Lamentazioni (ارميا) 2

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 كيف غطى السيد بغضبه ابنة صهيون بالظلام. ألقى من السماء الى الارض فخر اسرائيل ولم يذكر موطئ قدميه في يوم غضبه.	1 Aleph. How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 ابتلع السيد ولم يشفق كل مساكن يعقوب. نقض بسخطه حصون بنت يهوذا. اوصلها الى الارض نجس المملكة ورؤساءها.	2 Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof.
3 عضب بحمو غضبه كل قرن لاسرائيل. رد الى الوراء يمينه امام العدو واشتعل في يعقوب مثل نار ملتهبة تأكل ما حواليها.	3 Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about.
4 مدّ قوسه كعدو. نصب يمينه كمبغض وقتل كل مشتهيات العين في خباء بنت صهيون. سكب كنار غيظه.	4 Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his indignation like fire.
5 صار السيد كعدو. ابتلع اسرائيل. ابتلع كل قصوره اهلك حصونه واكثر في بنت يهوذا النوح والحزن.	5 He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women.
6 ونزع كما من جنة مظلته. اهلك مجتمعه. أنسى الرب في صهيون الموسم والسبت ورذل بسخط غضبه الملك والكاهن.	6 Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath.
7 كره السيد مذبحه. رذل مقدسه. حصر في يد العدو اسوار قصورها. اطلقوا الصوت في بيت الرب كما في يوم الموسم.	7 Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 قصد الرب ان يهلك سور بنت صهيون. مدّ المطمار. لم يردد يده عن الاهلاك وجعل المترسة والسور ينوحان. قد حزنا معا.	8 Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together.
9 تاخت في الارض ابوابها. اهلك وحطم عوارضها. ملكها ورؤساؤها بين الامم. لا شريعة. انبياؤها ايضا لا يجدون رؤيا من قبل الرب.	9 Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
10 شيوخ بنت صهيون يجلسون على الارض ساكتين. يرفعون التراب على رؤوسهم يتنطقون بالمسوح. تحني عذارى اورشليم رؤوسهنّ الى الارض.	10 Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 كلّت من الدموع عيناي. غلت احشائي. انسكبت على الارض كبدي على سحق بنت شعبي لاجل غشيان الاطفال والرضّع في ساحات القرية.	11 Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city.
12 يقولون لامهاتهم اين الحنطة والخمر اذ يغشى عليهم كجريح في ساحات المدينة اذ تسكب نفسهم في احضان امهاتهم.	12 Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers.
13 بماذا انذرك بماذا احذرك. بماذا اشبهك يا ابنة اورشليم. بماذا اقايسك فاعزيك ايتها العذراء بنت صهيون. لان سحقك عظيم كالبحر. من يشفيك.	13 Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee?
14 انبياؤك رأوا لك كذبا وباطلا ولم يعلنوا اثمك ليردوا سبيك بل رأوا لك وحيا كاذبا وطوائح.	14 Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.
15 يصفق عليك بالايادي كل عابري الطريق. يصفرون وينغضون رؤوسهم على بنت اورشليم قائلين أهذه هي المدينة التي يقولون انها كمال الجمال بهجة كل الارض.	15 Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth?
16 يفتح عليك افواههم كل اعدائك. يصفرون ويحرقون الاسنان. يقولون قد اهلكناها. حقا ان هذا اليوم الذي رجوناه. قد وجدناه قد رايناه.	16 Phe. All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we have seen it.
17 فعل الرب ما قصد. تمم قوله الذي اوعد به منذ ايام القدم. قد هدم ولم يشفق واشمت بك العدو. نصب قرن اعدائك.	17 Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries.
18 صرخ قلبهم الى السيد. يا سور بنت صهيون اسكبي الدمع كنهر نهارا وليلا. لا تعطي ذاتك راحة. لا تكف حدقة عينك.	18 Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease.
19 قومي اهتفي في الليل في اول الهزع. اسكبي كمياه قلبك قبالة وجه السيد. ارفعي اليه يديك لاجل نفس اطفالك المغشي عليهم من الجوع في راس كل شارع	19 Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets.
20 انظر يا رب وتطلع بمن فعلت هكذا. أتأكل النساء ثمرهنّ اطفال الحضانة. أيقتل في مقدس السيد الكاهن والنبي.	20 Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord ?
21 اضطجعت على الارض في الشوارع الصبيان والشيوخ. عذاراي وشباني سقطوا بالسيف قد قتلت في يوم غضبك ذبحت ولم تشفق.	21 Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity.
22 قد دعوت كما في يوم موسم مخاوفي حوالي فلم يكن في يوم غضب الرب ناج ولا باق. الذين حضنتهم وربيتهم افناهم عدوي	22 Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them.
