And he said, Thus saith the Lord, ALEPH. How has the Lord darkened in his wrath the daughter of Sion! he has cast down the glory of Israel from heaven to earth, and has not remembered his footstool.

عربي (فانديك)
اذهب وناد في اذني اورشليم قائلا. هكذا قال الرب. قد ذكرت لك غيرة صباك محبة خطبتك ذهابك ورائي في البرية في ارض غير مزروعة.
Υπαγε και βοησον εις τα ωτα της Ιερουσαλημ λεγων, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Ενθυμουμαι περι σου την προς σε ευμενειαν μου εν τη νεοτητι σου, την αγαπην της νυμφευσεως σου, οτε με ηκολουθεις εν τη ερημω, εν γη ασπαρτω·
English
I remember the kindness of thy youth, and the love of thine espousals,

عربي (فانديك)
اسرائيل قدس للرب اوائل غلته. كل آكليه ياثمون. شر يأتي عليهم يقول الرب
ο Ισραηλ ητο αγιος εις τον Κυριον, απαρχη των γεννηματων αυτου· παντες οι κατατρωγοντες αυτον ησαν ενοχοι· κακον ηλθεν επ' αυτους, λεγει Κυριος.
English
in following the Holy One of Israel, saith the Lord, BETH. In the day of his wrath the Lord has overwhelmed her as in the sea, and not spared: he has brought down in his fury all the beautiful things of Jacob; he has brought down to the ground the strong-holds of the daughter of Juda; he has profaned her kings and her princes. Israel was the holy people to the Lord, and the first-fruits of his increase: all that devoured him shall offend; evils shall come upon them, saith the Lord. GIMEL. He has broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has turned back his right hand from the face of the enemy, and has kindled a flame in Jacob as a fire, and it has devoured all things round about.
4
عربي (فانديك)
اسمعوا كلمة الرب يا بيت يعقوب وكل عشائر بيت اسرائيل.
Ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου, οικος Ιακωβ και πασαι αι συγγενειαι του οικου Ισραηλ·
English
Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and every family of the house of Israel. DALETH. He has bent his bow as an opposing enemy: he has strengthened his right hand as an adversary, and has destroyed all the desirable things of my eyes in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion: he has poured forth his anger as fire.
5
عربي (فانديك)
هكذا قال الرب. ماذا وجد فيّ آبائكم من جور حتى ابتعدوا عني وساروا وراء الباطل وصاروا باطلا.
Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Ποιαν αδικιαν ευρηκαν εν εμοι οι πατερες σας, ωστε απεμακρυνθησαν απ' εμου και περιεπατηααν οπισω της ματαιοτητος και εματαιωθησαν;
English
Thus saith the Lord, What trespass have your fathers found in me, that they have revolted far from me, and gone after vanities, and become vain? HE. The Lord is become as an enemy: he has overwhelmed Israel as in the sea, he has overwhelmed her palaces: he has destroyed her strong-holds, and has multiplied the afflicted and humbled ones to the daughter of Juda.

عربي (فانديك)
ولم يقولوا اين هو الرب الذي اصعدنا من ارض مصر الذي سار بنا في البرية في ارض قفر وحفر في ارض يبوسة وظل الموت في ارض لم يعبرها رجل ولم يسكنها انسان.
και δεν ειπον, Που ειναι ο Κυριος, ο αναβιβασας ημας εκ γης Αιγυπτου, ο οδηγησας ημας δια της ερημου, δια τοπου ερημιας και χασματων, δια τοπου ανυδριας και σκιας θανατου, δια τοπου τον οποιον δεν επερασεν ανθρωπος και οπου ανθρωπος δεν κατωκησε;
English
And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land which no man at all went through, and no man dwelt there? VAU. And he has scattered his tabernacle as a vine, he has marred his feast: the Lord has forgotten the feast and the sabbath which he appointed in Sion, and in the fury of his wrath has vexed the king, and priest, and prince.
Και σας εισηγαγον εις τοπον καρποφορον, δια να τρωγητε τους καρπους αυτου και τα αγαθα αυτου· αφου ομως εισηλθετε, εμιανατε την γην μου και κατεστησατε βδελυγμα την κληρονομιαν μου.
English
And I brought you to Carmel, that ye should eat the fruits thereof, and the good thereof; and ye went in, and defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. ZAIN. The Lord has rejected his altar, he has cast off his sanctuary, he has broken by the hand of the enemy the wall of her palaces; they have uttered their voice in the house of the Lord as on a feast day.

