Lamentations 5

KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.1 Recordare, Domine, quid acci derit nobis;
intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum.
2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.2 Hereditas nostra versa est ad alienos,
domus nostrae ad extraneos.
3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.3 Pupilli facti sumus absque patre,
matres nostrae quasi viduae.
4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.4 Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus,
ligna nostra pretio comparamus.
5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.5 Iugum in cervicibus nostris minamur;
lassis non datur requies.
6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.6 Aegyptiis dedimus manum et Assyriis,
ut saturaremur pane.
7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.7 Patres nostri peccaverunt et non sunt,
et nos iniquitates eorum portamus.
8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.8 Servi dominantur nostri;
non est qui redimat de manu eorum.
9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.9 Vitae nostrae periculo afferimus panem nobis
a facie gladii in deserto.
10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.10 Pellis nostra quasi clibanus exusta est
propter aestum famis.
11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.11 Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt
et virgines in civitatibus Iudae.
12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.12 Principes manu eorum suspensi sunt;
facies senum honorem non habuerunt.
13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.13 Adulescentes molam portaverunt,
et pueri sub lignis corruerunt.
14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.14 Senes deficiunt de portis,
iuvenes de choro psallentium.
15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.15 Defecit gaudium cordis nostri;
versus est in luctum chorus noster.
16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!16 Cecidit corona capitis nostri;
vae nobis, quia peccavimus!
17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.17 Propterea maestum factum est cor nostrum,
ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri,
18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.18 propter montem Sion, quia desolatus est:
vulpes ambulant in eo.
19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.19 Tu autem, Domine, in aeternum permanebis,
solium tuum in generationem et generationem.
20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?20 Quare in perpetuum oblivisceris nostri,
derelinques nos in longitudinem dierum?
21 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.21 Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur;
innova dies nostros sicut a principio.
22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.22 Ergone proiciens reppulisti nos,
iratus es contra nos vehementer?
