Lamentations 4
1 How the gold has become dim! The most pure gold has changed! The stones of the sanctuary 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 they are 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 offer their breast. They nurse their young ones. But the daughter of my people has 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 nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst. The young children ask for bread, and no one breaks it for them.
Далеф. Прильпе язык ссущаго к гортани его в жажди, младенцы просиша хлеба, и несть им разломляющаго.
5 Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets. Those who were brought up in purple 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, which was overthrown as in a moment. No hands were laid on her.
Вав. И возвеличися беззаконие дщере людий моих паче беззакония Содомска, превращенныя во окомгновении, и не поболеша о ней руками.
7 Her nobles were purer than snow. They were whiter than milk. They were more ruddy in body than rubies. Their polishing was like sapphire.
Заин. Очистишася назорее ея паче снега и просветишася паче млека, чермни быша, паче камене сапфира усечение их.
8 Their appearance is blacker than a coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered. It has become like wood.
Иф. Потемне паче сажи вид их, не познани быша во исходех: прильпе кожа их костем их, изсхоша, быша яко древо.
9 Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for lack of the fruits of the field.
Теф. Лучше быша язвении мечем, нежели погублени гладом: сии бо истлеша от неплодности земли.
10 The hands of the pitiful women have boiled 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 has accomplished his wrath. He has poured out his fierce anger. He has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its 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 didn’t believe, neither did 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 middle 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 can’t touch their garments.
Нун. Поколебашася бодрии его на стогнах, осквернишася в крови, внегда немощи им, прикоснушася одежд своих.
15 “Go away!” they cried to them. “Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, “They can’t live here any more.”
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 LORD’s anger has scattered them. He will not pay attention to them any more. They didn’t respect the persons of the priests. They didn’t favor the elders.
Аин. Лице Господне часть их, не приложит призрети на них: лица жреческа не устыдешася, старых не помиловаша.
17 Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our 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, so that we can’t go in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are fulfilled, for our end has 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 sky. They chased us on the mountains. They set an ambush 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 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, who dwells in the land of Uz. The cup will pass through to you also. You will be drunken, and will make yourself naked.
Шин. Радуйся и веселися, дщи Идумейска, живущая на земли, и на тебе приидет чаша Господня, и упиешися и излиеши.
22 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion. He will no more carry you away into captivity. He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom. 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.
