Lamentations 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us. Consider and look kindly upon our disgrace.	1 זְכֹר יְהוָה מֶה־הָיָה לָנוּ [הַבֵּיט כ] (הַבִּיטָה ק) וּרְאֵה אֶת־חֶרְפָּתֵנוּ
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to foreigners; our houses to outsiders.	2 נַחֲלָתֵנוּ נֶהֶפְכָה לְזָרִים בָּתֵּינוּ לְנָכְרִים
3 We have become orphans without a father; our mothers are like widows.	3 יְתֹומִים הָיִינוּ [אֵין כ] (וְאֵין ק) אָב אִמֹּתֵינוּ כְּאַלְמָנֹות
4 We paid for our drinking water. We acquired our wood for a price.	4 מֵימֵינוּ בְּכֶסֶף שָׁתִינוּ עֵצֵינוּ בִּמְחִיר יָבֹאוּ
5 We were dragged by our necks. Being weary, no rest was given to us.	5 עַל צַוָּארֵנוּ נִרְדָּפְנוּ יָגַעְנוּ [לֹא כ] (וְלֹא ק) הוּנַח־לָנוּ
6 We have given our hand to Egypt and to the Assyrians, so that we may be satisfied with bread.	6 מִצְרַיִם נָתַנּוּ יָד אַשּׁוּר לִשְׂבֹּעַ לָחֶם
7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not. And we have carried their iniquities.	7 אֲבֹתֵינוּ חָטְאוּ [אֵינָם כ] (וְאֵינָם ק) [אֲנַחְנוּ כ] (וַאֲנַחְנוּ ק) עֲוֹנֹתֵיהֶם סָבָלְנוּ
8 Servants have become rulers over us. There was no one to redeem us from their hand.	8 עֲבָדִים מָשְׁלוּ בָנוּ פֹּרֵק אֵין מִיָּדָם
9 We obtained our bread at the risk of our lives, before the face of the sword, in the wilderness.	9 בְּנַפְשֵׁנוּ נָבִיא לַחְמֵנוּ מִפְּנֵי חֶרֶב הַמִּדְבָּר
10 Our skin was burned, as if by an oven, before the face of the tempest of the famine.	10 עֹורֵנוּ כְּתַנּוּר נִכְמָרוּ מִפְּנֵי זַלְעֲפֹות רָעָב
11 They humiliated the women in Zion and the virgins in the cities of Judah.	11 נָשִׁים בְּצִיֹּון עִנּוּ בְּתֻלֹת בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה
12 The leaders were suspended by their hand. They were not ashamed before the faces of the elders.	12 שָׂרִים בְּיָדָם נִתְלוּ פְּנֵי זְקֵנִים לֹא נֶהְדָּרוּ
13 They have sexually abused the adolescents, and the children were corrupted in the wood.	13 בַּחוּרִים טְחֹון נָשָׂאוּ וּנְעָרִים בָּעֵץ כָּשָׁלוּ
14 The elders have ceased from the gates, the youths from the choir of the psalms.	14 זְקֵנִים מִשַּׁעַר שָׁבָתוּ בַּחוּרִים מִנְּגִינָתָם
15 The gladness of our heart has failed, our singing has been turned into mourning.	15 שָׁבַת מְשֹׂושׂ לִבֵּנוּ נֶהְפַּךְ לְאֵבֶל מְחֹלֵנוּ
16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned.	16 נָפְלָה עֲטֶרֶת רֹאשֵׁנוּ אֹוי־נָא לָנוּ כִּי חָטָאנוּ
17 Because of this, our heart became gloomy; for this reason, our eyes have been darkened:	17 עַל־זֶה הָיָה דָוֶה לִבֵּנוּ עַל־אֵלֶּה חָשְׁכוּ עֵינֵינוּ
18 because of mount Zion, because it was ruined. Foxes have wandered upon it.	18 עַל הַר־צִיֹּון שֶׁשָּׁמֵם שׁוּעָלִים הִלְּכוּ־בֹו׃ פ
19 But you, O Lord, shall remain for eternity, your throne from generation to generation.	19 אַתָּה יְהוָה לְעֹולָם תֵּשֵׁב כִּסְאֲךָ לְדֹר וָדֹור
20 Why would you forget us forever? Why would you forsake us for a long time?	20 לָמָּה לָנֶצַח תִּשְׁכָּחֵנוּ תַּעַזְבֵנוּ לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים
21 Convert us, O Lord, to you, and we shall be converted. Renew our days, as from the beginning.	21 הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ יְהוָה ׀ אֵלֶיךָ [וְנָשׁוּב כ] (וְנָשׁוּבָה ק) חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵינוּ כְּקֶדֶם
22 But you have utterly rejected us; you are vehemently angry against us.	22 כִּי אִם־מָאֹס מְאַסְתָּנוּ קָצַפְתָּ עָלֵינוּ עַד־מְאֹד
