Lamentations 1

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Aleph. How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary!	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 hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are 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. Juda hath removed her dwelling place because of her affliction, and the greatness of her bondage: she hath dwelt among the nations, and she hath found no rest: all her persecutors have taken her in the midst of straits.	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 ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down: her priests sigh: her virgins are in affliction, and she is oppressed 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 adversaries are become her lords, her enemies are enriched: because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities: her children are led into captivity: before the face of the oppressor.	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 from the daughter of Sion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like rams that find no pastures: and they are 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 hath remembered the days of her affliction, and prevarication of all her desirable things which she had from the days of old, when her people fell in the enemy's hand, and there was no helper: the enemies have seen her, and have mocked at 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 hath grievously sinned, therefore is she become unstable: all that honoured her have despised her, because they have seen her shame: but she sighed and turned backward.	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 filthiness is on her feet, and she hath not remembered her end: she is wonderfully cast down, not having a comforter: behold, O Lord, my affliction, because the enemy is 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 hath put out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy 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 sigh, they seek bread: they have given all their precious things for food to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider, for I am 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 ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce 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 above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the 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. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened: the Lord hath delivered 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 hath taken away all my mighty men out of the midst of me: he hath called against me the time, to destroy my chosen men: the Lord hath trodden the winepress for the virgin daughter of Juda.	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. Therefore do I weep, and my eyes run down with water: because the comforter, the relief of my soul, is far from me: my children are desolate because the enemy hath 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. Sion hath spread forth her hands, there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded against Jacob, his enemies are round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.	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 I have provoked his mouth to wrath: hear, I pray you, all ye people, and see my sorrow: my virgins, and my young men are 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 ancients pined away in the city: while they sought their food, to relieve their souls.	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. Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled: my heart is turned within me, for I am full of bitterness: abroad the sword destroyeth, and at home there is death alike.	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 sigh, and there is none to comfort me: all my enemies have heard of my evil, they have rejoiced that thou hast done it: thou hast brought a day of consolation, and they shall be like unto 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 be present before thee: and make vintage of them, as thou hast made vintage of me for all my iniquities: for my sighs are many, and my heart is sorrowful.	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.
