Lamentations 3: Douay-Rheims and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation.ΑΛΕΦ. Ἐγὼ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν, ἐν ῥάβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμέ.
2Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light.Παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος, καὶ οὐ φῶς.
3Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.Πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
4Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν.
5Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall and labour.ΒΗΘ. Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου, καὶ ἐμόχθησεν·
6Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος.
7Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy.Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου.
8Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer.ΓΙΜΕΛ. Καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου.
9Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down.ΔΑΛΕΘ. Ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου,
10Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places.ἐτάραξεν ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα, αὐτός μοι λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις,
11Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate.κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα, καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην.
12Daleth. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for his arrows.Η. Ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος.
13He. He hath shot into my reins the daughters of his quiver.Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ.
14He. I am made a derision to all my people, their song all the day long.Ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
15He. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath inebriated me with wormwood.ΟΥΑΥ. Ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς,
16Vau. And he hath broken my teeth one by one, he hath fed me with ashes.καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου· ἐψώμισέ με σποδὸν,
17Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten good things.καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου· ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά.
18Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord.Καὶ ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
19Zain. Remember my poverty, and transgression, the wormwood, and the gall.ΖΑΙΝ. Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου, καὶ ἐκ διωγμοῦ πικρία καὶ χολή μου μνησθήσεται,
20Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish within me.καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου.
21Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope.Ταύτην τάξω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου, διατοῦτο ὑπομενῶ. ΗΘ. Τὰ ἐλέη Κυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπέ με, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ· μῆνας εἰς τὰς πρωΐας ἐλέησον Κύριε, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθημεν, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ. Καινὰ εἰς τὰς πρωΐας, πολλὴ ἡ πίστις σου. Μερίς μου Κύριος, εἶπεν ἡ ψυχή μου· διατοῦτο ὑπομενῶ αὐτῷ·
22Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because his commiserations have not failed.—
23Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.—
24Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait for him.—
25Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him.ΤΗΘ. Ἀγαθὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτὸν, ψυχὴ ἣ ζητήσει αὐτὸν, ἀγαθόν·
26Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God.καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, καὶ ἡσυχάσει εἰς τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου.
27Teth. It is good for a man, when he hath borne the yoke from his youth.ΤΗΘ. Ἀγαθὸν ἀνδρὶ, ὅταν ἄρῃ ζυγὸν ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ,
28Jod. He shall sit solitary, and hold his peace: because he hath taken it up upon himself.καθήσεται κατὰ μόνας, καὶ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι ᾖρεν ἐφʼ ἑαυτῷ.
29Jod. He shall put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.—
30Jod. He shall give his cheek to him that striketh him, he shall be filled with reproaches.ΙΩΔ. Δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν·
31Caph. For the Lord will not cast off for ever.Ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος.
32Caph. For if he hath cast off, he will also have mercy, according to the multitude of his mercies.ΧΑΦ. Ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ,
33Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the children of men.οὐκ ἀπεκριθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός.
34Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,ΛΑΜΕΔ. Τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πάντας δεσμίους γῆς,
35Lamed. To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the most High,τοῦ ἐκκλίναι κρίσιν ἀνδρὸς κατέναντι προσώπου ὑψίστου,
36Lamed. To destroy a man wrongfully in his judgment, the Lord hath not approved.καταδικάσαι ἄνθρωπον ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν, Κύριος οὐκ εἶπε.
37Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the Lord commandeth it not?Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο.
38Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest?Ἐκ στόματος ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν.
39Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins?ΜΗΜ. Τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;
40Nun. Let us search our ways, and seek, and return to the Lord.ΝΟΥΝ. Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, καὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου.
41Nun. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to the Lord in the heavens.Ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ.
42Nun. We have done wickedly, and provoked thee to wrath: therefore thou art inexorable.Ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης.
43Samech. Thou hast covered in thy wrath, and hast struck us: thou hast killed and hast not spared.ΣΑΜΕΧ. Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν ʼθυμῷ, καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς, ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
44Samech. Thou hast set a cloud before thee, that our prayer may not pass through.Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕινεκεν προσευχῆς,
45Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people.καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι. ΑΙΝ. Ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν.
46Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.Διήνοιξαν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν.
47Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and destruction.Φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή.
48Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.Ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
49Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there was no rest:ΦΗ. Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν,
50Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens.ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.
51Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city.Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως.
52Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without cause.ΤΣΑΔΗ. Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον· πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεὰν
53Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone over me.ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν λάκκῳ ζωήν μου, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν λίθον ἐπʼ ἐμοί.
54Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off.Ὑπερεχύθη ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου· εἶπα, ἄπωσμαι.
55Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit.ΚΩΦ. Ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε, ἐκ λάκκου κατωτάτου·
56Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my sighs, and cries.Φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου·
57Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou saidst: Fear not.Εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας· ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε εἶπάς μοι, μὴ φοβοῦ.
58Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life.ΡΗΧΣ. Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου.
59Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou my judgment.Ἴδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου.
60Res. Thou hast seen all their fury, and all their thoughts against me.Εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν, εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί.
61Sin. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, all their imaginations against me.ΧΣΕΝ. Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατʼ ἐμοῦ,
62Sin. The lips of them that rise up against me: and their devices against me all the day.χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι, καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατʼ ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
63Sin. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up, I am their song.καθέδραν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
64Thau. Thou shalt render them a recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands.Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
65Thau. Thou shalt give them a buckler of heart, thy labour.ΘΑΥ. Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν, καρδίας μου μόχθον.
66Thau. Thou shalt persecute them in anger, and shalt destroy them from under the heavens, O Lord.Σὺ αὐτοὺς καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ, καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
