|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aleph. How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger! | Aleph Quomodo obtexit caligine in furore suo Dominus filiam Sion; proiecit de caelo in terram inclytam Israël, et non est recordatus scabelli pedum suorum in die furoris sui! | ΑΛΕΦ. Πῶς ἐγνόφωσεν ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ Κύριος τὴν θυγατέρα Σιών; κατέῤῥιψεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εἰς γῆν δόξασμα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ὑποποδίου ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. |
| 2 | Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof. | Beth Praecipitavit Dominus, nec pepercit omnia speciosa Iacob: destruxit in furore suo munitiones virginis Iuda, et deiecit in terram; polluit regnum et principes eius. | ΒΗΘ. Ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ κατεπόντισε Κύριος, οὐ φεισάμενος· πάντα τὰ ὡραῖα Ἰακὼβ καθεῖλεν ἐν θυμῷ αὐτοῦ, τὰ ὀχυρώματα τῆς θυγατρὸς Ἰούδα ἐκόλλησεν εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἐβεβήλωσε βασιλέα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς. |
| 3 | Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about. | Ghimel Confregit in ira furoris sui omne cornu Israël; avertit retrorsum dexteram suam a facie inimici, et succendit in Iacob quasi ignem flammae devorantis in gyro. | ΓΙΜΕΛ. Συνέκλασεν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ πᾶν κέρας Ἰσραὴλ, ἀπέστρεψεν ὀπίσω δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ, καὶ ἀνῆψεν ἐν Ἰακὼβ ὡς πῦρ φλόγα, καὶ κατέφαγε πάντα τὰ κύκλῳ. |
| 4 | Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his indignation like fire. | Daleth Tetendit arcum suum quasi inimicus, firmavit dexteram suam quasi hostis, et occidit omne quod pulchrum erat visu in tabernaculo filiae Sion; effudit quasi ignem indignationem suam. | ΔΑΛΕΘ. Ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐχθρὸς ὑπεναντίος, ἐστερέωσε δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ὡς ὑπεναντίος, καὶ ἀπέκτεινε πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου ἐν σκηνῇ θυγατρὸς Σιὼν, ἐξέχεεν ὡς πῦρ τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ. |
| 5 | He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women. | He Factus est Dominus velut inimicus, praecipitavit Israël: praecipitavit omnia moenia eius, dissipavit munitiones eius, et replevit in filia Iuda humiliatum et humiliatam. | Η. Ἐγενήθη Κύριος ὡς ἐχθρὸς, κατεπόντισεν Ἰσραὴλ, κατεπόντισε τὰς βάρεις αὐτῆς, διέφθειρε τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπλήθυνε τῇ θυγατρὶ Ἰούδα ταπεινουμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην. |
| 6 | Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath. | Vau Et dissipavit quasi hortum tentorium suum; demolitus est tabernaculum suum. Oblivioni tradidit Dominus in Sion festivitatem et sabbatum; et in opprobrium, et in indignationem furoris sui, regem et sacerdotem. | ΟΥΑΥ. Καὶ διεπέτασεν ὡς ἄμπελον τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ, διέφθειρεν ἑορτὴν αὐτοῦ· ἐπελάθετο Κύριος ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Σιὼν ἑορτῆς καὶ σαββάτου, καὶ παρώξυνεν ἐμβριμήματι ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλέα καὶ ἱερέα καὶ ἄρχοντα. |
| 7 | Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast. | Zain Repulit Dominus altare suum; maledixit sanctificationi suae: tradidit in manu inimici muros turrium eius. Vocem dederunt in domo Domini sicut in die solemni. | ΖΑΙΝ. Ἀπώσατο Κύριος θυσιαστήριον αὐτοῦ, ἀπετίναξεν ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, συνέτριψεν ἐν χειρὶ ἐχθροῦ τεῖχος βάρεων αὐτῆς· φωνὴν ἔδωκαν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑορτῆς. |
