Lamentations 1
1 See her seated by herself, the town which was full of people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow! She who was a princess among the countries has come under the yoke of forced work!
Алеф. Како седе един град умноженный людьми: бысть яко вдовица, умноженный во языцех, владяй странами бысть под данию.
2 She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.
Беф. Плачя плакася в нощи, и слезы его на ланитех его, и несть утешаяй его от всех любящих его: вси дружащиися с ним отвергошася его, быша ему врази.
3 Judah has been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.
Гимель. Преселися Иуда ради смирения своего и ради множества работы своея: седе во языцех, не обрете покоя. Вси гонящии его постигнуша и среде стужающих ему.
4 The ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.
Далеф. Путие Сиони рыдают, яко несть ходящих по них в праздник, вся врата его разорена, жерцы его воздыхают, девицы его ведомы, и сам огорчеваемь в себе.
5 Those who are against her have become the head, everything goes well for her haters; for the Lord has sent sorrow on her because of the great number of her sins: her young children have gone away as prisoners before the attacker.
Ге. Быша стужающии ему во главу, и врази его угобзишася, яко Господь смири его за множество нечестия его: младенцы его отидоша пленени пред лицем стужающаго.
6 And all her glory has gone from the daughter of Zion: her rulers have become like harts with no place for food, and they have gone in flight without strength before the attacker.
Вав. И отяся от дщере Сиони вся лепота ея: быша князи ея яко овни не имущии пажити, и хождаху не с крепостию пред лицем гонящаго.
7 Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.
Заин. Помяну Иерусалим дни смирения своего и отриновений своих, вся вожделения своя, яже имеяше от дний первых, егда падоша людие его в руце стужающаго, и не бе помагающаго ему: видевше врази его посмеяшася о преселении его.
8 Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.
Иф. Грехом согреши Иерусалим, того ради в мятеж бысть: вси славящии его смириша и, видеша бо срам его: сей же стенящь обратися вспять.
9 In her skirts were her unclean ways; she gave no thought to her end; and her fall has been a wonder; she has no comforter: see her sorrow, O Lord; for the attacker is lifted up.
Теф. Нечистота его пред ногама его, не помяну последних своих и низведеся пречудно: несть утешаяй его. Виждь, Господи, смирение мое, яко возвеличися враг.
10 The hand of her hater is stretched out over all her desired things; for she has seen that the nations have come into her holy place, about whom you gave orders that they were not to come into the meeting of your people.
Иод. Руку свою простре стужаяй на вся вожделенная его, виде бо языки вшедшыя во святыню свою, имже повелел еси не входити во церковь Твою.
11 Breathing out grief all her people are looking for bread; they have given their desired things for food to give them life: see, O Lord, and take note; for she has become a thing of shame.
Каф. Вси людие его воздыхающе ищут хлеба: даша вожделенная своя за пищу, еже бы обратити душу. Виждь, Господи, и призри, яко бых безчестен.
12 Come to me, all you who go by! Keep your eyes on me, and see if there is any pain like the pain of my wound, which the Lord has sent on me in the day of his burning wrath.
Ламед. Вси, иже к вам проходящии путем, обратитеся и видите, аще есть болезнь, яко болезнь моя, яже бысть: глаголавый о мне смири мя Господь в день гнева ярости Своея.
13 From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it has overcome them: his net is stretched out for my feet, I am turned back by him; he has made me waste and feeble all the day.
Мем. С высоты Своея посла огнь, в кости моя сведе его: простре сеть ногама моима, обрати мя вспять, даде мя Господь в погубление, весь день болезнующа.
14 A watch is kept on my sins; they are joined together by his hand, they have come on to my neck; he has made my strength give way: the Lord has given me up into the hands of those against whom I have no power.
Нун. Бдяше на нечестия моя, в руку моею сплетошася: взыдоша на выю мою, изнеможе крепость моя, яко даде Господь в руце мои болезни, не возмогу стати.
15 The Lord has made sport of all my men of war in me, he has got men together against me to send destruction on my young men: the virgin daughter of Judah has been crushed like grapes under the feet of the Lord.
Самех. Отя вся крепкия моя Господь от среды мене, призва на мя время, еже сокрушити избранныя моя: точило истопта Господь девице, дщери Иудине: о сих аз плачу.
16 For these things I am weeping; my eye is streaming with water; because the comforter who might give me new life is far from me: my children are made waste, because the hater is strong.
Аин. Очи мои излиясте воду, яко удалися от мене утешаяй мя, возвращаяй душу мою: погибоша сынове мои, яко возможе враг.
17 Zion's hands are outstretched; she has no comforter; the Lord has given orders to the attackers of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem has become like an unclean thing among them.
Фи. Возде руце свои Сион, несть утешаяй его. Заповеда Господь на Иакова, окрест его врази его: бысть Иерусалим яко осквернена кровоточением в них.
18 The Lord is upright; for I have gone against his orders: give ear, now, all you peoples, and see my pain, my virgins and my young men have gone away as prisoners.
Цади. Праведен есть Господь, яко уста Его огорчих. Слышите убо, вси людие, и видите болезнь мою: девицы моя и юноты отидоша в плен.
19 I sent for my lovers, but they were false to me: my priests and my responsible men were breathing their last breath in the town, while they were looking for food to give them new life.
Коф. Позвах любители моя, и тии прельстиша мя: жерцы мои и старцы мои во граде оскудеша, яко взыскаша пищи себе, да укрепят душы своя, и не обретоша.
20 See, O Lord, for I am in trouble; the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved; my heart is turned in me; for I have been uncontrolled: outside the children are put to the sword, and in the house there is death.
Реш. Виждь, Господи, яко скорблю, утроба моя смятеся во мне, и превратися сердце мое, яко горести исполнихся: отвне обезчади мене мечь, аки смерть в дому.
21 Give ear to the voice of my grief; I have no comforter; all my haters have news of my troubles, they are glad because you have done it: let the day of fate come when they will be like me.
Шин. Слышаша убо, яко воздыхаю аз, несть утешающаго мя. Вси врази мои слышаша злая моя и порадовашася, яко Ты сотворил еси: привел еси день, призвал еси время, и будут подобни мне.
22 Let all their evil-doing come before you; do to them as you have done to me for all my sins: for loud is the sound of my grief, and the strength of my heart is gone.
Фав. Да приидет вся злоба их пред лице Твое, и отреби их, якоже сотвориша отребление о всех гресех моих, яко многа суть стенания моя, и сердце мое скорбит.
