| 1 | How the gold has become dim! How changed the fine gold! The stones of the sanctuary are scattered At the head of every street. |
|
Πῶςαμαυρωθήσεταιχρυσίον,αλλοιωθήσεταιτὸαργύριοντὸαγαθόν;εξεχύθησανλίθοιάγιοιεπ᾿αρχῆςπασῶνεξόδων.
|
|
| 2 | The precious sons of Zion, Valuable as fine gold, How they are regarded as clay pots, The work of the hands of the potter! |
|
ΥιοὶΣιωνοιτίμιοιοιεπηρμένοιενχρυσίωπῶςελογίσθησανειςαγγεῖαοστράκιναέργαχειρῶνκεραμέως;
|
|
| 3 | Even the jackals present their breasts To nurse their young; But the daughter of my people is cruel, Like ostriches in the wilderness. |
|
Καίγεδράκοντεςεξέδυσανμαστούς,εθήλασανσκύμνοιαυτῶν·θυγατέρεςλαοῦμουειςανίατονωςστρουθίονενερήμω.
|
|
| 4 | The tongue of the infant clings To the roof of its mouth for thirst; The young children ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them. |
|
Εκολλήθηηγλῶσσαθηλάζοντοςπρὸςτὸνφάρυγγααυτοῦενδίψει·νήπιαήτησανάρτον,οδιακλῶνουκέστιναυτοῖς.
|
|
| 5 | Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those who were brought up in scarlet Embrace ash heaps. |
|
Οιέσθοντεςτὰςτρυφὰςηφανίσθησανενταῖςεξόδοις,οιτιθηνούμενοιεπὶκόκκωνπεριεβάλοντοκοπρίας.
|
|
| 6 | The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown in a moment, With no hand to help her! |
|
ΚαὶεμεγαλύνθηανομίαθυγατρὸςλαοῦμουυπὲρανομίαςΣοδομωντῆςκατεστραμμένηςώσπερσπουδῆ,καὶουκεπόνεσανεναυτῆχεῖρας.
|
|
| 7 | Her Nazirites were brighter than snow And whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, Like sapphire in their appearance. |
|
Εκαθαριώθησανναζιραῖοιαυτῆςυπὲρχιόνα,έλαμψανυπὲργάλα,επυρρώθησανυπὲρλίθουςσαπφείρουτὸαπόσπασμααυτῶν.
|
|
| 8 | Now their appearance is blacker than soot; They go unrecognized in the streets; Their skin clings to their bones, It has become as dry as wood. |
|
Εσκότασενυπὲρασβόληντὸεῖδοςαυτῶν,ουκεπεγνώσθησανενταῖςεξόδοις·επάγηδέρμααυτῶνεπὶτὰοστέααυτῶν,εξηράνθησαν,εγενήθησανώσπερξύλον.
|
|
| 9 | Those slain by the sword are better off Than those who die of hunger; For these pine away, Stricken for lack of the fruits of the field. |
|
Καλοὶῆσανοιτραυματίαιρομφαίαςὴοιτραυματίαιλιμοῦ·επορεύθησανεκκεκεντημένοιαπὸγενημάτωναγρῶν.
|
|
| 10 | The hands of the compassionate women Have cooked their own children; They became food for them In the destruction of the daughter of my people. |
|
Χεῖρεςγυναικῶνοικτιρμόνωνήψησαντὰπαιδίααυτῶν,εγενήθησανειςβρῶσιναυταῖςεντῶσυντρίμματιτῆςθυγατρὸςλαοῦμου.
|
|
| 11 | The LORD has fulfilled His fury, He has poured out His fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion, And it has devoured its foundations. |
|
Συνετέλεσενκύριοςθυμὸναυτοῦ,εξέχεενθυμὸνοργῆςαυτοῦκαὶανῆψενπῦρενΣιων,καὶκατέφαγεντὰθεμέλιααυτῆς.
