Lamentations
Five poems mourning the destruction of Jerusalem
Five acrostic poems lamenting the fall of Jerusalem and the desolation of its temple in 586 BCE. Traditionally attributed to Jeremiah, the poems combine communal grief with the affirmation that the steadfast love of God is new every morning.
1
先前满有人民的城、现在何竟独坐、先前在列国中为大的、现在竟如寡妇．先前在诸省中为王后的、现在成为进贡的。
How the city sits solitary,
that was full of people!
She has become as a widow,
who was great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces
has become a slave!
2
他夜间痛哭、泪流满腮．在一切所亲爱的中间、没有一个安慰他的．他的朋友、都以诡诈待他、成为他的仇敌。
She weeps bitterly in the night.
Her tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers
she has no one to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her.
They have become her enemies.
3
犹大因遭遇苦难、又因多服劳苦、就迁到外邦．他住在列国中、寻不着安息．追逼他的都在狭窄之地将他追上。
Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction,
and because of great servitude.
She dwells among the nations.
She finds no rest.
All her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
4
锡安的路径、因无人来守圣节就悲伤．他的城门凄凉、他的祭司叹息．他的处女受艰难、自己也愁苦。
The roads to Zion mourn,
because no one comes to the solemn assembly.
All her gates are desolate.
Her priests sigh.
Her virgins are afflicted,
and she herself is in bitterness.
5
他的敌人为首．他的仇敌亨通．因耶和华为他许多的罪过、使他受苦．他的孩童被敌人掳去。
Her adversaries have become the head.
Her enemies prosper;
for Yahweh has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions.
Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
6
锡安城的威荣〈城原文作女子下同〉、全都失去．他的首领、像找不着草场的鹿、在追赶的人前、无力行走。
All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion.
Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture.
They have gone without strength before the pursuer.
7
耶路撒冷在困苦窘迫之时、就追想古时一切的乐境。他百姓落在敌人手中、无人救济．敌人看见、就因他的荒凉嗤笑。
Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries
all her pleasant things that were from the days of old;
when her people fell into the hand of the adversary,
and no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her.
They mocked at her desolations.
8
耶路撒冷大大犯罪．所以成为不洁之物．素来尊敬他的、见他赤露就都藐视他．他自己也叹息退后。
Jerusalem has grievously sinned.
Therefore she has become unclean.
All who honored her despise her,
because they have seen her nakedness.
Yes, she sighs, and turns backward.
9
他的污秽是在衣襟上．他不思想自己的结局．所以非常的败落、无人安慰他。他说、耶和华阿、求你看我的苦难、因为仇敌夸大。
Her filthiness was in her skirts.
She didn’t remember her latter end.
Therefore she has come down astoundingly.
She has no comforter.
“See, Yahweh, my affliction;
for the enemy has magnified himself.”
10
敌人伸手、夺取他的美物．他眼见外邦人进入他的圣所．论这外邦人你曾吩咐不可入你的会中。
The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things;
for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary,
concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
11
他的民都叹息、寻求食物．他们用美物换粮食、要救性命。他们说、耶和华阿、求你观看、因为我甚是卑贱。
All her people sigh.
They seek bread.
They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul.
“Look, Yahweh, and see;
for I have become despised.”
12
你们一切过路的人哪、这事你们不介意么．你们要观看、有像这临到我的痛苦没有、就是耶和华在他发烈怒的日子使我所受的苦。
“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
which is brought on me,
with which Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13
他从高天使火进入我的骨头、克制了我．他铺下网罗、绊我的脚、使我转回．他使我终日凄凉发昏。
“From on high has he sent fire into my bones,
and it prevails against them.
He has spread a net for my feet.
He has turned me back.
He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.
14
我罪过的轭、是他手所绑的、犹如轭绳缚在我颈项上．他使我的力量衰败。主将我交在我所不能敌挡的人手中。
“The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand.
They are knit together.
They have come up on my neck.
He made my strength fail.
