Lamentaciones 5
Zürcher Bibel 1931
1GEDENKE, o Herr, was uns geschehen, schau her und sieh unsre Schmach! /
2Unser Erbe ist Fremden zugefallen, Ausländern unsre Häuser. /
3Wir sind Waisen geworden, vaterlos, unsre Mütter zu Witwen. /
4Das Wasser, das wir trinken, müssen wir bezahlen, nur um Geld bekommen wir Holz. /
5Auf dem Nacken sitzen uns die Verfolger; wir sind ermattet, man gönnt uns nicht Ruhe. /
6Den Ägyptern unterwerfen wir uns, den Assyrern, um uns satt zu essen. /
7Unsre Väter haben gesündigt, sie sind nicht mehr; und wir, wir tragen ihre Schuld. /
8Knechte beherrschen uns, niemand entreisst uns ihrer Hand. /
9Mit Lebensgefahr holen wir unser Brot, in Furcht vor dem Schwert der Wüste. /
10Unsre Haut glüht wie ein Ofen vor den Gluten des Hungers. /
11Frauen wurden in Zion geschändet, Mädchen in den Städten Judas. /
12Die Fürsten wurden durch ihre Hand gehängt, die Ältesten nicht geehrt. /
13Jünglinge mussten die Handmühle tragen, und Knaben strauchelten unter der Holzlast. /
14Die Greise beraten nicht mehr im Tor, die Jünglinge lassen ihr Saitenspiel. /
15Die Freude unsres Herzens hat ein Ende, unser Reigen hat sich in Klage verkehrt. /
16Die Krone unsres Hauptes ist gefallen. Wehe uns, dass wir gesündigt haben! / (a) Jer 13:18
17Darob ist unser Herz krank geworden, darob sind unsre Augen trübe, /
18dass der Berg Zion wüste liegt, dass Füchse darauf streifen. /
19Du, o Herr, thronest in Ewigkeit, dein Thron steht für und für. / (a) Ps 9:8; 102:13; 103:19
20Warum willst du unser auf immer vergessen, uns so lange verlassen? /
21Führe uns zu dir zurück, o Herr, auf dass wir wiederkehren! / Erneuere unsre Tage wie vor alters! / (a) Jer 17:14; 31:18
22Oder hast du uns gänzlich verworfen, zürnest uns gar so sehr?
Reina-Valera 1909
1ACUÉRDATE, oh Jehová, de lo que nos ha sucedido: ve y mira nuestro oprobio.
2Nuestra heredad se ha vuelto á extraños, nuestras casas á forasteros.
3Huérfanos somos sin padre, nuestras madres como viudas.
4Nuestra agua bebemos por dinero; nuestra leña por precio compramos.
5Persecución padecemos sobre nuestra cerviz: nos cansamos, y no hay para nosotros reposo.
6Al Egipcio y al Asirio dimos la mano, para saciarnos de pan.
7Nuestros padres pecaron, y son muertos; y nosotros llevamos sus castigos.
8Siervos se enseñorearon de nosotros; no hubo quien de su mano nos librase.
9Con peligro de nuestras vidas traíamos nuestro pan delante del cuchillo del desierto.
10Nuestra piel se ennegreció como un horno á causa del ardor del hambre.
11Violaron á las mujeres en Sión, á las vírgenes en las ciudades de Judá.
12A los príncipes colgaron por su mano; no respetaron el rostro de los viejos.
13Llevaron los mozos á moler, y los muchachos desfallecieron en la leña.
14Los ancianos cesaron de la puerta, los mancebos de sus canciones.
15Cesó el gozo de nuestro corazón; nuestro corro se tornó en luto.
16Cayó la corona de nuestra cabeza: ¡ay ahora de nosotros! porque pecamos.
17Por esto fué entristecido nuestro corazón, por esto se entenebrecieron nuestros ojos:
18Por el monte de Sión que está asolado; zorras andan en él.
19Mas tú, Jehová, permanecerás para siempre: tu trono de generación en generación.
20¿Por qué te olvidarás para siempre de nosotros, y nos dejarás por largos días?
21Vuélvenos, oh Jehová, á ti, y nos volveremos: renueva nuestros días como al principio.
22Porque repeliendo nos has desechado; te has airado contra nosotros en gran manera.
King James Version
1Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold 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 unto us.
5Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
6We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
8Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
9We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
13They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
15The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
18Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

1Remember, LORD, what has come on us. Look, and see our reproach.
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are as widows.
4We must pay for water to drink. Our wood is sold to us.
5Our pursuers are on our necks. We are weary, and have no rest.
6We have given our hands to the Egyptians, and 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 in 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 hands. The faces of elders were not honored.
13The young men carry millstones. The children stumbled under loads of wood.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, and the young men from their music.
15The joy of our heart has ceased. Our dance is turned into mourning.
16The crown has 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, LORD, remain forever. Your throne is from generation to generation.
20Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?
21Turn us to yourself, LORD, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.
22But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.
