Ratapan 5
Ratapan · Lamentations
1Ingatlah, ya TUHAN, apa yang terjadi atas kami, pandanglah dan lihatlah akan kehinaan kami.
1Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; look, and see our disgrace!
2Milik pusaka kami beralih kepada orang lain, rumah-rumah kami kepada orang asing.
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners.
3Kami menjadi anak yatim, tak punya bapa, dan ibu kami seperti janda.
3We have become orphans, fatherless; our mothers are like widows.
4Air kami kami minum dengan membayar, kami mendapat kayu dengan bayaran.
4We must pay for the water we drink; the wood we get must be bought.
5Kami dikejar dekat-dekat, kami lelah, bagi kami tak ada istirahat.
5Our pursuers are at our necks; we are weary; we are given no rest.
6Kami mengulurkan tangan kepada Mesir, dan kepada Asyur untuk menjadi kenyang dengan roti.
6We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria, to get bread enough.
7Bapak-bapak kami berbuat dosa, mereka tak ada lagi, dan kami yang menanggung kedurjanaan mereka.
7Our fathers sinned, and are no more; and we bear their iniquities.
8Pelayan-pelayan memerintah atas kami; yang melepaskan kami dari tangan mereka tak ada.
8Slaves rule over us; there is none to deliver us from their hand.
9Dengan bahaya maut karena serangan pedang di padang gurun, kami harus mengambil makanan kami.
9We get our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness.
10Kulit kami membara laksana perapian, karena nyerinya kelaparan.
10Our skin is hot as an oven with the burning heat of famine.
11Mereka memperkosa wanita-wanita di Sion dan gadis-gadis di kota-kota Yehuda.
11Women are raped in Zion, young women in the towns of Judah.
12Pemimpin-pemimpin digantung oleh tangan mereka, para tua-tua tidak dihormati.
12Princes are hung up by their hands; no respect is shown to the elders.
13Pemuda-pemuda harus memikul batu kilangan, anak-anak terjatuh karena beratnya pikulan kayu.
13Young men are compelled to grind at the mill, and boys stagger under loads of wood.
14Para tua-tua tidak berkumpul lagi di pintu gerbang, para teruna berhenti main kecapi.
14The old men have left the city gate, the young men their music.
15Lenyaplah kegirangan hati kami, tari-tarian kami berubah menjadi perkabungan.
15The joy of our hearts has ceased; our dancing has been turned to mourning.
16Mahkota telah jatuh dari kepala kami. Wahai kami, karena kami telah berbuat dosa!
16The crown has fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned!
17Karena inilah hati kami sakit, karena inilah mata kami jadi kabur:
17For this our heart has become sick, for these things our eyes have grown dim,
18karena bukit Sion yang tandus, di mana anjing-anjing hutan berkeliaran.
18for Mount Zion which lies desolate; jackals prowl over it.
19Engkau, ya TUHAN, bertakhta selama-lamanya, takhta-Mu tetap dari masa ke masa!
19But you, O LORD, reign forever; your throne endures to all generations.
20Mengapa Engkau melupakan kami selama-lamanya, meninggalkan kami demikian lama?
20Why do you forget us forever, why do you forsake us for so many days?
21Bawalah kami kembali kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, maka kami akan kembali, baharuilah hari-hari kami seperti dahulu kala!
21Restore us to yourself, O LORD, that we may be restored! Renew our days as of old--
22Atau, apa Engkau sudah membuang kami sama sekali? Sangat murkakah Engkau terhadap kami?
22unless you have utterly rejected us, and you remain exceedingly angry with us.
