Плач Иеремиев 1

Библия, синодално издание

1 ^(A)Как самотно седи градът, някога си многолюден! Той стана като вдовица; великият между народите, князът над областите стана данник.

²^(B)Горко плаче той нощем, и сълзите му са по страните му. Измежду всички ония, които са го обичали, той няма утешител; всички негови приятели му изневериха, станаха му врагове.

³^(C)Иуда се пресели поради бедствие и тежко робство, посели се между езичници, и не намери покой; всички, които го преследваха, настигнаха го в тесни места.

⁴^(D)Пътищата на Сион тъгуват, защото няма кой да отива на празник; всичките му порти запустяха; свещениците му въздишат, девиците му са печални, горко и на самия него!

⁵^(E)Враговете му застанаха начело, неприятелите му добруват, защото Господ напрати върху му тъга заради многото му беззакония; децата му отидоха в плен пред врага.

⁶^(F)И отлетя от дъщерята Сионова всичкото ѝ великолепие; князете ѝ са като елени, които не намират паша; обезсилени, те тръгнаха пред карача.

⁷Спомни си Иерусалим през дните на своето бедствие и на своите страдания за всички свои драгоценности, каквито имаше в предишни дни, а пък народът му падна от вража ръка, и никой му не помага; неприятелите гледат на него и се смеят над неговите съботи.

⁸^(G)Тежко съгреши Иерусалим, затова и стана отвратителен; всички, които го прославяха, го гледат с презрение, защото видяха голотата му; и сам той въздиша и се обръща назад.

⁹^(H)По полата му имаше нечистота, но той не помисляше за своята бъднина, и поради това извънредно се унизи и няма за него утешител. „Погледни, Господи, моята неволя, понеже врагът се е възгордял!“

¹⁰^(I)Врагът простря ръка върху всичко нему най-драгоценно; той вижда, как езичници влизат в неговото светилище, за което си заповядал, да не влизат те в Твоето събрание.

¹¹^(J)Цял негов народ въздиша, търсейки хляб, дава своите драгоценности за храна – душа да подкрепи. „Погледни, Господи, и виж, колко съм унизен!“

¹²^(K)Дано не ви сполети това всички вас, минаващи по пътя! погледнете и вижте, има ли болка като моята болка, каквато мене е постигнала, каквато Господ напрати върху мене в деня на пламенния Си гняв?

¹³^(L)Той прати отгоре огън в костите ми, и тоя ги обхвана; разстла мрежа за нозете ми, повали ме, направи ме да бедствувам и да чезна всеки ден.

¹⁴^(M)Ярема на беззаконията ми стегна с ръката Си; те са сплетени и се качиха на врата ми; Той отслаби силите ми. Господ ме предаде в ръце, от които не мога да се изправя.

¹⁵^(N)Всички мои силни Господ повали сред мене, свика против мене събрание, за да изтреби момците ми, като в лин Господ стъпка девицата, дъщерята на Иуда.

¹⁶^(O)Затова аз плача; окото ми, окото ми вода пролива, понеже далеч е от мене утешител, който би оживил душата ми; децата ми са съсипани, защото врагът надделя.

¹⁷^(P)Сион простира ръце, но за него няма утешител. Господ даде заповед за Иакова на враговете му да го обкръжат; Иерусалим стана гнусота между тях.

¹⁸^(Q)Праведен е Господ, защото аз не бях покорен на словото Му. Чуйте, всички народи, и погледнете моята болка; момите ми и момците ми отидоха в плен.

¹⁹^(R)Викам приятелите си, но те ме излъгаха; свещениците ми и старците ми издъхват в града, търсейки си храна – душа да подкрепят.

²⁰^(S)Погледни, Господи, защото съм утеснен, утробата ми се вълнува, сърцето ми се превърна в мене, задето упорито Ти се противих; отвън ме меч обезчеди, а в къщи – смърт.

²¹^(T)Чуха, че стена, а утешител нямам; чуха всичките ми врагове за моята неволя, и се зарадваха, че Ти си извършил това: о, да бе заповядал на предречения от Тебе ден да дойде, и те да станеха като мене!

