1 Πῶς ἀμαυρωθήσεται χρυσίον, ἀλλοιωθήσεται τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἀγαθόν; ἐξεχύθησαν λίθοι ἅγιοι ἐπ’ ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων. 2 Υἱοὶ Σιων οἱ τίμιοι οἱ ἐπηρμένοι ἐν χρυσίῳ πῶς ἐλογίσθησαν εἰς ἀγγεῖα ὀστράκινα ἔργα χειρῶν κεραμέως; 3 Καί γε δράκοντες ἐξέδυσαν μαστούς, ἐθήλασαν σκύμνοι αὐτῶν· θυγατέρες λαοῦ μου εἰς ἀνίατον ὡς στρουθίον ἐν ἐρήμῳ. 4 Ἐκολλήθη ἡ γλῶσσα θηλάζοντος πρὸς τὸν φάρυγγα αὐτοῦ ἐν δίψει· νήπια ᾔτησαν ἄρτον, ὁ διακλῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς. 5 Οἱ ἔσθοντες τὰς τρυφὰς ἠφανίσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις, οἱ τιθηνούμενοι ἐπὶ κόκκων περιεβάλοντο κοπρίας. 6 Καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη ἀνομία θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας Σοδομων τῆς κατεστραμμένης ὥσπερ σπουδῇ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν ἐν αὐτῇ χεῖρας. 7 Ἐκαθαριώθησαν ναζιραῖοι αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ χιόνα, ἔλαμψαν ὑπὲρ γάλα, ἐπυρρώθησαν ὑπὲρ λίθους σαπφείρου τὸ ἀπόσπασμα αὐτῶν. 8 Ἐσκότασεν ὑπὲρ ἀσβόλην τὸ εἶδος αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις· ἐπάγη δέρμα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν, ἐξηράνθησαν, ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ ξύλον. 9 Καλοὶ ἦσαν οἱ τραυματίαι ῥομφαίας ἢ οἱ τραυματίαι λιμοῦ· ἐπορεύθησαν ἐκκεκεντημένοι ἀπὸ γενημάτων ἀγρῶν. 10 Χεῖρες γυναικῶν οἰκτιρμόνων ἥψησαν τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν εἰς βρῶσιν αὐταῖς ἐν τῷ συντρίμματι τῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου. 11 Συνετέλεσεν κύριος θυμὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐξέχεεν θυμὸν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνῆψεν πῦρ ἐν Σιων, καὶ κατέφαγεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς. 12 Οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν βασιλεῖς γῆς, πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην, ὅτι εἰσελεύσεται ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἐκθλίβων διὰ τῶν πυλῶν Ιερουσαλημ. 13 Ἐξ ἁμαρτιῶν προφητῶν αὐτῆς, ἀδικιῶν ἱερέων αὐτῆς τῶν ἐκχεόντων αἷμα δίκαιον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς. 14 Ἐσαλεύθησαν ἐγρήγοροι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις, ἐμολύνθησαν ἐν αἵματι· ἐν τῷ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἥψαντο ἐνδυμάτων αὐτῶν. 15 Ἀπόστητε ἀκαθάρτων – καλέσατε αὐτούς – ἀπόστητε ἀπόστητε, μὴ ἅπτεσθε, ὅτι ἀνήφθησαν καί γε ἐσαλεύθησαν· εἴπατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν Οὐ μὴ προσθῶσιν τοῦ παροικεῖν. 16 Πρόσωπον κυρίου μερὶς αὐτῶν, οὐ προσθήσει ἐπιβλέψαι αὐτοῖς· πρόσωπον ἱερέων οὐκ ἔλαβον, πρεσβύτας οὐκ ἠλέησαν. 17 Ἔτι ὄντων ἡμῶν ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν μάταια· ἀποσκοπευόντων ἡμῶν ἀπεσκοπεύσαμεν εἰς ἔθνος οὐ σῷζον. 18 Ἐθηρεύσαμεν μικροὺς ἡμῶν τοῦ μὴ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν· ἤγγικεν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν, ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμῶν, πάρεστιν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν. 19 Κοῦφοι ἐγένοντο οἱ διώκοντες ἡμᾶς ὑπὲρ ἀετοὺς οὐρανοῦ, ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων ἐξήφθησαν, ἐν ἐρήμῳ ἐνήδρευσαν ἡμᾶς. 20 Πνεῦμα προσώπου ἡμῶν χριστὸς κυρίου συνελήμφθη ἐν ταῖς διαφθοραῖς αὐτῶν, οὗ εἴπαμεν Ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ αὐτοῦ ζησόμεθα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν. 21 Χαῖρε καὶ εὐφραίνου, θύγατερ Ιδουμαίας ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐπὶ γῆς· καί γε ἐπὶ σὲ διελεύσεται τὸ ποτήριον κυρίου, καὶ μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἀποχεεῖς. 22 ἐξέλιπεν ἡ ἀνομία σου θύγατερ Σιων οὐ προσθήσει ἔτι ἀποικίσαι σε ἐπεσκέψατο ἀνομίας σου θύγατερ Εδωμ ἀπεκάλυψεν ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματά σου
1 Πῶς ἀμαυρωθήσεται χρυσίον, ἀλλοιωθήσεται τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἀγαθόν; ἐξεχύθησαν λίθοι ἅγιοι ἐπ’ ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων.
