Lamentations 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 ALEPH. O how the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with gloom in his fury! O how he has thrown down from heaven to earth the famous one of Israel, and he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his fury.	1 Πως περιεκαλυψεν ο Κυριος με νεφος την θυγατερα Σιων εν τη οργη αυτου, κατερριψεν απο του ουρανου εις την γην την δοξαν του Ισραηλ, και δεν ενεθυμηθη εν τη ημερα της οργης αυτου το υποποδιον των ποδων αυτου
2 BETH. The Lord has cast down, and he has not been lenient, with all the beauties of Jacob. In his fury, he has destroyed the fortifications of the virgin of Judah, and he has thrown them down to the ground. He has polluted the kingdom and its leaders.	2 Ο Κυριος κατεποντισε πασας τας κατοικιας του Ιακωβ και δεν εφεισθη? κατεστρεψεν εν τω θυμω αυτου τα οχυρωματα της θυγατρος Ιουδα? κατηδαφισεν αυτα? εβεβηλωσε το βασιλειον και τους αρχοντας αυτου.
3 GHIMEL. In the anger of his fury, he has broken the entire horn of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the face of the enemy. And he has kindled within Jacob a flaming fire, devouring all around.	3 Συνεθλασεν εν τη εξαψει του θυμου αυτου παν το κερας του Ισραηλ? εστρεψεν οπισω την δεξιαν αυτου απ' εμπροσθεν του εχθρου? και εξηφθη κατα του Ιακωβ ως πυρ φλογερον, κατατρωγον τα περιξ.
4 DALETH. He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has fixed his right hand like an adversary. And he has cut down all that was beautiful to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion. He has poured out his indignation like fire.	4 Ενετεινε το τοξον αυτου ως εχθρος, εστησε την δεξιαν αυτου ως υπεναντιος, και εφονευσε παν το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους εν τη σκηνη της θυγατρος Σιων? εξεχεεν ως πυρ τον θυμον αυτου.
5 HE. The Lord has become like an enemy. He has thrown down Israel. He has thrown down all of his defenses. He has torn apart his fortifications. And he has filled the daughter of Judah with humbled men and humbled women.	5 Ο Κυριος εγεινεν ως εχθρος, κατεποντισε τον Ισραηλ? κατεποντισε παντα τα παλατια αυτου? ηφανισε τα οχυρωματα αυτου? και επληθυνεν εις την θυγατερα Ιουδα το πενθος και την θλιψιν.
6 VAU. And he has torn apart her tent like a garden. He has demolished her tabernacle. In Zion, the Lord has delivered feast and Sabbath into oblivion, and king and priest into disgrace, and into the indignation of his fury.	6 Και εξεσπασε την σκηνην αυτου ως καλυβην κηπου? κατηφανισε τον τοπον των συναξεων αυτου? ο Κυριος εκαμε να λησμονηθη εν Σιων η εορτη και το σαββατον, και εν τη αγανακτησει της οργης αυτου απερριψε βασιλεα και ιερεα.
7 ZAIN. The Lord has pushed away his own altar. He has cursed his own sanctuary. He has delivered the walls of its towers into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as if on the day of a solemnity.	7 Ο Κυριος απεβαλε το θυσιαστηριον αυτου, εβδελυχθη το αγιαστηριον αυτου? συνεκλεισεν εν τη χειρι των εχθρων τα τειχη των παλατιων αυτης? ηλαλαξαν εν τω οικω του Κυριου ως εν ημερα εορτης.
8 HETH. The Lord has decided to tear down the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out his measuring line, and he has not turn away his hand from perdition. And the rampart has mourned, and with the wall it has been torn apart.	8 Ο Κυριος εβουλευθη να αφανιση το τειχος της θυγατρος Σιων? εξετεινε την σταθμην, δεν απεστρεψε την χειρα αυτου απο του να καταποντιζη, και εκαμε να πενθηση το περιτειχισμα και το τειχος? τα παντα ητονησαν ομου.
9 TETH. Her gates have been buried in the ground. He has ruined and crushed its bars. Her king and her princes are with the Gentiles. There is no law, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.	9 Αι πυλαι αυτης ενεπηχθησαν εις την γην? ηφανισε και κατεσυντριψε τους μοχλους αυτης? ο βασιλευς αυτης και οι αρχοντες αυτης ειναι εν τοις εθνεσι? νομος δεν υπαρχει? ουδε οι προφηται αυτης ευρισκουσιν ορασιν παρα Κυριου.
10 JOD. The elders of the daughter of Zion have become idle; they sit on the ground. They have sprinkled their heads with ashes. They have been wrapped with haircloth. The virgins of Jerusalem have cast their heads down to the ground.	10 Οι πρεσβυτεροι της θυγατρος Σιων, καθηνται κατα γης, σιωπωντες? ανεβιβασαν χωμα επι την κεφαλην αυτων, εζωσθησαν σακκους? αι παρθενοι της Ιερουσαλημ κατεβιβασαν τας κεφαλας αυτων προς την γην.
11 CAPH. My eyes have exhausted their tears. My internal organs have become disturbed. My liver has been poured out on the earth, over the grief of the daughter of my people, when the little ones and the infants passed away in the streets of the town.	11 Οι οφθαλμοι μου εμαρανθησαν υπο των δακρυων, τα εντοσθια μου ταραττονται, η χολη μου εξεχυθη εις την γην, δια τον συντριμμον της θυγατρος του λαου μου, επειδη τα νηπια και τα θηλαζοντα ελιποψυχουν εν ταις πλατειαις της πολεως.