The Lord has delivered me into their hands,
against whom I am not able to stand.
15
主轻弃我中间的一切勇士、招聚多人〈原文作大会〉攻击我、要压碎我的少年人．主将犹大居民踹下、像在酒醡中一样。
“The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men within me.
He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men.
The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a wine press.
16
我因这些事哭泣．我眼泪汪汪．因为那当安慰我、救我性命的、离我甚远．我的儿女孤苦、因为仇敌得了胜。
“For these things I weep.
My eye, my eye runs down with water,
because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me.
My children are desolate,
because the enemy has prevailed.”
17
锡安举手、无人安慰．耶和华论雅各已经出令、使四围的人作他仇敌．耶路撒冷在他们中间、像不洁之物。
Zion spreads out her hands.
There is no one to comfort her.
Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob,
that those who are around him should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
18
耶和华是公义的．他这样待我、是因我违背他的命令。众民哪、请听我的话、看我的痛苦、我的处女和少年人、都被掳去。
“Yahweh is righteous;
for I have rebelled against his commandment.
Please hear all you peoples,
and see my sorrow.
My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
19
我招呼我所亲爱的、他们却愚弄我．我的祭司和长老、正寻求食物救性命的时候、就在城中绝气。
“I called for my lovers,
but they deceived me.
My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city,
while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
20
耶和华阿、求你观看、因为我在急难中．我心肠扰乱．我心在我里面翻转．因我大大悖逆．在外刀剑使人丧子、在家犹如死亡。
“Look, Yahweh; for I am in distress.
My heart is troubled.
My heart turns over within me,
for I have grievously rebelled.
Abroad, the sword bereaves.
At home, it is like death.
21
听见我叹息的有人．安慰我的却无人．我的仇敌、都听见我所遭的患难．因你作这事他们都喜乐。你必使你报告的日子来到、他们就像我一样。
“They have heard that I sigh.
There is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble.
They are glad that you have done it.
You will bring the day that you have proclaimed,
and they will be like me.
22
愿他们的恶行、都呈在你面前．你怎样因我的一切罪过待我、求你照样待他们．因我叹息甚多、心中发昏。
“Let all their wickedness come before you.
Do to them as you have done to me for all my transgressions.
For my sighs are many,
and my heart is faint.
1
主何竟发怒、使黑云遮蔽锡安城．他将以色列的华美、从天扔在地上、在他发怒的日子、并不记念自己的脚凳。
How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger!
He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth,
and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2
主吞灭雅各一切的住处、并不顾惜、他发怒倾覆犹大民的保障、使这保障坍倒在地．他辱没这国、和其中的首领。
The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob
without pity.
He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah.
He has brought them down to the ground.
He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
3
他发烈怒、把以色列的角、全然砍断、在仇敌面前收回右手．他像火焰四围吞灭、将雅各烧毁。
He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger.
He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy.
He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire,
which devours all around.
4
他张弓、好像仇敌．他站着举起右手、如同敌人、将悦人眼目的、尽行杀戮．在锡安百姓的帐棚上、倒出他的忿怒像火一样。
He has bent his bow like an enemy.
He has stood with his right hand as an adversary.
Has killed all that were pleasant to the eye.
In the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5
主如仇敌吞灭以色列、和锡安的一切宫殿、拆毁百姓的保障、在犹大民中、加增悲伤哭号。
The Lord has become as an enemy.
He has swallowed up Israel.
He has swallowed up all her palaces.
He has destroyed his strongholds.
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
6
他强取自己的帐幕、好像是园中的窝棚、毁坏他的聚会之处、耶和华使圣节和安息日、在锡安都被忘记、又在怒气的愤恨中、藐视君王和祭司。
He has violently taken away his tabernacle,
as if it were of a garden.
He has destroyed his place of assembly.
Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion.
In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.
7
耶和华丢弃自己的祭坛、憎恶自己的圣所、将宫殿的墙垣交付仇敌。他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷、像在圣会之日一样。
The Lord has cast off his altar.
