OET interlinear LAM 1:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

צַדִּ֥יק ה֛וּא יְהוָ֖ה כִּ֣י פִ֣י⁠הוּ מָרִ֑יתִי

(Some words not found in UHB: law-abiding/just he/it YHWH that/for/because/then/when mouth_of,his rebelled_against hear now all the,peoples and,see pain_of,my women_of,my_young and,my_young_of,men gone in,captivity )

It would be good to present verse18 through verse22 as a direct quotation, if possible, to show that the city of Jerusalem is speaking. In [verses18–19], Jerusalem speaks to passers–by, and in [20–22] she speaks directly to Yahweh.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּ֣י פִ֣י⁠הוּ מָרִ֑יתִי

(Some words not found in UHB: law-abiding/just he/it YHWH that/for/because/then/when mouth_of,his rebelled_against hear now all the,peoples and,see pain_of,my women_of,my_young and,my_young_of,men gone in,captivity )

Here, his mouth represents his commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [for I have rebelled against his commands]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

כָל־עמים

all the,peoples

Jerusalem is speaking to all peoples. She is doing this to communicate to the people listening that she feels very strongly about her suffering. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words as if she were speaking directly to the people as in the UST.