12 LAMED. They said to their mothers, “Where is the wheat and the wine?” when they fell like the wounded in the streets of the city, when they breathed out their lives into the bosoms of their mothers.	12 Ειπον προς τας μητερας αυτων, Που ειναι σιτος και οινος; Οποτε ελιποθυμουν εν ταις πλατειαις της πολεως ως ο τραυματιας, οποτε η ψυχη αυτων εξεχεετο εις τον κολπον των μητερων αυτων.
13 MEM. To what shall I compare you, or to what shall I liken you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what shall I equate you, so as to console you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your destruction is as great as the sea. Who will cure you?	13 Τινα να λαβω μαρτυρα εις σε; με τι να σε συγκρινω, θυγατηρ της Ιερουσαλημ; Με ποιον να σε εξομοιωσω δια να σε παρηγορησω, παρθενε, θυγατηρ Σιων; Διοτι ο συντριμμος σου ειναι μεγας ως η θαλασσα? τις δυναται να σε ιατρευση;
14 NUN. Your prophets have seen false and foolish things for you. And they have not laid open your iniquity, so as to provoke you to repentance. Yet they have seen for you false revelations and banishments.	14 Οι προφηται σου ειδον περι σου ματαια και αφροσυνην, και δεν εφανερωσαν την ανομιαν σου, δια να αποστρεψωσι την αιχμαλωσιαν σου? αλλ' ειδον περι σου φορτια ματαια και προξενα εξωσεως.
15 SAMECH. All those who passed by the way have clapped their hands over you. They have hissed and shook their heads over the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city of perfect dignity, the joy of all the earth?”	15 Παντες οι διαβαινοντες την οδον εκροτησαν επι σε χειρας? εσυριξαν και εσεισαν τας κεφαλας αυτων εις την θυγατερα της Ιερουσαλημ, λεγοντες, Αυτη ειναι η πολις, περι της οποιας ελεγετο, Η εντελεια της ωραιοτητος, η χαρα πασης της γης;
16 PHE. All your enemies have opened their mouth over you. They have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and they said: “We will devour her. Yes, this is the day we waited for. We have found it, we have seen it.”	16 Παντες οι εχθροι σου ηνοιξαν επι σε το στομα αυτων? εσυριξαν και ετριξαν τους οδοντας λεγοντες, Κατεπιομεν αυτην? αυτη τωοντι ειναι η ημερα, την οποιαν περιεμενομεν? ευρομεν, ειδομεν.
17 AIN. The Lord has done what he decided to do. He has fulfilled his word, which he instructed since the days of antiquity. He has destroyed, and he has not been lenient, and he has caused the enemy to rejoice over you, and he has exalted the horn of your adversaries.	17 Ο Κυριος εκαμεν ο, τι εβουλευθη? εξεπληρωσε τον λογον αυτου, τον οποιον διωρισεν απο ημερων αρχαιων? Κατεστρεψε και δεν εφεισθη, και ευφρανεν επι σε τον εχθρον? υψωσε το κερας των εναντιων σου.
18 SADE. Their heart cried out to the Lord from the walls of the daughter of Zion. Let tears run down like a torrent throughout the day and the night. Do not give rest to yourself, and do not allow the pupil of your eye to cease.	18 Η καρδια αυτων εβοησε προς τον Κυριον, Τειχος της θυγατρος Σιων, καταβιβαζε ως χειμαρρον δακρυα ημεραν και νυκτα? μη δωσης παυσιν εις σεαυτον? ας μη σιωπηση η κορη των οφθαλμων σου.
19 COPH. Rise up. Give praise in the night, in the first of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the sight of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him on behalf of the souls of your little ones, who have passed away from famine at the head of all the crossroads.	19 Σηκωθητι, βοησον την νυκτα, οταν αρχιζωσιν αι φυλακαι? εκχεον την καρδιαν σου ως υδωρ εμπροσθεν του προσωπου του Κυριου? υψωσον προς αυτον τας χειρας σου, δια την ζωην των νηπιων σου, τα οποια λιποθυμουσιν απο της πεινης επι των ακρων πασων των οδων.
20 RES. O Lord, see and consider those whom you have made into a such vintage. So then, shall women eat their own fruit, little ones measured by the palm of the hand? Shall priest and prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?	20 Ιδε, Κυριε, και επιβλεψον, εις τινα ποτε εκαμες ουτω; Να φαγωσιν αι γυναικες τον καρπον της κοιλιας αυτων, τα νηπια εν τοις σπαργανοις αυτων; Να φονευθωσιν εν τω αγιαστηριω του Κυριου ιερευς και προφητης;
21 SIN. The boy and the old man lie down on the ground outside. My virgins and my youths have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of your fury. You have struck down, and you have not shown pity.	21 Το παιδιον και ο γερων κοιτονται κατα γης εν ταις οδοις? αι παρθενοι μου και οι νεανισκοι μου επεσον εν μαχαιρα? εφονευσας εν τη ημερα της οργης σου, κατεσφαξας, δεν εφεισθης.
22 THAU. You have called, as if to a day of solemnity, those who would terrify me all around. And there was no one, in the day of the fury of the Lord, who escaped or was left behind. Those whom I educated and nourished, my enemy has consumed.	22 Προσεκαλεσας πανταχοθεν, ως εν ημερα πανηγυρεως, τους τρομους μου, και ουδεις εσωθη ουδε υπελειφθη εν τη ημερα της οργης του Κυριου? εκεινους, τους οποιους εσπαργανωσα και ηυξησα, ο εχθρος μου συνετελεσεν αυτους.
