锡安民祈祷自述诸苦

耶和华啊,求你记念我们所遭遇的事,观看我们所受的凌辱。 我们的产业归于外邦人,我们的房屋归于外路人。 我们是无父的孤儿,我们的母亲好像寡妇。 我们出钱才得水喝,我们的柴是人卖给我们的。 追赶我们的到了我们的颈项上,我们疲乏不得歇息。 我们投降埃及人和亚述人,为要得粮吃饱。 我们列祖犯罪,而今不在了,我们担当他们的罪孽。 奴仆辖制我们,无人救我们脱离他们的手。 因为旷野的刀剑,我们冒着险才得粮食。 10 因饥饿燥热,我们的皮肤就黑如炉。 11 敌人在锡安玷污妇人,在犹大的城邑玷污处女。 12 他们吊起首领的手,也不尊敬老人的面。 13 少年人扛磨石,孩童背木柴,都绊跌了。 14 老年人在城门口断绝,少年人不再作乐。 15 我们心中的快乐止息,跳舞变为悲哀。 16 冠冕从我们的头上落下。我们犯罪了!我们有祸了! 17 这些事我们心里发昏,我们的眼睛昏花。 18 锡安山荒凉,野狗[a]行在其上。

求主使复振兴

19 耶和华啊,你存到永远,你的宝座存到万代。 20 你为何永远忘记我们?为何许久离弃我们? 21 耶和华啊,求你使我们向你回转,我们便得回转;求你复新我们的日子,像古时一样。 22 你竟全然弃绝我们,向我们大发烈怒!

Relele de acum şi aducerile-aminte

Adu-Ţi(A) aminte, Doamne, de ce ni s-a întâmplat!
Uită-Te şi vezi-ne ocara(B)!
Moştenirea(C) noastră a trecut la nişte străini,
casele noastre, la cei din alte ţări!
Am rămas orfani, fără tată;
mamele noastre sunt ca nişte văduve.
Apa noastră o bem pe bani,
şi lemnele noastre trebuie să le plătim.
Prigonitorii ne urmăresc cu îndârjire(D)
şi, când obosim, nu ne dau odihnă.
Am întins(E) mâna spre(F) Egipt,
spre Asiria, ca să ne săturăm de pâine.
Părinţii noştri care au păcătuit(G) nu mai(H) sunt,
iar noi le purtăm păcatele.
Robii ne(I) stăpânesc,
şi nimeni nu ne izbăveşte din mâinile lor.
Ne căutăm pâinea cu primejdia vieţii noastre,
căci ne ameninţă sabia în pustie.
10 Ne arde pielea(J), ca un cuptor,
de frigurile foamei.
11 Au necinstit(K) pe femei în Sion,
pe fecioare în cetăţile lui Iuda.
12 Mai-marii noştri au fost spânzuraţi de mâinile lor.
Bătrânilor nu le-a dat nicio cinste(L).
13 Tinerii au fost puşi să râşnească(M)
şi copiii cădeau sub poverile de lemn.
14 Bătrânii nu se mai duc la poartă
şi tinerii au încetat să mai cânte.
15 S-a dus bucuria din inimile noastre
şi jalea a luat locul jocurilor noastre.
16 A căzut cununa(N) de pe capul nostru!
Vai de noi, căci am păcătuit!
17 Dacă ne doare(O) inima,
dacă ni s-au întunecat(P) ochii,
18 este din pricină că Muntele Sionului este pustiit,
din pricină că se plimbă şacalii prin el.
19 Dar Tu, Doamne, împărăţeşti(Q) pe vecie;
scaunul Tău de domnie(R) dăinuie din neam în neam!
20 Pentru ce(S) să ne uiţi pe vecie
şi să ne părăseşti pentru multă vreme?
21 Întoarce-ne(T) la Tine, Doamne, şi ne vom întoarce!
Dă-ne iarăşi zile ca cele de odinioară!
22 Să ne fi lepădat Tu de tot oare
şi să Te fi mâniat Tu pe noi peste măsură de mult?

Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.

Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.

We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.

Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.

We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.

We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.

10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.

11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.

12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.

13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.

14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.

15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

19 Thou, O Lord, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

21 Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

Remember, Lord, what has happened to us;
    look, and see our disgrace.(A)
Our inheritance(B) has been turned over to strangers,(C)
    our homes(D) to foreigners.(E)
We have become fatherless,
    our mothers are widows.(F)
We must buy the water we drink;(G)
    our wood can be had only at a price.(H)
Those who pursue us are at our heels;
    we are weary(I) and find no rest.(J)
We submitted to Egypt and Assyria(K)
    to get enough bread.
Our ancestors(L) sinned and are no more,
    and we bear their punishment.(M)
Slaves(N) rule over us,
    and there is no one to free us from their hands.(O)
We get our bread at the risk of our lives
    because of the sword in the desert.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
    feverish from hunger.(P)
11 Women have been violated(Q) in Zion,
    and virgins in the towns of Judah.
12 Princes have been hung up by their hands;
    elders(R) are shown no respect.(S)
13 Young men toil at the millstones;
    boys stagger under loads of wood.
14 The elders are gone from the city gate;
    the young men have stopped their music.(T)
15 Joy is gone from our hearts;
    our dancing has turned to mourning.(U)
16 The crown(V) has fallen from our head.(W)
    Woe to us, for we have sinned!(X)
17 Because of this our hearts(Y) are faint,(Z)
    because of these things our eyes(AA) grow dim(AB)
18 for Mount Zion,(AC) which lies desolate,(AD)
    with jackals prowling over it.

19 You, Lord, reign forever;(AE)
    your throne endures(AF) from generation to generation.
20 Why do you always forget us?(AG)
    Why do you forsake(AH) us so long?
21 Restore(AI) us to yourself, Lord, that we may return;
    renew our days as of old
22 unless you have utterly rejected us(AJ)
    and are angry with us beyond measure.(AK)
