1ועתה שחקו עלי צעירים ממני לימים אשר מאסתי אבותם לשית עם כלבי צאני׃
1But now the younger in time scorn me, whose fathers I would not have set with the dogs of my flock:
2גם כח ידיהם למה לי עלימו אבד כלח׃
2The strength of whose hands was to me as nothing, and they were thought unworthy of life itself.
3בחסר ובכפן גלמוד הערקים ציה אמש שואה ומשאה׃
3Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery.
4הקטפים מלוח עלי שיח ושרש רתמים לחמם׃
4And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
5מן גו יגרשו יריעו עלימו כגנב׃
5Who snatched up these things out of the valleys, and when they had found any of them, they ran to them with a cry.
6בערוץ נחלים לשכן חרי עפר וכפים׃
6They dwelt in the desert places of torrents, and in caves of earth, or upon the gravel.
7בין שיחים ינהקו תחת חרול יספחו׃
7They pleased themselves among these kind of things, and counted it delightful to be under the briers.
8בני נבל גם בני בלי שם נכאו מן הארץ׃
8The children of foolish and base men, and not appearing at all upon the earth.
9ועתה נגינתם הייתי ואהי להם למלה׃
9Now I am turned into their song, and am become their byword.
10תעבוני רחקו מני ומפני לא חשכו רק׃
10They abhor me, and flee far from me, and are not afraid to spit in my face.
11כי יתרו פתח ויענני ורסן מפני שלחו׃
11For he hath opened his quiver, and hath afflicted me, and hath put a bridle into my mouth.
12על ימין פרחח יקומו רגלי שלחו ויסלו עלי ארחות אידם׃
12At the right hand of my rising, my calamities forthwith arose: they have overthrown my feet, and have overwhelmed me with their paths as with waves.
13נתסו נתיבתי להותי יעילו לא עזר למו׃
13They have destroyed my ways, they have lain in wait against me, and they have prevailed, and there was none to help.
14כפרץ רחב יאתיו תחת שאה התגלגלו׃
14They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
15ההפך עלי בלהות תרדף כרוח נדבתי וכעב עברה ישעתי׃
15I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.
16ועתה עלי תשתפך נפשי יאחזוני ימי עני׃
16And now my soul fadeth within myself, and the days of affliction possess me.
17לילה עצמי נקר מעלי וערקי לא ישכבון׃
17In the night my bone is pierced with sorrows: and they that feed upon me, do not sleep.
18ברב כח יתחפש לבושי כפי כתנתי יאזרני׃
18With the multitude of them my garment is consumed, and they have girded me about, as with the collar of my coat.
19הרני לחמר ואתמשל כעפר ואפר׃
19I am compared to dirt, and am likened to embers and ashes.
20אשוע אליך ולא תענני עמדתי ותתבנן בי׃
20I cry to thee, and thou hearest me not: I stand up, and thou dost not regard me.
21תהפך לאכזר לי בעצם ידך תשטמני׃
21Thou art changed to be cruel toward me, and in the hardness of thy hand thou art against me.
22תשאני אל רוח תרכיבני ותמגגני תשוה׃
22Thou hast lifted me up, and set me as it were upon the wind, and thou hast mightily dashed me.
23כי ידעתי מות תשיבני ובית מועד לכל חי׃
23I know that thou wilt deliver me to death, where a house is appointed for every one that liveth.
24אך לא בעי ישלח יד אם בפידו להן שוע׃
24But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save.
25אם לא בכיתי לקשה יום עגמה נפשי לאביון׃
25I wept heretofore for him that was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
26כי טוב קויתי ויבא רע ואיחלה לאור ויבא אפל׃
26I expected good things, and evils are come upon me: I waited for light, and darkness broke out.
27מעי רתחו ולא דמו קדמני ימי עני׃
27My inner parts have boiled without any rest, the days of affliction have prevented me.
28קדר הלכתי בלא חמה קמתי בקהל אשוע׃
28I went mourning without indignation; I rose up, and cried in the crowd.
29אח הייתי לתנים ורע לבנות יענה׃
29I was the brother of dragons, and companion of ostriches.
30עורי שחר מעלי ועצמי חרה מני חרב׃
30My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up with heat.
31ויהי לאבל כנרי ועגבי לקול בכים׃
31My harp is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of those that weep.