2 Υἱοὶ Σιων οἱ τίμιοι οἱ ἐπηρμένοι ἐν χρυσίῳ πῶς ἐλογίσθησαν εἰς ἀγγεῖα ὀστράκινα ἔργα χειρῶν κεραμέως;
3 Καί γε δράκοντες ἐξέδυσαν μαστούς, ἐθήλασαν σκύμνοι αὐτῶν· θυγατέρες λαοῦ μου εἰς ἀνίατον ὡς στρουθίον ἐν ἐρήμῳ.
4 Ἐκολλήθη ἡ γλῶσσα θηλάζοντος πρὸς τὸν φάρυγγα αὐτοῦ ἐν δίψει· νήπια ᾔτησαν ἄρτον, ὁ διακλῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς.

7 Ἐκαθαριώθησαν ναζιραῖοι αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ χιόνα, ἔλαμψαν ὑπὲρ γάλα, ἐπυρρώθησαν ὑπὲρ λίθους σαπφείρου τὸ ἀπόσπασμα αὐτῶν.
8 Ἐσκότασεν ὑπὲρ ἀσβόλην τὸ εἶδος αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις· ἐπάγη δέρμα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν, ἐξηράνθησαν, ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ ξύλον.

Traducerea ortodoxă
Traducerea greacă bizantină
1 O, cum s-a întunecat aurul, și cel mai curat aur și-a schimbat fața; pietrele nestemate vărsate au fost la colțul tuturor ulițelor!
1 Πῶς ἀμαυρωθήσεται χρυσίον, ἀλλοιωθήσεται τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἀγαθόν; ἐξεχύθησαν λίθοι ἅγιοι ἐπ’ ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων.
2 Feciorii Sionului, cei mai de seamă altădată, cântăriți cu aur, cum au ajuns să fie socotiți ca vasele de lut, lucru de mână de olar!
2 Υἱοὶ Σιων οἱ τίμιοι οἱ ἐπηρμένοι ἐν χρυσίῳ πῶς ἐλογίσθησαν εἰς ἀγγεῖα ὀστράκινα ἔργα χειρῶν κεραμέως;
3 Chiar și șacalii își dau sânul, ca puii lor să sugă, dar fiica poporului meu ajuns-a crudă, ca struții în pustiu.
3 Καί γε δράκοντες ἐξέδυσαν μαστούς, ἐθήλασαν σκύμνοι αὐτῶν· θυγατέρες λαοῦ μου εἰς ἀνίατον ὡς στρουθίον ἐν ἐρήμῳ.
4 Din pricina setei lipitu-s-a limba sugaciului de cerul gurii lui; copiii cer pâine, dar nimeni nu le-o întinde.
4 Ἐκολλήθη ἡ γλῶσσα θηλάζοντος πρὸς τὸν φάρυγγα αὐτοῦ ἐν δίψει· νήπια ᾔτησαν ἄρτον, ὁ διακλῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς.
5 Cei care mâncau odinioară mâncăruri alese cad de foame pe ulițe; cei care au fost crescuți în purpură stau trântiți în gunoi.
5 Οἱ ἔσθοντες τὰς τρυφὰς ἠφανίσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις, οἱ τιθηνούμενοι ἐπὶ κόκκων περιεβάλοντο κοπρίας.
6 Vina fiicei poporului meu a fost mai mare decât a Sodomei, prăbușită într-o clipă, nu de mână omenească.
6 Καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη ἀνομία θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας Σοδομων τῆς κατεστραμμένης ὥσπερ σπουδῇ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν ἐν αὐτῇ χεῖρας.
7 Căpeteniile ei erau mai strălucitoare decât zăpada, mai albe decât laptele; trupul lor era mai roșu decât mărgeanul, ca safirul era înfățișarea lor.
7 Ἐκαθαριώθησαν ναζιραῖοι αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ χιόνα, ἔλαμψαν ὑπὲρ γάλα, ἐπυρρώθησαν ὑπὲρ λίθους σαπφείρου τὸ ἀπόσπασμα αὐτῶν.
8 Chipul lor a ajuns mai negru decât funinginea, pe ulițe nu-i poți cunoaște; pielea lor s-a zbârcit pe oase, s-a uscat ca o așchie de lemn.
8 Ἐσκότασεν ὑπὲρ ἀσβόλην τὸ εἶδος αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις· ἐπάγη δέρμα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν, ἐξηράνθησαν, ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ ξύλον.
9 Mai fericiți au fost cei care au căzut de sabie, decât cei morți de foame, care se prăpădesc încet, doborâți de lipsa roadelor de pe câmp.
9 Καλοὶ ἦσαν οἱ τραυματίαι ῥομφαίας ἢ οἱ τραυματίαι λιμοῦ· ἐπορεύθησαν ἐκκεκεντημένοι ἀπὸ γενημάτων ἀγρῶν.