عربي (فانديك)
الكهنة لم يقولوا اين هو الرب واهل الشريعة لم يعرفوني والرعاة عصوا عليّ والانبياء تنبأوا ببعل وذهبوا وراء ما لا ينفع
Οι ιερεις δεν ειπον, Που ειναι ο Κυριος; και οι κρατουντες τον νομον δεν με εγνωρισαν· και οι ποιμενες εγινοντο παραβαται εναντιον μου, και οι προφηται προεφητευον δια του Βααλ και περιεπατουν οπισω πραγματων ανωφελων.
English
The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that held by the law knew me not: the shepherds also sinned against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after that which profited not. HETH. And he has turned to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he has stretched out the measuring line, he has not turned back his hand from afflicting her: therefore the bulwark mourned, and the wall was weakened with it.
Δια τουτο ετι θελω κριθη με εσας, λεγει Κυριος, και με τους υιους των υιων σας θελω κριθη.
English
Therefore I will yet plead with you, and will plead with your children’s children. TETH. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he has destroyed and broken to pieces her bars, and her king and her prince among the Gentiles: there is no law, nay, her prophets have seen no vision from the Lord.

عربي (فانديك)
فاعبروا جزائر كتيم وانظروا وارسلوا الى قيدار وانتبهوا جدا وانظروا هل صار مثل هذا.
Διοτι διαβητε εις τας νησους των Κητιαιων και ιδετε· και πεμψατε εις Κηδαρ· και παρατηρησατε επιμελως, και ιδετε αν εσταθη τοιουτον πραγμα.
English
For go to the isles of the Chettians, and se; and send to Kedar, and observe accurately, and see if such things have been done; JOD. The elders of the daughter of Sion have sat upon the ground, they have kept silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloths: they have brought down to the ground the chief virgins in Jerusalem.
11
عربي (فانديك)
هل بدلت امة آلهة وهي ليست آلهة. اما شعبي فقد بدل مجده بما لا ينفع.
Ηλλαξεν εθνος θεους, αν και ουτοι δεν ηναι θεοι; ο λαος μου ομως ηλλαξε την δοξαν αυτου με πραγμα ανωφελες.
English
if the nations will change their gods, though they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory, for that from which they shall not be profited. CHAPH. Mine eyes have failed with tears, my heart is troubled, my glory is cast down to the ground, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; while the infant and suckling swoon in the streets of the city.
12
عربي (فانديك)
ابهتي ايتها السموات من هذا واقشعري وتحيري جدا يقول الرب.
Εκπλαγητε, ουρανοι, δια τουτο, και φριξατε, συνταραχθητε σφοδρα, λεγει Κυριος.
English
The heaven is amazed at this, and is very exceedingly horror-struck, saith the Lord. LAMED. They said to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? while they fainted like wounded men in the streets of the city, while their souls were poured out into their mother’s bosom.
13
عربي (فانديك)
لان شعبي عمل شرين. تركوني انا ينبوع المياه الحية لينقروا لانفسهم ابآرا ابآرا مشققة لا تضبط ماء
Διοτι δυο κακα επραξεν ο λαος μου· εμε εγκατελιπον, την πηγην των ζωντων υδατων, και εσκαψαν εις εαυτους λακκους, λακκους συντετριμμενους, οιτινες δεν δυνανται να κρατησωσιν υδωρ.
English
For my people has committed two faults, and evil ones: they have forsaken me, the fountain of water of life, and hewn out for themselves broken cisterns, which will not be able to hold water. MEM. What shall I testify to thee, or what shall I compare to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? who shall save and comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for the cup of thy destruction is enlarged: who shall heal thee?
Μηπως ειναι δουλος ο Ισραηλ; η δουλος οικογενης; δια τι κατεσταθη λαφυρον;
English
Is Israel a servant, or a home-born slave? why has he become a spoil? NUN. Thy prophets have seen for thee vanities and folly: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn back thy captivity; but they have seen for thee vain burdens, and worthless visions.
15
عربي (فانديك)
زمجرت عليه الاشبال اطلقت صوتها وجعلت ارضه خربة. أحرقت مدنه فلا ساكن.
Οι σκυμνοι εβρυχησαν επ' αυτον, εξεδωκαν την φωνην αυτων και κατεστησαν την γην αυτου ερημον· αι πολεις αυτου κατεκαησαν και εμειναν ακατοικητοι.
English
The lions roared upon him, and uttered their voice, which have made his land a wilderness: and his cities are broken down, that they should not be inhabited. SAMECH. All that go by the way have clapped their hands at thee; they have hissed and shaken their head at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, the crown of joy of all the earth?
Οι υιοι προσετι της Νωφ και της Ταφνης συνετριψαν την κορυφην σου.
