uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

אֵיכָ֣ה ׀ יָשְׁבָ֣ה בָדָ֗ד הָ⁠עִיר֙ רַבָּ֣תִי עָ֔ם

how (Some words not found in UHB: how sits lonely the=city full_of people she/it_was like,a_widow great_of among,nations princess_of among,provinces she/it_was (into)_forced,labor )

The author is speaking of the city of Jerusalem as if it were a woman who could sit alone in mourning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See the Introduction to Lamentations for further discussion of the term and how to translate it here and throughout this book. Alternate translation: [How the city that was great with people is now deserted]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

הָיְתָ֖ה כְּ⁠אַלְמָנָ֑ה רַּבָּ֣תִי בַ⁠גּוֹיִ֗ם

she/it_was she/it_was (Some words not found in UHB: how sits lonely the=city full_of people she/it_was like,a_widow great_of among,nations princess_of among,provinces she/it_was (into)_forced,labor )

The point of this comparison is that just as a widow is alone, unprotected, and grieving, so is Jerusalem now without allies or support. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [She has become alone and unprotected, though she was once great among the nations]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שָׂרָ֨תִי֙ בַּ⁠מְּדִינ֔וֹת הָיְתָ֖ה לָ⁠מַֽס

(Some words not found in UHB: how sits lonely the=city full_of people she/it_was like,a_widow great_of among,nations princess_of among,provinces she/it_was (into)_forced,labor )

Here the author is speaking as if Jerusalem were a princess who has been reduced to slavery. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [The city that once ruled over the provinces now serves them]
