1 μνήσθητι κύριε ὅ τι ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν ἐπίβλεψον καὶ ἰδὲ τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν ἡμῶν 2 κληρονομία ἡμῶν μετεστράφη ἀλλοτρίοις οἱ οἶκοι ἡμῶν ξένοις 3 ὀρφανοὶ ἐγενήθημεν οὐχ ὑπάρχει πατήρ μητέρες ἡμῶν ὡς αἱ χῆραι 4 ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἡμῶν ξύλα ἡμῶν ἐν ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν 5 ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον ἡμῶν ἐδιώχθημεν ἐκοπιάσαμεν οὐκ ἀνεπαύθημεν 6 Αἴγυπτος ἔδωκεν χεῖρα Ασσουρ εἰς πλησμονὴν αὐτῶν 7 οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἥμαρτον οὐχ ὑπάρχουσιν ἡμεῖς τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν ὑπέσχομεν 8 δοῦλοι ἐκυρίευσαν ἡμῶν λυτρούμενος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν 9 ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν εἰσοίσομεν ἄρτον ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ῥομφαίας τῆς ἐρήμου 10 τὸ δέρμα ἡμῶν ὡς κλίβανος ἐπελειώθη συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου καταιγίδων λιμοῦ 11 γυναῖκας ἐν Σιων ἐταπείνωσαν παρθένους ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα 12 ἄρχοντες ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἐκρεμάσθησαν πρεσβύτεροι οὐκ ἐδοξάσθησαν 13 ἐκλεκτοὶ κλαυθμὸν ἀνέλαβον καὶ νεανίσκοι ἐν ξύλῳ ἠσθένησαν 14 καὶ πρεσβῦται ἀπὸ πύλης κατέπαυσαν ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ ψαλμῶν αὐτῶν κατέπαυσαν 15 κατέλυσεν χαρὰ καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος ὁ χορὸς ἡμῶν 16 ἔπεσεν ὁ στέφανος τῆς κεφαλῆς ἡμῶν οὐαὶ δὴ ἡμῖν ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν 17 περὶ τούτου ἐγενήθη ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου ἐσκότασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν 18 ἐπ' ὄρος Σιων ὅτι ἠφανίσθη ἀλώπεκες διῆλθον ἐν αὐτῇ 19 σὺ δέ κύριε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικήσεις ὁ θρόνος σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν 20 ἵνα τί εἰς νεῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ ἡμῶν καταλείψεις ἡμᾶς εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν 21 ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς κύριε πρὸς σέ καὶ ἐπιστραφησόμεθα καὶ ἀνακαίνισον ἡμέρας ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν 22 ὅτι ἀπωθούμενος ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς ὠργίσθης ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἕως σφόδρα

emember, O Lord, what has come upon us: consider and behold our reproach. 2 Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers. 3 We have become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows. 4 We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood. 5 We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us. 6 We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread. 7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities. 8 Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand. 9 We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert. 10 Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine. 11 They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda. 12 The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the persons of the ancients. 13 They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood. 14 The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the choir of the singers. 15 The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning. 16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe to us, because we have sinned. 17 Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim. 18 For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it. 19 But you, O Lord, shall remain for ever, your throne from generation to generation. 20 Why will you forget us for ever? Why will you forsake us for a long time? 21 Convert us, O Lord, to you, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning. 22 But you have utterly rejected us, you are exceedingly angry against us.

1 Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum. 2 Hæreditas nostra versa est ad alienos, domus nostræ ad extraneos. 3 Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostræ quasi viduæ. 4 Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus; ligna nostra pretio comparavimus. 5 Cervicibus nostris minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies. 6 Ægypto dedimus manum et Assyriis, ut saturaremur pane. 7 Patres nostri peccaverunt, et non sunt : et nos iniquitates eorum portavimus. 8 Servi dominati sunt nostri : non fuit qui redimeret de manu eorum. 9 In animabus nostris afferebamus panem nobis, a facie gladii in deserto. 10 Pellis nostra quasi clibanus exusta est, a facie tempestatum famis. 11 Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt, et virgines in civitatibus Juda. 12 Principes manu suspensi sunt; facies senum non erubuerunt. 13 Adolescentibus impudice abusi sunt, et pueri in ligno corruerunt. 14 Senes defecerunt de portis, juvenes de choro psallentium. 15 Defecit gaudium cordis nostri; versus est in luctum chorus noster. 16 Cecidit corona capitis nostri : væ nobis, quia peccavimus! 17 Propterea mœstum factum est cor nostrum; ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri, 18 propter montem Sion quia disperiit; vulpes ambulaverunt in eo. 19 Tu autem, Domine, in æternum permanebis, solium tuum in generationem et generationem. 20 Quare in perpetuum oblivisceris nostri, derelinques nos in longitudine dierum? 21 Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur; innova dies nostros, sicut a principio. 22 Sed projiciens repulisti nos : iratus es contra nos vehementer.
