Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Ενθυμήθητι, Κύριε, τι έγεινεν εις ημάς· επίβλεψον, και ιδέ τον ονειδισμόν ημών.
1 Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us. Look, and see our reproach.
2 Η κληρονομία ημών μετεστράφη εις αλλοτρίους, αι οικίαι ημών εις ξένους.
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3 Εγείναμεν ορφανοί άνευ πατρός, αι μητέρες ημών ως χήραι.
3 We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are as widows.
4 Με αργύριον επίομεν το ύδωρ ημών· τα ξύλα ημών επωλήθησαν εις ημάς.
4 We must pay for water to drink. Our wood is sold to us.
5 Επί τον τράχηλον ημών είναι διωγμός· εμοχθήσαμεν, ανάπαυσιν δεν έχομεν.
5 Our pursuers are on our necks. We are weary, and have no rest.
6 Ηπλώσαμεν χείρα προς τους Αιγυπτίους, προς τους Ασσυρίους, διά να χορτασθώμεν άρτον.
6 We have given our hands to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 Οι πατέρες ημών ημάρτησαν, εκείνοι δεν υπάρχουσι· και ημείς φέρομεν τας ανομίας αυτών.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more. We have borne their iniquities.
8 Δούλοι εξουσιάζουσιν εφ' ημάς· δεν υπάρχει ο λυτρόνων εκ της χειρός αυτών.
8 Servants rule over us. There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
9 Φέρομεν τον άρτον ημών μετά κινδύνου της ζωής ημών, απ' έμπροσθεν της ρομφαίας της ερήμου.
9 We get our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Το δέρμα ημών ημαυρώθη ως κλίβανος, από της καύσεως της πείνης.
10 Our skin is black like an oven, because of the burning heat of famine.
11 Εταπείνωσαν τας γυναίκας εν Σιών, τας παρθένους εν ταις πόλεσιν Ιούδα.
11 They ravished the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.
12 Οι άρχοντες εκρεμάσθησαν υπό των χειρών αυτών· τα πρόσωπα των πρεσβυτέρων δεν ετιμήθησαν.
12 Princes were hanged up by their hands. The faces of elders were not honored.
13 Οι νέοι υπεβλήθησαν εις το άλεσμα, και τα παιδία έπεσον υπό τα ξύλα.
13 The young men carry millstones. The children stumbled under loads of wood.
14 Οι πρεσβύτεροι έπαυσαν από των πυλών, οι νέοι από των ασμάτων αυτών.
14 The elders have ceased from the gate, and the young men from their music.
15 Έπαυσεν η χαρά της καρδίας ημών, ο χορός ημών εστράφη εις πένθος.
15 The joy of our heart has ceased. Our dance is turned into mourning.
16 Ο στέφανος της κεφαλής ημών έπεσεν· ουαί δε εις ημάς, διότι ημαρτήσαμεν.
16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Διά τούτο εξέλιπεν η καρδία ημών, διά ταύτα εσκοτοδινίασαν οι οφθαλμοί ημών.
17 For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim:
18 Διά την ερήμωσιν του όρους Σιών, αι αλώπεκες περιπατούσιν εν αυτώ.
18 for the mountain of Zion, which is desolate. The foxes walk on it.
19 Συ, Κύριε, κατοικείς εις τον αιώνα· ο θρόνος σου διαμένει εις γενεάν και γενεάν.
19 You, Yahweh, remain forever. Your throne is from generation to generation.
20 Διά τι θέλεις μας λησμονήσει διά παντός; θέλεις μας εγκαταλείψει εις μακρότητα ημερών;
20 Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?
21 Επίστρεψον ημάς, Κύριε, προς σε και θέλομεν επιστραφή. Ανανέωσον τας ημέρας ημών ως το πρότερον.
21 Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.
22 Διατί απέρριψας ημάς ολοτελώς, ωργίσθης εναντίον ημών έως σφόδρα;
22 But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.
