Lamentations 4
1 The gold has become tarnished; how the purest gold has changed! The holy stones are scattered at the corner of every street.
Алеф. Како потемне злато, изменися сребро доброе: разсыпашася камыцы святыни в начале всех исходов.
2 The precious sons of Zion were worth their weight in pure gold, but now they are worth no more than clay jars, the work of the potter's hands!
Беф. Сынове Сиони честнии, одеянии златом чистым, како вменишася в сосуды глиняны, дела рук скудельничих.
3 Even the jackals offer the breast to nurse their cubs, but the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the desert.
Гимель. Еще же змиеве обнажиша сосцы, воздоиша скимни их дщерей людий моих в неизцеление, якоже птица во пустыни.
4 The tongue of the nursing baby sticks to the roof of his mouth by thirst; the children ask for food, but there is none for them.
Далеф. Прильпе язык ссущаго к гортани его в жажди, младенцы просиша хлеба, и несть им разломляющаго.
5 Those who used to feast on the finest food now starve in the streets. Those who were brought up wearing scarlet clothing now lie on piles of ashes.
Ге. Ядуще сладостная погибоша во исходех, питаемии на багряницах одеяшася в гной.
6 The punishment of the daughter of my people is greater than that of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment and no hands were wrung for her.
Вав. И возвеличися беззаконие дщере людий моих паче беззакония Содомска, превращенныя во окомгновении, и не поболеша о ней руками.
7 Her leaders were purer than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies were more ruddy than coral, their form was like sapphire.
Заин. Очистишася назорее ея паче снега и просветишася паче млека, чермни быша, паче камене сапфира усечение их.
8 Their appearance now is darker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets. Their skin has shriveled on their bones; it has become as dry as wood.
Иф. Потемне паче сажи вид их, не познани быша во исходех: прильпе кожа их костем их, изсхоша, быша яко древо.
9 Those who have been killed by the sword were happier than those killed by hunger, who wasted away, pierced by the lack of any harvest from the field.
Теф. Лучше быша язвении мечем, нежели погублени гладом: сии бо истлеша от неплодности земли.
10 The hands of compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became their food during the time when the daughter of my people was being destroyed.
Иод. Руце жен милосердых свариша дети своя, быша в ядь им, в сокрушении дщере людий моих.
11 Yahweh showed all his wrath; he poured out his fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion that consumed her foundations.
Каф. Сконча Господь ярость Свою, излия ярость гнева Своего и возжже огнь в Сионе, и пояде основания его.
12 The kings of the earth did not believe, nor did any of the inhabitants of the world believe, that enemies or opponents could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
Ламед. Не вероваша царие земстии и вси живущии во вселенней, яко внидет враг и стужаяй сквозе врата Иерусалимская,
13 This happened because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests who have shed the blood of the righteous in her midst.
мем. Ради грех пророков его и неправд жерцев его, проливающих кровь праведну посреде его.
14 They wandered, blind, through the streets. They were so defiled by that blood that no one was allowed to touch their clothes.
Нун. Поколебашася бодрии его на стогнах, осквернишася в крови, внегда немощи им, прикоснушася одежд своих.
15 “Away! Unclean!” people cried at them. “Away! Away! Do not touch!” So they wandered about; people said among the nations, “They can stay here no longer.”
Самех. Отступите от нечистых, призовите их: отступите, отступите, не прикасайтеся, яко возжгошася и восколебашася: рцыте во языцех: не приложат, еже обитати (с ними).
16 Yahweh himself scattered them; he does not watch over them anymore. They do not honor the priests, and they did not show any favor to the elders.
Аин. Лице Господне часть их, не приложит призрети на них: лица жреческа не устыдешася, старых не помиловаша.
17 Our eyes failed, looking in vain for help; from our watchtowers we watched for a nation that could not rescue us.
Фи. Еще сущым нам оскудеша очи наши, на помощь нашу всуе смотрящым нам, внегда надеяхомся на язык не спасающь.
18 They followed our steps, we could not walk in our streets. Our end was near and our days were numbered, our end had 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 in the sky. They chased us to the mountains and 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 in our nostrils—Yahweh's anointed one—he was the one who was captured in their pits; of whom it was said, “Under his shadow we will 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, daughter of Edom, you who live in the land of Uz. But to you also the cup will be passed; you will be drunk and strip yourself naked.
Шин. Радуйся и веселися, дщи Идумейска, живущая на земли, и на тебе приидет чаша Господня, и упиешися и излиеши.
22 Daughter of Zion, your punishment will come to an end; he will not extend your exile. But daughter of Edom, he will punish; he will uncover your sins.
Фав. Скончася беззаконие твое, дщи Сионя, не приложит ктому преселити тя: посетил есть беззакония твоя, дщи Едомля, откры нечестия твоя.
