|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation. | Aleph Ego vir videns paupertatem meam in virga indignationis eius. | ΑΛΕΦ. Ἐγὼ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν, ἐν ῥάβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμέ. |
| 2 | Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light. | Aleph Me minavit, et adduxit in tenebras, et non in lucem. | Παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος, καὶ οὐ φῶς. |
| 3 | Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day. | Aleph Tantum in me vertit et convertit manum suam tota die. | Πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, |
| 4 | Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones. | Beth Vetustam fecit pellem meam et carnem meam; contrivit ossa mea. | ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν. |
| 5 | Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall and labour. | Beth Aedificavit in gyro meo, et circumdedit me felle et labore. | ΒΗΘ. Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου, καὶ ἐμόχθησεν· |
| 6 | Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever. | Beth In tenebrosis collocavit me, quasi mortuos sempiternos. | ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος. |
| 7 | Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy. | Ghimel Circumaedificavit adversum me, ut non egrediar; aggravavit compedem meum. | Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου. |
| 8 | Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer. | Ghimel Sed et cum clamavero, et rogavero, exclusit orationem meam. | ΓΙΜΕΛ. Καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου. |
| 9 | Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down. | Ghimel Conclusit vias meas lapidibus quadris; semitas meas subvertit. | ΔΑΛΕΘ. Ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου, |
| 10 | Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places. | Daleth Ursus insidians factus est mihi, leo in absconditis. | ἐτάραξεν ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα, αὐτός μοι λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις, |
| 11 | Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate. | Daleth Semitas meas subvertit, et confregit me; posuit me desolatam. | κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα, καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην. |
| 12 | Daleth. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for his arrows. | Daleth Tetendit arcum suum, et posuit me quasi signum ad sagittam. | Η. Ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος. |
| 13 | He. He hath shot into my reins the daughters of his quiver. | He Misit in renibus meis filias pharetrae suae. | Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ. |
| 14 | He. I am made a derision to all my people, their song all the day long. | He Factus sum in derisum omni populo meo, canticum eorum tota die. | Ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν. |
| 15 | He. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath inebriated me with wormwood. | He Replevit me amaritudinibus; inebriavit me absinthio. | ΟΥΑΥ. Ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς, |
| 16 | Vau. And he hath broken my teeth one by one, he hath fed me with ashes. | Vau Et fregit ad numerum dentes meos; cibavit me cinere. | καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου· ἐψώμισέ με σποδὸν, |
| 17 | Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten good things. | Vau Et repulsa est a pace anima mea; oblitus sum bonorum. | καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου· ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά. |
| 18 | Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord. | Vau Et dixi: Periit finis meus, et spes mea a Domino. | Καὶ ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου. |
| 19 | Zain. Remember my poverty, and transgression, the wormwood, and the gall. | Zain Recordare paupertatis, et transgressionis meae, absinthii et fellis. | ΖΑΙΝ. Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου, καὶ ἐκ διωγμοῦ πικρία καὶ χολή μου μνησθήσεται, |
| 20 | Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish within me. | Zain Memoria memor ero, et tabescet in me anima mea. | καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου. |
| 21 | Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope. | Zain Haec recolens in corde meo, ideo sperabo. | 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· |
| 22 | Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because his commiserations have not failed. | Heth Misericordiae Domini, quia non sumus consumpti; quia non defecerunt miserationes eius. | — |
| 23 | Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness. | Heth Novi diluculo, multa est fides tua. | — |
| 24 | Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait for him. | Heth Pars mea Dominus, dixit anima mea; propterea exspectabo eum. | — |
| 25 | Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him. | Teth Bonus est Dominus sperantibus in eum, animae quaerenti illum. | ΤΗΘ. Ἀγαθὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτὸν, ψυχὴ ἣ ζητήσει αὐτὸν, ἀγαθόν· |
| 26 | Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God. | Teth Bonum est praestolari cum silentio salutare Dei. | καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, καὶ ἡσυχάσει εἰς τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου. |
| 27 | Teth. It is good for a man, when he hath borne the yoke from his youth. | Teth Bonum est viro cum portaverit iugum ab adolescentia sua. | ΤΗΘ. Ἀγαθὸν ἀνδρὶ, ὅταν ἄρῃ ζυγὸν ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ, |
| 28 | Jod. He shall sit solitary, and hold his peace: because he hath taken it up upon himself. | Iod Sedebit solitarius, et tacebit, quia levavit super se. | καθήσεται κατὰ μόνας, καὶ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι ᾖρεν ἐφʼ ἑαυτῷ. |
| 29 | Jod. He shall put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope. | Iod Ponet in pulvere os suum, si forte sit spes. | — |
| 30 | Jod. He shall give his cheek to him that striketh him, he shall be filled with reproaches. | Iod Dabit percutienti se maxillam: saturabitur opprobriis. | ΙΩΔ. Δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν· |
| 31 | Caph. For the Lord will not cast off for ever. | Caph Quia non repellet in sempiternum Dominus. | Ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος. |
| 32 | Caph. For if he hath cast off, he will also have mercy, according to the multitude of his mercies. | Caph Quia si abiecit, et miserebitur, secundum multitudinem misericordiarum suarum. | ΧΑΦ. Ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ, |
| 33 | Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the children of men. | Caph Non enim humiliavit ex corde suo et abiecit filios hominum. | οὐκ ἀπεκριθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός. |
| 34 | Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land, | Lamed Ut conteret sub pedibus suis omnes vinctos terrae. | ΛΑΜΕΔ. Τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πάντας δεσμίους γῆς, |
| 35 | Lamed. To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the most High, | Lamed Ut declinaret iudicium viri in conspectu vultus Altissimi. | τοῦ ἐκκλίναι κρίσιν ἀνδρὸς κατέναντι προσώπου ὑψίστου, |
