Original text and translations

Latin text

Incipit Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophete.

ALEPH. Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo!
Facta est quasi vidua domina gentium;
princeps provinciarum facta est sub tributo.

BETH. Plorans ploravit in nocte,
et lacrimae ejus in maxillis ejus:
non est qui consoletur eam,
et omnibus caris ejus;
omnes amici ejus spreverunt eam,
et facti sunt ei inimici. (Laments 1:1-2)

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum Tuum.
