“Hii ndiyo sababu ninalia na macho yangu yanafurika machozi. Hakuna yeyote aliye karibu kunifariji, hakuna yeyote wa kuhuisha roho yangu. Watoto wangu ni wakiwa kwa sababu adui ameshinda.”

Lamentations 1:16 in English

Lamentations 1:16 · Berean Standard Bible

For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.

Context

14“Dhambi zangu zimefungwa kwenye nira, kwa mikono yake zilifumwa pamoja. Zimefika shingoni mwangu na Bwana ameziondoa nguvu zangu. Amenitia mikononi mwa wale ambao siwezi kushindana nao. 15“Bwana amewakataa wapiganaji wa vita wote walio kati yangu, ameagiza jeshi dhidi yangu kuwaponda vijana wangu wa kiume. Katika shinikizo lake la divai Bwana amemkanyaga Bikira Binti Yuda. 16“Hii ndiyo sababu ninalia na macho yangu yanafurika machozi. Hakuna yeyote aliye karibu kunifariji, hakuna yeyote wa kuhuisha roho yangu. Watoto wangu ni wakiwa kwa sababu adui ameshinda.” 17Sayuni ananyoosha mikono yake, lakini hakuna yeyote wa kumfariji. Bwana ametoa amri kwa ajili ya Yakobo kwamba majirani zake wawe adui zake; Yerusalemu umekuwa kitu najisi miongoni mwao. 18“Bwana ni mwenye haki, hata hivyo niliasi dhidi ya amri yake. Sikilizeni, enyi mataifa yote, tazameni maumivu yangu. Wavulana wangu na wasichana wangu wamekwenda uhamishoni.
