1Hono ʻikai ʻufiʻufi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Saione ʻaki ʻae ʻao ʻi hono houhau! Pea fakahifo mei he langi ki māmani ʻae nāunau ʻo ʻIsileli, pea taʻemanatu ki hono tuʻunga vaʻe ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono houhau!
1How the Lord has covered the Daughter of Zion with the cloud of His anger! He has cast the glory of Israel from heaven to earth. He has abandoned His footstool in the day of His anger.
2Kuo folo hifo ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻo Sēkope, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne manavaʻofa; kuo ne holoki hifo ʻi hono houhau ʻae ngaahi potu mālohi ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Siuta; kuo ne hifo ʻakinautolu ki he kelekele: kuo ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae puleʻanga mo e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo ia.
2Without pity the Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob. In His wrath He has demolished the fortified cities of the Daughter of Judah. He brought to the ground and defiled her kingdom and its princes.
3Kuo ne tutuʻu ʻi hono houhau lahi ʻae nifo kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: kuo ne toʻo ʻa hono nima toʻomataʻu mei he ʻao ʻoe fili, pea ne vela kia Sēkope ʻo hangē ko e afi kakaha, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻauha takatakai.
3In fierce anger He has cut off every horn of Israel and withdrawn His right hand at the approach of the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire that consumes everything around it.
4Kuo ne teke ʻa ʻene kaufana ʻo hangē ha fili: naʻa ne tuʻu mai mo hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hangē ha fili, pea ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe hoihoifua ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: naʻa ne lilingi hono houhau ʻo hangē ko e afi.
4He has bent His bow like an enemy; His right hand is positioned. Like a foe He has killed all who were pleasing to the eye; He has poured out His wrath like fire on the tent of the Daughter of Zion.
5Naʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ke tatau mo e fili: kuo ne folo hifo ʻa ʻIsileli, kuo ne folo hifo ʻa hono ngaahi fale lelei kotoa pē: kuo ne maumauʻi ʻa hono ngaahi potu mālohi, pea kuo ne fakatupu ki he ʻofefine ʻo Saione ʻae mamahi mo e tangi.
5The Lord is like an enemy; He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation for the Daughter of Judah.
6Pea kuo ne ʻave fakamālohi ʻa hono fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa ʻoe ngoue: kuo ne fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi potu ʻoe fakataha: kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova ke ngalo ʻae ngaahi kātoanga mamafa mo e ngaahi ʻaho tapu ʻi Saione, pea kuo ne manuki ʻi hono houhau lahi ʻae tuʻi mo e taulaʻeiki.
6He has laid waste His tabernacle like a garden booth; He has destroyed His place of meeting. The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed feasts and Sabbaths. In His fierce anger He has despised both king and priest.
7Kuo liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono feilaulauʻanga, kuo ne fehiʻa ki hono potu tapu, kuo ne tukuange ki he nima ʻoe fili ʻae ngaahi holisi ʻo hono ngaahi fale lelei; kuo nau mavava ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga mamafa.
7The Lord has rejected His altar; He has abandoned His sanctuary; He has delivered the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of the LORD as on the day of an appointed feast.
8Kuo finangalo ʻa Sihova ke maumau ʻae ʻā ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: kuo ne falō ha afo, naʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi hono nima mei he fakaʻauha: ko ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae tanu mo e ʻā ke tangi; naʻa nau fakaʻaʻau ki mui fakataha.
8The LORD determined to destroy the wall of the Daughter of Zion. He stretched out a measuring line and did not withdraw His hand from destroying. He made the ramparts and walls lament; together they waste away.
9Kuo ngalo hifo ʻi he kelekele ʻa hono ngaahi matapā: kuo ne fesiʻi mo maumauʻi hono ngaahi ʻakau songo; ʻoku ʻi he kakai Senitaile ʻa hono tuʻi mo hono houʻeiki: ʻoku ʻikai ha fono: ko ʻene kau palōfita foki ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻilo ha meʻa hā mai meia Sihova.
9Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and shattered their bars. Her king and her princes are exiled among the nations, the law is no more, and even her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
10ʻOku nofo hifo ʻi he kelekele pea ʻoku longo pe ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: kuo nau pani efu ʻa honau ʻulu; kuo nau fakavala ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae tauangaʻa: ko e kau tāupoʻou ʻo Selūsalema ʻoku nau fakatōmapeʻe honau ʻulu ʻo aʻu ki he kelekele.
10The elders of the Daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The young women of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.
11ʻOku vaivai ʻi he loʻimata ʻa hoku mata, ʻoku ngaue hoku fatu, ʻoku lilingi hoku ʻate ki he kelekele, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai; koeʻuhi ʻoku pongia ʻae tamaiki mo e kau valevale ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe kolo.
11My eyes fail from weeping; I am churning within. My heart is poured out in grief over the destruction of the daughter of my people, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city.
