King James Version with Apocrypha
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 strangers, our houses to aliens.
3ὀρφανοὶ ἐγενήθημεν, οὐχ ὑπάρχει πατήρ· μητέρες ἡμῶν ὡς αἱ χῆραι.
3We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
4ὕδωρ ἡμῶν ἐν ἀργυρίῳ ἐπίομεν, ξύλα ἡμῶν ἐν ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον ἡμῶν.
4We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
5ἐδιώχθημεν, ἐκοπιάσαμεν, οὐκ ἀνεπαύθημεν.
5Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
6Αἴγυπτος ἔδωκε χεῖρα, Ἀσσοὺρ εἰς πλησμονὴν αὐτῶν.
6We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to 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 is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
9ἐν ταῖας ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν, εἰσοίσομεν ἄρτον ἡμῶν, ἀπὸ προσώπου ρομφαίας τῆς ἐρήμου.
9We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10τὸ δέρμα ἡμῶν ὡς κλίβανος ἐπελιώθη, συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου καταιγίδων λιμοῦ.
10Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11γυναῖκας ἐν Σιὼν ἐταπείνωσαν, παρθένους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα.
11They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12ἄρχοντες ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, ἐκρεμάσθησαν, πρεσβύτεροι οὐκ ἐδοξάσθησαν.
12Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
13ἐκλεκτοὶ κλαυθμὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ νεανίσκοι ἐν ξύλῳ ἠσθένησαν.
13They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14καὶ πρεσβύται ἀπὸ πύλης κατέπαυσαν, ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ ψαλμῶν αὐτῶν κατέπαυσαν.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
15κατέλυσε χαρὰ καρδίας ἡμῶν, ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος ὁ χορὸς ἡμῶν,
15The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16ἔπεσεν ὁ στέφανος ἡμῶν τῆς κεφαλῆς· οὐαὶ δὴ ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν.
16The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17περὶ τούτου ἐγενήθη ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν, περὶ τούτου ἐσκότασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
18ἐπ' ὄρος Σιών, ὅτι ἠφανίσθη, ἀλώπεκες διῆλθον ἐν αὐτῇ.
18Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19σὺ δέ, Κύριε, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικήσεις, ὁ θρόνος σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
19Thou, O LORD , remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20ἱνατί εἰς νῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ ἡμῶν, καταλείψεις ἡμᾶς εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν;
20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς, Κύριε, πρός σε, καὶ ἐπιστραφησόμεθα· καὶ ἀνακαίνισον ἡμέρας ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν.
21Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD , and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22ὅτι ἀπωθούμενος ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς, ὠργίσθης ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἕως σφόδρα.
22But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
