| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach. | Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum. |
| 2 | Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers. | Haereditas nostra versa est ad alienos, domus nostrae ad extraneos. |
| 3 | We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows. | Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostrae quasi viduae. |
| 4 | We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood. | Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus; ligna nostra pretio comparavimus. |
| 5 | We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us. | Cervicibus nostris minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies. |
| 6 | We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread. | Aegypto dedimus manum et Assyriis, ut saturaremur pane. |
| 7 | Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities. | Patres nostri peccaverunt, et non sunt: et nos iniquitates eorum portavimus. |
| 8 | Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand. | Servi dominati sunt nostri: non fuit qui redimeret de manu eorum. |
| 9 | We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert. | In animabus nostris afferebamus panem nobis, a facie gladii in deserto. |
| 10 | Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine. | Pellis nostra quasi clibanus exusta est, a facie tempestatum famis. |
| 11 | They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda. | Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt, et virgines in civitatibus Iuda. |
| 12 | The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the persons of the ancient. | Principes manu suspensi sunt; facies senum non erubuerunt. |
| 13 | They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood. | Adolescentibus impudice abusi sunt, et pueri in ligno corruerunt. |
| 14 | The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the choir of the singers. | Senes defecerunt de portis, iuvenes de choro psallentium. |
| 15 | The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning. | Defecit gaudium cordis nostri; versus est in luctum chorus noster. |
| 16 | The crown is fallen from our head woe to us, because we have sinned. | Cecidit corona capitis nostri: vae nobis, quia peccavimus! |
| 17 | Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim, | Propterea moestum factum est cor nostrum; ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri, |
| 18 | For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it. | propter montem Sion quia disperiit; vulpes ambulaverunt in eo. |
| 19 | But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from generation to generation. | Tu autem, Domine, in aeternum permanebis, solium tuum in generationem et generationem. |
| 20 | Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a long time? | Quare in perpetuum oblivisceris nostri, derelinques nos in longitudine dierum? |
| 21 | Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning. | Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur; innova dies nostros, sicut a principio. |
| 22 | But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us. | Sed proiiciens repulisti nos: iratus es contra nos vehementer. |
