| 1 κατάβηθι κάθισον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν παρθένος θυγάτηρ Βαβυλῶνος εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων ὅτι οὐκέτι προστεθήσῃ κληθῆναι ἁπαλὴ καὶ τρυφερά 2 λαβὲ μύλον ἄλεσον ἄλευρον ἀποκάλυψαι τὸ κατακάλυμμά σου ἀνακάλυψαι τὰς πολιάς ἀνάσυραι τὰς κνήμας διάβηθι ποταμούς 3 ἀνακαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη σου φανήσονται οἱ ὀνειδισμοί σου τὸ δίκαιον ἐκ σοῦ λήμψομαι οὐκέτι μὴ παραδῶ ἀνθρώποις 4 εἶπεν ὁ ῥυσάμενός σε κύριος σαβαωθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἅγιος Ισραηλ 5 κάθισον κατανενυγμένη εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων οὐκέτι μὴ κληθῇς ἰσχὺς βασιλείας 6 παρωξύνθην ἐπὶ τῷ λαῷ μου ἐμίανας τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἐγὼ ἔδωκα εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου σὺ δὲ οὐκ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς ἔλεος τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἐβάρυνας τὸν ζυγὸν σφόδρα 7 καὶ εἶπας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσομαι ἄρχουσα οὐκ ἐνόησας ταῦτα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου οὐδὲ ἐμνήσθης τὰ ἔσχατα 8 νῦν δὲ ἄκουσον ταῦτα ἡ τρυφερὰ ἡ καθημένη πεποιθυῖα ἡ λέγουσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα οὐ καθιῶ χήρα οὐδὲ γνώσομαι ὀρφανείαν 9 νῦν δὲ ἥξει ἐξαίφνης ἐπὶ σὲ τὰ δύο ταῦτα ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ χηρεία καὶ ἀτεκνία ἥξει ἐξαίφνης ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι τῶν ἐπαοιδῶν σου σφόδρα 10 τῇ ἐλπίδι τῆς πονηρίας σου σὺ γὰρ εἶπας ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα γνῶθι ὅτι ἡ σύνεσις τούτων καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου ἔσται σοι αἰσχύνη καὶ εἶπας τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα 11 καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ἀπώλεια καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς βόθυνος καὶ ἐμπεσῇ εἰς αὐτόν καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ταλαιπωρία καὶ οὐ μὴ δυνήσῃ καθαρὰ γενέσθαι καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ἐξαπίνης ἀπώλεια καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς 12 στῆθι νῦν ἐν ταῖς ἐπαοιδαῖς σου καὶ τῇ πολλῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἃ ἐμάνθανες ἐκ νεότητός σου εἰ δυνήσῃ ὠφεληθῆναι 13 κεκοπίακας ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς σου στήτωσαν καὶ σωσάτωσάν σε οἱ ἀστρολόγοι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οἱ ὁρῶντες τοὺς ἀστέρας ἀναγγειλάτωσάν σοι τί μέλλει ἐπὶ σὲ ἔρχεσθαι 14 ἰδοὺ πάντες ὡς φρύγανα ἐπὶ πυρὶ κατακαήσονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωνται τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἐκ φλογός ὅτι ἔχεις ἄνθρακας πυρός κάθισαι ἐπ' αὐτούς 15 οὗτοι ἔσονταί σοι βοήθεια ἐκοπίασας ἐν τῇ μεταβολῇ σου ἐκ νεότητος ἄνθρωπος καθ' ἑαυτὸν ἐπλανήθη σοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔσται σωτηρία | 1 Come down, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans, for you shall no more be called delicate and tender. 2 Take a millstone and grind meal: uncover your shame, strip your shoulder, make bare your legs, pass over the rivers. 3 Your nakedness shall be discovered, and your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and no man shall resist me. 4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit silent, and get into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called the lady of kingdoms. 6 I was angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and have given them into your hand: you have shown no mercy to them: upon the ancient you have laid your yoke exceeding heavy. 7 And you have said: I shall be a lady for ever: you have not laid these things to your heart, neither have you remembered your latter end. 8 And now hear these things, you that are delicate, and dwellest confidently, that say in your heart: I am, and there is none else besides me: I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know barrenness. 9 These two things shall come upon you suddenly in one day, barrenness and widowhood. All things have come upon you, because of the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great hardness of your enchanters. 10 And you have trusted in your wickedness, and have said: There is none that sees me. Your wisdom, and, your knowledge, this has deceived you. And you have said in your heart: I am, and besides me there is no other. 11 Evil shall come upon you, and you shall not know the rising thereof: and calamity shall fall violently upon you, which you can not keep off: misery shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know. 12 Stand now with your enchanters, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have laboured from your youth, if so be it may profit you anything, or if you may become stronger. 13 You have failed in the multitude of your counsels: let now the astrologers stand and save you, they that gazed at the stars, and counted the months, that from them they might tell the things that shall come to you. 14 Behold they are as stubble, fire has burnt them, they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flames: there are no coals wherewith they may be warmed, nor fire, that they may sit thereat. 15 Such are all the things become to you, in which you have laboured: your merchants from your youth, every one has erred in his own way, there is none that can save you. | 1 Descende, sede in pulvere, virgo filia Babylon : sede in terra; non est solium filiæ Chaldæorum, quia ultra non vocaberis mollis et tenera. 2 Tolle molam, et mole farinam; denuda turpitudinem tuam; discooperi humerum, revela crura, transi flumina. 3 Revelabitur ignominia tua, et videbitur opprobrium tuum; ultionem capiam, et non resistet mihi homo. 4 Redemptor noster, Dominus exercituum nomen illius, Sanctus Israël. 5 Sede tacens, et intra in tenebras, filia Chaldæorum, quia non vocaberis ultra domina regnorum. 6 Iratus sum super populum meum : contaminavi hæreditatem meam, et dedi eos in manu tua : non posuisti eis misericordias; super senem aggravasti jugum tuum valde. 7 Et dixisti : In sempiternum ero domina. Non posuisti hæc super cor tuum, neque recordata es novissimi tui. 8 Et nunc audi hæc delicata, et habitans confidenter, quæ dicis in corde tuo : Ego sum, et non est præter me amplius; non sedebo vidua, et ignorabo sterilitatem. 9 Venient tibi duo hæc subito in die una, sterilitas et viduitas : universa venerunt super te, propter multitudinem maleficiorum tuorum, et propter duritiam incantatorum tuorum vehementem. 10 Et fiduciam habuisti in malitia tua, et dixisti : Non est qui videat me. Sapientia tua et scientia tua, hæc decepit te. Et dixisti in corde tuo : Ego sum, et præter me non est altera. 11 Veniet super te malum, et nescies ortum ejus; et irruet super te calamitas quam non poteris expiare; veniet super te repente miseria quam nescies. 12 Sta cum incantatoribus tuis et cum multitudine maleficiorum tuorum, in quibus laborasti ab adolescentia tua, si forte quod prosit tibi, aut si possis fieri fortior. 13 Defecisti in multitudine consiliorum tuorum. Stent, et salvent te augures cæli, qui contemplabantur sidera, et supputabant menses, ut ex eis annuntiarent ventura tibi. 14 Ecce facti sunt quasi stipula, ignis combussit eos; non liberabunt animam suam de manu flammæ; non sunt prunæ quibus calefiant, nec focus ut sedeant ad eum. 15 Sic facta sunt tibi in quibuscumque laboraveras : negotiatores tui ab adolescentia tua, unusquisque in via sua erraverunt; non est qui salvet te. |
