| 1:0 | ΚAI ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ αἰχμαλωτισθῆναι τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ ἐρημωθῆναι ἐκάθισεν Ἱερεμίας κλαίων, καὶ ἐθρήνησεν τὸν θρῆνον τοῦτον ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ εἶπεν |
| 1:1 | Ἄλεφ. Πῶς ἐκάθισεν μόνη ἡ πόλις ἡ πεπληθυμμένη λαῶν; ἐγενήθη ὡς χήρα πεπληθυμμένη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἄρχουσα ἐν χώραις ἐγενήθη εἰς φόρον. |
| 1:2 | Ἄλεφ. Κλαίουσα ἔκλαυσεν ἐν νυκτί, καὶ τὰ δάκρυα αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τῶν σιαγόνων αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρχει ὁ παρακαλῶν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἀγαπώντων αὐτὴν· πάντες οἱ φιλοῦντες αὐτὴν ἠθέτησαν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἐγένοντο αὐτή εἰς ἐχθρούς. |
| 1:3 | Γἱμελ Μετῳκίσθη Ἰουδαία ἀπὸ ταπεινώσεως αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπὸ πλήθους δουλείας αὐτῆς· ἐκάθισεν ἐν ἔθνεσιν, οὐχ εἶρεν ἀνάπαυσιν· πάντες οἱ καταδιώκοντες αὐτὴν κατέλαβον αὐτὴν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν θλιβόντων. |
| 1:4 | Δάλεθ. Ὁδοὶ Σειὼν πενθοῦσιν παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἰναι ἐρχομένους ἐν ἑορτῇ· πᾶσαι αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς ἠφανισμέναι, οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἀναστενάζουσιν, αἱ παρθένοι αὐτῆς ἀγόμεναι, καὶ αὐτὴ πικραινομένη ἐν ἑαυτῇ. |
| 1:5 | Ἥ Ἐγένοντο οἱ θλίκδοντες αὐτὴν εἰς κεφαλήν. καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῆς εὐθηνοῦσαν, ὅτι Κύριος ἐταπείνωσεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῆς· τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αίχμαλαωσίᾳ κατὰ πρόκωποι θλίβοντος. |
| 1:6 | Οὐαύ Καὶ ἐξήρθη ἐκ θυγατρὸς Σειὼν πᾶσα ἡ εὐπρέπεια αὐτῆς· ἐγένοντο οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῆς ὡς κριοὶ οὐχ είρίσκοντες νομὴν. καὶ ἐπορεύοντο ἐν οὐκ ἰσχύι κατὰ πρόσωπον διώκοντος. |
| 1:7 | Ζάιν. Ἐμνήσθη Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἡμερῶν ταπεινώσεως αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπωσμῶι αὐτῆς, πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμητὰ αὐτῆς ὅσα ἤν ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων. ἐν τῷ πεσεῖν τὸν λαὸν αὐτῆς εἰς χεῖρας θλίβοντος, καὶ οὐκ ἦι ὁ βοηθῶν αὐτῇ· ἰδόντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῆς ἐγέλασαν ἐπὶ κατοικεσίᾳ αὐτῆς. |
| 1:8 | Ἤθ. ʼΑμαρτίαν ἥμαρτεν Ἰερουσαλήμ, διὰ τοῦτο εἰς σάλον ἐγένετο· πάντες οἱ δοξάζοντες αὐτὴν ἐταπείνωσαν αὐτήν· ἴδον γὰρ τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην αὐτῆς, καί γε αὐτὴ στενάζουσα καὶ ἀπεστράφη ὀπίσω. |
| 1:9 | Τήθ. Ἀκαθαρσία αὐτῆς πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ἔσχατα αὐτῆς καὶ κατεβίβασεν ὑπέρογκα· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ παρακαλῶν αὐτήν. ἴδὲ, Κύριε, τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου, ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη ἐχθρός. |
| 1:10 | Ἰώθ. Κεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐξεπέτασεν θλίβων ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα αὐτῆς, εἶδεν γὰρ ἔθνη εἰσελθόντα εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτῆς, ἄ ἐνετείλω μὴ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτὰ εἰς ἐκκλησίαν σου. |