| 8 | Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together. | Heth Cogitavit Dominus dissipare murum filiae Sion; tetendit funiculum suum, et non avertit manum suam a perditione: luxitque antemurale, et murus pariter dissipatus est. | ΗΘ. Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε διαφθεῖραι τείχος θυγατρὸς Σιών· ἐξέτεινε μέτρον, οὐκ ἀπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ καταπατήματος, καὶ ἐπένθησε τὸ προτείχισμα, καὶ τεῖχος ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἠσθένησεν. |
| 9 | Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord. | Teth Defixae sunt in terra portae eius, perdidit et contrivit vectes eius; regem eius et principes eius in gentibus: non est lex, et prophetae eius non invenerunt visionem a Domino. | ΤΗΘ. Ἐνεπάγησαν εἰς γῆν πύλαι αὐτῆς, ἀπώλεσε καὶ συνέτριψε μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς, βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ ἄρχοντα αὐτῆς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· οὐκ ἔστι νόμος, καί γε προφῆται αὐτῆς οὐκ εἶδον ὅρασιν παρὰ Κυρίου. |
| 10 | Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. | Iod Sederunt in terra, conticuerunt senes filiae Sion; consperserunt cinere capita sua, accincti sunt ciliciis: abiecerunt in terram capita sua virgines Ierusalem. | ΙΩΔ. Ἐκάθισαν εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἐσιώπησαν πρεσβύτεροι θυγατρὸς Σιὼν, ἀνεβίβασαν χοῦν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν, περιεζώσαντο σάκκους, κατήγαγον εἰς γῆν ἀρχηγοὺς παρθένους ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ. |
| 11 | Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city. | Caph Defecerunt prae lacrimis oculi mei, conturbata sunt viscera mea; effusum est in terra iecur meum super contritione filiae populi mei, cum deficeret parvulus et lactens in plateis oppidi. | ΧΑΦ. Ἐξέλιπον ἐν δάκρυσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου, ἐξεχύθη εἰς τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα μου, ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου, ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν νήπιον καὶ θηλάζοντα ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως. |
| 12 | Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers. | Lamed Matribus suis dixerunt: Ubi est triticum et vinum? cum deficerent quasi vulnerati in plateis civitatis, cum exhalarent animas suas in sinu matrum suarum. | ΛΑΜΕΔ. Ταῖς μητράσιν αὐτῶν εἶπαν, ποῦ σῖτος, καὶ οἶνος; ἐν τῷ ἐκλύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ὡς τραυματίας ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως, ἐν τῷ ἐκχεῖσθαι ψυχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς κόλπον μητέρων αὐτῶν. |
| 13 | Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee? | Mem Cui comparabo te, vel cui assimilabo te, filia Ierusalem? cui exaequabo te, et consolabor te, virgo, filia Sion? magna est enim velut mare contritio tua: quis medebitur tui? | ΜΗΜ. Τί μαρτυρήσω σοι, ἢ τί ὁμοιώσω σοι, θύγατερ Ἱερουσαλήμ; τίς σώσει καὶ παρακαλέσει σε, παρθένος θύγατερ Σιών; ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη ποτήριον συντριβῆς σου, τίς ἰάσεταί σε; |
| 14 | Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments. | Nun Prophetae tui viderunt tibi falsa et stulta; nec aperiebant iniquitatem tuam, ut te ad poenitentiam provocarent; viderunt autem tibi assumptiones falsas, et eiectiones. | ΝΟΥΝ. Προφῆταί σου εἴδοσάν σοι μάταια καὶ ἀφροσύνην, καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψαν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀδικίαν σου, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι αἰχμαλωσίαν σου, καὶ εἴδοσάν σοι λήμματα μάταια καὶ ἐξώσματα. |
