Lamentations 1
1 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 among the nations, [and] princess among the provinces, has become tributary.
ああ哀しいかな古昔は人のみちみちたりし此都邑 いまは凄しき様にて坐し 寡婦のごとくになれり 嗟もろもろの民の中にて大いなりし者 もろもろの州の中に女王たりし者 いまはかへつて貢をいるる者となりぬ
2 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.
彼よもすがら痛く泣きかなしみて涙面にながる その戀人の中にはこれを慰むる者ひとりだに無く その朋これに背きてその仇となれり
3 GIMEL. Judea is gone into captivity by reason of her affliction, and by reason of the abundance of her servitude: she dwells among the nations, she has not found rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between her oppressors.
ユダは艱難の故によりまた大いなる苦役のゆゑによりて擄はれゆき もろもろの國に住ひて安息を得ず これを追ふものみな狭隘にてこれに追しきぬ
4 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.
シオンの道路は節會の上り來る者なきがために哀しみ その門はことごとく荒れ その祭司は歎き その處女は憂へ シオンもまた自から苦しむ
5 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.
その仇は首となり その敵は享ゆ その愆の多きによりてヱホバこれをなやませたまへるなり そのわかき子等は擄はれて仇の前にゆけり
6 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.
シオンの女よりはその榮華ことごとく離れされり またその牧伯等は草を得ざる鹿のごとくに成り おのれを追ふものの前に力つかれて歩みゆけり
7 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.
ヱルサレムはその艱難と窘迫の時むかしの代にありしもろもろの樂しき物を思ひ出づ その民仇の手におちいり誰もこれを助くるものなき時 仇人これを見てその荒はてたるを笑ふ
8 HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a [great] sin; therefore has she come into tribulation, all that used to honor her have afflicted her, for they have seen her shame: yes, she herself groaned, and turned backward.
ヱルサレムははなはだしく罪ををかしたれば汚穢たる者のごとくになれり 前にこれを尊とびたる者もその裸體を見しによりて皆これをいやしむ 是もまたみづから嗟き身をそむけて退けり
9 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.
その汚穢これが裾にあり 彼その終局をおもはざりき 此故に驚ろくまでに零落たり 一人の慰むる者だに無し ヱホバよわが艱難をかへりみたまへ 敵は勝ほこれり
10 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.
敵すでに手を伸てその財寳をことごとく奪ひたり 汝さきに異邦人等はなんぢの公會にいるべからずと命じおきたまひしに 彼らが聖所を侵しいるをシオンは見たり
11 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 dishonored.
その民はみな哀きて食物をもとめ その生命を支へんがために財寳を出して食にかへたり ヱホバよ見そなはし我のいやしめらるるを顧みたまへ
12 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.
すべて行路人よ なんぢら何ともおもはざるか ヱホバその烈しき震怒の日に我をなやましてわれに降したまへるこの憂苦にひとしき憂苦また世にあるべきや考がへ見よ
13 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.
ヱホバ上より火をくだしわが骨にいれて之を克服せしめ 網を張りわが足をとらへて我を後にむかしめ 我をして終日心さびしくかつ疾わづらはしめたまふ
14 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.
わが愆尤の軛は主の御手にて結ばれ諸の愆あひ纒はりてわが項にのれり 是はわが力をしておとろへしむ 主われを敵たりがたき者の手にわたしたまへり
15 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.
主われの中なる勇士をことごとく除き 節會をもよほして我を攻め わが少き人を打ほろぼしたまへり 主酒榨をふむがごとくにユダの處女をふみたまへり
16 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.
これがために我なげく わが目やわが目には水ながる わがたましひを活すべき慰さむるものわれに遠ければなり わが子等は敵の勝るによりて滅びうせにき
17 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 among them as a removed woman.
シオンは手をのぶれども誰もこれを慰むる者なし ヤコブにつきてはヱホバ命をくだしてその周圍の民をこれが敵とならしめたまふ ヱルサレムは彼らの中にありて汚れたる者のごとくなりぬ
18 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.
ヱホバは正し 我その命令にそむきたるなり 一切の民よわれに聽け わが憂苦をかへりみよ わが處女もわかき男も俘囚て往り
19 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.
われわが戀人を呼たれども彼らはわれを欺むけり わが祭司およびわが長老は生命を繋がんとて食物を求むる間に都邑の中にて氣息たえたり
20 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.
ヱホバよかへりみたまへ 我はなやみてをり わが膓わきかへり わが心わが衷に顛倒す 我甚しく悖りたればなり 外には劍ありてわが子を殺し 内には死のごとき者あり
21 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.
かれらはわが嗟歎をきけり 我をなぐさむるもの一人だに无し わが敵みなわが艱難をききおよび 汝のこれを爲たまひしを喜こべり 汝はさきに告しらせしその日を來らせたまはん 而して彼らもつひに我ごとくに成るべし
22 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.
ねがはくは彼等が與へし艱難をことごとくなんぢの御前にあらはし 前にわがもろもろの罪愆のために我におこなひし如く彼らにも行ひたまへ わが嗟歎は多くわが心はうれひかなしむなり