He has abhorred his sanctuary.
He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy.
They have made a noise in Yahweh’s house,
as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8
耶和华定意拆毁锡安的城墙．他拉了准绳、不将手收回、定要毁灭．他使外郭和城墙都悲哀、一同衰败。
Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has stretched out the line.
He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying;
He has made the rampart and wall lament.
They languish together.
9
锡安的门、都陷入地内．主将他的门闩毁坏、折断．他的君王和首领落在没有律法的列国中．他的先知不得见耶和华的异象。
Her gates have sunk into the ground.
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not.
Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
10
锡安城的长老坐在地上默默无声．他们扬起尘土、落在头上、腰束麻布．耶路撒冷的处女、垂头至地。
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground.
They keep silence.
They have cast up dust on their heads.
They have clothed themselves with sackcloth.
The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11
我眼中流泪、以致失明．我的心肠扰乱、肝胆涂地．都因我众民遭毁灭、又因孩童和吃奶的在城内街上发昏．
My eyes fail with tears.
My heart is troubled.
My liver is poured on the earth,
because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
12
那时、他们在城内街上发昏、好像受伤的、在母亲的怀里、将要丧命、对母亲说、谷酒在哪里呢。
They ask their mothers,
“Where is grain and wine?”
when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city,
when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
13
耶路撒冷的民哪、我可用甚么向你证明呢．我可用甚么与你相比呢．锡安的民哪、我可拿甚么和你比较、好安慰你呢．因为你的裂口大如海、谁能医治你呢。
What shall I testify to you?
What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare to you,
that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion?
For your breach is as big as the sea.
Who can heal you?
14
你的先知为你见虚假和愚昧的异象、并没有显露你的罪孽、使你被掳的归回．却为你见虚假的默示、和使你被赶出本境的缘故。
Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you.
They have not uncovered your iniquity,
to reverse your captivity,
but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.
15
凡过路的、都向你拍掌．他们向耶路撒冷城、嗤笑摇头、说、难道人所称为全美的．称为全地所喜悦的、就是这城么。
All that pass by clap their hands at you.
They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying,
“Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty,
the joy of the whole earth’?”
16
你的仇敌、都向你大大张口．他们嗤笑、又切齿、说、我们吞灭他、这真是我们所盼望的日子临到了．我们亲眼看见了。
All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you.
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have swallowed her up.
Certainly this is the day that we looked for.
We have found it.
We have seen it.”
17
耶和华成就了他所定的、应验了他古时所命定的．他倾覆了、并不顾惜、使你的仇敌向你夸耀、使你敌人的角、也被高举。
Yahweh has done that which he planned.
He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old.
He has thrown down,
and has not pitied.
He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you.
He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18
锡安民的心哀求主．锡安的城墙阿、愿你流泪如河、昼夜不息．愿你眼中的瞳人、泪流不止。
Their heart cried to the Lord.
O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let tears run down like a river day and night.
Give yourself no relief.
Don’t let the your eyes rest.
19
夜间、每逢交更的时候要起来呼喊、在主面前倾心如水．你的孩童在各市口上受饿发昏．你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告。
Arise, cry out in the night,
at the beginning of the watches!
Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord.
Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children,
who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20
耶和华阿、求你观看、见你向谁这样行．妇人岂可吃自己所生育手里所摇弄的婴孩么．祭司和先知、岂可在主的圣所中被杀戮么。
“Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus!
Should the women eat their offspring,
the children that they held and bounced on their knees?
Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21
少年人和老年人、都在街上躺卧、我的处女和壮丁、都倒在刀下．你发怒的日子、杀死他们．你杀了、并不顾惜。
“The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets.
My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword.
You have killed them in the day of your anger.
You have slaughtered, and not pitied.
22
你招聚四围惊吓我的、像在大会的日子招聚人一样．耶和华发怒的日子、无人逃脱、无人存留．我所摇弄所养育的婴孩、仇敌都杀净了。
“You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side.
