Плач Иеремии 1
1 Алеф. Како седе един град умноженный людьми: бысть яко вдовица, умноженный во языцех, владяй странами бысть под данию.
How is seated alone, the city that abounded with people, hath become as a widow, —She who abounded among the nations was a princess among provinces, hath come under tribute.
2 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.
She, weepeth sore, in the night, and, her tear, is on her cheek, She hath none to comfort her, of all her lovers, —All her friends, have betrayed her, have become her foes.
3 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.
Carried away captive is Judah—because of oppression, and because of great servitude, She, hath remained among the nations, hath found no place of rest, —All her pursuers, have overtaken her, between straits.
4 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.
The ways to Zion, are mourning, because none come to her appointed feasts, All her gates, are desolate, her priests, are sighing, —her virgins, are grieved, and, she, it is bitter for her.
5 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.
Her adversaries have become chief, her foes, are at ease, for, Yahweh, hath grieved her, because of the multitude of her transgressions, —Her children, have gone into captivity, before the adversary.
6 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.
Thus hath gone forth from the daughter of Zion, all that adorned her, —Her princes have become like harts that have found no pasture, and have gone strengthless before the pursuer.
7 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.
Jerusalem hath remembered in the days of her humiliation and her fleeings—all her precious things, which have existed from the days of old, —Now that her people have been falling into the hand of the adversary, with none to help her, the adversaries have seen her, have mocked over her sabbath-keepings.
8 Иф. Грехом согреши Иерусалим, того ради в мятеж бысть: вси славящии его смириша и, видеша бо срам его: сей же стенящь обратися вспять.
Jerusalem, hath grievously sinned, For this cause, unto exile, hath she been delivered, —All who used to honour her, have despised her, for they have descried her unseemliness, yea, she herself, hath sighed, and turned back.
9 Теф. Нечистота его пред ногама его, не помяну последних своих и низведеся пречудно: несть утешаяй его. Виждь, Господи, смирение мое, яко возвеличися враг.
Her impurity, is in her skirts, She hath not remembered her hereafter, Therefore hath she come down wonderfully, none to comfort her, —Behold, O Yahweh, my humiliation, that the foe, hath made himself great.
10 Иод. Руку свою простре стужаяй на вся вожделенная его, виде бо языки вшедшыя во святыню свою, имже повелел еси не входити во церковь Твою.
His hand, hath the adversary spread out, over all her precious things, —for she saw that, the nations, entered her sanctuary, as to whom thou didst command they should not enter—in the convocation—unto thee!
11 Каф. Вси людие его воздыхающе ищут хлеба: даша вожделенная своя за пищу, еже бы обратити душу. Виждь, Господи, и призри, яко бых безчестен.
All her people, are sighing, seeking bread, They have given their precious things for food, to bring back life, —Behold, O Yahweh, and discern, that I have become worthless.
12 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.
Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Look around and see, whether there is pain like my pain, which is severely dealt out to me, —in that Yahweh, hath caused grief, in the day of the glow of his anger?
13 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.
From on high, sent he fire, among my bones, and laid them prostrate, —He spread out a net for my feet, he made me turn back, he made me desolate, all the day, faint.
14 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.
The yoke of my transgressions, hath been bound, by his hand—They have intertwined themselves, have come up on my neck, it hath paralysed my strength, —My Lord, hath delivered me, into the hands of those against whom I cannot rise up.
15 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.
My Lord, hath flouted at all my magnates, in my midst, He hath called against me a host, to crush my young men, —A winepress, hath My Lord trodden, to the virgin, the daughter of Judah.
16 Аин. Очи мои излиясте воду, яко удалися от мене утешаяй мя, возвращаяй душу мою: погибоша сынове мои, яко возможе враг.
For these things, am, I, weeping, Mine eye, mine eye, is running down with waters, for, far from me, is any who could comfort, could bring back my life, —My sons are amazed, for strong is the foe.
17 Фи. Возде руце свои Сион, несть утешаяй его. Заповеда Господь на Иакова, окрест его врази его: бысть Иерусалим яко осквернена кровоточением в них.
Zion, hath spread forth, her hands, there is none to comfort her, Yahweh, hath given command, respecting Jacob, unto them who surround him—his adversaries, —Jerusalem, hath become as a removed woman, in their midst.
18 Цади. Праведен есть Господь, яко уста Его огорчих. Слышите убо, вси людие, и видите болезнь мою: девицы моя и юноты отидоша в плен.
Righteous is Yahweh, for, against his bidding, had I rebelled, —Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men, have gone into exile.
19 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.
I called to my lovers, they, deceived me, My priests and mine elders, in the city, have breathed their last, —for they sought them food, that they might bring back their life.
20 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.
See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress, Mine inward parts, are in ferment, My heart is turned within me, for I have obstinately rebelled, —Without, bereaveth the sword, Within, is like death,
21 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.
They have heard—that, sighing am, I, [and am saying] —There is none to comfort me, All my foes, —having heard of my calamity—have rejoiced, because, thou, hast done it, —thou hast brought in the day thou didst proclaim, So let them become like me.
22 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.
Let all their wickedness, come in, before thee, and deal thou severely with them, according as thou hast dealt severely with me, for all my transgressions; for many are my sighs, and, my heart, is sick.
