LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Μνήσθητι Κύριε, ὅ, τι ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν· ἐπίβλεψον, καὶ ἴδε τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν ἡμῶν.
1 Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us. Look, and see our reproach.
2 Κληρονομία ἡμῶν μετεστράθη ἀλλοτρίοις, οἱ οἶκοι ἡμῶν ξένοις.
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3 Ὀρφανοὶ ἐγενήθημεν, οὐχ ὑπάρχει πατὴρ, μητέρες ἡμῶν ὡς αἱ χῆραι.
3 We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are as widows.
4 Ὕδωρ ἡμῶν ἐν ἀργυρίῳ ἐπίομεν, ξύλα ἡμῶν ἐν ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον ἡμῶν·
4 We must pay for water to drink. Our wood is sold to us.
5 ἐδιώχθημεν, ἐκοπιάσαμεν, οὐκ ἀνεπαύθημεν.
5 Our pursuers are on our necks. We are weary, and have no rest.
6 Αἴγυπτος ἔδωκε χεῖρα, Ἀσσοὺρ εἰς πλησμονὴν αὐτῶν.
6 We have given our hands to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 Οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἥμαρτον, οὐχ ὑπάρχουσιν, ἡμεῖς τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν ὑπέσχομεν.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more. We have borne their iniquities.
8 Δοῦλοι ἐκυρίευσαν ἡμῶν, λυτρούμενος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
8 Servants rule over us. There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
9 Ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν εἰσοίσομεν ἄρτον ἡμῶν, ἀπὸ προσώπου ῥομφαίας τῆς ἐρήμου.
9 We get our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Τὸ δέρμα ἡμῶν ὡς κλίβανος ἐπελιώθη, συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου καταιγίδων λιμοῦ.
10 Our skin is black like an oven, because of the burning heat of famine.
11 Γυναῖκας ἐν Σιὼν ἐταπείνωσαν, παρθένους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα.
11 They ravished the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.
12 Ἄρχοντες ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἐκρεμάσθησαν, πρεσβύτεροι οὐκ ἐδοξάσθησαν.
12 Princes were hanged up by their hands. The faces of elders were not honored.
13 Ἐκλεκτοὶ κλαυθμὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ νεανίσκοι ἐν ξύλῳ ἠσθένησαν.
13 The young men carry millstones. The children stumbled under loads of wood.
14 Καὶ πρεσβύται ἀπὸ πύλης κατέπαυσαν, ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ ψαλμῶν αὐτῶν κατέπαυσαν.
14 The elders have ceased from the gate, and the young men from their music.
15 Κατέλυσε χαρὰ καρδίας ἡμῶν, ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος ὁ χορὸς ἡμῶν·
15 The joy of our heart has ceased. Our dance is turned into mourning.
16 Ἔπεσεν ὁ στέφανος ἡμῶν τῆς κεφαλῆς· οὐαὶ δὲ ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν.
16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Περὶ τούτου ἐγενήθη ὀδύνη, ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν, περὶ τούτου ἐσκότασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
17 For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim:
18 Ἐπʼ ὄρος Σιὼν, ὅτι ἠφανίσθη, ἀλώπεκες διῆλθον ἐν αὐτῇ.
18 for the mountain of Zion, which is desolate. The foxes walk on it.
19 Σὺ δὲ Κύριε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικήσεις, ὁ θρόνος σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
19 You, Yahweh, remain forever. Your throne is from generation to generation.
20 Ἱνατί εἰς νῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ ἡμῶν, καταλείψεις ἡμᾶς εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν;
20 Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?
21 Ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς Κύριε πρὸς σὲ, καὶ ἐπιστραφησόμεθα· καὶ ἀνακαίνισον ἡμέρας ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν.
21 Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.
22 Ὅτι ἀπωθούμενος ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς, ὠργίσθης ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ἕως σθόδρα.
22 But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.
