Плач Иеремии 2
1 Алеф. Како омрачи во гневе Своем Господь дщерь Сионю: сверже с небесе на землю славу Израилеву, и не помяну подножия ногу Своею в день гнева и ярости Своея.
Aleph. How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 Беф. Погрузи Господь и не пощаде: вся красная Иаковля разори яростию Своею, твердыни дщере Иудины изверже на землю, оскверни царя ея и князи ея,
Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof.
3 гимель. Сокруши во гневе ярости Своея весь рог Израилев, обрати вспять десницу его от лица врага, разжже во Иакове яко огнь пламы, и потреби вся окрест,
Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about.
4 далеф. Напряже лук Свой яко ратник противный, утверди десницу Свою яко супостат и изби вся красная очию моею во селениих дщере Сиони, излия яко огнь ярость Свою.
Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his indignation like fire.
5 Ге. Бысть Господь аки враг, погрузи Израиля, погрузи вся домы его, разсыпа вся стены его и умножи дщери Иудине смирена и смирену,
He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women.
6 вав. И разверзе аки виноград селение Свое, разсыпа праздники Его: забы Господь, яже сотвори в Сионе праздники и субботы, и озлоби прещением гнева Своего царя и князя и жерца.
Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath.
7 Заин. Отрину Господь жертвенник Свой, оттрясе святыню Свою, сокруши рукою вражиею стену забралов его: глас даша в дому Господни яко в день праздника.
Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 Иф. Обратися Господь разсыпати стену дщере Сиони: протяже меру, не отврати руки Своея от попрания: и сетова предградие, и ограда вкупе изнеможе.
Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together.
9 Теф. Врастоша в землю врата ея, погуби и сокруши вереи ея, царя ея и князи ея во языцех, несть закона, и пророцы ея не видеша видения от Господа.
Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
10 Иод. Седоша на земли, умолкоша старейшины дщере Сиони, посыпаша персть на главы своя, препоясашася во вретища, низведоша в землю старейшин дев Иерусалимских.
Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Каф. Оскудеша очи мои в слезах, смутися сердце мое, излияся на землю слава моя о сокрушении дщере людий моих, внегда оскуде младенец и ссущий на стогнах градских.
Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city.
12 Ламед. Матерем своим рекоша: где пшеница и вино? Внегда разслабленым быти им, яко язвеным на стогнах градских, егда изливахуся души их в лоно матерей их.
Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers.
13 Мем. Что ти засвидетелствую? Или что уподоблю тебе, дщи Иерусалимля? Кто тя спасет и кто тя утешит, девице, дщи Сионя? Яко возвеличися чаша сокрушения твоего, кто тя изцелит?
Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee?
14 Нун. Пророцы твои видеша тебе суетная и безумие и не открыша о неправде твоей, еже возвратити пленение твое, и видеша тебе словеса суетная и изриновения.
Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.
15 Самех. Восплескаша рукама о тебе вси минующии путем, позвиздаша и покиваша главою своею о дщери Иерусалимли, рекуще: сей ли град, венец славы, веселие всея земли?
Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth?
16 Аин. Отверзоша на тя уста своя вси врази твои, позвиздаша и поскрежеташа зубы своими и реша: поглотим ю: обаче сей день, егоже чаяхом, обретохом его, видехом.
Phe. All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we have seen it.
17 Фи. Сотвори Господь, яже помысли, сконча словеса Своя, яже заповеда от дний первых: разори и не пощаде, и возвесели о тебе врага, вознесе рог стужающаго ти.
Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries.
18 Цади. Возопи сердце их ко Господу, стены дщере Сиони да излиют якоже водотеча слезы день и нощь: не даждь покоя себе, и да не умолкнет зеница очию твоею.
Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease.
19 Коф. Востани, поучися в нощи в начале стражбы твоея, пролий яко воду сердце твое пред лицем Господним, воздвигни к Нему руце твои о душах младенец твоих, разслабленых гладом в начале всех исходов.
Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets.
20 Реш. Виждь, Господи, и призри, кого еси отребил сице? Еда снедят жены плод утробы своея? Отребление сотвори повар, избиют ли младенцев ссущих сосцы? Убиеши ли во святыни Господни жерца и пророка?
Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 Шин. Успоша на исходищих отрок и старец: девицы моя и юноты мои отидоша в плен, мечем и гладом избил еси, в день гнева Твоего сварил еси, не пощадел.
Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity.
22 Фав. Призвал еси яко день праздника пришелствия моя окрест, и не бысть в день гнева Господня уцелевый и оставыйся, яко сотворих возмощи и умножих враги моя вся.
Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them.
