Lamentations 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 How the Lord in his wrath has detested daughter Zion! He has cast down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, Unmindful of his footstool on the day of his wrath.	1 πως εγνοφωσεν εν οργη αυτου κυριος την θυγατερα σιων κατερριψεν εξ ουρανου εις γην δοξασμα ισραηλ και ουκ εμνησθη υποποδιου ποδων αυτου εν ημερα οργης αυτου
2 The Lord has consumed without pity all the dwellings of Jacob; He has torn down in his anger the fortresses of daughter Judah; He has brought to the ground in dishonor her king and her princes.	2 κατεποντισεν κυριος ου φεισαμενος παντα τα ωραια ιακωβ καθειλεν εν θυμω αυτου τα οχυρωματα της θυγατρος ιουδα εκολλησεν εις την γην εβεβηλωσεν βασιλεα αυτης και αρχοντας αυτης
3 He broke off, in fiery wrath, the horn that was Israel's whole strength; He withheld the support of his right hand when the enemy approached; He blazed up in Jacob like a flaming fire devouring all about it.	3 συνεκλασεν εν οργη θυμου αυτου παν κερας ισραηλ απεστρεψεν οπισω δεξιαν αυτου απο προσωπου εχθρου και ανηψεν εν ιακωβ ως πυρ φλογα και κατεφαγεν παντα τα κυκλω
4 Like an enemy he made taut his bow; with his arrows in his right hand He took his stand as a foe, and slew all on whom the eye doted; Over the tent of daughter Zion he poured out his wrath like fire.	4 ενετεινεν τοξον αυτου ως εχθρος εστερεωσεν δεξιαν αυτου ως υπεναντιος και απεκτεινεν παντα τα επιθυμηματα οφθαλμων μου εν σκηνη θυγατρος σιων εξεχεεν ως πυρ τον θυμον αυτου
5 The Lord has become an enemy, he has consumed Israel: Consumed all her castles and destroyed her fortresses; For daughter Judah he has multiplied moaning and groaning.	5 εγενηθη κυριος ως εχθρος κατεποντισεν ισραηλ κατεποντισεν πασας τας βαρεις αυτης διεφθειρεν τα οχυρωματα αυτου και επληθυνεν τη θυγατρι ιουδα ταπεινουμενην και τεταπεινωμενην
6 He has demolished his shelter like a garden booth, he has destroyed his dwelling; In Zion the LORD has made feast and sabbath to be forgotten; He has scorned in fierce wrath both king and priest.	6 και διεπετασεν ως αμπελον το σκηνωμα αυτου διεφθειρεν εορτην αυτου επελαθετο κυριος ο εποιησεν εν σιων εορτης και σαββατου και παρωξυνεν εμβριμηματι οργης αυτου βασιλεα και ιερεα και αρχοντα
7 The Lord has disowned his altar, rejected his sanctuary; The walls of her towers he has handed over to the enemy, Who shout in the house of the LORD as on a feast day.	7 απωσατο κυριος θυσιαστηριον αυτου απετιναξεν αγιασμα αυτου συνετριψεν εν χειρι εχθρου τειχος βαρεων αυτης φωνην εδωκαν εν οικω κυριου ως εν ημερα εορτης
8 The LORD marked for destruction the wall of daughter Zion: He stretched out the measuring line; his hand brought ruin, yet he did not relent-- He brought grief on wall and rampart till both succumbed.	8 και επεστρεψεν κυριος του διαφθειραι τειχος θυγατρος σιων εξετεινεν μετρον ουκ απεστρεψεν χειρα αυτου απο καταπατηματος και επενθησεν το προτειχισμα και τειχος ομοθυμαδον ησθενησεν
9 Sunk into the ground are her gates; he has removed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the pagans; priestly instruction is wanting, And her prophets have not received any vision from the LORD.	9 ενεπαγησαν εις γην πυλαι αυτης απωλεσεν και συνετριψεν μοχλους αυτης βασιλεα αυτης και αρχοντας αυτης εν τοις εθνεσιν ουκ εστιν νομος και γε προφηται αυτης ουκ ειδον ορασιν παρα κυριου
10 On the ground in silence sit the old men of daughter Zion; They strew dust on their heads and gird themselves with sackcloth; The maidens of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground.	10 εκαθισαν εις την γην εσιωπησαν πρεσβυτεροι θυγατρος σιων ανεβιβασαν χουν επι την κεφαλην αυτων περιεζωσαντο σακκους κατηγαγον εις γην αρχηγους παρθενους εν ιερουσαλημ
11 Worn out from weeping are my eyes, within me all is in ferment; My gall is poured out on the ground because of the downfall of the daughter of my people, As child and infant faint away in the open spaces of the town.	11 εξελιπον εν δακρυσιν οι οφθαλμοι μου εταραχθη η καρδια μου εξεχυθη εις γην η δοξα μου επι το συντριμμα της θυγατρος του λαου μου εν τω εκλιπειν νηπιον και θηλαζοντα εν πλατειαις πολεως
