Herrn geschrieen haben wie an einem Feiertag.
8Der HERR hat gedacht zu verderben die Mauer der Tochter Zion; er hat die Richtschnur darübergezogen und seine Hand nicht abgewendet, bis er sie vertilgte; die Zwinger stehen kläglich, und die Mauer liegt jämmerlich.
9Ihre Tore liegen tief in der Erde; er hat die Riegel zerbrochen und zunichte gemacht. Ihr König und ihre Fürsten sind unter den Heiden, wo sie das Gesetz nicht üben können und ihre Propheten kein Gesicht vom HERRN haben.
10Die Ältesten der Tochter Zion liegen auf der Erde und sind still; sie werfen Staub auf ihre Häupter und haben Säcke angezogen; die Jungfrauen von Jerusalem hängen ihr Häupter zur Erde.
11Ich habe schier meine Augen ausgeweint, daß mir mein Leib davon wehe tut; meine Leber ist auf die Erde ausgeschüttet über den Jammer der Tochter meines Volkes, da die Säuglinge und Unmündigen auf den Gassen in der Stadt verschmachteten,
12da sie so zu ihren Müttern sprachen: Wo ist Brot und Wein? da sie auf den Gassen in der Stadt verschmachteten wie die tödlich Verwundeten und in den Armen ihrer Mütter den Geist aufgaben.
13Ach du Tochter Jerusalem, wem soll ich dich vergleichen, und wofür soll ich dich rechnen? Du Jungfrau Tochter Zion, wem soll ich dich vergleichen, damit ich dich trösten möchte? Denn dein Schaden ist groß wie ein Meer; wer kann dich heilen?
14Deine Propheten haben dir lose und törichte Gesichte gepredigt und dir deine Missetat nicht geoffenbart, damit sie dein Gefängnis abgewandt hätten, sondern haben dir gepredigt lose Predigt, damit sie dich zum Lande hinaus predigten.
15Alle, die vorübergehen, klatschen mit den Händen, pfeifen dich an und schütteln den Kopf über die Tochter Jerusalem; Ist das die Stadt, von der man sagt, sie sei die allerschönste, der sich das ganze Land freut?
16Alle deine Feinde sperren ihr Maul auf wider dich, pfeifen dich an, blecken die Zähne und sprechen: He! wir haben sie vertilgt; das ist der Tag, den wir begehrt haben; wir haben's erlangt, wir haben's erlebt.
17Der HERR hat getan, was er vorhatte; er hat sein Wort erfüllt, das er längst zuvor geboten hat; er hat ohne Barmherzigkeit zerstört; er hat den Feind über dich erfreut und deiner Widersacher Horn erhöht.
18Ihr Herz schrie zum Herrn. O du Mauer der Tochter Zion, laß Tag und Nacht Tränen herabfließen wie einen Bach; höre nicht auf, und dein Augapfel lasse nicht ab.
19Stehe des Nachts auf und schreie; schütte dein Herz aus in der ersten Wache gegen den Herrn wie Wasser; hebe deine Hände gegen ihn auf um der Seelen willen deiner jungen Kinder, die vor Hunger verschmachten vorn an allen Gassen!
20HERR, schaue und siehe doch, wen du so verderbt hast! Sollen denn die Weiber ihres Leibes Frucht essen, die Kindlein, so man auf Händen trägt? Sollen denn Propheten und Priester in dem Heiligtum des Herrn erwürgt werden?
21Es lagen in den Gassen auf der Erde Knaben und Alte; meine Jungfrauen und Jünglinge sind durchs Schwert gefallen. Du hast erwürgt am Tage deines Zorns; du hast ohne Barmherzigkeit geschlachtet.
22Du hast meine Feinde umher gerufen wie auf einen Feiertag, daß niemand am Tage des Zorns des HERRN entronnen oder übriggeblieben ist. Die ich auf den Händen getragen und erzogen habe, die hat der Feind umgebracht.
Reina-Valera 1909
1¡CÓMO oscureció el Señor en su furor á la hija de Sión! Derribó del cielo á la tierra la hermosura de Israel, y no se acordó del estrado de sus pies en el día de su ira.
2Destruyó el Señor, y no perdonó; destruyó en su furor todas las tiendas de Jacob: echó por tierra las fortalezas de la hija de Judá, deslustró el reino y sus príncipes.
