Lamentations 1
1 And it came to pass, after Israel was taken captive, and Jerusalem made desolate, [that] Jeremias sat weeping, and lamented [with] this lamentation over Jerusalem, and said, ALEPH. How does the city that was filled with people sit solitary! she is become as a widow: she that was magnified among the nations, [and] princess among the provinces, has become tributary.
Kako sjedi sam, posta kao udovica, grad koji bješe pun naroda! velik meðu narodima, glava meðu zemljama potpade pod danak!
2 BETH. She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; and there is none of all her lovers to comfort her: all that were her friends have dealt deceitfully with her, they are become her enemies.
Jednako plaèe noæu, i suze su mu na obrazima, nema nikoga od svijeh koji ga ljubljahu da ga potješi; svi ga prijatelji njegovi iznevjeriše, postaše mu neprijatelji.
3 GIMEL. Judea is gone into captivity by reason of her affliction, and by reason of the abundance of her servitude: she dwells among the nations, she has not found rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between her oppressors.
Iseli se Juda od muke i ljutoga ropstva; sjedi meðu narodima, ne nalazi mira; svi koji ga goniše stigoše ga u tjesnacu.
4 DALETH. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the feast: all her gates are ruined: her priests groan, her virgins are led captive, and she is in bitterness in herself.
Putovi Sionski tuže, jer niko ne ide na praznik; sva su vrata njegova pusta, sveštenici njegovi uzdišu, djevojke su njegove žalosne, i sam je jadan.
5 HE. Her oppressors are become the head, and her enemies have prospered; for the Lord has afflicted her because of the multitude of her sins: her young children are gone into captivity before the face of the oppressor.
Protivnici njegovi postaše glava, neprijateljima je njegovijem dobro; jer ga Gospod ucvijeli za mnoštvo bezakonja njegova; djeca njegova idu u ropstvo pred neprijateljem.
6 VAU. And all her beauty has been taken away from the daughter of Sion: her princes were as rams finding no pasture, and are gone [away] in weakness before the face of the pursuer.
I otide od kæeri Sionske sva slava njezina; knezovi su njezini kao jeleni koji ne nalaze paše; idu nemoæni pred onijem koji ih goni.
7 ZAIN. Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, and her rejection; [she thought on] all her desirable things which were from the days of old, when her people fell into the hands of the oppressor, and there was none to help her: when her enemies saw [it] they laughed at her habitation.
Opominje se Jerusalim u muci svojoj i u jadu svom svijeh milina što je imao od starine, kad pada narod njegov od ruke neprijateljeve a nikoga nema da mu pomože; neprijatelji gledaju ga i smiju se prestanku njegovu.
8 HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a [great] sin; therefore has she come into tribulation, all that used to honor her have afflicted her, for they have seen her shame: yes, she herself groaned, and turned backward.
Teško sagriješi Jerusalim, zato posta kao neèista žena; svi koji su ga poštovali preziru ga, jer vidješe golotinju njegovu; a on uzdiše, i okreæe se natrag.
9 TETH. Her uncleanness is before her feet; she remembered not her last end; she has lowered her boasting [tone], there is none to comfort her. Behold, O Lord, my affliction: for the enemy has magnified himself.
Neèistota mu bješe na skutovima; nije mislio na kraj svoj; pao je za èudo a nema nikoga da ga potješi. Pogledaj, Gospode, muku moju, jer se neprijatelj ponio.
10 JOD. The oppressor has stretched out his hand on all her desirable things: for she has seen the Gentiles entering into her sanctuary, [concerning] whom you did command that they should not enter into your congregation.
Neprijatelj poseže rukom na sve drage stvari njegove, i on gleda kako narodi ulaze u svetinju njegovu, za koje si zapovjedio: da ne dolaze na sabor tvoj.
11 CHAPH. All her people groan, seeking bread: they have given their desirable things for meat, to restore their soul: behold, Lord, and look; for she is become dishonored.
