Plângerile 5
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Relele de acum şi aducerile-aminte
5 Adu-Ţi(A) aminte, Doamne, de ce ni s-a întâmplat!
Uită-Te şi vezi-ne ocara(B)!
2 Moştenirea(C) noastră a trecut la nişte străini,
casele noastre, la cei din alte ţări!
3 Am rămas orfani, fără tată;
mamele noastre sunt ca nişte văduve.
4 Apa noastră o bem pe bani,
şi lemnele noastre trebuie să le plătim.
5 Prigonitorii ne urmăresc cu îndârjire(D)
şi, când obosim, nu ne dau odihnă.
6 Am întins(E) mâna spre(F) Egipt,
spre Asiria, ca să ne săturăm de pâine.
7 Părinţii noştri care au păcătuit(G) nu mai(H) sunt,
iar noi le purtăm păcatele.
8 Robii ne(I) stăpânesc,
şi nimeni nu ne izbăveşte din mâinile lor.
9 Ne căutăm pâinea cu primejdia vieţii noastre,
căci ne ameninţă sabia în pustie.
10 Ne arde pielea(J), ca un cuptor,
de frigurile foamei.
11 Au necinstit(K) pe femei în Sion,
pe fecioare în cetăţile lui Iuda.
12 Mai-marii noştri au fost spânzuraţi de mâinile lor.
Bătrânilor nu le-a dat nicio cinste(L).
13 Tinerii au fost puşi să râşnească(M)
şi copiii cădeau sub poverile de lemn.
14 Bătrânii nu se mai duc la poartă
şi tinerii au încetat să mai cânte.
15 S-a dus bucuria din inimile noastre
şi jalea a luat locul jocurilor noastre.
16 A căzut cununa(N) de pe capul nostru!
Vai de noi, căci am păcătuit!
17 Dacă ne doare(O) inima,
dacă ni s-au întunecat(P) ochii,
18 este din pricină că Muntele Sionului este pustiit,
din pricină că se plimbă şacalii prin el.
19 Dar Tu, Doamne, împărăţeşti(Q) pe vecie;
scaunul Tău de domnie(R) dăinuie din neam în neam!
20 Pentru ce(S) să ne uiţi pe vecie
şi să ne părăseşti pentru multă vreme?
21 Întoarce-ne(T) la Tine, Doamne, şi ne vom întoarce!
Dă-ne iarăşi zile ca cele de odinioară!
22 Să ne fi lepădat Tu de tot oare
şi să Te fi mâniat Tu pe noi peste măsură de mult?
Lamentations 5
King James Version
Lamentations 5
King James Version
5 Remember, O Lord, what is come upon 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 unto us.
5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, 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 doth deliver us out of their hand.
9 We gat 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 honoured.
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 musick.
15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto 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 upon it.
19 Thou, O Lord, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21 Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

Prayer for Restoration
5 Remember, (A)O Lord, what has come upon us;
Look, and behold (B)our reproach!
2 (C)Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens,
And our houses to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans and waifs,
Our mothers are like (D)widows.
4 We pay for the water we drink,
And our wood comes at a price.
5 (E)They pursue at our [a]heels;
We labor and have no rest.
6 (F)We have given our hand (G)to the Egyptians
And the (H)Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 (I)Our fathers sinned and are no more,
But we bear their iniquities.
8 Servants rule over us;
There is none to deliver us from their hand.
9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives,
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
Because of the fever of famine.
11 They (J)ravished the women in Zion,
The maidens in the cities of Judah.
12 Princes were hung up by their hands,
And elders were not respected.
13 Young men (K)ground at the millstones;
Boys staggered under loads of wood.
14 The elders have ceased gathering at the gate,
And the young men from their (L)music.
15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
Our dance has turned into (M)mourning.
16 (N)The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this our heart is faint;
(O)Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is (P)desolate,
With foxes walking about on it.
19 You, O Lord, (Q)remain forever;
(R)Your throne from generation to generation.
20 (S)Why do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?
21 (T)Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be [b]restored;
Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!

Restore Us to Yourself, O Lord
5 (A)Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
look, and see (B)our disgrace!
2 (C)Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans, fatherless;
our mothers are like widows.
4 We must pay for the water we drink;
the wood we get must be bought.
5 (D)Our pursuers are at our necks;
we are weary; we are given no rest.
6 We have given the hand to (E)Egypt, and to (F)Assyria,
to get bread enough.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
(G)and we bear their iniquities.
8 (H)Slaves rule over us;
there is none to deliver us from their hand.
9 (I)We get our bread at the peril of our lives,
because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 (J)Our skin is hot as an oven
with (K)the burning heat of famine.
11 Women are raped in Zion,
young women in the towns of Judah.
12 (L)Princes are hung up by their hands;
(M)no respect is shown to the elders.
13 Young men are compelled to (N)grind at the mill,
and boys stagger (O)under loads of wood.
14 (P)The old men have left the city gate,
the young men (Q)their music.
15 (R)The joy of our hearts has ceased;
(S)our dancing has been turned to mourning.
16 (T)The crown has fallen from our head;
woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 For this (U)our heart has become sick,
for these things (V)our eyes have grown dim,
18 for Mount Zion which lies desolate;
(W)jackals prowl over it.
19 (X)But you, O Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures to all generations.
20 (Y)Why do you forget us forever,
why do you forsake us for so many days?
21 (Z)Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored!
Renew our days as of old—
22 (AA)unless you have utterly rejected us,
and you remain exceedingly angry with us.
