1 اذكر يا رب ماذا صار لنا. اشرف وانظر الى عارنا.2 قد صار ميراثنا للغرباء. بيوتنا للاجانب.3 صرنا ايتاما بلا اب. امهاتنا كارامل.4 شربنا ماءنا بالفضة. حطبنا بالثمن يأتي.5 على اعناقنا نضطهد. نتعب ولا راحة لنا.6 اعطينا اليد للمصريين والاشوريين لنشبع خبزا.7 آباؤنا اخطأوا وليسوا بموجودين ونحن نحمل آثامهم.8 عبيد حكموا علينا. ليس من يخلص من ايديهم.9 بانفسنا نأتي بخبزنا من جرى سيف البرية.10 جلودنا اسودّت كتنور من جرى نيران الجوع.11 اذلوا النساء في صهيون العذارى في مدن يهوذا.12 الرؤساء بايديهم يعلقون ولم تعتبر وجوه الشيوخ.13 اخذوا الشبان للطحن والصبيان عثروا تحت الحطب.14 كفت الشيوخ عن الباب والشبان عن غنائهم.15 مضى فرح قلبنا صار رقصنا نوحا.16 سقط اكليل راسنا. ويل لنا لاننا قد اخطأنا.17 من اجل هذا حزن قلبنا. من اجل هذه اظلمت عيوننا.18 من اجل جبل صهون الخرب. الثعالب ماشية فيه.19 انت يا رب الى الابد تجلس. كرسيك الى دور فدور.20 لماذا تنسانا الى الابد وتتركنا طول الايام.21 ارددنا يا رب اليك فنرتد. جدد ايامنا كالقديم.22 هل كل الرفض رفضتنا هل غضبت علينا جدا

1 Remember, O LORD, what is come on us: consider, and behold our reproach.2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold to us.5 Our necks are under persecution: we labor, and have no rest.6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that does deliver us out of their hand.9 We got our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honored.13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe to us, that we have sinned!17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk on it.19 You, O LORD, remain for ever; your throne from generation to generation.20 Why do you forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?21 Turn you us to you, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.22 But you have utterly rejected us; you are very wroth against us.