3Cortó con el furor de su ira todo el cuerno de Israel; hizo volver atrás su diestra delante del enemigo; y encendióse en Jacob como llama de fuego que ha devorado en contorno.
4Entesó su arco como enemigo, afirmó su mano derecha como adversario, y mató toda cosa hermosa á la vista: en la tienda de la hija de Sión derramó como fuego su enojo.
5Fué el Señor como enemigo, destruyó á Israel; destruyó todos sus palacios, disipó sus fortalezas: y multiplicó en la hija de Judá la tristeza y lamento.
6Y quitó su tienda como de un huerto, destruyó el lugar de su congregación: Jehová ha hecho olvidar en Sión solemnidades y sábados, y ha desechado en el furor de su ira rey y sacerdote.
7Desechó el Señor su altar, menospreció su santuario, ha entregado en mano del enemigo los muros de sus palacios: dieron grita en la casa de Jehová como en día de fiesta.
8Jehová determinó destruir el muro de la hija de Sión; extendió el cordel, no retrajo su mano de destruir: hizo pues, se lamentara el antemuro y el muro; fueron destruídos juntamente.
9Sus puertas fueron echadas por tierra, destruyó y quebrantó sus cerrojos: su rey y sus príncipes están entre las gentes donde no hay ley; sus profetas tampoco hallaron visión de Jehová.
10Sentáronse en tierra, callaron los ancianos de la hija de Sión; echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas, ciñéronse de saco; las vírgenes de Jerusalem bajaron sus cabezas á tierra.
11Mis ojos desfallecieron de lágrimas, rugieron mis entrañas, mi hígado se derramó por tierra por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo, cuando desfallecía el niño y el que mamaba, en las plazas de la ciudad.
12Decían á sus madres: ¿Dónde está el trigo y el vino? Desfallecían como heridos en las calles de la ciudad, derramando sus almas en el regazo de sus madres.
13¿Qué testigo te traeré, ó á quién te haré semejante, hija de Jerusalem? ¿A quién te compararé para consolarte, oh virgen hija de Sión? Porque grande es tu quebrantamiento como la mar: ¿quién te medicinará?
14Tus profetas vieron para ti vanidad y locura; y no descubrieron tu pecado para estorbar tu cautiverio, sino que te predicaron vanas profecías y extravíos.
15Todos los que pasaban por el camino, batieron las manos sobre ti; silbaron, y movieron sus cabezas sobre la hija de Jerusalem, diciendo: ¿Es ésta la ciudad que decían de perfecta hermosura, el gozo de toda la tierra?
16Todos tus enemigos abrieron sobre ti su boca, silbaron, y rechinaron los dientes; dijeron: Devoremos: cierto éste es el día que esperábamos; lo hemos hallado, vímoslo.
17Jehová ha hecho lo que tenía determinado, ha cumplido su palabra que él había mandado desde tiempo antiguo: destruyó, y no perdonó; y alegró sobre ti al enemigo, y enalteció el cuerno de tus adversarios.
18El corazón de ellos clamaba al Señor: Oh muro de la hija de Sión, echa lágrimas como un arroyo día y noche; no descanses, ni cesen las niñas de tus ojos.
19Levántate, da voces en la noche, en el principio de las velas; derrama como agua tu corazón ante la presencia del Señor; alza tus manos á él por la vida de tus pequeñitos, que desfallecen de hambre en las entradas de todas las calles.
20Mira, oh Jehová, y considera á quién has hecho así. ¿Han de comer las mujeres su fruto, los pequeñitos de sus crías? ¿Han de ser muertos en el santuario del Señor el sacerdote y el profeta?
21Niños y viejos yacían por tierra en las calles; mis vírgenes y mis mancebos cayeron á cuchillo: mataste en el día de tu furor, degollaste, no perdonaste.
22Has llamado, como á día de solemnidad, mis temores de todas partes; y en el día del furor de Jehová no hubo quien escapase ni quedase vivo: los que crié y mantuve, mi enemigo los acabó.
King James Version
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
World English Bible
1How 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.
2The 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.
3He 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.
4He 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.
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 mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
6He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. The LORD 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.
7The 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 the LORD’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8The LORD 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.
9Her 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 the LORD.
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.
11My 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.
12They 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.
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 as big as the sea. Who can heal you?
14Your 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.
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’?”
16All 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.”
17The LORD 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.
18Their 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.
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, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20“Look, LORD, 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“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“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 the LORD’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
