< Lamentations 1 >

1 ALEPH. O how a city once filled with people now sits alone! The Governess of the Gentiles has become like a widow. The Prince of the provinces has been placed under tribute.
Алеф. Како седе един град умноженный людьми: бысть яко вдовица, умноженный во языцех, владяй странами бысть под данию.
2 BETH. Weeping, she has wept through the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. There is no one to be a comfort to her and to all her beloved. All her friends have spurned her, and they have become her enemies.
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 GHIMEL. Judah has migrated because of affliction and great servitude. She has lived among the nations and not found rest. All of her persecutors have apprehended her, amid torments.
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 DALETH. The pathways of Zion mourn, because there are none who approach for the solemnity. All her gates are destroyed. Her priests groan. Her virgins are filthy. And she is overwhelmed with bitterness.
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 HE. Her enemies have been made her leaders; her adversaries have been enriched. For the Lord has spoken against her, because of the multitude of her iniquities. Her little ones have been led into captivity before the face of the tribulator.
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 VAU. And all her elegance has departed, from the daughter of Zion. Her leaders have become like rams that cannot find pasture, and they have gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer.
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 ZAIN. Jerusalem has remembered the days of her affliction and the betrayal of all her desirable ones, whom she held from the days of antiquity, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and there was no one to be a helper. The enemies have looked upon her and mocked her Sabbaths.
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 HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a grievous sinz. Because of this, she has become unstable. All who glorified her have spurned her, because they have looked upon her disgrace. Then she groaned and turned away again.
Иф. Грехом согреши Иерусалим, того ради в мятеж бысть: вси славящии его смириша и, видеша бо срам его: сей же стенящь обратися вспять.
9 TETH. Her filth is on her feet, and her end has not been remembered. She has been vehemently put down, having no consolation. O Lord, look upon my affliction, for the adversary has been 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 JOD. The enemy has sent his hand against all her desirable ones. For she has watched the Gentiles enter her sanctuary, even though you instructed that they should not enter into your church.
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 CAPH. All her people are groaning and seeking bread. They have given up whatever was precious in exchange for food, so as to remain alive. See, O Lord, and consider, for I have become vile.
Каф. Вси людие его воздыхающе ищут хлеба: даша вожделенная своя за пищу, еже бы обратити душу. Виждь, Господи, и призри, яко бых безчестен.
12 LAMED. O all you who pass by the way, attend, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow. For he has made me a vintage, just as the Lord has spoken in the day of his furious anger.
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 MEM. From on high, he has sent fire into my bones, and he has educated me. He has spread a net for my feet; he has turned me back. He has placed me in desolation, consumed by grief, all day long.
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 NUN. Vigilant is the yoke of my iniquities. They have been folded together in his hand and imposed on my neck. My virtue has been weakened. The Lord has given me into a hand, out of which I am not able to rise.
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 SAMECH. The Lord has taken away all of my great ones from my midst. He has called forth time against me, so as to crush my elect ones. The Lord has trampled the winepress, which was for the virgin daughter of Judah.
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 AIN. For this I weep, and my eyes bring forth water. For the consoler has been far away from me, changing my soul. My sons have become lost, because the enemy has prevailed.
Аин. Очи мои излиясте воду, яко удалися от мене утешаяй мя, возвращаяй душу мою: погибоша сынове мои, яко возможе враг.
17 PHE. Zion has reached out her hands; there is no one to console her. The Lord has given orders against Jacob; his enemies are all around him. Jerusalem among them is like a woman made unclean by menstruation.
Фи. Возде руце свои Сион, несть утешаяй его. Заповеда Господь на Иакова, окрест его врази его: бысть Иерусалим яко осквернена кровоточением в них.
18 SADE. The Lord is just, for it is I who has provoked his mouth to wrath. I beg all people to listen and to see my sorrow. My virgins and my youths have gone into captivity.
Цади. Праведен есть Господь, яко уста Его огорчих. Слышите убо, вси людие, и видите болезнь мою: девицы моя и юноты отидоша в плен.
19 COPH. I called for my friends, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders have been consumed in the city. For they were seeking their food, so as to revive their 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 RES. See, O Lord, that I am in tribulation. My bowels have been disturbed, my heart has been subverted within me, for I am filled with bitterness. Outside, the sword puts to death, and at home there is a similar 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 SIN. They have heard that I groan and that there is no one to console me. All my enemies have heard of my misfortune; they have rejoiced that you caused it. You have brought in a day of consolation, and so they shall become 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 THAU. Let all their evil enter before you. And make vintage of them, just as you made vintage of me, because of all my iniquities. For my sighs are many, and my heart is grieving.
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.
