Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Look and see our disgrace!
1[Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum.
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.
2Hæreditas nostra versa est ad alienos, domus nostræ ad extraneos.
3We have become fatherless orphans; our mothers are widows.
3Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostræ quasi viduæ.
4We must buy the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.
4Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus; ligna nostra pretio comparavimus.
5We are closely pursued; we are weary and find no rest.
5Cervicibus nostris minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies.
6We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
6Ægypto dedimus manum et Assyriis, ut saturaremur pane.
7Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their punishment.
7Patres nostri peccaverunt, et non sunt: et nos iniquitates eorum portavimus.
8Slaves rule over us; there is no one to deliver us from their hands.
8Servi dominati sunt nostri: non fuit qui redimeret de manu eorum.
9We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the wilderness.
9In animabus nostris afferebamus panem nobis, a facie gladii in deserto.
10Our skin is as hot as an oven with fever from our hunger.
10Pellis nostra quasi clibanus exusta est, a facie tempestatum famis.
11Women have been ravished in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah.
11Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt, et virgines in civitatibus Juda.
12Princes have been hung up by their hands; elders receive no respect.
12Principes manu suspensi sunt; facies senum non erubuerunt.
13Young men toil at millstones; boys stagger under loads of wood.
13Adolescentibus impudice abusi sunt, et pueri in ligno corruerunt.
14The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.
14Senes defecerunt de portis, juvenes de choro psallentium.
15Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.
15Defecit gaudium cordis nostri; versus est in luctum chorus noster.
16The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
16Cecidit corona capitis nostri: væ nobis, quia peccavimus !
17Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—
17Propterea mœstum factum est cor nostrum; ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri,
18because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.
18propter montem Sion quia disperiit; vulpes ambulaverunt in eo.
19You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.
19Tu autem, Domine, in æternum permanebis, solium tuum in generationem et generationem.
20Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
20Quare in perpetuum oblivisceris nostri, derelinques nos in longitudine dierum?
21Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,
21Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur; innova dies nostros, sicut a principio.
22unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
22Sed projiciens repulisti nos: iratus es contra nos vehementer.]