Sav narod njegov uzdiše tražeæi hljeba, daju dragocjene stvari svoje za jelo da okrijepe dušu. Pogledaj, Gospode, i vidi kako sam poništen.
12 LAMED. All you that pass by the way, turn, and see if there is sorrow like to my sorrow, which has happened [to me]. The Lord who spoke by me has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
Zar vam nije stalo, svi koji prolazite ovuda? pogledajte i vidite, ima li bola kakav je moj, koji je meni dopao, kojim me ucvijeli Gospod u dan žestokoga gnjeva svojega.
13 MEM. He has sent fire from his lofty habitation, he has brought it into my bones: he has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: he has made me desolate [and] mourning all the day.
S visine pusti oganj u kosti moje, koji ih osvoji; razape mrežu nogama mojima, obori me nauznako, pustoši me, te po vas dan tužim.
14 NUN. He has watched over my sins, they are twined about my hands, they have come up on my neck: my strength has failed; for the Lord has laid pains on my hands, I shall not be able to stand.
Svezan je rukom njegovom jaram od grijeha mojih, usukani su i doðoše mi na vrat; obori silu moju; predade me Gospod u ruke, iz kojih se ne mogu podignuti.
15 SAMECH. The Lord has cut off all my strong men from the midst of me: he has summoned against me a time for crushing my choice men: the Lord has trodden a wine-press for the virgin daughter of Juda: for these things I weep.
Polazi Gospod sve junake moje usred mene, sazva na me sabor da potre mladiæe moje; kao grožðe u kaci izgazi Gospod djevojku kæer Judinu.
16 AIN. Mine eye has poured out water, because he that should comfort me, that should restore my soul, has been removed far from me: my sons have been destroyed, because the enemy has prevailed.
Zato ja plaèem, oèi moje, oèi moje liju suze, jer je daleko od mene utješitelj, koji bi ukrijepio dušu moju; sinovi moji propadoše, jer nadvlada neprijatelj.
17 PHE. Sion has spread out her hand, [and] there is none to comfort her: the Lord has commanded [concerning] Jacob, his oppressors are round about him: Jerusalem has become among them as a removed woman.
Sion širi ruke svoje, nema nikoga da ga tješi; Gospod zapovjedi za Jakova, te ga opkoliše neprijatelji; Jerusalim posta meðu njima kao neèista žena.
18 TSADE. The Lord is righteous; for I have provoked his mouth: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my grief: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
Pravedan je Gospod, jer se suprotih zapovijesti njegovoj; èujte, svi narodi, i vidite bol moj; djevojke moje i mladiæi moji otidoše u ropstvo.
19 KOPH. I called my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders failed in the city; for they sought meat that they might restore their souls, and found [it] not.
Zvah prijatelje svoje, oni me prevariše; sveštenici moji i starješine moje pomriješe u gradu tražeæi hrane da okrijepe dušu svoju.
20 RHECHS. Behold, O Lord; for I am afflicted: my belly is troubled, and my heart is turned within me; for I have been grievously rebellious: abroad the sword has bereaved me, even as death at home.
Pogledaj, Gospode, jer mi je tuga, utroba mi se uskolebala, srce se moje prevræe u meni, jer se mnogo suprotih; na polju uèini me sirotom maè, a kod kuæe sama smrt.
21 CHSEN. Hear, I pray you, for I groan: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard [of] mine afflictions, and rejoice because you have done [it]: you have brought on the day, you have called the time: they are become like to me.
Èuju gdje uzdišem, ali nema nikoga da me potješi; svi neprijatelji moji èuše za nesreæu moju i raduju se što si to uèinio; dovešæeš dan koji si oglasio, te æe oni biti kao ja.
22 THAU. Let all their wickedness come before your face; and strip them, as they have made a gleaning for all my sins: for my groans are many, and my heart is grieved.
Neka izaðe preda te sva zloæa njihova, i uèini kao što si uèinio meni za sve grijehe moje; jer je mnogo uzdaha mojih i srce je moje žalosno.
