|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aleph. How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary! | Et factum est, postquam in captivitatem redactus est Israël, et Ierusalem deserta est, sedit Ieremias propheta flens, et planxit lamentatione hac in Ierusalem: et amaro animo suspirans et eiulans, dixit: Aleph Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo! Facta est quasi vidua domina gentium; princeps provinciarum facta est sub tributo. | ΑΛΕΦ. Πῶς ἐκάθισε μόνη ἡ πόλις ἡ πεπληθυμμένη λαῶν; ἐγενήθη ὡς χήρα, πεπληθυμμένη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἄρχουσα ἐν χώραις ἐγενήθη εἰς φόρον. |
| 2 | Beth. Weeping she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies. | Beth Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrimae eius in maxillis eius: non est qui consoletur eam ex omnibus caris eius; omnes amici eius spreverunt eam, et facti sunt ei inimici. | ΒΗΘ. Κλαίουσα ἔκλαυσεν ἐν νυκτὶ, καὶ τὰ δάκρυα αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τῶν σιαγόνων αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρχει ὁ παρακαλῶν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἀγαπώντων αὐτήν· πάντες οἱ φιλοῦντες αὐτὴν ἠθέτησαν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἐγένοντο αὐτῇ εἰς ἐχθρούς. |
| 3 | Ghimel. Juda hath removed her dwelling place because of her affliction, and the greatness of her bondage: she hath dwelt among the nations, and she hath found no rest: all her persecutors have taken her in the midst of straits. | Ghimel Migravit Iudas propter afflictionem, et multitudinem servitutis; habitavit inter gentes, nec invenit requiem: omnes persecutores eius apprehenderunt eam inter angustias. | ΓΙΜΕΛ. Μετῳκίσθη Ἰουδαία ἀπὸ ταπεινώσεως αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ πλήθους δουλείας αὐτῆς· ἐκάθισεν ἐν ἔθνεσιν, οὐχ εὗρεν ἀνάπαυσιν· πάντες οἱ καταδιώκοντες αὐτὴν, κατέλαβον αὐτὴν ἀναμέσον τῶν θλιβόντων. |
| 4 | Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down: her priests sigh: her virgins are in affliction, and she is oppressed with bitterness. | Daleth Viae Sion lugent, eo quod non sint qui veniant ad solemnitatem: omnes portae eius destructae, sacerdotes eius gementes; virgines eius squalidae, et ipsa oppressa amaritudine. | ΔΑΛΕΘ. Ὁδοὶ Σιὼν πενθοῦσι παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἐρχομένους ἐν ἑορτῇ· πᾶσαι αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς ἠφανισμέναι, οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἀναστενάζουσιν, αἱ παρθένοι αὐτῆς ἀγόμεναι, καὶ αὐτὴ πικραινομένη ἐν ἑαυτῇ. |
| 5 | He. Her adversaries are become her lords, her enemies are enriched: because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities: her children are led into captivity: before the face of the oppressor. | He Facti sunt hostes eius in capite; inimici eius locupletati sunt: quia Dominus locutus est super eam propter multitudinem iniquitatum eius. Parvuli eius ducti sunt in captivitatem ante faciem tribulantis. | Η. Ἐγένοντο οἱ θλίβοντες αὐτὴν εἰς κεφαλὴν, καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῆς εὐθηνοῦσαν, ὅτι Κύριος ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῆς· τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ κατὰ πρόσωπον θλίβοντος. |
| 6 | Vau. And from the daughter of Sion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like rams that find no pastures: and they are gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer. | Vau Et egressus est a filia Sion omnis decor eius; facti sunt principes eius velut arietes non invenientes pascua, et abierunt absque fortitudine ante faciem subsequentis. | ΟΥΑΥ. Καὶ ἐξῄρθη ἐκ θυγατρὸς Σιὼν πᾶσα ἡ εὐπρέπεια αὐτῆς· ἐγένοντο οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῆς ὡς κριοὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκοντες νομὴν, καὶ ἐπορεύοντο ἐν οὐκ ἰσχύϊ κατὰ πρόσωπον διώκοντος. |
| 7 | Zain. Jerusalem hath remembered the days of her affliction, and prevarication of all her desirable things which she had from the days of old, when her people fell in the enemy’s hand, and there was no helper: the enemies have seen her, and have mocked at her sabbaths. | Zain Recordata est Ierusalem dierum afflictionis suae, et praevaricationis, omnium desiderabilium suorum, quae habuerat a diebus antiquis, cum caderet populus eius in manu hostili, et non esset auxiliator: viderunt eam hostes, et deriserunt sabbata eius. | ΖΑΙΝ. Ἐμνήσθη Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἡμερῶν ταπεινώσεως αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπωσμῶν αὐτῆς· πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα αὐτῆς ὅσα ἦν ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων, ἐν τῷ πεσεῖν τὸν λαὸν αὐτῆς εἰς χεῖρας θλίβοντος, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν αὐτῇ. ἰδόντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῆς, ἐγέλασαν ἐπὶ κατοικεσίᾳ αὐτῆς. |