| 36 | Lamed. To destroy a man wrongfully in his judgment, the Lord hath not approved. | Lamed Ut perverteret hominem in iudicio suo; Dominus ignoravit. | καταδικάσαι ἄνθρωπον ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν, Κύριος οὐκ εἶπε. |
| 37 | Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the Lord commandeth it not? | Mem Quis est iste qui dixit ut fieret, Domino non iubente? | Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο. |
| 38 | Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest? | Mem Ex ore Altissimi non egredientur nec mala nec bona? | Ἐκ στόματος ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν. |
| 39 | Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins? | Mem Quid murmuravit homo vivens, vir pro peccatis suis? | ΜΗΜ. Τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ; |
| 40 | Nun. Let us search our ways, and seek, and return to the Lord. | Nun Scrutemur vias nostras, et quaeramus, et revertamur ad Dominum. | ΝΟΥΝ. Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, καὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου. |
| 41 | Nun. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to the Lord in the heavens. | Nun Levemus corda nostra cum manibus ad Dominum in caelos. | Ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ. |
| 42 | Nun. We have done wickedly, and provoked thee to wrath: therefore thou art inexorable. | Nun Nos inique egimus, et ad iracundiam provocavimus; idcirco tu inexorabilis es. | Ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης. |
| 43 | Samech. Thou hast covered in thy wrath, and hast struck us: thou hast killed and hast not spared. | Samech Operuisti in furore, et percussisti nos; occidisti, nec pepercisti. | ΣΑΜΕΧ. Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν ʼθυμῷ, καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς, ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω. |
| 44 | Samech. Thou hast set a cloud before thee, that our prayer may not pass through. | Samech Opposuisti nubem tibi, ne transeat oratio. | Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕινεκεν προσευχῆς, |
| 45 | Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people. | Samech Eradicationem et abiectionem posuisti me in medio populorum. | καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι. ΑΙΝ. Ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν. |
| 46 | Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. | Phe Aperuerunt super nos os suum omnes inimici. | Διήνοιξαν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν. |
| 47 | Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and destruction. | Phe Formido et laqueus facta est nobis vaticinatio, et contritio. | Φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή. |
| 48 | Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. | Phe Divisiones aquarum deduxit oculus meus, in contritione filiae populi mei. | Ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου. |
| 49 | Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there was no rest: | Ain Oculus meus afflictus est, nec tacuit, eo quod non esset requies. | ΦΗ. Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν, |
| 50 | Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens. | Ain Donec respiceret et videret Dominus de caelis. | ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ. |
| 51 | Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city. | Ain Oculus meus depraedatus est animam meam in cunctis filiabus urbis meae. | Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως. |
| 52 | Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without cause. | Sade Venatione ceperunt me quasi avem inimici mei gratis. | ΤΣΑΔΗ. Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον· πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεὰν |
| 53 | Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone over me. | Sade Lapsa est in lacum vita mea, et posuerunt lapidem super me. | ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν λάκκῳ ζωήν μου, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν λίθον ἐπʼ ἐμοί. |
| 54 | Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off. | Sade Inundaverunt aquae super caput meum; dixi: Perii. | Ὑπερεχύθη ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου· εἶπα, ἄπωσμαι. |
| 55 | Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit. | Coph Invocavi nomen tuum, Domine, de lacu novissimo. | ΚΩΦ. Ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε, ἐκ λάκκου κατωτάτου· |
| 56 | Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my sighs, and cries. | Coph Vocem meam audisti; ne avertas aurem tuam a singultu meo et clamoribus. | Φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου· |
| 57 | Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou saidst: Fear not. | Coph Appropinquasti in die quando invocavi te; dixisti: Ne timeas. | Εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας· ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε εἶπάς μοι, μὴ φοβοῦ. |
| 58 | Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life. | Res Iudicasti, Domine, causam animae meae, redemptor vitae meae. | ΡΗΧΣ. Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου. |
| 59 | Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou my judgment. | Res Vidisti, Domine, iniquitatem illorum adversum me: iudica iudicium meum. | Ἴδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου. |
| 60 | Res. Thou hast seen all their fury, and all their thoughts against me. | Res Vidisti omnem furorem, universas cogitationes eorum adversum me. | Εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν, εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί. |
| 61 | Sin. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, all their imaginations against me. | Sin Audisti opprobrium eorum, Domine, omnes cogitationes eorum adversum me. | ΧΣΕΝ. Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατʼ ἐμοῦ, |
| 62 | Sin. The lips of them that rise up against me: and their devices against me all the day. | Sin Labia insurgentium mihi, et meditationes eorum adversum me tota die. | χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι, καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατʼ ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, |
| 63 | Sin. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up, I am their song. | Sin Sessionem eorum et resurrectionem eorum vide; ego sum psalmus eorum. | καθέδραν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν. |
| 64 | Thau. Thou shalt render them a recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands. | Thau Redes eis vicem, Domine, iuxta opera manuum suarum. | Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν. |
| 65 | Thau. Thou shalt give them a buckler of heart, thy labour. | Thau Dabis eis scutum cordis, laborem tuum. | ΘΑΥ. Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν, καρδίας μου μόχθον. |
| 66 | Thau. Thou shalt persecute them in anger, and shalt destroy them from under the heavens, O Lord. | Thau Persequeris in furore, et conteres eos sub caelis, Domine. | Σὺ αὐτοὺς καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ, καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε. |