English
Also the children of Memphis and Taphnas have known thee, and mocked thee. AIN. All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and said, We have swallowed her up: moreover this is the day which we looked for; we have found it, we have seen it.
17
عربي (فانديك)
أما صنعت هذا بنفسك اذ تركت الرب الهك حينما كان مسيّرك في الطريق.
Δεν εκαμες τουτο συ εις σεαυτον, διοτι εγκατελιπες Κυριον τον Θεον σου οτε σε ωδηγει εν τη οδω;
English
Has not thy forsaking me brought these things upon thee? saith the Lord thy God. PHE. The Lord has done that which he purposed; he has accomplished his word, even the things which he commanded from the ancient days: he has thrown down, and has not spared: and he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, he has exalted the horn of him that afflicted thee.
18
عربي (فانديك)
والآن ما لك وطريق مصر لشرب مياه شيحور وما لك وطريق اشور لشرب مياه النهر.
Και τωρα τι εχεις να καμης εν τη οδω της Αιγυπτου, δια να πιης τα υδατα Σιωρ; η τι εχεις να καμης εν τη οδω της Ασσυριας, δια να πιης τα υδατα του ποταμου;
English
And now what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Geon? and what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of rivers? TSADE. Their heart cried to the Lord, Ye walls of Sion, pour down tears like torrents day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eyes cease.
19
عربي (فانديك)
يوبخك شرّك وعصيانك يؤدبك. فاعلمي وانظري ان تركك الرب الهك شر ومر وان خشيتي ليست فيك يقول السيد رب الجنود
Η ασεβεια σου θελει σε παιδευσει και αι παραβασεις σου θελουσι σε ελεγξει· γνωρισον λοιπον και ιδε, οτι ειναι κακον και πικρον, το οτι εγκατελιπες Κυριον τον Θεον σου, και δεν ειναι ο φοβος μου εν σοι, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων.
English
Thine apostasy shall correct thee, and thy wickedness shall reprove thee: know then, and see, that thy forsaking me has been bitter to thee, saith the Lord thy God; and I have taken no pleasure in thee, saith the Lord thy God. KOPH. Arise, rejoice in the night at the beginning of thy watch: pour out thy heart as water before the face of the Lord; lift up thy hands to him for the life of thine infants, who faint for hunger at the top of all the streets.
20
عربي (فانديك)
لانه منذ القديم كسرت نيرك وقطعت قيودك وقلت لا اتعبد. لانك على كل اكمة عالية وتحت كل شجرة خضراء انت اضطجعت زانية.
Επειδη προ πολλου συνετριψα τον ζυγον σου, διεσπασα τα δεσμα σου, και συ ειπας, δεν θελω σταθη παραβατης πλεον· ενω επι παντα υψηλον λοφον και υποκατω παντος δενδρου πρασινου περιεπλανηθης εκπορνευων.
English
For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, and plucked asunder thy bands; and thou has said, I will not serve thee, but will go upon every high hill, and under every shady tree, there will I indulge in my fornication. RHECHS. Behold, O Lord, and see for whom thou has gathered thus. Shall the women eat the fruit of their womb? the cook has made a gathering: shall the infants sucking at the breasts be slain? wilt thou slay the priest and prophet in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21
عربي (فانديك)
وانا قد غرستك كرمة سورق زرع حق كلها. فكيف تحولت لي سروغ جفنة غريبة.
Εγω δε σε εφυτευσα αμπελον εκλεκτην, σπερμα ολως αληθινον· πως λοιπον μετεβληθης εις παρεφθαρμενον κλημα αμπελου ξενης εις εμε;
English
Yet I planted thee a fruitful vine, entirely of the right sort: how art thou a strange vine turned to bitterness! CHSEN. The child and old man have lain down in the street: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity: thou hast slain them with the sword and with famine; in the day of thy wrath thou hast mangled them, thou has not spared.
22
عربي (فانديك)
فانك وان اغتسلت بنطرون واكثرت لنفسك الاشنان فقد نقش اثمك امامي يقول السيد الرب
Δια τουτο και εαν πλυθης με νιτρον και πληθυνης εις σεαυτον το σμηγμα, η ανομια σου μενει σεσημειωμενη ενωπιον μου, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.
English
Though thou shouldest wash thyself with nitre, and multiply to thyself soap, still thou art stained by thine iniquities before me, saith the Lord. THAU. He has called my sojourners round about to a solemn day, and there was not in the day of the wrath of the Lord any one that escaped or was left; whereas I have strengthened and multiplied all mine enemies.