| 8 | Heth. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore is she become unstable: all that honoured her have despised her, because they have seen her shame: but she sighed and turned backward. | Heth Peccatum peccavit Ierusalem, propterea instabilis facta est; omnes qui glorificabant eam spreverunt illam, quia viderunt ignominiam eius: ipsa autem gemens conversa est retrorsum. | ΗΘ. Ἁμαρτίαν ἥμαρτεν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, διατοῦτο εἰς σάλον ἐγένετο· πάντες οἱ δοξάζοντες αὐτὴν, ἐταπείνωσαν αὐτήν· εἶδον γὰρ τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην αὐτῆς, καί γε αὐτὴ στενάζουσα καὶ ἀπεστράφη ὀπίσω. |
| 9 | Teth. Her filthiness is on her feet, and she hath not remembered her end: she is wonderfully cast down, not having a comforter: behold, O Lord, my affliction, because the enemy is lifted up. | Teth Sordes eius in pedibus eius, nec recordata est finis sui; deposita est vehementer, non habens consolatorem. Vide, Domine, afflictionem meam, quoniam erectus est inimicus. | ΤΗΘ. Ἀκαθαρσία αὐτῆς πρὸ ποδῶν αὐτῆς· οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ἔσχατα αὐτῆς, καὶ κατεβίβασεν ὑπέρογκα· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ παρακαλῶν αὐτήν. ἴδε Κύριε τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου, ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη ὁ ἐχθρός. |
| 10 | Jod. The enemy hath put out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy church. | Iod Manum suam misit hostis ad omnia desiderabilia eius, quia vidit gentes ingressas sanctuarium suum, de quibus praeceperas ne intrarent in ecclesiam tuam. | ΙΩΔ. Χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐξεπέτασε θλίβων ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα αὐτῆς· εἶδε γὰρ ἔθνη εἰσελθόντα εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτῆς, ἃ ἐνετείλω μὴ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτὰ εἰς ἐκκλησίαν σου. |
| 11 | Caph. All her people sigh, they seek bread: they have given all their precious things for food to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider, for I am become vile. | Caph Omnis populus eius gemens, et quaerens panem; dederunt pretiosa quaeque pro cibo ad refocillandam animam. Vide, Domine, et considera quoniam facta sum vilis! | ΧΑΦ. Πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτῆς καταστενάζοντες, ζητοῦντες ἄρτον· ἔδωκαν τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα αὐτῆς ἐν βρώσει, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι ψυχήν· ἴδε Κύριε καὶ ἐπίβλεψον, ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἠτιμωμένη. |
| 12 | Lamed. O all ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce anger. | Lamed O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus! quoniam vindemiavit me, ut locutus est Dominus, in die irae furoris sui. | ΛΑΜΕΔ. Οἱ πρὸς ὑμᾶς πάντες παραπορευόμενοι ὁδὸν, ἐπιστρέψατε καὶ ἴδετε εἰ ἔστιν ἄλγος κατὰ τὸ ἄλγος μου, ὃ ἐγενήθη· φθεγξάμενος ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐταπείνωσέ με Κύριος ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ. |
| 13 | Mem. From above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the day long. | Mem De excelso misit ignem in ossibus meis, et erudivit me: expandit rete pedibus meis, convertit me retrorsum; posuit me desolatam, tota die moerore confectam. | ΜΗΜ. Ἐξ ὕψους αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλε πῦρ, ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου κατήγαγεν αὐτό· διεπέτασε δίκτυον τοῖς ποσί μου, ἀπέστρεψέ με εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω· ἔδωκέ με ἠφανισμένην, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ὠδυνωμένην. |
| 14 | Nun. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened: the Lord hath delivered me into a hand out of which I am not able to rise. | Nun Vigilavit iugum iniquitatum mearum; in manu eius convolutae sunt, et impositae collo meo. Infirmata est virtus mea: dedit me Dominus in manu de qua non potero surgere. | ΝΟΥΝ. Ἐγρηγορήθη ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματά μου, ἐν χερσί μου συνεπλάκησαν· ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλόν μου· ἠσθένησεν ἡ ἰσχύς μου· ὅτι ἔδωκε Κύριος ἐν χερσί μου ὀδύνας, οὐ δυνήσομαι στῆναι. |
| 15 | Samech. The Lord hath taken away all my mighty men out of the midst of me: he hath called against me the time, to destroy my chosen men: the Lord hath trodden the winepress for the virgin daughter of Juda. | Samech Abstulit omnes magnificos meos Dominus de medio mei; vocavit adversum me tempus ut contereret electos meos. Torcular calcavit Dominus virgini filiae Iuda. | ΣΑΜΕΧ. Ἐξῇρε πάντας τοὺς ἰσχυρούς μου ὁ Κύριος ἐκ μέσου μου, ἐκάλεσεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ καιρὸν τοῦ συντρίψαι ἐκλεκτούς μου· ληνὸν ἐπάτησε Κύριος παρθένῳ θυγατρὶ Ἰούδα· ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐγὼ κλαίω. |
