Lamentations 4
1 How is the gold become dim! How is the most fine gold changed! The hallowed stones are poured out at the head of every street.
Алеф. Како потемне злато, изменися сребро доброе: разсыпашася камыцы святыни в начале всех исходов.
2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
Беф. Сынове Сиони честнии, одеянии златом чистым, како вменишася в сосуды глиняны, дела рук скудельничих.
3 Even the jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones; the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
Гимель. Еще же змиеве обнажиша сосцы, воздоиша скимни их дщерей людий моих в неизцеление, якоже птица во пустыни.
4 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst; the young children ask bread, and none breaketh it unto them.
Далеф. Прильпе язык ссущаго к гортани его в жажди, младенцы просиша хлеба, и несть им разломляющаго.
5 They that did feed on dainties are desolate in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
Ге. Ядуще сладостная погибоша во исходех, питаемии на багряницах одеяшася в гной.
6 For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands fell upon her.
Вав. И возвеличися беззаконие дщере людий моих паче беззакония Содомска, превращенныя во окомгновении, и не поболеша о ней руками.
7 Her princes were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire;
Заин. Очистишася назорее ея паче снега и просветишася паче млека, чермни быша, паче камене сапфира усечение их.
8 Their visage is blacker than coal; they are not known in the streets; their skin is shrivelled upon their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
Иф. Потемне паче сажи вид их, не познани быша во исходех: прильпе кожа их костем их, изсхоша, быша яко древо.
9 They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.
Теф. Лучше быша язвении мечем, нежели погублени гладом: сии бо истлеша от неплодности земли.
10 The hands of women full of compassion have sodden their own children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Иод. Руце жен милосердых свариша дети своя, быша в ядь им, в сокрушении дщере людий моих.
11 The LORD hath accomplished His fury, He hath poured out His fierce anger; and He hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof.
Каф. Сконча Господь ярость Свою, излия ярость гнева Своего и возжже огнь в Сионе, и пояде основания его.
12 The kings of the earth believed not, neither all the inhabitants of the world, that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
Ламед. Не вероваша царие земстии и вси живущии во вселенней, яко внидет враг и стужаяй сквозе врата Иерусалимская,
13 It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
мем. Ради грех пророков его и неправд жерцев его, проливающих кровь праведну посреде его.
14 They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, so that men cannot touch their garments.
Нун. Поколебашася бодрии его на стогнах, осквернишася в крови, внегда немощи им, прикоснушася одежд своих.
15 'Depart ye! unclean!' men cried unto them, 'Depart, depart, touch not'; yea, they fled away and wandered; men said among the nations: 'They shall no more sojourn here.'
Самех. Отступите от нечистых, призовите их: отступите, отступите, не прикасайтеся, яко возжгошася и восколебашася: рцыте во языцех: не приложат, еже обитати (с ними).
16 The anger of the LORD hath divided them; He will no more regard them; they respected not the persons of the priests, they were not gracious unto the elders.
Аин. Лице Господне часть их, не приложит призрети на них: лица жреческа не устыдешася, старых не помиловаша.
17 As for us, our eyes do yet fail for our vain help; in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
Фи. Еще сущым нам оскудеша очи наши, на помощь нашу всуе смотрящым нам, внегда надеяхомся на язык не спасающь.
18 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our broad places; our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
Цади. Уловиша малых наших еже не ходити на стогнах наших, приближися время наше, исполнишася дние наши, настоит конец наш.
19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heaven; they chased us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
Коф. Скорейшии быша гонящии ны паче орлов небесных, на горах гоняху нас, в пустыни приседоша нам.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits; of whom we said: 'Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.'
Реш. Дух лица нашего, помазанный Господь ят бысть в растлениих их, о немже рехом: в сени его поживем во языцех.
21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz: the cup shall pass over unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
Шин. Радуйся и веселися, дщи Идумейска, живущая на земли, и на тебе приидет чаша Господня, и упиешися и излиеши.
22 The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion, He will no more carry thee away into captivity; He will punish thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He will uncover thy sins.
Фав. Скончася беззаконие твое, дщи Сионя, не приложит ктому преселити тя: посетил есть беззакония твоя, дщи Едомля, откры нечестия твоя.