| 15 | Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth? | Samech Plauserunt super te manibus omnes transeuntes per viam; sibilaverunt et moverunt caput suum super filiam Ierusalem: Haeccine est urbs, dicentes, perfecti decoris, gaudium universae terrae? | ΣΑΜΕΧ. Ἐκρότησαν ἐπὶ σὲ χεῖρας πάντες οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ὁδὸν, ἐσύρισαν καὶ ἐκίνησαν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Ἱερουσαλήμ. Αὕτη ἡ πόλις, ἐροῦσι, στέφανος εὐφροσύνης πάσης τῆς γῆς; |
| 16 | Phe. All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we have seen it. | Phe Aperuerunt super te os suum omnes inimici tui: sibilaverunt, et fremuerunt dentibus, et dixerunt: Devorabimus: en ista est dies quam exspectabamus; invenimus, vidimus. | ΑΙΝ. Διήνοιξαν ἐπὶ σὲ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου, ἐσυρίσαν καὶ ἔβρυξαν ὀδόντας, καὶ εἶπαν, κατεπίομεν αὐτήν· πλὴν αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα ἣν προσεδοκῶμεν, εὕρομεν αὐτὴν, εἴδομεν. |
| 17 | Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries. | Ain Fecit Dominus quae cogitavit; complevit sermonem suum, quem praeceperat a diebus antiquis: destruxit, et non pepercit, et laetificavit super te inimicum, et exaltavit cornu hostium tuorum. | ΦΗ. Ἐποίησε Κύριος ἃ ἐνεθυμήθη, συνετέλεσε ῥῆμα αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐνετείλατο ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων· καθεῖλε, καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, καὶ ηὔφρανεν ἐπὶ σὲ ἐχθρὸν, ὕψωσε κέρας θλίβοντός σε. |
| 18 | Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease. | Sade Clamavit cor eorum ad Dominum super muros filiae Sion: Deduc quasi torrentem lacrimas per diem et noctem; non des requiem tibi, neque taceat pupilla oculi tui. | ΤΣΑΔΗ. Ἐβόησε καρδία αὐτῶν πρὸς Κύριον, τείχη Σιὼν καταγάγετε ὡς χειμάῤῥους δάκρυα ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός· μὴ δῷς ἔκνηψιν σεαυτῇ, μὴ σιωπήσαιτο θυγάτηρ ὀφθαλμῶν σου. |
| 19 | Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets. | Coph Consurge, lauda in nocte, in principio vigiliarum; effunde sicut aquam cor tuum ante conspectum Domini: leva ad eum manus tuas pro anima parvulorum tuorum, qui defecerunt in fame in capite omnium compitorum. | ΚΩΦ. Ἀνάστα, ἀγαλλίασαι ἐν νυκτὶ εἰς ἀρχὰς φυλακῆς σου, ἔκχεον ὡς ὕδωρ καρδίαν σου ἀπέναντι προσώπου Κυρίου, ἆρον πρὸς αὐτὸν χεῖράς σου περὶ ψυχῆς νηπίων σου, τῶν ἐκλυομένων λιμῷ ἐπʼ ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων. |
| 20 | Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? | Res Vide, Domine, et considera quem vindemiaveris ita. Ergone comedent mulieres fructum suum, parvulos ad mensuram palmae? si occiditur in sanctuario Domini sacerdos et propheta? | ΡΗΧΣ. Ἴδε Κύριε καὶ ἐπίβλεψον τίνι ἐπεφύλλισας οὕτως· εἰ φάγονται γυναῖκες καρπὸν κοιλίας αὐτῶν; ἐπιφυλλίδα ἐποίησε μάγειρος, φονευθήσονται νήπια θηλάζοντα μαστούς; ἀποκτενεῖς ἐν ἁγιάσματι Κυρίου ἱερέα καὶ προφήτην; |
| 21 | Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity. | Sin Iacuerunt in terra foris puer et senex; virgines meae et iuvenes mei ceciderunt in gladio: interfecisti in die furoris tui, percussisti, nec misertus es. | ΧΣΕΝ. Ἐκοιμήθησαν εἰς τὴν ἔξοδον παιδάριον καὶ πρεσβύτης· παρθένοι μου καὶ νεανίσκοι μου ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἀπέκτεινας, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς σου ἐμαγείρευσας, οὐκ ἐφείσω. |
| 22 | Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them. | Thau Vocasti quasi ad diem solemnem, qui terrerent me de circuitu; et non fuit in die furoris Domini qui effugeret, et relinqueretur: quos educavi et enutrivi, inimicus meus consumpsit eos. | ΘΑΥ. Ἐκάλεσεν ἡμέραν ἑορτῆς παροικίας μου κυκλόθεν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγένοντο ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς Κυρίου ἀνασωζόμενος καὶ καταλελειμμένος, ὡς ἐπεκράτησα, καὶ ἐπλήθυνα ἐχθρούς μου πάντας. |