| 1:11 | Χάφ. Πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτῆς καταστενάζοντες, ζητοῦντες ἄρτον. ἔδωκαν τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα αὐτῆς ἐν βρώσει τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι δὲ, Κύριε, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον, ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἠτιμωμένη. |
| 1:12 | Αάμεδ. Οἱ πρὸς ὑμᾶς πάντες παραπορευόμενοι ὁδόν, ἐπιστρέψατε καὶ ἴδετε εἰ ἔστιν ἄλγος κατὰ τὸ ἄλγος μου ὅ ἐγενήθη· φθεγξάμενος ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐταπείνωσέν με Κύριος ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ργῆς θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ. |
| 1:13 | Μήμ. Ἐζ ὕψους αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλεν πῦρ, ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου κατήγαγεν αὐτό· διεπέτασεν δίκτυον τοῖς ποσίν μου, ἀπέστρεψέν με εἰς τὰ ὀπίσσω, ἔδωκέν με ἠφανισμένην, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ὀδυνωμένην. |
| 1:14 | Nούν. Ἐγρηγορήθη ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματά μου. ἐν χερσίν μου συνεπλάκησαν, ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλόν ἠσθένησεν ἡ ἰσχύς μου, ὅτι ἔδωκεν Κύριος ἐν χερσίν μου ὀδύνας, οὐ δυνήσομαι στῆναι. |
| 1:15 | Σάμχ. Ἐξῆρεν πάντας τοὺς ἰσχυρούς μου ὁ κύριος ἐκ μέσου μου, ἐκάλεσεν ἐπʼ ἐμε καιρὸν τοῦ συντρίψαι ἐκλεκτούς μου· ληνὸν ἐπάτησεν Κύριος παρθένῳ θυγατρὶ Ἰούδα, ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐγὼ κλαίω. |
| 1:16 | Ἅιν. Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατήγαγεν ὕδωρ, ὅτι ἐμακρύνθη ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ὁ παρακαλῶν με, ὁ ἐπιστρέφων ψυχήν μου· ἐγένοντο οἱ υἱοί μου ἠφανισμένοι, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη ὁ ἐχθρός. |
| 1:17 | Φή. Διεπετασεν Σειὼν χεῖρας αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ παρακαλῶν αὐτήν. ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Ἰακώβ· κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ οἱ θλίκδοντες αὐτόν, ἐγενήθη Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς ἀποκαθημένην ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶυ. |
| 1:18 | Γωδή. Δίκαιός ἐστιν Κύριος, ὅτι στόμα αὐτοῦ παρεπίκρανα. ἀκούσατε δή, πάντες οἱ λαοί, καὶ ἴδετε τὸ ἄλγος μου· παρθένοι μου καὶ νεανίσκοι μου ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ. |
| 1:19 | Κώφ. Ἐκάλεσα τοὺς ἐραστάς μου, αὐτοὶ δὲ παρελογίσαντό με· οἱ ἱερεῖς μου καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροί μου ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐξέλειπον, ὅτι ἐζήτησαν βρῶσιν αὐτοῖς ἴνα ἐπιστρέψωσιν ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον. |
| 1:20 | Ῥήχς. Ἵδε, Κύριε, ὅτι θλίμβομαι· ἡ κοιλία μου ἐταράχθη, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐστράφη ἐν ἐμοί ὅτι παραπικραίνουσα παρεπικράνθην, ἔξωθεν ἠτέκνωσεν μάχαιρα ὥσπερ θάνατος ἐν οἴκῳ. |
| 1:21 | Χσέν. Ἀκούσατε δὴ ὅτι στενάζω ἐγώ, οὐκ ἔστιυ ὁ παρακαλῶν με· πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου ἤκουσαν τὰ κακά μου καὶ ἐχάρησαν, ὅτι σὺ ἐποίησας· ἐπήγαγες ἡμέραν, ἐκάλεσας καιρόν, ἐγένοντο ὄμοιοι ἐμοί. |
| 1:22 | Θαύ. Εἰσέλθοι πᾶσα ἡ κακία αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ ἐπιφύλλισον αὐτοῖς ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν ἐπιφυλλίδα περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁμαρτημάταον μου, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ στεναγμοί μου, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου λυπεῖται. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
