|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach. | Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum. | Μνήσθητι Κύριε, ὅ, τι ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν· ἐπίβλεψον, καὶ ἴδε τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν ἡμῶν. |
| 2 | Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers. | Haereditas nostra versa est ad alienos, domus nostrae ad extraneos. | Κληρονομία ἡμῶν μετεστράθη ἀλλοτρίοις, οἱ οἶκοι ἡμῶν ξένοις. |
| 3 | We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows. | Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostrae quasi viduae. | Ὀρφανοὶ ἐγενήθημεν, οὐχ ὑπάρχει πατὴρ, μητέρες ἡμῶν ὡς αἱ χῆραι. |
| 4 | We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood. | Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus; ligna nostra pretio comparavimus. | Ὕδωρ ἡμῶν ἐν ἀργυρίῳ ἐπίομεν, ξύλα ἡμῶν ἐν ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον ἡμῶν· |
| 5 | We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us. | Cervicibus nostris minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies. | ἐδιώχθημεν, ἐκοπιάσαμεν, οὐκ ἀνεπαύθημεν. |
| 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. | Αἴγυπτος ἔδωκε χεῖρα, Ἀσσοὺρ εἰς πλησμονὴν αὐτῶν. |
| 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. | Οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἥμαρτον, οὐχ ὑπάρχουσιν, ἡμεῖς τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν ὑπέσχομεν. |
| 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. | Δοῦλοι ἐκυρίευσαν ἡμῶν, λυτρούμενος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν. |
| 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. | Ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν εἰσοίσομεν ἄρτον ἡμῶν, ἀπὸ προσώπου ῥομφαίας τῆς ἐρήμου. |
| 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. | Τὸ δέρμα ἡμῶν ὡς κλίβανος ἐπελιώθη, συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου καταιγίδων λιμοῦ. |
| 11 | They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda. | Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt, et virgines in civitatibus Iuda. | Γυναῖκας ἐν Σιὼν ἐταπείνωσαν, παρθένους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα. |
| 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. | Ἄρχοντες ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἐκρεμάσθησαν, πρεσβύτεροι οὐκ ἐδοξάσθησαν. |
| 13 | They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood. | Adolescentibus impudice abusi sunt, et pueri in ligno corruerunt. | Ἐκλεκτοὶ κλαυθμὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ νεανίσκοι ἐν ξύλῳ ἠσθένησαν. |
| 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. | Καὶ πρεσβύται ἀπὸ πύλης κατέπαυσαν, ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ ψαλμῶν αὐτῶν κατέπαυσαν. |
| 15 | The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning. | Defecit gaudium cordis nostri; versus est in luctum chorus noster. | Κατέλυσε χαρὰ καρδίας ἡμῶν, ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος ὁ χορὸς ἡμῶν· |
| 16 | The crown is fallen from our head woe to us, because we have sinned. | Cecidit corona capitis nostri: vae nobis, quia peccavimus! | Ἔπεσεν ὁ στέφανος ἡμῶν τῆς κεφαλῆς· οὐαὶ δὲ ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν. |
| 17 | Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim, | Propterea moestum factum est cor nostrum; ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri, | Περὶ τούτου ἐγενήθη ὀδύνη, ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν, περὶ τούτου ἐσκότασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν. |
| 18 | For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it. | propter montem Sion quia disperiit; vulpes ambulaverunt in eo. | Ἐπʼ ὄρος Σιὼν, ὅτι ἠφανίσθη, ἀλώπεκες διῆλθον ἐν αὐτῇ. |
| 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. | Σὺ δὲ Κύριε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικήσεις, ὁ θρόνος σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν. |
| 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? | Ἱνατί εἰς νῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ ἡμῶν, καταλείψεις ἡμᾶς εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν; |
| 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. | Ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς Κύριε πρὸς σὲ, καὶ ἐπιστραφησόμεθα· καὶ ἀνακαίνισον ἡμέρας ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν. |
| 22 | But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us. | Sed proiiciens repulisti nos: iratus es contra nos vehementer. | Ὅτι ἀπωθούμενος ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς, ὠργίσθης ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ἕως σθόδρα. |