12ʻOku nau pehē ki heʻenau ngaahi faʻē, “Kofaʻā ʻae koane mo e uaine?” ʻI heʻenau pongia ʻo hangē ko e kau kafo ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia naʻe lilingi ai ʻa honau laumālie ki he fatafata ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faʻē.
12They cry out to their mothers: “Where is the grain and wine?” as they faint like the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in the arms of their mothers.
13Ko e hā te u ʻatu ke fakamoʻoni kiate koe? Ko e hā te u fakatātā ʻaki kiate koe ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema? Ko e hā te u fakatatau mo koe, koeʻuhi ke u fakafiemālieʻi koe ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione? He ko hoʻo maumau ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko e lahi: ko hai ʻe fakamoʻui koe?
13What can I say for you? To what can I compare you, O Daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I liken you, that I may console you, O Virgin Daughter of Zion? For your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can ever heal you?
14Kuo ʻilo ʻe hoʻo kau palōfita ʻae ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga mo vale koeʻuhi ko koe: pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā hoʻo kovi koeʻuhi ke fakaʻafeʻi hoʻo pōpula; ka kuo nau ʻilo koeʻuhi ko koe ʻae ngaahi kikite loi, mo ngaahi meʻa fakahē.
14The visions of your prophets were empty and deceptive; they did not expose your guilt to ward off your captivity. The burdens they envisioned for you were empty and misleading.
15ʻOku pasi kiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ange; ʻoku nau ʻisa mo kalokalo honau ʻulu ki he ʻofefine ʻo Selusalema, ʻo nau pehē, “Ko eni koā ʻae kolo ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻe he kakai ko e toulekeleka haohaoa, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻo māmani kotoa pē?”
15All who pass by clap their hands at you in scorn. They hiss and shake their heads at the Daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of all the earth?”
16Kuo fakamanga honau ngutu kiate koe ʻe ho kau fili kotoa pē: ʻoku nau ʻisa pea fengaiʻitaki ʻae nifo: ʻonau pehē, “Kuo tau folo hifo ia: ko e moʻoni ko eni ʻae ʻaho naʻa tau ʻamanaki ki ai kuo tau ʻilo, kuo tau mamata ai.”
16All your enemies open their mouths against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth, saying, “We have swallowed her up. This is the day for which we have waited. We have lived to see it!”
17Kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne filioʻi; kuo ne fakamoʻoni ki heʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa: kuo ne holoki hifo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne manavaʻofa; pea kuo ne pule ke fiefia ho fili kiate koe, kuo ne fokotuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻae nifo ʻo ho kau fili.
17The LORD has done what He planned; He has accomplished His decree, which He ordained in days of old; He has overthrown you without pity. He has let the enemy gloat over you and exalted the horn of your foes.
18Naʻe tangi honau loto kia Sihova, ʻE ʻā ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, tuku ke tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi loʻimata ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ʻo hangē ha vaitafe: ʻoua naʻa ke malolō; ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻe ho kanoʻi mata.
18The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. O wall of the Daughter of Zion, let your tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, and your eyes no rest.
19Tuʻu hake, pea ke kalanga ʻi he pō, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi leʻo, huaʻi ho loto ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki: hiki hake ho nima kiate ia koeʻuhi ke moʻui ʻa hoʻo tamaiki iiki, ʻaia ʻoku mate fiekaia, ʻi he muʻa hala kotoa pē.
19Arise, cry out in the night from the first watch of the night. Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to Him for the lives of your children who are fainting from hunger on the corner of every street.
20“ʻE ʻEiki ke ke vakai pea tokanga kiate kinautolu kuo ke fai pehē ki ai. ʻE kai ʻe he kau fefine ʻa honau fua, mo e tamaiki, ʻoku hanga pe taha ʻa honau lōloa? ʻE mate tāmateʻi, ʻae taulaʻeiki mo e palōfita ʻi he fale tapu ʻo Sihova?
20Look, O LORD, and consider: Whom have You ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the infants they have nurtured? Should priests and prophets be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21“ʻAe kakai talavou mo e mātuʻa ʻoku nau tokoto ʻi he kelekele ʻi he ngaahi hala: kuo tō ʻi he heletā ʻeku kau tāupoʻou mo ʻeku kau talavou: kuo ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ho houhau; kuo ke tāmateʻi pea ʻikai manavaʻofa.
21Both young and old lie together in the dust of the streets. My young men and maidens have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of Your anger; You have slaughtered them without compassion.
22Kuo ke uiuiʻi ʻae ngaahi fakamanavahē ke kāpui au, ʻo hangē ʻi ha ʻaho mamafa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai siʻi ke hao pe toe ha niʻihi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova: ʻakinautolu naʻe fakakofuʻi mo tauhiʻi ʻeau kuo fakaʻauha ʻe he fili.
22You summoned my attackers on every side, as for the day of an appointed feast. In the day of the LORD’s anger no one escaped or survived; my enemy has destroyed those I nurtured and reared.
