Georgian term or phrase: არ იყო რამ სიძვის ცოდვა ისე მძიმე, როგორც შვილის მონატრებით გამოწვეული კაეშანი
This is written to intentionally resemble biblical language, but I can't grasp the exact meaning of the first part:
არ იყო რამ სიძვის ცოდვა ისე მძიმე, როგორც...

Does it simply mean "the sin of fornication was not as terrible as the sadness of missing her child"? What does the არ იყო რამ part mean?

Thanks in advance.
