Lamentations 1
1 How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! [how] is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, [and] princess among the provinces, [how] is she 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 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously 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 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
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 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh: her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
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 Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
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 And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before 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 Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her, the adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations.
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 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth 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 Her filthiness was in her skirts; she remembered not her latter end; therefore is she come down wonderfully; she hath no comforter: behold, O LORD, my affliction; for the enemy hath 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 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy 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 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to refresh the soul: see, O LORD, and behold; for I am become vile.
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 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath 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 From on high hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back; he hath made me desolate and faint 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 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; they are knit together, they are come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fail: the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not 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 The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; he hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
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 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy hath 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 Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
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 The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my sorrow: 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 I called for my lovers, [but] they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought them meat to refresh their souls.
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 Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress; my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.
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 They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto 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 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
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
