Lamentations 1
1 Jerusalem was [once] full of people, but now it is deserted. [Once] it was honored by people all over the world, but now it is [grieving/abandoned] like [SIM] a widow. [Once] it was [honored like] [MET] a princess [is honored] among the nations, but now [we who live here] have become slaves.
Алеф. Како седе един град умноженный людьми: бысть яко вдовица, умноженный во языцех, владяй странами бысть под данию.
2 We [PRS] weep bitterly [all] night long, with tears flowing down our cheeks. Among [the people in] all [the nations] that loved Jerusalem there are none that comfort us [now]. All [the rulers of those nations that were previously] our allies have betrayed us, and they are all now enemies [of the people of Jerusalem].
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 [The people of] Judah have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries) and caused to suffer greatly as slaves. They live in [other] nations where they do not have peace/safety. Their enemies seized them, and there was no way for them to escape.
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 roads to Zion [Hill] are empty [PRS] because no one comes [here] to [celebrate] the sacred festivals. The city gates are deserted, and the priests groan. The young women [of Jerusalem] cry [because] they are suffering greatly.
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 Our enemies have conquered the city, and [now] they prosper. Yahweh has punished [the people of] Jerusalem because of all the sins that they have committed. The children [of Jerusalem] have been captured and taken [to other countries].
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 Jerusalem was a beautiful city, but it is not beautiful now. The leaders [of the city] are like [SIM] deer that are starving because of being unable to find any grass [to eat]. They are very weak, with the result that they are unable to run from their enemies.
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 [The people of] Jerusalem are sad and scattered, and they think about the previous greatness of the city. [But now] our enemies have captured the city, and there is no one to help the people. Our enemies destroyed the city and laughed while they were doing that.
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 [The people of] [PRS] Jerusalem have sinned very much; [it is as though] [MET] the city has become [like] a filthy [rag]. All those who [previously] honored the city [now] despise it, because they see that it has become very disgraced [MET]. Now [the people of] the city groan, and they cover their faces [because they are very ashamed].
Иф. Грехом согреши Иерусалим, того ради в мятеж бысть: вси славящии его смириша и, видеша бо срам его: сей же стенящь обратися вспять.
9 The city has become filthy because of [PRS] the sins that the people have committed; they did not think about what could happen to the city. [Now] the city has been destroyed, and there is no one to comfort [the people]. [The people cry out saying], “Yahweh, look at how we are suffering because our enemies have defeated us!”
Теф. Нечистота его пред ногама его, не помяну последних своих и низведеся пречудно: несть утешаяй его. Виждь, Господи, смирение мое, яко возвеличися враг.
10 Our enemies have taken away all our treasures, all the valuable things that we owned. We have seen [soldiers from other] nations, [men who do not worship Yahweh], enter our sacred temple, [the place] where foreigners/non-Israelis were (forbidden/not allowed) to enter.
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 The people of the city groan while they search for food; they have given their treasures to get food [to eat] to remain alive. [They say], “Yahweh, look [at us], and see that we are despised!”
Каф. Вси людие его воздыхающе ищут хлеба: даша вожделенная своя за пищу, еже бы обратити душу. Виждь, Господи, и призри, яко бых безчестен.
12 You people who pass by, you do not [RHQ] seem to care at all [about what has happened to us]. Look around and see that there are no other [RHQ] people who are suffering like we are. Yahweh has caused us to suffer because he was extremely angry [with us].
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 [It is as though] he sent a fire from heaven [MTY] that burned in our bones; [it is as though] [MET] he has placed a trap for our feet, and has prevented us from walking any further. He has abandoned us; we are weak/miserable [every day], 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 He caused the sins that we have committed to be [like] a heavy load for us to carry; [it is as though] [MET] he tied them around our necks. Previously we were strong, but he has caused us to become weak. He has allowed our enemies to capture us, and we were not able to do anything to resist them.
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 Yahweh looked at our mighty soldiers and laughed at them. He has summoned a great army to [come and] crush our young soldiers. [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has trampled on [us] people of Judah like [SIM] [people trample] on grapes in a pit [to make wine].
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 I weep because of [all] those things; my eyes are filled with tears. There is no one to comfort me; those who could encourage me are far away. Our enemies have conquered [us], so our children have nothing good to (hope for/expect to happen).
Аин. Очи мои излиясте воду, яко удалися от мене утешаяй мя, возвращаяй душу мою: погибоша сынове мои, яко возможе враг.
17 [We people of] [PRS] Jerusalem reach out our hands [to get help], but there is no one to comfort us. Yahweh has decided concerning [us descendants of] Jacob that the people in nearby nations will become our enemies; so they consider that Jerusalem has become [like] [MET] a filthy rag.
Фи. Возде руце свои Сион, несть утешаяй его. Заповеда Господь на Иакова, окрест его врази его: бысть Иерусалим яко осквернена кровоточением в них.
18 But what Yahweh has done [to us] is fair, because we have rebelled against obeying the commands that he gave [us]. You people everywhere, listen [to us]; [look and] see that we are suffering [greatly]. We had [many] sons and daughters, but they have been captured and forced to go to distant countries.
Цади. Праведен есть Господь, яко уста Его огорчих. Слышите убо, вси людие, и видите болезнь мою: девицы моя и юноты отидоша в плен.
19 We pleaded with our allies [to help us], but they [all] refused. Our priests and our leaders have died [from hunger] in the city while they were searching for food [to eat] to remain alive.
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 Yahweh, see that we are suffering very much. [It is as though] our inner beings are tormented. We are sad [SYN] because we have rebelled [against you]. Our enemies kill people in the streets with their swords; people are dying [because they have no food to eat].
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 People have heard us while we groaned, but no one [came to] comfort us. [Yahweh, ] you caused us to experience this [disaster], and our enemies are happy to see what you have done [to us]. But cause it soon to be the time that you have promised, when our enemies will suffer like we have suffered!
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 [Yahweh, ] see all the evil things that they have done and punish them! [Punish them] like you have punished us for all the sins that we committed! [We say this to you] because we suffer and groan very much, and we (faint/are very sad).
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.