|
|
| 12 | The kings of the earth, And all inhabitants of the world, Would not have believed That the adversary and the enemy Could enter the gates of Jerusalem— |
|
Ουκεπίστευσανβασιλεῖςγῆς,πάντεςοικατοικοῦντεςτὴνοικουμένην,ότιεισελεύσεταιεχθρὸςκαὶεκθλίβωνδιὰτῶνπυλῶνΙερουσαλημ.
|
|
| 13 | Because of the sins of her prophets And the iniquities of her priests, Who shed in her midst The blood of the just. |
|
Εξαμαρτιῶνπροφητῶναυτῆς,αδικιῶνιερέωναυτῆςτῶνεκχεόντωναῖμαδίκαιονενμέσωαυτῆς.
|
|
| 14 | They wandered blind in the streets; They have defiled themselves with blood, So that no one would touch their garments. |
|
Εσαλεύθησανεγρήγοροιαυτῆςενταῖςεξόδοις,εμολύνθησανεναίματι·εντῶμὴδύνασθαιαυτοὺςήψαντοενδυμάτωναυτῶν.
|
|
| 15 | They cried out to them, “Go away, unclean! Go away, go away, Do not touch us!” When they fled and wandered, Those among the nations said, “They shall no longer dwell here.” |
|
Απόστητεακαθάρτων—καλέσατεαυτούς—απόστητεαπόστητε,μὴάπτεσθε,ότιανήφθησανκαίγεεσαλεύθησαν·είπατεεντοῖςέθνεσινΟυμὴπροσθῶσιντοῦπαροικεῖν.
|
|
| 16 | The face of the LORD scattered them; He no longer regards them. The people do not respect the priests Nor show favor to the elders. |
|
Πρόσωπονκυρίουμερὶςαυτῶν,ουπροσθήσειεπιβλέψαιαυτοῖς·πρόσωπονιερέωνουκέλαβον,πρεσβύταςουκηλέησαν.
|
|
| 17 | Still our eyes failed us, Watching vainly for our help; In our watching we watched For a nation that could not save us. |
|
Έτιόντωνημῶνεξέλιπονοιοφθαλμοὶημῶνειςτὴνβοήθειανημῶνμάταια·αποσκοπευόντωνημῶναπεσκοπεύσαμενειςέθνοςουσῶζον.
|
|
| 18 | They tracked our steps So that we could not walk in our streets. Our end was near; Our days were over, For our end had come. |
|
Εθηρεύσαμενμικροὺςημῶντοῦμὴπορεύεσθαιενταῖςπλατείαιςημῶν·ήγγικενοκαιρὸςημῶν,επληρώθησαναιημέραιημῶν,πάρεστινοκαιρὸςημῶν.
|
|
| 19 | Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the heavens. They pursued us on the mountains And lay in wait for us in the wilderness. |
|
Κοῦφοιεγένοντοοιδιώκοντεςημᾶςυπὲραετοὺςουρανοῦ,επὶτῶνορέωνεξήφθησαν,ενερήμωενήδρευσανημᾶς.
|
|
| 20 | The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, Was caught in their pits, Of whom we said, “Under his shadow We shall live among the nations.” |
|
Πνεῦμαπροσώπουημῶνχριστὸςκυρίουσυνελήμφθηενταῖςδιαφθοραῖςαυτῶν,οῦείπαμενΕντῆσκιᾶαυτοῦζησόμεθαεντοῖςέθνεσιν.
|
|
| 21 | Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, You who dwell in the land of Uz! The cup shall also pass over to you And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked. |
|
Χαῖρεκαὶευφραίνου,θύγατερΙδουμαίαςηκατοικοῦσαεπὶγῆς·καίγεεπὶσὲδιελεύσεταιτὸποτήριονκυρίου,καὶμεθυσθήσηκαὶαποχεεῖς.
|
|
| 22 | The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; He will no longer send you into captivity. He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will uncover your sins! |
|
Εξέλιπενηανομίασου,θύγατερΣιων·ουπροσθήσειέτιαποικίσαισε.επεσκέψατοανομίαςσου,θύγατερΕδωμ·απεκάλυψενεπὶτὰασεβήματάσου.
