Lamentationes 5
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
5 Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum.
2 Haereditas nostra versa est ad alienos, domus nostrae ad extraneos.
3 Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostrae quasi viduae.
4 Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus; ligna nostra pretio comparavimus.
5 Cervicibus nostris minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies.
6 AEgypto dedimus manum et Assyriis, ut saturaremur pane.
7 Patres nostri peccaverunt, et non sunt: et nos iniquitates eorum portavimus.
8 Servi dominati sunt nostri: non fuit qui redimeret de manu eorum.
9 In animabus nostris afferebamus panem nobis, a facie gladii in deserto.
10 Pellis nostra quasi clibanus exusta est, a facie tempestatum famis.
11 Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt, et virgines in civitatibus Juda.
12 Principes manu suspensi sunt; facies senum non erubuerunt.
13 Adolescentibus impudice abusi sunt, et pueri in ligno corruerunt.
14 Senes defecerunt de portis, juvenes de choro psallentium.
15 Defecit gaudium cordis nostri; versus est in luctum chorus noster.
16 Cecidit corona capitis nostri: vae nobis, quia peccavimus!
17 Propterea moestum factum est cor nostrum; ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri,
18 propter montem Sion quia disperiit; vulpes ambulaverunt in eo.
19 Tu autem, Domine, in aeternum permanebis, solium tuum in generationem et generationem.
20 Quare in perpetuum oblivisceris nostri, derelinques nos in longitudine dierum?
21 Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur; innova dies nostros, sicut a principio.
22 Sed projiciens repulisti nos: iratus es contra nos vehementer.
Lamentations 5
New International Version
Lamentations 5
New International Version
5 Remember, Lord, what has happened to us;
look, and see our disgrace.(A)
2 Our inheritance(B) has been turned over to strangers,(C)
our homes(D) to foreigners.(E)
3 We have become fatherless,
our mothers are widows.(F)
4 We must buy the water we drink;(G)
our wood can be had only at a price.(H)
5 Those who pursue us are at our heels;
we are weary(I) and find no rest.(J)
6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria(K)
to get enough bread.
7 Our ancestors(L) sinned and are no more,
and we bear their punishment.(M)
8 Slaves(N) rule over us,
and there is no one to free us from their hands.(O)
9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives
because of the sword in the desert.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
feverish from hunger.(P)
11 Women have been violated(Q) in Zion,
and virgins in the towns of Judah.
12 Princes have been hung up by their hands;
elders(R) are shown no respect.(S)
13 Young men toil at the millstones;
boys stagger under loads of wood.
14 The elders are gone from the city gate;
the young men have stopped their music.(T)
15 Joy is gone from our hearts;
our dancing has turned to mourning.(U)
16 The crown(V) has fallen from our head.(W)
Woe to us, for we have sinned!(X)
17 Because of this our hearts(Y) are faint,(Z)
because of these things our eyes(AA) grow dim(AB)
18 for Mount Zion,(AC) which lies desolate,(AD)
with jackals prowling over it.
19 You, Lord, reign forever;(AE)
your throne endures(AF) from generation to generation.
20 Why do you always forget us?(AG)
Why do you forsake(AH) us so long?
21 Restore(AI) us to yourself, Lord, that we may return;
renew our days as of old
22 unless you have utterly rejected us(AJ)
and are angry with us beyond measure.(AK)
