תְּשֻׁא֣וֹת ׀ מְלֵאָ֗ה עִ֚יר הֽוֹמִיָּ֔ה קִרְיָ֖ה עַלִּיזָ֑ה חֲלָלַ֙יִךְ֙ לֹ֣א חַלְלֵי־חֶ֔רֶב וְלֹ֖א מֵתֵ֥י מִלְחָמָֽה׃
Engkau yang dahulu penuh keriuhan, kota yang ramai bergemuruh, kota yang bersukaria! Orang-orangmu yang tewas bukanlah mereka yang tewas oleh pedang, dan bukan pula yang gugur dalam peperangan.
Rashi
full of clamor A city that was full of clamor, the voice of many people, tumultuous and happy, now, what ails you that you mourn?
Rashi
your fallen have not fallen by the sword It would have been better had they fallen by the sword than now that they have perished by hunger.
