Плач Иеремии 1
1 Алеф. Како седе един град умноженный людьми: бысть яко вдовица, умноженный во языцех, владяй странами бысть под данию.
And it came to pass, after Israel was taken captive, and Jerusalem made desolate, [that] Jeremias sat weeping, and lamented [with] this lamentation over Jerusalem, and said, ALEPH. How does the city that was filled with people sit solitary! she is become as a widow: she that was magnified amongst the nations, [and] princess amongst the provinces, has become tributary.
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.
BETH. She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; and there is none of all her lovers to comfort her: all that were her friends have dealt deceitfully with her, they are become her enemies.
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.
GIMEL. Judea is gone into captivity by reason of her affliction, and by reason of the abundance of her servitude: she dwells amongst the nations, she has not found rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between her oppressors.
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.
DALETH. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the feast: all her gates are ruined: her priests groan, her virgins are led captive, and she is in bitterness in herself.
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.
HE. Her oppressors are become the head, and her enemies have prospered; for the Lord has afflicted her because of the multitude of her sins: her young children are gone into captivity before the face of the oppressor.
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.
VAU. And all her beauty has been taken away from the daughter of Sion: her princes were as rams finding no pasture, and are gone [away] in weakness before the face of 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.
ZAIN. Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, and her rejection; [she thought on] all her desirable things which were from the days of old, when her people fell into the hands of the oppressor, and there was none to help her: when her enemies saw [it] they laughed at her habitation.
8 Иф. Грехом согреши Иерусалим, того ради в мятеж бысть: вси славящии его смириша и, видеша бо срам его: сей же стенящь обратися вспять.
HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a [great] sin; therefore has she come into tribulation, all that used to honour her have afflicted her, for they have seen her shame: yes, she herself groaned, and turned backward.
9 Теф. Нечистота его пред ногама его, не помяну последних своих и низведеся пречудно: несть утешаяй его. Виждь, Господи, смирение мое, яко возвеличися враг.
TETH. Her uncleanness is before her feet; she remembered not her last end; she has lowered her boasting [tone], there is none to comfort her. Behold, O Lord, my affliction: for the enemy has magnified himself.
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.
JOD. The oppressor has stretched out his hand on all her desirable things: for she has seen the Gentiles entering into her sanctuary, [concerning] whom you did command that they should not enter into your congregation.
11 Каф. Вси людие его воздыхающе ищут хлеба: даша вожделенная своя за пищу, еже бы обратити душу. Виждь, Господи, и призри, яко бых безчестен.
CHAPH. All her people groan, seeking bread: they have given their desirable things for meat, to restore their soul: behold, Lord, and look; for she is become dishonoured.
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.
LAMED. All you that pass by the way, turn, and see if there is sorrow like to my sorrow, which has happened [to me]. The Lord who spoke by me has afflicted me in the day of his fierce 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.
MEM. He has sent fire from his lofty habitation, he has brought it into my bones: he has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: he has made me desolate [and] mourning all the day.
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.
NUN. He has watched over my sins, they are twined about my hands, they have come up on my neck: my strength has failed; for the Lord has laid pains on my hands, I shall not be able to stand.
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.
SAMECH. The Lord has cut off all my strong men from the midst of me: he has summoned against me a time for crushing my choice men: the Lord has trodden a wine-press for the virgin daughter of Juda: for these things I weep.
16 Аин. Очи мои излиясте воду, яко удалися от мене утешаяй мя, возвращаяй душу мою: погибоша сынове мои, яко возможе враг.
AIN. Mine eye has poured out water, because he that should comfort me, that should restore my soul, has been removed far from me: my sons have been destroyed, because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Фи. Возде руце свои Сион, несть утешаяй его. Заповеда Господь на Иакова, окрест его врази его: бысть Иерусалим яко осквернена кровоточением в них.
PHE. Sion has spread out her hand, [and] there is none to comfort her: the Lord has commanded [concerning] Jacob, his oppressors are round about him: Jerusalem has become amongst them as a removed woman.
18 Цади. Праведен есть Господь, яко уста Его огорчих. Слышите убо, вси людие, и видите болезнь мою: девицы моя и юноты отидоша в плен.
TSADE. The Lord is righteous; for I have provoked his mouth: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my grief: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
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.
KOPH. I called my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders failed in the city; for they sought meat that they might restore their souls, and found [it] not.
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.
RHECHS. Behold, O Lord; for I am afflicted: my belly is troubled, and my heart is turned within me; for I have been grievously rebellious: abroad the sword has bereaved me, even as death at home.
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.
CHSEN. Hear, I pray you, for I groan: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard [of] mine afflictions, and rejoice because you have done [it]: you have brought on the day, you have called the time: they are become like to 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.
THAU. Let all their wickedness come before your face; and strip them, as they have made a gleaning for all my sins: for my groans are many, and my heart is grieved.
