Плач Иеремии 2
1 Алеф. Како омрачи во гневе Своем Господь дщерь Сионю: сверже с небесе на землю славу Израилеву, и не помяну подножия ногу Своею в день гнева и ярости Своея.
How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 Беф. Погрузи Господь и не пощаде: вся красная Иаковля разори яростию Своею, твердыни дщере Иудины изверже на землю, оскверни царя ея и князи ея,
The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
3 гимель. Сокруши во гневе ярости Своея весь рог Израилев, обрати вспять десницу его от лица врага, разжже во Иакове яко огнь пламы, и потреби вся окрест,
He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
4 далеф. Напряже лук Свой яко ратник противный, утверди десницу Свою яко супостат и изби вся красная очию моею во селениих дщере Сиони, излия яко огнь ярость Свою.
He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary. He has killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 Ге. Бысть Господь аки враг, погрузи Израиля, погрузи вся домы его, разсыпа вся стены его и умножи дщери Иудине смирена и смирену,
The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
6 вав. И разверзе аки виноград селение Свое, разсыпа праздники Его: забы Господь, яже сотвори в Сионе праздники и субботы, и озлоби прещением гнева Своего царя и князя и жерца.
He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.
7 Заин. Отрину Господь жертвенник Свой, оттрясе святыню Свою, сокруши рукою вражиею стену забралов его: глас даша в дому Господни яко в день праздника.
The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in Yahweh’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 Иф. Обратися Господь разсыпати стену дщере Сиони: протяже меру, не отврати руки Своея от попрания: и сетова предградие, и ограда вкупе изнеможе.
Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall lament. They languish together.
9 Теф. Врастоша в землю врата ея, погуби и сокруши вереи ея, царя ея и князи ея во языцех, несть закона, и пророцы ея не видеша видения от Господа.
Her gates have sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not. Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
10 Иод. Седоша на земли, умолкоша старейшины дщере Сиони, посыпаша персть на главы своя, препоясашася во вретища, низведоша в землю старейшин дев Иерусалимских.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground. They keep silence. They have cast up dust on their heads. They have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Каф. Оскудеша очи мои в слезах, смутися сердце мое, излияся на землю слава моя о сокрушении дщере людий моих, внегда оскуде младенец и ссущий на стогнах градских.
My eyes fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My bile is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
12 Ламед. Матерем своим рекоша: где пшеница и вино? Внегда разслабленым быти им, яко язвеным на стогнах градских, егда изливахуся души их в лоно матерей их.
They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
13 Мем. Что ти засвидетелствую? Или что уподоблю тебе, дщи Иерусалимля? Кто тя спасет и кто тя утешит, девице, дщи Сионя? Яко возвеличися чаша сокрушения твоего, кто тя изцелит?
What shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big as the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Нун. Пророцы твои видеша тебе суетная и безумие и не открыша о неправде твоей, еже возвратити пленение твое, и видеша тебе словеса суетная и изриновения.
Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.
15 Самех. Восплескаша рукама о тебе вси минующии путем, позвиздаша и покиваша главою своею о дщери Иерусалимли, рекуще: сей ли град, венец славы, веселие всея земли?
All that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth’?”
16 Аин. Отверзоша на тя уста своя вси врази твои, позвиздаша и поскрежеташа зубы своими и реша: поглотим ю: обаче сей день, егоже чаяхом, обретохом его, видехом.
All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen it.”
17 Фи. Сотвори Господь, яже помысли, сконча словеса Своя, яже заповеда от дний первых: разори и не пощаде, и возвесели о тебе врага, вознесе рог стужающаго ти.
Yahweh has done that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 Цади. Возопи сердце их ко Господу, стены дщере Сиони да излиют якоже водотеча слезы день и нощь: не даждь покоя себе, и да не умолкнет зеница очию твоею.
Their heart cried to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief. Don’t let your eyes rest.
19 Коф. Востани, поучися в нощи в начале стражбы твоея, пролий яко воду сердце твое пред лицем Господним, воздвигни к Нему руце твои о душах младенец твоих, разслабленых гладом в начале всех исходов.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 Реш. Виждь, Господи, и призри, кого еси отребил сице? Еда снедят жены плод утробы своея? Отребление сотвори повар, избиют ли младенцев ссущих сосцы? Убиеши ли во святыни Господни жерца и пророка?
“Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Should the women eat their offspring, the children that they held and bounced on their knees? Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Шин. Успоша на исходищих отрок и старец: девицы моя и юноты мои отидоша в плен, мечем и гладом избил еси, в день гнева Твоего сварил еси, не пощадел.
“The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger. You have slaughtered, and not pitied.
22 Фав. Призвал еси яко день праздника пришелствия моя окрест, и не бысть в день гнева Господня уцелевый и оставыйся, яко сотворих возмощи и умножих враги моя вся.
“You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
