| 6 κατάστησον ἐ{P'} αὐτὸν ἁμαρτωλόν καὶ διάβολος στήτω ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ 7 ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέλθοι καταδεδικασμένος καὶ ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτοῦ γενέσθω εἰς ἁμαρτίαν 8 γενηθήτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὀλίγαι καὶ τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λάβοι ἕτερος 9 γενηθήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀρφανοὶ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ χήρα 10 σαλευόμενοι μεταναστήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπαιτησάτωσαν ἐκβληθήτωσαν ἐκ τῶν οἰκοπέδων αὐτῶν 11 ἐξερευνησάτω δανειστὴς πάντα ὅσα ὑπάρχει αὐτῷ διαρπασάτωσαν ἀλλότριοι τοὺς πόνους αὐτοῦ 12 μὴ ὑπαρξάτω αὐτῷ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μηδὲ γενηθήτω οἰκτίρμων τοῖς ὀρφανοῖς αὐτοῦ 13 γενηθήτω τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ εἰς ἐξολέθρευσιν ἐν γενεᾷ μιᾷ ἐξαλειφθήτω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ 14 ἀναμνησθείη ἡ ἀνομία τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐξαλειφθείη 15 γενηθήτωσαν ἔναντι κυρίου διὰ παντός καὶ ἐξολεθρευθείη ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν 16 ἀν{Q'} ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθη τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἔλεος καὶ κατεδίωξεν ἄνθρωπον πένητα καὶ πτωχὸν καὶ κατανενυγμένον τῇ καρδίᾳ τοῦ θανατῶσαι 17 καὶ ἠγάπησεν κατάραν καὶ ἥξει αὐτῷ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν εὐλογίαν καὶ μακρυνθήσεται ἀ{P'} αὐτοῦ 18 καὶ ἐνεδύσατο κατάραν ὡς ἱμάτιον καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὡς ὕδωρ εἰς τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὡσεὶ ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις αὐτοῦ 19 γενηθήτω αὐτῷ ὡς ἱμάτιον ὃ περιβάλλεται καὶ ὡσεὶ ζώνη ἣν διὰ παντὸς περιζώννυται |
6 An ill master let him have,[1] and an accuser ready at his side; 7 let him leave the court of judgement a doomed man, pleading with heaven in vain. 8 Swiftly let his days come to an end, and his office be entrusted to another;[2] 9 orphancy for the children, widowhood for the wife! 10 Driven from a ruined home, to and fro let his children wander, begging their bread, 11 while eager creditors eye his goods, and strangers divide the fruits of his toil. 12 May no friend be left to do him a kindness, none to have pity on his defenceless kin; 13 a speedy end to his race, oblivion for his name before a generation passes! 14 Still may the sin of his fathers be remembered in the Lord’s sight, his mother’s guilt remain indelible; 15 still may the Lord keep it in mind, and wipe out their memory from the earth. 16 Did he himself keep mercy in mind, 17 when he persecuted the helpless, the destitute, the grief-stricken, and marked them down for death? 18 Cursing he loved, upon him let the curse fall; for blessing he cared little, may blessing still pass him by. Let cursing wrap him about, sink like water into his inmost being, soak, like oil, into the marrow of his bones! 19 Let it be the garb he wears, cling to him like a girdle that he can never take off. |

Constitue super eum peccatorem,
et diabolus stet a dextris ejus. 7
Cum judicatur, exeat condemnatus;
et oratio ejus fiat in peccatum. 8
Fiant dies ejus pauci,
et episcopatum ejus accipiat alter. 9
Fiant filii ejus orphani,
et uxor ejus vidua. 10
Nutantes transferantur filii ejus et mendicent,
et ejiciantur de habitationibus suis. 11
Scrutetur fœnerator omnem substantiam ejus,
et diripiant alieni labores ejus. 12
Non sit illi adjutor,
nec sit qui misereatur pupillis ejus. 13
Fiant nati ejus in interitum;
in generatione una deleatur nomen ejus. 14
In memoriam redeat iniquitas patrum ejus in conspectu Domini,
et peccatum matris ejus non deleatur. 15
Fiant contra Dominum semper,
et dispereat de terra memoria eorum: 16
pro eo quod non est recordatus facere misericordiam, 17
et persecutus est hominem inopem et mendicum,
et compunctum corde, mortificare. 18
Et dilexit maledictionem, et veniet ei;
et noluit benedictionem, et elongabitur ab eo.
Et induit maledictionem sicut vestimentum;
et intravit sicut aqua in interiora ejus,
et sicut oleum in ossibus ejus. 19
Fiat ei sicut vestimentum quo operitur,
et sicut zona qua semper præcingitur. |
