Ninaweza 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?

Lamentations 2:13 in English

Lamentations 2:13 · Berean Standard Bible

What 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?

Context

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? 14Maono ya manabii wako yalikuwa ya uongo na yasiyofaa kitu, hawakuifunua dhambi yako ili kukuzuilia kwenda utumwani. Maneno waliyokupa yalikuwa ya uongo na ya kupotosha. 15Wote wapitiao njia yako wanakupigia makofi, wanakudhihaki na kutikisa vichwa vyao kwa Binti Yerusalemu: “Huu ndio ule mji ulioitwa mkamilifu wa uzuri, furaha ya dunia yote?”
