Berean Standard Bible
1ΜΝΗΣΘΗΤΙ, Κύριε, ὅ,τι ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν· ἐπίβλεψον καὶ ἰδὲ τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν ἡμῶν.
1Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Look and see our disgrace!
2κληρονομία ἡμῶν μετεστράφη ἀλλοτρίοις, οἱ οἶκοι ἡμῶν ξένοις.
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.
3ὀρφανοὶ ἐγενήθημεν, οὐχ ὑπάρχει πατήρ· μητέρες ἡμῶν ὡς αἱ χῆραι.
3We have become fatherless orphans; our mothers are widows.
4ὕδωρ ἡμῶν ἐν ἀργυρίῳ ἐπίομεν, ξύλα ἡμῶν ἐν ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον ἡμῶν.
4We must buy the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.
5ἐδιώχθημεν, ἐκοπιάσαμεν, οὐκ ἀνεπαύθημεν.
5We are closely pursued; we are weary and find no rest.
6Αἴγυπτος ἔδωκε χεῖρα, Ἀσσοὺρ εἰς πλησμονὴν αὐτῶν.
6We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
7οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἥμαρτον, οὐχ ὑπάραχουσιν· ἡμεῖς τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν ὑπέσχομεν.
7Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their punishment.
8δοῦλοι ἐκυρίευσαν ἡμῶν, λυτρούμενος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
8Slaves rule over us; there is no one to deliver us from their hands.
9ἐν ταῖας ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν, εἰσοίσομεν ἄρτον ἡμῶν, ἀπὸ προσώπου ρομφαίας τῆς ἐρήμου.
9We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the wilderness.
10τὸ δέρμα ἡμῶν ὡς κλίβανος ἐπελιώθη, συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου καταιγίδων λιμοῦ.
10Our skin is as hot as an oven with fever from our hunger.
11γυναῖκας ἐν Σιὼν ἐταπείνωσαν, παρθένους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα.
11Women have been ravished in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah.
12ἄρχοντες ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, ἐκρεμάσθησαν, πρεσβύτεροι οὐκ ἐδοξάσθησαν.
12Princes have been hung up by their hands; elders receive no respect.
13ἐκλεκτοὶ κλαυθμὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ νεανίσκοι ἐν ξύλῳ ἠσθένησαν.
13Young men toil at millstones; boys stagger under loads of wood.
14καὶ πρεσβύται ἀπὸ πύλης κατέπαυσαν, ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ ψαλμῶν αὐτῶν κατέπαυσαν.
14The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.
15κατέλυσε χαρὰ καρδίας ἡμῶν, ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος ὁ χορὸς ἡμῶν,
15Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.
16ἔπεσεν ὁ στέφανος ἡμῶν τῆς κεφαλῆς· οὐαὶ δὴ ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν.
16The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17περὶ τούτου ἐγενήθη ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν, περὶ τούτου ἐσκότασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
17Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—
18ἐπ' ὄρος Σιών, ὅτι ἠφανίσθη, ἀλώπεκες διῆλθον ἐν αὐτῇ.
18because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.
19σὺ δέ, Κύριε, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικήσεις, ὁ θρόνος σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
19You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.
20ἱνατί εἰς νῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ ἡμῶν, καταλείψεις ἡμᾶς εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν;
20Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
21ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς, Κύριε, πρός σε, καὶ ἐπιστραφησόμεθα· καὶ ἀνακαίνισον ἡμέρας ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν.
21Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,
22ὅτι ἀπωθούμενος ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς, ὠργίσθης ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἕως σφόδρα.
22unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
