1ΜΝΗΣΘΗΤΙ, Κύριε, ὅ,τι ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν· ἐπίβλεψον καὶ ἰδὲ τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν ἡμῶν.
1Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach.
2κληρονομία ἡμῶν μετεστράφη ἀλλοτρίοις, οἱ οἶκοι ἡμῶν ξένοις.
2Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.
3ὀρφανοὶ ἐγενήθημεν, οὐχ ὑπάρχει πατήρ· μητέρες ἡμῶν ὡς αἱ χῆραι.
3We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.
4ὕδωρ ἡμῶν ἐν ἀργυρίῳ ἐπίομεν, ξύλα ἡμῶν ἐν ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον ἡμῶν.
4We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.
5ἐδιώχθημεν, ἐκοπιάσαμεν, οὐκ ἀνεπαύθημεν.
5We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.
6Αἴγυπτος ἔδωκε χεῖρα, Ἀσσοὺρ εἰς πλησμονὴν αὐτῶν.
6We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread.
7οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἥμαρτον, οὐχ ὑπάραχουσιν· ἡμεῖς τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν ὑπέσχομεν.
7Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities.
8δοῦλοι ἐκυρίευσαν ἡμῶν, λυτρούμενος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
8Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand.
9ἐν ταῖας ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν, εἰσοίσομεν ἄρτον ἡμῶν, ἀπὸ προσώπου ρομφαίας τῆς ἐρήμου.
9We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert.
10τὸ δέρμα ἡμῶν ὡς κλίβανος ἐπελιώθη, συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου καταιγίδων λιμοῦ.
10Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine.
11γυναῖκας ἐν Σιὼν ἐταπείνωσαν, παρθένους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα.
11They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda.
12ἄρχοντες ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, ἐκρεμάσθησαν, πρεσβύτεροι οὐκ ἐδοξάσθησαν.
12The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the persons of the ancient.
13ἐκλεκτοὶ κλαυθμὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ νεανίσκοι ἐν ξύλῳ ἠσθένησαν.
13They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood.
14καὶ πρεσβύται ἀπὸ πύλης κατέπαυσαν, ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ ψαλμῶν αὐτῶν κατέπαυσαν.
14The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the choir of the singers.
15κατέλυσε χαρὰ καρδίας ἡμῶν, ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος ὁ χορὸς ἡμῶν,
15The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning.
16ἔπεσεν ὁ στέφανος ἡμῶν τῆς κεφαλῆς· οὐαὶ δὴ ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν.
16The crown is fallen from our head woe to us, because we have sinned.
17περὶ τούτου ἐγενήθη ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν, περὶ τούτου ἐσκότασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
17Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim,
18ἐπ' ὄρος Σιών, ὅτι ἠφανίσθη, ἀλώπεκες διῆλθον ἐν αὐτῇ.
18For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it.
19σὺ δέ, Κύριε, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικήσεις, ὁ θρόνος σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
19But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from generation to generation.
20ἱνατί εἰς νῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ ἡμῶν, καταλείψεις ἡμᾶς εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν;
20Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a long time?
21ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς, Κύριε, πρός σε, καὶ ἐπιστραφησόμεθα· καὶ ἀνακαίνισον ἡμέρας ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν.
21Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning.
22ὅτι ἀπωθούμενος ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς, ὠργίσθης ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἕως σφόδρα.
22But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us.