²²Нека да предстане пред лицето Ти цялата им злоба; и постъпи с тях, както постъпи с мене за всичките ми грехове, защото тежки са моите стенания, и сърцето ми изнемогва.

Lamentations 1

English Standard Version

How Lonely Sits the City

1 ^(A)How lonely sits the city
    that was full of people!
How like ^(B)a widow has she become,
    she who was great among the nations!
She who was ^(C)a princess among the provinces
    has become ^(D)a slave.

²^(E)She weeps bitterly in the night,
    with tears on her cheeks;
^(F)among all her lovers
    she has ^(G)none to comfort her;
^(H)all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
    they have become her enemies.

³^(I)Judah has gone into exile because of affliction^[a]
    and hard servitude;
^(J)she dwells now among the nations,
    ^(K)but finds no resting place;
her pursuers have all overtaken her
    in the midst of her distress.^[b]

⁴The roads to Zion mourn,
    for none come to ^(L)the festival;
^(M)all her gates are desolate;
    her priests ^(N)groan;
her virgins have been afflicted,^[c]
    and she herself suffers bitterly.

⁵^(O)Her foes have become the head;
    her ^(P)enemies prosper,
because ^(Q)the Lord has afflicted her
    ^(R)for the multitude of her transgressions;
^(S)her children have gone away,
    captives before the foe.

⁶From the daughter of Zion
    all her majesty has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
    ^(T)that find no pasture;
they fled without strength
    before the pursuer.

⁷Jerusalem remembers
    in the days of her affliction and wandering
^(U)all the precious things
    that were hers from ^(V)days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the foe,
    and there was none to help her,
her foes gloated over her;
    they ^(W)mocked at her downfall.

⁸^(X)Jerusalem sinned grievously;
    therefore she became filthy;
all who honored her despise her,
    ^(Y)for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself ^(Z)groans
    and turns her face away.

⁹Her uncleanness was ^(AA)in her skirts;
    ^(AB)she took no thought of her future;^[d]
therefore her fall is terrible;
    ^(AC)she has no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
    for the enemy has ^(AD)triumphed!”

¹⁰The enemy has stretched out his hands
    over all her ^(AE)precious things;
for she has seen ^(AF)the nations
    enter her sanctuary,
those whom you ^(AG)forbade
    to enter your congregation.

¹¹All her people ^(AH)groan
    as ^(AI)they search for bread;
they trade their ^(AJ)treasures for ^(AK)food
    to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and see,
    for I am despised.”

¹²“Is it nothing to you, all ^(AL)you who pass by?
    ^(AM)Look and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
    which was brought upon me,
which ^(AN)the Lord inflicted
    on ^(AO)the day of his fierce anger.

¹³“From on high he ^(AP)sent fire;
    into my bones^[e] he made it descend;
^(AQ)he spread a net for my feet;
    he turned me back;
^(AR)he has left me stunned,
    faint all the day long.

¹⁴“My transgressions were bound^[f] into ^(AS)a yoke;
    by his hand they were fastened together;
they were set upon my neck;
    he caused my strength to fail;
the Lord gave me into the hands
    of those whom I cannot withstand.

¹⁵“The Lord rejected
    all my mighty men in my midst;
he summoned an assembly against me
    to crush my young men;
^(AT)the Lord has trodden as in a winepress
    the virgin daughter of Judah.

¹⁶“For these things ^(AU)I weep;
    my eyes flow with tears;
for ^(AV)a comforter is far from me,
    one to ^(AW)revive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
    for the enemy has prevailed.”

¹⁷^(AX)Zion stretches out her hands,
    but ^(AY)there is none to comfort her;
the Lord has commanded against Jacob
    that his neighbors should be his foes;
Jerusalem has become
    a filthy thing among them.

¹⁸^(AZ)“The Lord is in the right,
    ^(BA)for I have rebelled against his word;
but hear, all you peoples,
    and see my suffering;
^(BB)my young women and my young men
    have gone into captivity.

¹⁹“I called to ^(BC)my lovers,
    but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
    perished in the city,
while ^(BD)they sought food
    to revive their strength.

