Lamentations 5
1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
| اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ مَا أَصَابَنَا. انْظُرْ وَعَايِنْ عَارَنَا. | ١ |
2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
| قَدْ تَحَوَّلَ مِيرَاثُنَا إِلَى الْغُرَبَاءِ وَبُيُوتُنَا إِلَى الأَجَانِبِ. | ٢ |
3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows.
| أَصْبَحْنَا أَيْتَاماً لَا أَبَ لَنَا، وَأُمَّهَاتُنَا كَالأَرَامِلِ. | ٣ |
4 We have drank our water for money; our wood is sold to us.
| بِالْفِضَّةِ شَرِبْنَا مَاءَنَا. وَبِثَمَنٍ ابْتَعْنَا حَطَبَنَا. | ٤ |
5 Our necks [are] under persecution: we labor, [and] have no rest.
| دَاسَ مُضْطَهِدُونَا أَعْنَاقَنَا، أَعْيَيْنَا وَلَمْ نَجِدْ رَاحَةً. | ٥ |
6 We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
| خَضَعْنَا بَاسِطِينَ أَيْدِينَا إِلَى أَشُّورَ وَمِصْرَ لِنَشْبَعَ خُبْزاً. | ٦ |
7 Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities.
| قَدْ أَخْطَأَ آبَاؤُنَا، وَتَوَارَوْا عَنِ الْوُجُودِ، وَنَحْنُ نَتَحَمَّلُ عِقَابَ آثَامِهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth deliver [us] out of their hand.
| تَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْنَا عَبِيدٌ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُنَا مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٨ |
9 We procured our bread with [the peril of] our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.
| بِأَنْفُسِنَا نَأْتِي بِخُبْزِنَا مُجَازِفِينَ بِحَيَاتِنَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ السَّيْفِ الْكَامِنِ لَنَا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٩ |
10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
| جِلْدُنَا مُلْتَهِبٌ كَتَنُّورٍ مِنْ نِيرَانِ الْجُوعِ الْمُحْرِقَةِ. | ١٠ |
11 They ravished the women in Zion, [and] the maids in the cities of Judah.
| اغْتَصَبُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَالْعَذَارَى فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ١١ |
12 Princes were hanged by their hand: the faces of elders were not honored.
| عُلِّقَ النُّبَلاءُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَلَمْ يُوَقِّرُوا الشُّيُوخَ. | ١٢ |
13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
| سَخَّرُوا الشُّبَّانَ لِلطَّحْنِ، وَهَوَى الصِّبْيَانُ تَحْتَ الْحَطَبِ. | ١٣ |
14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
| هَجَرَ الشُّيُوخُ بَوَّابَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَفَّ الشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
| انْقَطَعَ فَرَحُ قَلْبِنَا وَتَحَوَّلَ رَقْصُنَا إِلَى نَوْحٍ. | ١٥ |
16 The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe to us, that we have sinned!
| تَهَاوَى إِكْلِيلُ رَأْسِنَا، فَوَيْلٌ لَنَا لأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا. | ١٦ |
17 For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our eyes are dim.
| لِهَذَا غُشِيَ عَلَى قُلُوبِنَا، وَأَظْلَمَتْ عُيُونُنَا. | ١٧ |
18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
| لأَنَّ جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ أَضْحَى أَطْلالاً تَرْتَعُ فِيهِ الثَّعَالِبُ. | ١٨ |
19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَمْلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَعَرْشُكَ ثَابِتٌ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ. | ١٩ |
20 Why dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time?
| لِمَاذَا تَنْسَانَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَتَتْرُكُنَا طُولَ الأَيَّامِ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 Turn thou us to thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
| رُدَّنَا يَا رَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَنَرْجِعَ. جِدِّدْ أَيَّامَنَا كَمَا فِي الْعُهُودِ السَّالِفَةِ. | ٢١ |
22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
| إِلا إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ رَفَضْتَنَا كُلَّ الرَّفْضِ وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْنَا أَشَدَّ الْغَضَبِ. | ٢٢ |
