< Tužbalice 1 >
1 Kako sjedi sam, posta kao udovica, grad koji bješe pun naroda! velik meðu narodima, glava meðu zemljama potpade pod danak!
Aleph. How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary!
2 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.
Beth. Weeping she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies.
3 Iseli se Juda od muke i ljutoga ropstva; sjedi meðu narodima, ne nalazi mira; svi koji ga goniše stigoše ga u tjesnacu.
Ghimel. Juda hath removed her dwelling place because of her affliction, and the greatness of her bondage: she hath dwelt among the nations, and she hath found no rest: all her persecutors have taken her in the midst of straits.
4 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.
Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down: her priests sigh: her virgins are in affliction, and she is oppressed with bitterness.
5 Protivnici njegovi postaše glava, neprijateljima je njegovijem dobro; jer ga Gospod ucvijeli za mnoštvo bezakonja njegova; djeca njegova idu u ropstvo pred neprijateljem.
He. Her adversaries are become her lords, her enemies are enriched: because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities: her children are led into captivity: before the face of the oppressor.
6 I otide od kæeri Sionske sva slava njezina; knezovi su njezini kao jeleni koji ne nalaze paše; idu nemoæni pred onijem koji ih goni.
Vau. And from the daughter of Sion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like rams that find no pastures: and they are gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer.
7 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.
Zain. Jerusalem hath remembered the days of her affliction, and prevarication of all her desirable things which she had from the days of old, when her people fell in the enemy’s hand, and there was no helper: the enemies have seen her, and have mocked at her sabbaths.
8 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.
Heth. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore is she become unstable: all that honoured her have despised her, because they have seen her shame: but she sighed and turned backward.
9 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.
Teth. Her filthiness is on her feet, and she hath not remembered her end: she is wonderfully cast down, not having a comforter: behold, O Lord, my affliction, because the enemy is lifted up.
10 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.
Jod. The enemy hath put out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy church.
11 Sav narod njegov uzdiše tražeæi hljeba, daju dragocjene stvari svoje za jelo da okrijepe dušu. Pogledaj, Gospode, i vidi kako sam poništen.
Caph. All her people sigh, they seek bread: they have given all their precious things for food to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider, for I am become vile.
12 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.
Lamed. O all ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce anger.
13 S visine pusti oganj u kosti moje, koji ih osvoji; razape mrežu nogama mojima, obori me nauznako, pustoši me, te po vas dan tužim.
Mem. From above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the day long.
14 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.
Nun. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened: the Lord hath delivered me into a hand out of which I am not able to rise.
15 Polazi Gospod sve junake moje usred mene, sazva na me sabor da potre mladiæe moje; kao grožðe u kaci izgazi Gospod djevojku kæer Judinu.
Samech. The Lord hath taken away all my mighty men out of the midst of me: he hath called against me the time, to destroy my chosen men: the Lord hath trodden the winepress for the virgin daughter of Juda.
16 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.
Ain. Therefore do I weep, and my eyes run down with water: because the comforter, the relief of my soul, is far from me: my children are desolate because the enemy hath prevailed.
17 Sion širi ruke svoje, nema nikoga da ga tješi; Gospod zapovjedi za Jakova, te ga opkoliše neprijatelji; Jerusalim posta meðu njima kao neèista žena.
Phe. Sion hath spread forth her hands, there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded against Jacob, his enemies are round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
18 Pravedan je Gospod, jer se suprotih zapovijesti njegovoj; èujte, svi narodi, i vidite bol moj; djevojke moje i mladiæi moji otidoše u ropstvo.
Sade. The Lord is just, for I have provoked his mouth to wrath: hear, I pray you, all ye people, and see my sorrow: my virgins, and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 Zvah prijatelje svoje, oni me prevariše; sveštenici moji i starješine moje pomriješe u gradu tražeæi hrane da okrijepe dušu svoju.
Coph. I called for my friends, but they deceived me: my priests and my ancients pined away in the city: while they sought their food, to relieve their souls.
20 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.
Res. Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled: my heart is turned within me, for I am full of bitterness: abroad the sword destroyeth, and at home there is death alike.
21 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.
Sin. They have heard that I sigh, and there is none to comfort me: all my enemies have heard of my evil, they have rejoiced that thou hast done it: thou hast brought a day of consolation, and they shall be like unto me.
22 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.
Thau. Let all their evil be present before thee: and make vintage of them, as thou hast made vintage of me for all my iniquities: for my sighs are many, and my heart is sorrowful.
