Lamentazioni (ارميا) 1

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 كيف جلست وحدها المدينة الكثيرة الشعب. كيف صارت كارملة العظيمة في الامم. السيدة في البلدان صارت تحت الجزية.	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.
2 تبكي في الليل بكاء ودموعها على خديها. ليس لها معزّ من كل محبيها. كل اصحابها غدروا بها. صاروا لها اعداء.	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.
3 قد سبيت يهوذا من المذلة ومن كثرة العبودية. هي تسكن بين الامم. لا تجد راحة. قد ادركها كل طارديها بين الضيقات.	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.
4 طرق صهيون نائحة لعدم الآتين الى العيد. كل ابوابها خربة كهنتها يتنهدون. عذاراها مذللة وهي في مرارة.	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.
5 صار مضايقوها راسا. نجح اعداؤها لان الرب قد اذلّها لاجل كثرة ذنوبها ذهب اولادها الى السبي قدام العدو.	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.
6 وقد خرج من بنت صهيون كل بهائها. صارت رؤساؤها كأيائل لا تجد مرعى فيسيرون بلا قوة امام الطارد.	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.
7 قد ذكرت اورشليم في ايام مذلتها وتطوّحها كل مشتهياتها التي كانت في ايام القدم. عند سقوط شعبها بيد العدو وليس من يساعدها. رأتها الاعداء ضحكوا على هلاكها.	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.
8 قد اخطأت اورشليم خطية من اجل ذلك صارت رجسة. كل مكرميها يحتقرونها لانهم رأوا عورتها وهي ايضا تتنهد وترجع الى الوراء.	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.
9 نجاستها في اذيالها. لم تذكر آخرتها وقد انحطت انحطاطا عجيبا. ليس لها معزّ. انظر يا رب الى مذلتي لان العدو قد تعظم.	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.
10 بسط العدو يده على كل مشتهياتها فانها رأت الامم دخلوا مقدسها الذين امرت ان لا يدخلوا في جماعتك.	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.
11 كل شعبها يتنهدون يطلبون خبزا. دفعوا مشتهياتهم للأكل لاجل رد النفس. انظر يا رب وتطلع لاني قد صرت محتقرة	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.
12 أما اليكم يا جميع عابري الطريق. تطلعوا وانظروا ان كان حزن مثل حزني الذي صنع بي الذي اذلني به الرب يوم حمو غضبه.	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.
13 من العلاء ارسل نارا الى عظامي فسرت فيها. بسط شبكة لرجليّ. ردني الى الوراء. جعلني خربة اليوم كله مغمومة.	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.
14 شدّ نير ذنوبي بيده. ضفرت صعدت على عنقي. نزع قوتي دفعني السيد الى ايد لا استطيع القيام منها.	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.
15 رذل السيد كل مقتدري في وسطي. دعا عليّ جماعة لحطم شباني. داس السيد العذراء بنت يهوذا معصرة.	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.
16 على هذه انا باكية. عيني عيني تسكب مياها لانه قد ابتعد عني المعزي رادّ نفسي. صار بنيّ هالكين لانه قد تجبر العدو	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.
17 بسطت صهيون يديها. لا معزي لها. أمر الرب على يعقوب ان يكون مضايقوه حواليه. صارت اورشليم نجسة بينهم.	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.
18 بار هو الرب لاني قد عصيت امره. اسمعوا يا جميع الشعوب وانظروا الى حزني. عذاراي وشباني ذهبوا الى السبي.	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.
19 ناديت محبيّ. هم خدعوني. كهنتي وشيوخي في المدينة ماتوا اذ طلبوا لذواتهم طعاما ليردوا انفسهم.	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.
20 انظر يا رب فاني في ضيق. احشائي غلت. ارتد قلبي في باطني لاني قد عصيت متمردة. في الخارج يثكل السيف وفي البيت مثل الموت.	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.
21 سمعوا اني تنهدت. لا معزي لي. كل اعدائي سمعوا ببليتي. فرحوا لانك فعلت. تأتي باليوم الذي ناديت به فيصيرون مثلي.	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.
22 ليات كل شرهم امامك. وافعل بهم كما فعلت بي من اجل كل ذنوبي لان تنهداتي كثيرة وقلبي مغشيّ عليه	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.