²⁰“Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    ^(BE)my stomach churns;
my heart is wrung within me,
    because I have been very rebellious.
^(BF)In the street the sword bereaves;
    in the house it is like death.

²¹“They heard^[g] ^(BG)my groaning,
    yet ^(BH)there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
    ^(BI)they are glad that you have done it.
You have brought^[h] the day you announced;
    ^(BJ)now let them be as I am.

²²^(BK)“Let all their evildoing come before you,
    and deal with them
as ^(BL)you have dealt with me
    because of all my transgressions;
for ^(BM)my groans are many,
    and ^(BN)my heart is faint.”

    enter her sanctuary^(AG)—

The Sorrows of Jerusalem

1 How lonely sits the city
    that was full of people!
How she has become like a widow,
    who was once great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces
    has become a slave!

²She weeps sorely in the night,
    her tears are on her cheeks;
among all her lovers
    she has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
    they have become her enemies.

³Judah has gone into captivity,
    under affliction and great servitude;
she dwells among the nations,
    she finds no rest;
all her persecutors overtook her
    in the midst of distress.

⁴The roads to Zion mourn
    because no one comes to the solemn feasts.
All her gates are desolate;
    her priests sigh,
her virgins are afflicted,
    and she herself suffers bitterly.

⁵Her adversaries have become her masters,
    her enemies prosper;
for the Lord has afflicted her
    because of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her children have gone into captivity
    before the enemy.

⁶From the daughter of Zion
    all her beauty has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
    that find no pasture;
they fled without strength
    before the pursuer.

⁷In the days of her affliction and misery
    Jerusalem remembers all her pleasant things
    that she had in the days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
    there was no one to help her.
The adversaries saw her
    and mocked at her desolation.

⁸Jerusalem has sinned grievously;
    therefore she has become vile.
All who honored her despise her,
    for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself sighs
    and turns away.

⁹Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
    she took no thought of her future;
therefore her fall is astounding;
    she has no comforter.
“O Lord, look upon my affliction,
    for the enemy has triumphed!”

¹⁰The adversary has spread his hand
    over all her precious things;
for she has seen the nations
    enter her sanctuary,
those whom You commanded
    not to enter Your congregation.

¹¹All her people groan,
    as they search for bread;
they trade their treasures for food
    to restore their strength.
Look, O Lord, and consider,
    for I am despised.

¹²Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
    Look and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
    which was brought upon me,
which the Lord has inflicted
    on the day of His fierce anger.

¹³From on high He has sent fire into my bones,
    and it prevailed against them;
He has spread a net for my feet;
    He turned me back;
He has made me desolate
    and faint all the day long.

¹⁴The yoke of my transgressions
    was bound; by His hand
they were fastened together; they were set upon my neck.
    He made my strength fail;
the Lord delivered me into the hands
    of those whom I am not able to withstand.

¹⁵The Lord has trampled underfoot
    all my mighty men in my midst;
He has called an assembly against me
    to crush my young men;
The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah
    as in a winepress.

¹⁶For these things I weep;
    my eyes flow with tears;
for the comforter, who should relieve my soul,
    is far from me.
My children are desolate
    for the enemy has prevailed.

¹⁷Zion spreads out her hands,
    but there is no one to comfort her;
the Lord has commanded against Jacob
    that his neighbors should be his adversaries;
    Jerusalem has become a filthy thing among them.

¹⁸The Lord is in the right,
    for I have rebelled against His commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
    and see my sorrow;
my virgins and my young men
    have gone into captivity.

¹⁹I called for my lovers,
    but they deceived me;
my priests and my elders
    perished in the city,
while they sought food
    to restore their strength.

²⁰Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    my soul is greatly troubled;
my heart is overturned within me,
    for I have grievously rebelled.
In the street the sword bereaves,
    at home it is like death.

²¹They have heard my groaning,
    yet there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
    they are glad that You have done it.
Bring the day that You have announced,
    that they become like me.

²²Let all their wickedness come before You,
    and do to them
as You have done to me
    for all my transgressions;
for my groans are many,
    and my heart is faint.
