예레미야 애가 5

1여호와여 우리의 당한 것을 기억하시고 우리의 수욕을 감찰하옵소서 2우리 기업이 외인에게, 우리 집들도 외인에게 돌아갔나이다 3우리는 아비 없는 외로운 자식이오며 우리 어미는 과부 같으니 4우리가 은을 주고 물을 마시며 값을 주고 섶을 얻으오며 5우리를 쫓는 자는 우리 목을 눌렀사오니 우리가 곤비하여 쉴 수 없나이다 6우리가 애굽 사람과 앗수르 사람과 악수하고 양식을 얻어 배불리고자 하였나이다 7우리 열조는 범죄하고 없어졌고 우리는 그 죄악을 담당하였나이다 8종들이 우리를 관할함이여 그 손에서 건져낼 자가 없나이다 9광야에는 칼이 있으므로 죽기를 무릅써야 양식을 얻사오니 10주림의 열기로 인하여 우리의 피부가 아궁이처럼 검으니이다 11대적이 시온에서 부녀들을, 유다 각 성에서 처녀들을 욕보였나이다 12방백들의 손이 매어달리며 장로들의 얼굴이 존경을 받지 못하나이다 13소년들이 맷돌을 지오며 아이들이 섶을 지다가 엎드러지오며 14노인은 다시 성문에 앉지 못하며 소년은 다시 노래하지 못하나이다 15우리 마음에 희락이 그쳤고 우리의 무도가 변하여 애통이 되었사오며 16우리 머리에서 면류관이 떨어졌사오니 오호라 우리의 범죄함을 인함이니이다 17이러므로 우리 마음이 피곤하고 이러므로 우리 눈이 어두우며 18시온 산이 황무하여 여우가 거기서 노나이다 19여호와여 주는 영원히 계시오며 주의 보좌는 세세에 미치나이다 20주께서 어찌하여 우리를 영원히 잊으시오며 우리를 이같이 오래 버리시나이까 21여호와여 우리를 주께로 돌이키소서 그리하시면 우리가 주께로 돌아 가겠사오니 우리의 날을 다시 새롭게 하사 옛적 같게 하옵소서 22주께서 우리를 아주 버리셨사오며 우리에게 진노하심이 특심하시니이다

1Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us: Look, and see our reproach. 2Our inheritance is turned to strangers, Our houses to aliens. 3We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows. 4We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold to us. 5Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest. 6We have given the hand to the Egyptians, To the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7Our fathers sinned, and are no more; We have borne their iniquities. 8Servants rule over us: There is no one to deliver us out of their hand. 9We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness. 10Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine. 11They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah. 12Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of elders were not honored. 13The young men bare the mill; The children stumbled under the wood. 14The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music. 15The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning. 16The crown is fallen from our head: Woe to us! for we have sinned. 17For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim; 18For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes walk on it. 19You, Yahweh, remain forever; Your throne is from generation to generation. 20Why do you forget us forever, And forsake us so long time? 21Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we shall be turned. Renew our days as of old. 22But you have utterly rejected us; You are very angry against us.

1Gedenk, HEERE, wat ons geschied is, aanschouw het, en zie onzen smaad aan. 2Ons erfdeel is tot de vreemdelingen gewend, onze huizen tot de uitlanders. 3Wij zijn wezen zonder vader, onze moeders zijn als de weduwen. 4Ons water moeten wij voor geld drinken; ons hout komt ons op prijs te staan. 5Wij lijden vervolging op onze halzen; zijn wij woede, men laat ons geen rust. 6Wij hebben den Egyptenaar de hand gegeven, en den Assyrier, om met brood verzadigd te worden. 7Onze vaders hebben gezondigd, en zijn niet meer, en wij dragen hun ongerechtigheden. 8Knechten heersen over ons; er is niemand, die ons uit hun hand rukke. 9Wij moeten ons brood met gevaar onzes levens halen, vanwege het zwaard der woestijn. 10Onze huid is zwart geworden gelijk een oven, vanwege den geweldigen storm des hongers. 11Zij hebben de vrouwen te Sion verkracht, en de jonge dochters in de steden van Juda. 12De vorsten zijn door hunlieder hand opgehangen; de aangezichten der ouden zijn niet geeerd geweest. 13Zij hebben de jongelingen weggenomen, om te malen, en de jongens struikelen onder het hout. 14De ouden houden op van de poort, de jongelingen van hun snarenspel. 15De vreugde onzes harten houdt op, onze rei is in treurigheid veranderd. 16De kroon onzes hoofds is afgevallen; o wee nu onzer, dat wij zo gezondigd hebben! 17Daarom is ons hart mat, om deze dingen zijn onze ogen duister geworden. 18Om des bergs Sions wil, die verwoest is, waar de vossen op lopen. 19Gij, o HEERE, zit in eeuwigheid, Uw troon is van geslacht tot geslacht. 20Waarom zoudt Gij ons steeds vergeten? Waarom zoudt Gij ons zo langen tijd verlaten? 21HEERE, bekeer ons tot U, zo zullen wij bekeerd zijn; vernieuw onze dagen als van ouds. 22Want zoudt Gij ons ganselijk verwerpen? Zoudt Gij zozeer tegen ons verbolgen zijn?
