Lamentations 2
1 ALEPH. How has the Lord darkened in his wrath the daughter of Sion! he has cast down the glory of Israel from heaven to earth, and has not remembered his footstool.
Како обастре Господ облаком у гневу свом кћер сионску! Сврже с неба на земљу славу Израиљеву, и не опомену се подножја ногу својих у дан гнева свог!
2 BETH. In the day of his wrath the Lord has overwhelmed [her] as in the sea, [and] not spared: he has brought down in his fury all the beautiful things of Jacob; he has brought down to the ground the strong-holds of the daughter of Juda; he has profaned her kings and her princes.
Господ потре немилице све станове Јаковљеве, развали у гневу свом градове кћери Јудине, и на земљу обори, оскврни царство и кнезове његове.
3 GIMEL. He has broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has turned back his right hand from the face of the enemy, and has kindled a flame in Jacob as a fire, and it has devoured all things round about.
Одби у жестоком гневу сав рог Израиљу, обрати натраг десницу своју од непријатеља, и распали се на Јакова као огањ пламени, који прождире све око себе.
4 DALETH. He has bent his bow as an opposing enemy: he has strengthened his right hand as an adversary, and has destroyed all the desirable things of my eyes in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion: he has poured forth his anger as fire.
Натеже лук свој као непријатељ, подиже десницу своју као противник, и поби све што беше драго очима; на шатор кћери сионске просу као огањ гнев свој.
5 HE. The Lord is become as an enemy: he has overwhelmed Israel as in the sea, he has overwhelmed her palaces: he has destroyed her strong-holds, and has multiplied the afflicted and humbled ones to the daughter of Juda.
Господ поста као непријатељ; потре Израиља, потре све дворе његове, раскопа све градове његове, и умножи кћери Јудиној жалост и јад.
6 VAU. And he has scattered his tabernacle as a vine, he has marred his feast: the Lord has forgotten the feast and the sabbath which he appointed in Sion, and in the fury of his wrath has vexed the king, and priest, and prince.
Развали му ограду као врту; потре место састанцима његовим; Господ врже у заборав на Сиону празнике и суботу, и у жестини гнева свог одбаци цара и свештеника.
7 ZAIN. The Lord has rejected his altar, he has cast off his sanctuary, he has broken by the hand of the enemy the wall of her palaces; they have uttered their voice in the house of the Lord as on a feast day.
Одбаци Господ олтар свој, омрзе на светињу своју, предаде у руке непријатељима зидове двора сионских; стаде их вика у дому Господњем као на празник.
8 HETH. And he has turned to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he has stretched out the measuring line, he has not turned back his hand from afflicting [her]: therefore the bulwark mourned, and the wall was weakened with it.
Господ науми да раскопа зид кћери сионске, растеже уже, и не одврати руке своје да не затре, и ојади опкоп и зид, изнемогоше скупа.
9 TETH. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he has destroyed and broken to pieces her bars, [and] her king and her prince among the Gentiles: there is no law, nay, her prophets have seen no vision from the Lord.
Утонуше у земљу врата њена, поломи и потре преворнице њене; цар њен и кнезови њени међу народима су; закона нема, и пророци њени не добијају утваре од Господа.
10 JOD. The elders of the daughter of Sion have sat upon the ground, they have kept silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloths: they have brought down to the ground the chief virgins in Jerusalem.
Старешине кћери сионске седе на земљи и ћуте, посуле су прахом главу и припасале кострет; обориле су к земљи главе своје девојке јерусалимске.
11 CHAPH. Mine eyes have failed with tears, my heart is troubled, my glory is cast down to the ground, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; while the infant and suckling swoon in the streets of the city.
Ишчилеше ми очи од суза, утроба се моја усколебала, просипа се на земљу јетра моја од погибли кћери народа мог, јер деца и која сисају обамиру на улицама градским.
12 LAMED. They said to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? while they fainted like wounded men in the streets of the city, while their souls were poured out into their mother's bosom.
Говоре матерама својим: Где је жито и вино? Обамиру као рањеници на улицама градским, и испуштају душу своју у наручју матера својих.
13 MEM. What shall I testify to thee, or what shall I compare to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? who shall save and comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for the cup of thy destruction is enlarged: who shall heal thee?
Кога ћу ти узети за сведока? С чим ћу те изједначити, кћери јерусалимска? Какву ћу ти прилику наћи, да те утешим, девојко, кћери сионска? Јер је несрећа твоја велика као море, ко ће те исцелити?
14 NUN. Thy prophets have seen for thee vanities and folly: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn back thy captivity; but they have seen for thee vain burdens, and worthless visions.
Пророци твоји пророковаше ти лаж и безумље, и не откриваше безакоња твог да би одвратили ропство твоје; него ти казиваше утваре лажне и које ће те прогнати.
15 SAMECH. All that go by the way have clapped their hands at thee; they have hissed and shaken their head at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, the crown of joy of all the earth?
Пљескају рукама над тобом сви који пролазе, звижде и машу главом за кћерју јерусалимском: То ли је град, за који говораху да је права лепота, радост свој земљи?
16 AIN. All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and said, We have swallowed her up: moreover this is the day which we looked for; we have found it, we have seen it.
Разваљују уста на те сви непријатељи твоји, звижде и шкргућу зубима говорећи: Прождресмо; ово је доиста дан који чекасмо; дочекасмо, видесмо.
17 PHE. The Lord has done that which he purposed; he has accomplished his word, [even] the things which he commanded from the ancient days: he has thrown down, and has not spared: and he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, he has exalted the horn of him that afflicted thee.
Учини Господ шта науми, испуни реч своју, коју каза одавна; разори немилице и развесели тобом непријатеља, подиже рог противницима твојим.
18 TSADE. Their heart cried to the Lord, Ye walls of Sion, pour down tears like torrents day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eyes cease.
Виче срце њихово ка Господу: Зиде кћери сионске, проливај потоком сузе дан и ноћ, не дај себи мира, и зеница ока твог да не стаје.
19 KOPH. Arise, rejoice in the night at the beginning of thy watch: pour out thy heart as water before the face of the Lord; lift up thy hands to him for the life of thine infants, who faint for hunger at the top of all the streets.
Устани, вичи обноћ, у почетку страже, проливај срце своје као воду пред Господом, подижи к Њему руке своје за душу деце своје која обамиру од глади на угловима својих улица.
20 RHECHS. Behold, O Lord, and see for whom thou has gathered thus. Shall the women eat the fruit of their womb? the cook has made a gathering: shall the infants sucking at the breasts be slain? wilt thou slay the priest and prophet in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Погледај, Господе, и види, коме си овако учинио. Еда ли жене једу пород свој, децу коју носе у наручју? Еда ли се убија у светињи Господњој свештеник и пророк?
21 CHSEN. The child and old man have lain down in the street: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity: thou hast slain [them] with the sword and with famine; in the day of thy wrath thou hast mangled [them], thou has not spared.
Леже на земљи по улицама деца и старци, девојке моје и младићи моји падоше од мача, побио си их у дан гнева свог и поклао не жалећи.
22 THAU. He has called my sojourners round about to a solemn day, and there was not in the day of the wrath of the Lord any one that escaped or was left; whereas I have strengthened and multiplied all mine enemies.
Сазвао си као на празник страхоте моје од свуда, и у дан гнева Господњег нико не утече нити оста. Које на руку носих и отхраних, њих ми непријатељ мој поби.
