Macho yangu yamedhoofika kwa kulia, nina maumivu makali ndani, moyo wangu umemiminwa ardhini kwa sababu watu wangu wameangamizwa, kwa sababu watoto na wanyonyao wanazimia kwenye barabara za mji.

Lamentations 2:11 in English

Lamentations 2:11 · Berean Standard Bible

My 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.

Context

9Malango yake yamezama ardhini, makomeo yake ameyavunja na kuyaharibu. Mfalme wake na wakuu wake wamepelekwa uhamishoni miongoni mwa mataifa, sheria haipo tena, na manabii wake hawapati tena maono kutoka kwa Bwana. 10Wazee wa Binti Sayuni wanaketi chini kimya, wamenyunyiza mavumbi kwenye vichwa vyao na kuvaa nguo za gunia. Wanawali wa Yerusalemu wamesujudu hadi ardhini. 11Macho yangu yamedhoofika kwa kulia, nina maumivu makali ndani, moyo wangu umemiminwa ardhini kwa sababu watu wangu wameangamizwa, kwa sababu watoto na wanyonyao wanazimia kwenye barabara za mji. 12Wanawaambia mama zao, “Wapi mkate na divai?” wazimiapo kama watu waliojeruhiwa katika barabara za mji, maisha yao yadhoofikavyo mikononi mwa mama zao. 13Ninaweza kusema nini kwa ajili yako? Nikulinganishe na nini, ee Binti Yerusalemu? Nitakufananisha na nini, ili nipate kukufariji, ee Bikira Binti Sayuni? Jeraha lako lina kina kama bahari. Ni nani awezaye kukuponya?