10 Femeile, deși miloase, au fiert cu mâinile lor copiii și i-au mâncat în vremea căderii fiicei poporului meu.
10 Χεῖρες γυναικῶν οἰκτιρμόνων ἥψησαν τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν εἰς βρῶσιν αὐταῖς ἐν τῷ συντρίμματι τῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου.
11 Sfârșit-a Domnul mânia, vărsat-a pe deplin urgia aprinderii Lui; și în Sion a aprins un foc care l-a mistuit.
11 Συνετέλεσεν κύριος θυμὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐξέχεεν θυμὸν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνῆψεν πῦρ ἐν Σιων, καὶ κατέφαγεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς.
12 Nici n-ar fi putut să creadă regii pământului și toți locuitorii lumii că vrăjmașul și apăsătorul ar putea să intre pe porțile Ierusalimului!
12 Οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν βασιλεῖς γῆς, πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην, ὅτι εἰσελεύσεται ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἐκθλίβων διὰ τῶν πυλῶν Ιερουσαλημ.
13 Dar s-a întâmplat, din pricina păcatelor profeților (mincinoși) și a fărădelegilor preoților, care au vărsat în mijlocul lui sângele celor drepți.
13 Ἐξ ἁμαρτιῶν προφητῶν αὐτῆς, ἀδικιῶν ἱερέων αὐτῆς τῶν ἐκχεόντων αἷμα δίκαιον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.
14 Pe ulițe rătăceau pătați de sânge, și nimeni nu se atingea de hainele lor.
14 Ἐσαλεύθησαν ἐγρήγοροι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις, ἐμολύνθησαν ἐν αἵματι· ἐν τῷ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἥψαντο ἐνδυμάτων αὐτῶν.
15 „Păziți-vă! Un necurat!” Striga lumea după ei. „Fugiți, la o parte, nu-i atingeți!” Și dacă mai voiesc să rătăcească undeva – se zicea printre neamuri – n-ar trebui să rămână aici!
15 Ἀπόστητε ἀκαθάρτων – καλέσατε αὐτούς – ἀπόστητε ἀπόστητε, μὴ ἅπτεσθε, ὅτι ἀνήφθησαν καί γε ἐσαλεύθησαν· εἴπατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν Οὐ μὴ προσθῶσιν τοῦ παροικεῖν.
16 Fața plină de mânie a Domnului i-a risipit pe ei. Pe preoți nimeni nu-i mai lua în seamă, de bătrâni nu se îndura.
16 Πρόσωπον κυρίου μερὶς αὐτῶν, οὐ προσθήσει ἐπιβλέψαι αὐτοῖς· πρόσωπον ἱερέων οὐκ ἔλαβον, πρεσβύτας οὐκ ἠλέησαν.
17 Și ochii noștri se sting de supărare, așteptând zadarnic un ajutor! Din turnul nostru ne-am uitat departe spre un popor al cărui ajutor nu vine.
17 Ἔτι ὄντων ἡμῶν ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν μάταια· ἀποσκοπευόντων ἡμῶν ἀπεσκοπεύσαμεν εἰς ἔθνος οὐ σῷζον.
18 Și pândeau pașii noștri ca să nu umblăm prin piețele noastre. Sfârșitul nostru se apropia, sosise!
18 Ἐθηρεύσαμεν μικροὺς ἡμῶν τοῦ μὴ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν· ἤγγικεν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν, ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμῶν, πάρεστιν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν.
19 Prigonitorii noștri erau mai iuți decât vulturii de pe cer; umblau după noi prin munți, ne pândeau în pustiu.
19 Κοῦφοι ἐγένοντο οἱ διώκοντες ἡμᾶς ὑπὲρ ἀετοὺς οὐρανοῦ, ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων ἐξήφθησαν, ἐν ἐρήμῳ ἐνήδρευσαν ἡμᾶς.
20 Suflarea vieții noastre, unsul Domnului, a fost prins în groapa lor – acela despre care noi ziceam: „La umbra lui vom viețui printre popoare”.
20 Πνεῦμα προσώπου ἡμῶν χριστὸς κυρίου συνελήμφθη ἐν ταῖς διαφθοραῖς αὐτῶν, οὗ εἴπαμεν Ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ αὐτοῦ ζησόμεθα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν.
21 Bucură-te și te veselește, fiica Edomului, tu care locuiești în pământul Uț; și la tine va veni cupa; vei bea și te vei lăsa goală.
21 Χαῖρε καὶ εὐφραίνου, θύγατερ Ιδουμαίας ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐπὶ γῆς· καί γε ἐπὶ σὲ διελεύσεται τὸ ποτήριον κυρίου, καὶ μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἀποχεεῖς.
22 Fărădelegea ta, o, fiică a Sionului, s-a sfârșit; la fel robia. Dar ție îți cercetează păcatele, o, fiică a Edomului, și dă pe față fărădelegile tale!
22 ἐξέλιπεν ἡ ἀνομία σου θύγατερ Σιων οὐ προσθήσει ἔτι ἀποικίσαι σε ἐπεσκέψατο ἀνομίας σου θύγατερ Εδωμ ἀπεκάλυψεν ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματά σου