| 16 | Ain. Therefore do I weep, and my eyes run down with water: because the comforter, the relief of my soul, is far from me: my children are desolate because the enemy hath prevailed. | Ain Idcirco ego plorans, et oculus meus deducens aquas, quia longe factus est a me consolator, convertens animam meam. Facti sunt filii mei perditi, quoniam invaluit inimicus. | ΑΙΝ. Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατήγαγεν ὕδωρ, ὅτι ἐμακρύνθη ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ὁ παρακαλῶν με, ὁ ἐπιστρέφων ψυχήν μου· ἐγένοντο οἱ υἱοί μου ἠφανισμένοι, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη ὁ ἐχθρός. |
| 17 | Phe. Sion hath spread forth her hands, there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded against Jacob, his enemies are round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. | Phe Expandit Sion manus suas; non est qui consoletur eam. Mandavit Dominus adversum Iacob in circuitu eius hostes eius; facta est Ierusalem quasi polluta menstruis inter eos. | ΦΗ. Διεπέτασε Σιὼν χεῖρα αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ παρακαλῶν αὐτήν· ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Ἰακὼβ, κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ οἱ θλίβοντες αὐτόν· ἐγενήθη Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς ἀποκαθημένην ἀναμέσον αὐτῶν. |
| 18 | Sade. The Lord is just, for I have provoked his mouth to wrath: hear, I pray you, all ye people, and see my sorrow: my virgins, and my young men are gone into captivity. | Sade Iustus est Dominus, quia os eius ad iracundiam provocavi. Audite, obsecro, universi populi, et videte dolorem meum: virgines meae et iuvenes mei abierunt in captivitatem. | ΤΣΑΔΗ. Δίκαιός ἐστι Κύριος, ὅτι στόμα αὐτοῦ παρεπίκρανα· ἀκούσατε δὴ πάντες οἱ λαοὶ, καὶ ἴδετε τὸ ἄλγος μου· παρθένοι μου καὶ νεανίσκοι μου ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ. |
| 19 | Coph. I called for my friends, but they deceived me: my priests and my ancients pined away in the city: while they sought their food, to relieve their souls. | Coph Vocavi amicos meos, et ipsi deceperunt me; sacerdotes mei et senes mei in urbe consumpti sunt, quia quaesierunt cibum sibi ut refocillarent animam suam. | ΚΩΦ. Ἐκάλεσα τοὺς ἐραστάς μου, αὐτοὶ δὲ παρελογίσαντό με· οἱ ἱερεῖς μου καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροί μου ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐξέλιπον, ὅτι ἐζήτησαν βρῶσιν αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἐπιστρέψωσι ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον. |
| 20 | Res. Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled: my heart is turned within me, for I am full of bitterness: abroad the sword destroyeth, and at home there is death alike. | Res Vide, Domine, quoniam tribulor: conturbatus est venter meus, subversum est cor meum in memetipsa, quoniam amaritudine plena sum. Foris interfecit gladius, et domi mors similis est. | ΡΗΧΣ. Ἴδε, Κύριε, ὅτι θλίβομαι, ἡ κοιλία μου ἐταράχθη, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐστράφη ἐν ἐμοὶ, ὅτι παραπικραίνουσα παρεπικράνθην, ἔξωθεν ἠτέκνωσέ με μάχαιρα, ὥσπερ θάνατος ἐν οἴκῳ. |
| 21 | Sin. They have heard that I sigh, and there is none to comfort me: all my enemies have heard of my evil, they have rejoiced that thou hast done it: thou hast brought a day of consolation, and they shall be like unto me. | Sin Audierunt quia ingemisco ego, et non est qui consoletur me; omnes inimici mei audierunt malum meum, laetati sunt quoniam tu fecisti: adduxisti diem consolationis, et fient similes mei. | ΧΣΕΝ. Ακούσατε δὴ, ὅτι στενάζω ἐγὼ, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ παρακαλῶν με· πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου ἤκουσαν τὰ κακά μου, καὶ ἐχάρησαν, ὅτι σὺ ἐποίησας· ἐπήγαγες ἡμέραν, ἐκάλεσας καιρὸν, ἐγένοντο ὅμοιοι ἐμοί. |
| 22 | Thau. Let all their evil be present before thee: and make vintage of them, as thou hast made vintage of me for all my iniquities: for my sighs are many, and my heart is sorrowful. | Thau Ingrediatur omne malum eorum coram te: et vindemia eos, sicut vindemiasti me propter omnes iniquitates meas: multi enim gemitus mei, et cor meum moerens. | ΘΑΥ. Εἰσέλθοι πᾶσα ἡ κακία αὐτῶν κακὰ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ ἐπιφύλλισον αὐτοῖς, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν ἐπιφυλλίδα περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων μου, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ στεναγμοί μου, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου λυπεῖται. |
