Original text and translations

Latin text

Daleth.
  Viæ Sion lugent,
  eo quod non sint
  qui veniant ad solemnitatem:
  omnes portæ ejus destructæ,
  sacerdotes ejus gementes;
  virgines ejus squalidæ,
  et ipsa oppressa amaritudine. (Laments 1:4)

  He.
  Facti sunt hostes ejus in capite;
  inimici ejus locupletati sunt:
  quia Dominus locutus est super eam
  propter multitudinem iniquitatum ejus.
  Parvuli ejus ducti sunt
  in captivitatem ante faciem tribulantis. (Laments 1:5)

  Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
  Convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum.