23
عربي (فانديك)
كيف تقولين لم اتنجس. وراء بعليم لم اذهب. انظري طريقك في الوادي. اعرفي ما عملت يا ناقة خفيفة ضبعة في طرقها
Πως δυνασαι να ειπης, δεν εμιανθην, δεν υπηγα οπισω των Βααλειμ; ιδε την οδον σου εν τη φαραγγι, γνωρισον τι επραξας· εισαι ταχεια δρομας διατρεχουσα εν ταις οδοις αυτης·
English
How wilt thou say, I am not polluted, and have not gone after Baal? behold thy ways in the burial-ground, and know what thou hast done: her voice has howled in the evening:
24
عربي (فانديك)
يا اتان الفراء قد تعودت البرية. في شهوة نفسها تستنشق الريح. عند ضبعها من يردها. كل طالبيها لا يعيون. في شهرها يجدونها.
ονος αγρια συνειθισμενη εις την ερημον, αναπνεουσα τον αερα κατα την επιθυμιαν της καρδιας αυτης· την ορμην αυτης, τις δυναται να επιστρεψη αυτην; παντες οι ζητουντες αυτην δεν θελουσι κοπιαζει· εν τω μηνι αυτης θελουσιν ευρει αυτην.
English
she has extended her ways over the waters of the desert; she was hurried along by the lusts of her soul; she is given up to them, who will turn her back? none that seek her shall be weary; at the time of her humiliation they shall find her.
25
عربي (فانديك)
احفظي رجلك من الحفا وحلقك من الظمإ. فقلت باطل. لا. لاني قد احببت الغرباء وورائهم اذهب.
Κρατησον τον ποδα σου απο του να περιπατησης ανυποδητος, και τον λαρυγγα σου απο διψης· αλλα συ ειπας, εις ματην· ουχι· διοτι ηγαπησα ξενους και κατοπιν αυτων θελω υπαγει.
English
Withdraw thy foot from a rough way, and thy throat from thirst: but she said I will strengthen myself: for she loved strangers, and went after them.
26
عربي (فانديك)
كخزي السارق اذا وجد هكذا خزي بيت اسرائيل هم وملوكهم ورؤساؤهم وكهنتهم وانبياؤهم
Καθως ο κλεπτης αισχυνεται οταν ευρεθη, ουτω θελει αισχυνθη ο οικος Ισραηλ, αυτοι, οι βασιλεις αυτων, οι αρχοντες αυτων και οι ιερεις αυτων και οι προφηται αυτων·
English
As is the shame of a thief when he is caught, so shall the children of Israel be ashamed; they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
27
عربي (فانديك)
قائلين للعود انت ابي وللحجر انت ولدتني. لانهم حوّلوا نحوي القفا لا الوجه وفي وقت بليتهم يقولون قم وخلصنا.
οιτινες λεγουσι προς το ξυλον, Πατηρ μου εισαι· και προς τον λιθον, Συ με εγεννησας· διοτι εστρεψαν νωτα προς εμε και ουχι προσωπον· εν τω καιρω ομως της συμφορας αυτων θελουσιν ειπει, Αναστηθι και σωσον ημας.
English
They said to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou has begotten me: and they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces: yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.
28
عربي (فانديك)
فاين آلهتك التي صنعت لنفسك. فليقوموا ان كانوا يخلّصونك في وقت بليتك. لانه على عدد مدنك صارت آلهتك يا يهوذا.
Και που ειναι οι θεοι σου, τους οποιους εκαμες εις σεαυτον; ας αναστηθωσιν, εαν δυνανται να σε σωσωσιν εν τω καιρω της συμφορας σου· διοτι κατα τον αριθμον των πολεων σου ησαν οι θεοι σου, Ιουδα.
English
And where are thy gods, which thou madest for thyself? will they arise and save in the time of thine affliction? for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.
Ω γενεα, ιδετε τον λογον του Κυριου· Εσταθην ερημος εις τον Ισραηλ, γη σκοτους; δια τι λεγει ο λαος μου, Ημεις ειμεθα κυριοι· δεν θελομεν ελθει πλεον προς σε;
English
Hear ye the word of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? wherefore has my people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to thee any more?
32
عربي (فانديك)
هل تنسى عذراء زينتها او عروس مناطقها. اما شعبي فقد نسيني اياما بلا عدد.
Ναι, θελεις εξελθει εντευθεν με τας χειρας σου επι την κεφαλην σου· διοτι ο Κυριος απεβαλε τας ελπιδας σου και δεν θελεις ευημερησει εις αυτας.
English
For thou has been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat thy ways; but thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assur. For thou shalt go forth thence also with thine hands upon thine head; for the Lord has rejected thine hope, and thou shalt not prosper in it.
