Original text and translations

Latin text

Incipit lamentatio Ieremie 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 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:
  %omnes persecutores ejus apprehenderunt eam
  inter angustias. (Laments 1:1-3)

  Jerusalem, Jerusalem.
  Convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum.
