1Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach.
1ACUÉRDATE, oh Jehová, de lo que nos ha sucedido: ve y mira nuestro oprobio.
2Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.
2Nuestra heredad se ha vuelto á extraños, nuestras casas á forasteros.
3We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.
3Huérfanos somos sin padre, nuestras madres como viudas.
4We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.
4Nuestra agua bebemos por dinero; nuestra leña por precio compramos.
5We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.
5Persecución padecemos sobre nuestra cerviz: nos cansamos, y no hay para nosotros reposo.
6We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread.
6Al Egipcio y al Asirio dimos la mano, para saciarnos de pan.
7Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities.
7Nuestros padres pecaron, y son muertos; y nosotros llevamos sus castigos.
8Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand.
8Siervos se enseñorearon de nosotros; no hubo quien de su mano nos librase.
9We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert.
9Con peligro de nuestras vidas traíamos nuestro pan delante del cuchillo del desierto.
10Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine.
10Nuestra piel se ennegreció como un horno á causa del ardor del hambre.
11They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda.
11Violaron á las mujeres en Sión, á las vírgenes en las ciudades de Judá.
12The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the persons of the ancient.
12A los príncipes colgaron por su mano; no respetaron el rostro de los viejos.
13They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood.
13Llevaron los mozos á moler, y los muchachos desfallecieron en la leña.
14The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the choir of the singers.
14Los ancianos cesaron de la puerta, los mancebos de sus canciones.
15The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning.
15Cesó el gozo de nuestro corazón; nuestro corro se tornó en luto.
16The crown is fallen from our head woe to us, because we have sinned.
16Cayó la corona de nuestra cabeza: ¡ay ahora de nosotros! porque pecamos.
17Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim,
17Por esto fué entristecido nuestro corazón, por esto se entenebrecieron nuestros ojos:
18For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it.
18Por el monte de Sión que está asolado; zorras andan en él.
19But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from generation to generation.
19Mas tú, Jehová, permanecerás para siempre: tu trono de generación en generación.
20Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a long time?
20¿Por qué te olvidarás para siempre de nosotros, y nos dejarás por largos días?
21Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning.
21Vuélvenos, oh Jehová, á ti, y nos volveremos: renueva nuestros días como al principio.
22But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us.
22Porque repeliendo nos has desechado; te has airado contra nosotros en gran manera.
