Lamentations 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 ALEPH. O how a city once filled with people now sits alone! The Governess of the Gentiles has become like a widow. The Prince of the provinces has been placed under tribute.	1 Πως εκαθησε μονη η πολις η πεπληθυμμενη λαων. Κατεστη ως χηρα η πεπληθυμμενη εν εθνεσιν, η αρχουσα εν ταις επαρχιαις? εγεινεν υποτελης.
2 BETH. Weeping, she has wept through the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. There is no one to be a comfort to her and to all her beloved. All her friends have spurned her, and they have become her enemies.	2 Ακαταπαυστως κλαιει την νυκτα και τα δακρυα αυτης καταρρεουσιν επι τας σιαγονας αυτης? εκ παντων των αγαπωντων αυτην δεν υπαρχει ο παρηγορων αυτην? παντες οι φιλοι αυτης εφερθησαν προς αυτην απιστως? εχθροι εγειναν εις αυτην.
3 GHIMEL. Judah has migrated because of affliction and great servitude. She has lived among the nations and not found rest. All of her persecutors have apprehended her, amid torments.	3 Ηχμαλωτισθη ο Ιουδας υπο θλιψεως και υπο βαρειας δουλειας? καθηται εν τοις εθνεσι? δεν ευρισκει αναπαυσιν? παντες οι διωκται αυτου κατελαβον αυτον εν μεσω των στενων.
4 DALETH. The pathways of Zion mourn, because there are none who approach for the solemnity. All her gates are destroyed. Her priests groan. Her virgins are filthy. And she is overwhelmed with bitterness.	4 Αι οδοι της Σιων πενθουσι, διοτι ουδεις ερχεται εις τας εορτας? πασαι αι πυλαι αυτης ειναι ερημοι οι ιερεις αυτης αναστεναζουσιν? αι παρθενοι αυτης ειναι περιλυποι και αυτη πληρης πικριας.
5 HE. Her enemies have been made her leaders; her adversaries have been enriched. For the Lord has spoken against her, because of the multitude of her iniquities. Her little ones have been led into captivity before the face of the tribulator.	5 Οι εναντιοι αυτης εγειναν κεφαλη, οι εχθροι αυτης ευημερουσι? διοτι ο Κυριος κατεθλιψεν αυτην δια το πληθος των ανομιων αυτης? τα νηπια αυτης επορευθησαν εις αιχμαλωσιαν εμπροσθεν του εχθρου.
6 VAU. And all her elegance has departed, from the daughter of Zion. Her leaders have become like rams that cannot find pasture, and they have gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer.	6 Και εφυγεν απο της θυγατρος Σιων πασα η δοξα αυτης? οι αρχοντες αυτης εγειναν ως ελαφοι μη ευρισκουσαι βοσκην, και εβαδιζον χωρις δυναμεως εμπροσθεν του διωκοντος.
7 ZAIN. Jerusalem has remembered the days of her affliction and the betrayal of all her desirable ones, whom she held from the days of antiquity, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and there was no one to be a helper. The enemies have looked upon her and mocked her Sabbaths.	7 Ενεθυμηθη η Ιερουσαλημ εν ταις ημεραις της θλιψεως αυτης και της εξωσεως αυτης παντα τα επιθυμητα αυτης, τα οποια ειχεν απο χρονων αρχαιων, οτε επεσεν ο λαος αυτης εις την χειρα του εχθρου και δεν υπηρχεν ο βοηθων αυτην? ειδον αυτην οι εχθροι, εγελασαν επι τη καταπαυσει αυτης.
8 HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a grievous sin. Because of this, she has become unstable. All who glorified her have spurned her, because they have looked upon her disgrace. Then she groaned and turned away again.	8 Αμαρτιαν ημαρτησεν η Ιερουσαλημ? δια τουτο εγεινεν ως ακαθαρτος? παντες οι δοξαζοντες αυτην κατεφρονησαν αυτην, διοτι ειδον την ασχημοσυνην αυτης? αυτη δε ανεστεναζε και απεστραφη εις τα οπισω.
9 TETH. Her filth is on her feet, and her end has not been remembered. She has been vehemently put down, having no consolation. O Lord, look upon my affliction, for the adversary has been lifted up.	9 Η ακαθαρσια αυτης ητο εις τα κρασπεδα αυτης? δεν ενεθυμηθη τα τελη αυτης? οθεν εταπεινωθη εξαισιως? δεν υπηρχεν ο παρηγορων αυτην. Ιδε, Κυριε, την θλιψιν μου, διοτι εμεγαλυνθη ο εχθρος.
10 JOD. The enemy has sent his hand against all her desirable ones. For she has watched the Gentiles enter her sanctuary, even though you instructed that they should not enter into your church.	10 Ο εχθρος εξηπλωσε την χειρα αυτου επι παντα τα επιθυμητα αυτης? διοτι αυτη ειδε τα εθνη εισερχομενα εις το αγιαστηριον αυτης, τα οποια προσεταξας να μη εισελθωσιν εις την συναγωγην σου.
11 CAPH. All her people are groaning and seeking bread. They have given up whatever was precious in exchange for food, so as to remain alive. See, O Lord, and consider, for I have become vile.	11 Πας ο λαος αυτης καταστεναζει, ζητων αρτον? εδωκαν τα επιθυμητα αυτων αντι τροφης, δια να επανελθη η ψυχη αυτων. Ιδε, Κυριε, και επιβλεψον? διοτι εγεινα εξουθενημενη.
