Original text and translations

Latin text

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 lacrimæ ejus in maxillis ejus:
non est qui consoletur eam,
et omnibus caris ejus;
omnes amici ejus spreverunt eam,
et facti sunt ei inimici.

Gimel.
Migravit Judas propter afflictionem,
et multitudinem servitutis;
habitavit inter gentes,
nec invenit requiem:

Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
convertere ad Domium, Deum tuum.