12 They ask their mothers, "Where is the cereal?"--in vain, As they faint away like the wounded in the streets of the city, And breathe their last in their mothers' arms.	12 ταις μητρασιν αυτων ειπαν που σιτος και οινος εν τω εκλυεσθαι αυτους ως τραυματιας εν πλατειαις πολεως εν τω εκχεισθαι ψυχας αυτων εις κολπον μητερων αυτων
13 To what can I liken or compare you, O daughter Jerusalem? What example can I show you for your comfort, virgin daughter Zion? For great as the sea is your downfall; who can heal you?	13 τι μαρτυρησω σοι η τι ομοιωσω σοι θυγατερ ιερουσαλημ τις σωσει σε και παρακαλεσει σε παρθενος θυγατερ σιων οτι εμεγαλυνθη ποτηριον συντριβης σου τις ιασεται σε
14 Your prophets had for you false and specious visions; They did not lay bare your guilt, to avert your fate; They beheld for you in vision false and misleading portents.	14 προφηται σου ειδοσαν σοι ματαια και αφροσυνην και ουκ απεκαλυψαν επι την αδικιαν σου του επιστρεψαι αιχμαλωσιαν σου και ειδοσαν σοι λημματα ματαια και εξωσματα
15 All who pass by clap their hands at you; They hiss and wag their heads over daughter Jerusalem: "Is this the all-beautiful city, the joy of the whole earth?"	15 εκροτησαν επι σε χειρας παντες οι παραπορευομενοι οδον εσυρισαν και εκινησαν την κεφαλην αυτων επι την θυγατερα ιερουσαλημ η αυτη η πολις ην ερουσιν στεφανος δοξης ευφροσυνη πασης της γης
16 All your enemies open their mouths against you; They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, "We have devoured her. This at last is the day we hoped for; we have lived to see it!"	16 διηνοιξαν επι σε στομα αυτων παντες οι εχθροι σου εσυρισαν και εβρυξαν οδοντας ειπαν κατεπιομεν αυτην πλην αυτη η ημερα ην προσεδοκωμεν ευρομεν αυτην ειδομεν
17 The LORD has done as he decreed: he has fulfilled the threat He set forth from days of old; he has destroyed and had no pity, Letting the enemy gloat over you and exalting the horn of your foes.	17 εποιησεν κυριος α ενεθυμηθη συνετελεσεν ρηματα αυτου α ενετειλατο εξ ημερων αρχαιων καθειλεν και ουκ εφεισατο και ηυφρανεν επι σε εχθρον υψωσεν κερας θλιβοντος σε
18 Cry out to the Lord; moan, O daughter Zion! Let your tears flow like a torrent day and night; Let there be no respite for you, no repose for your eyes.	18 εβοησεν καρδια αυτων προς κυριον τειχη σιων καταγαγετε ως χειμαρρους δακρυα ημερας και νυκτος μη δως εκνηψιν σεαυτη μη σιωπησαιτο θυγατερ ο οφθαλμος σου
19 Rise up, shrill in the night, at the beginning of every watch; Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord; Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your little ones (Who faint from hunger at the corner of every street).	19 αναστα αγαλλιασαι εν νυκτι εις αρχας φυλακης σου εκχεον ως υδωρ καρδιαν σου απεναντι προσωπου κυριου αρον προς αυτον χειρας σου περι ψυχης νηπιων σου των εκλυομενων λιμω επ' αρχης πασων εξοδων
20 "Look, O LORD, and consider: whom have you ever treated thus? Must women eat their offspring, their well-formed children? Are priest and prophet to be slain in the sanctuary of the LORD?	20 ιδε κυριε και επιβλεψον τινι επεφυλλισας ουτως ει φαγονται γυναικες καρπον κοιλιας αυτων επιφυλλιδα εποιησεν μαγειρος φονευθησονται νηπια θηλαζοντα μαστους αποκτενεις εν αγιασματι κυριου ιερεα και προφητην
21 "Dead in the dust of the streets lie young and old; My maidens and young men have fallen by the sword; You have slain on the day of your wrath, slaughtered without pity.	21 εκοιμηθησαν εις την εξοδον παιδαριον και πρεσβυτης παρθενοι μου και νεανισκοι μου επορευθησαν εν αιχμαλωσια εν ρομφαια και εν λιμω απεκτεινας εν ημερα οργης σου εμαγειρευσας ουκ εφεισω
22 "You summoned as for a feast day terrors against me from all sides; There was not, on the day of your wrath, either fugitive or survivor; Those whom I bore and reared my enemy has utterly destroyed."	22 εκαλεσεν ημεραν εορτης παροικιας μου κυκλοθεν και ουκ εγενοντο εν ημερα οργης κυριου ανασωζομενος και καταλελειμμενος ως επεκρατησα και επληθυνα εχθρους μου παντας