12 LAMED. O all you who pass by the way, attend, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow. For he has made me a vintage, just as the Lord has spoken in the day of his furious anger.	12 Ω, προς υμας, παντες οι διαβαινοντες την οδον? επιβλεψατε και ιδετε, αν ηναι πονος κατα τον πονον μου, οστις εγεινεν εις εμε, με τον οποιον με εθλιψεν ο Κυριος εν τη ημερα της οργης του θυμου αυτου.
13 MEM. From on high, he has sent fire into my bones, and he has educated me. He has spread a net for my feet; he has turned me back. He has placed me in desolation, consumed by grief, all day long.	13 Εξαπεστειλεν εξ υψους πυρ επι τα οστα μου και κατεκρατησεν αυτα? ηπλωσε δικτυον εις τους ποδας μου? με εστρεψεν εις τα οπισω? με κατεστησεν ηφανισμενην, ολην την ημεραν οδυνωμενην.
14 NUN. Vigilant is the yoke of my iniquities. They have been folded together in his hand and imposed on my neck. My virtue has been weakened. The Lord has given me into a hand, out of which I am not able to rise.	14 Ο ζυγος των ασεβηματων μου συνεσφιγχθη δια της χειρος αυτου? περιεπλεχθησαν, ανεβησαν επι τον τραχηλον μου, κατελυσε την δυναμιν μου? ο Κυριος με παρεδωκεν εις χειρας, εξ ων δεν δυναμαι να εγερθω.
15 SAMECH. The Lord has taken away all of my great ones from my midst. He has called forth time against me, so as to crush my elect ones. The Lord has trampled the winepress, which was for the virgin daughter of Judah.	15 Ο Κυριος κατεστρωσε παντας τους δυνατους μου εν τω μεσω μου? εκαλεσεν επ' εμε ωρισμενον καιρον δια να συντριψη τους εκλεκτους μου? ο Κυριος επατησεν εν ληνω την παρθενον, την θυγατερα Ιουδα.
16 AIN. For this I weep, and my eyes bring forth water. For the consoler has been far away from me, changing my soul. My sons have become lost, because the enemy has prevailed.	16 Δια ταυτα εγω θρηνω? οι οφθαλμοι μου, οι οφθαλμοι μου καταρρεουσιν υδατα? διοτι απεμακρυνθη απ' εμου ο παρηγορητης ο αναζωοποιων την ψυχην μου? οι υιοι μου ηφανισθησαν, διοτι υπερισχυσεν ο εχθρος.
17 PHE. Zion has reached out her hands; there is no one to console her. The Lord has given orders against Jacob; his enemies are all around him. Jerusalem among them is like a woman made unclean by menstruation.	17 Η Σιων εκτεινει τας χειρας αυτης, δεν υπαρχει ο παρηγορων αυτην? ο Κυριος προσεταξε περι του Ιακωβ? οι εχθροι αυτου περιεκυκλωσαν αυτον? η Ιερουσαλημ εγεινε μεταξυ αυτων ως ακαθαρτος.
18 SADE. The Lord is just, for it is I who has provoked his mouth to wrath. I beg all people to listen and to see my sorrow. My virgins and my youths have gone into captivity.	18 Δικαιος ειναι ο Κυριος διοτι απεστατησα απο του λογου αυτου. Ακουσατε, παρακαλω, παντες οι λαοι, και ιδετε τον πονον μου? αι παρθενοι μου και οι νεανισκοι μου επορευθησαν εις αιχμαλωσιαν.
19 COPH. I called for my friends, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders have been consumed in the city. For they were seeking their food, so as to revive their life.	19 Εκαλεσα τους αγαπωντας με, αλλ' αυτοι με ηπατησαν? οι ιερεις μου και οι πρεσβυτεροι μου εξεπνευσαν εν τη πολει, διοτι εζητησαν τροφην υπερ εαυτων δια να επανελθη η ψυχη αυτων.
20 RES. See, O Lord, that I am in tribulation. My bowels have been disturbed, my heart has been subverted within me, for I am filled with bitterness. Outside, the sword puts to death, and at home there is a similar death.	20 Ιδε, Κυριε, διοτι θλιβομαι? τα εντοσθια μου ταραττονται, η καρδια μου αναστρεφεται εντος μου, διοτι μεγαλως απεστατησα? εξωθεν ητεκνωσεν η μαχαιρα? εν τω οικω ο θανατος.
21 SIN. They have heard that I groan and that there is no one to console me. All my enemies have heard of my misfortune; they have rejoiced that you caused it. You have brought in a day of consolation, and so they shall become like me.	21 Ηκουσαν, διοτι στεναζω? δεν υπαρχει ο παρηγορων με? παντες οι εχθροι μου ηκουσαν την συμφοραν μου? εχαρησαν οτι συ εκαμες τουτο ? οταν φερης την ημεραν, την οποιαν εκαλεσας, αυτοι θελουσι γεινει ως εγω.
22 THAU. Let all their evil enter before you. And make vintage of them, just as you made vintage of me, because of all my iniquities. For my sighs are many, and my heart is grieving.	22 Ας ελθη ενωπιον σου πασα η κακια αυτων? και καμε εις αυτους ως εκαμες εις εμε δια παντα τα αμαρτηματα μου? διοτι πολλοι ειναι οι στεναγμοι μου και η καρδια μου εξελιπε.