There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
1
我是因耶和华忿怒的杖、遭遇困苦的人。
I am the man who has seen affliction
by the rod of his wrath.
2
他引导我、使我行在黑暗中、不行在光明里。
He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness,
and not in light.
3
他真是终日再三反手攻击我。
Surely he turns his hand against me
again and again all day long.
4
他使我的皮肉枯干．他折断〈或作压伤〉我的骨头。
He has made my flesh and my skin old.
He has broken my bones.
5
他筑垒攻击我、用苦楚〈原文作苦胆〉和艰难围困我。
He has built against me,
and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6
他使我住在幽暗之处、像死了许久的人一样。
He has made me dwell in dark places,
as those who have been long dead.
7
他用篱笆围住我、使我不能出去．他使我的铜炼沉重。
He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out.
He has made my chain heavy.
8
我哀号求救、他使我的祷告、不得上达。
Yes, when I cry, and call for help,
he shuts out my prayer.
9
他用凿过的石头、挡住我的道．他使我的路弯曲。
He has walled up my ways with cut stone.
He has made my paths crooked.
10
他向我如熊埋伏、如狮子在隐密处。
He is to me as a bear lying in wait,
as a lion in secret places.
11
他使我转离正路、将我撕碎、使我凄凉。
He has turned away my ways,
and pulled me in pieces.
He has made me desolate.
12
他张弓将我当作箭靶子。
He has bent his bow,
and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13
他把箭袋中的箭、射入我的肺腑。
He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
14
我成了众民的笑话．他们终日以我为歌曲。
I have become a derision to all my people,
and their song all day long.
15
他用苦楚充满我、使我饱用茵蔯。
He has filled me with bitterness.
He has stuffed me with wormwood.
16
他又用沙石碜断我的牙、用灰尘将我蒙蔽。
He has also broken my teeth with gravel.
He has covered me with ashes.
17
你使我远离平安．我忘记好处。
You have removed my soul far away from peace.
I forgot prosperity.
18
我就说、我的力量衰败、我在耶和华那里、毫无指望。
I said, “My strength has perished,
along with my expectation from Yahweh.”
19
耶和华阿、求你记念我如茵蔯和苦胆的困苦窘迫。
Remember my affliction and my misery,
the wormwood and the bitterness.
20
我心想念这些、就在里面忧闷。
My soul still remembers them,
and is bowed down within me.
21
我想起这事、心里就有指望。
This I recall to my mind;
therefore I have hope.
22
我们不至消灭、是出于耶和华诸般的慈爱、是因他的怜悯、不至断绝。
It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed,
because his compassion doesn’t fail.
23
每早晨这都是新的．你的诚实、极其广大。
They are new every morning.
Great is your faithfulness.
24
我心里说、耶和华是我的分．因此、我要仰望他。
“Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul.
“Therefore I will hope in him.”
25
凡等候耶和华、心里寻求他的、耶和华必施恩给他。
Yahweh is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
26
人仰望耶和华、静默等候他的救恩、这原是好的。
It is good that a man should hope
and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.
27
人在幼年负轭、这原是好的。
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28
他当独坐无言、因为这是耶和华加在他身上的。
Let him sit alone and keep silence,
because he has laid it on him.
29
他当口贴尘埃、或者有指望。
Let him put his mouth in the dust,
if it is so that there may be hope.
30
他当由人打他的腮颊．要满受凌辱。
Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him.
Let him be filled full of reproach.
31
因为主必不永远丢弃人。
For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32
主虽使人忧愁、还要照他诸般的慈爱发怜悯。
For though he causes grief,
yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
33
因他并不甘心使人受苦、使人忧愁。
For he does not afflict willingly,
nor grieve the children of men.
34
人将世上被囚的、踹〈原文作压〉在脚下、
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35
或在至高者面前屈枉人、
to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36
或在人的讼事上、颠倒是非．这都是主看不上的。
to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
37
除非主命定、谁能说成就成呢。
Who is he who says, and it comes to pass,
when the Lord doesn’t command it?
38
祸福不都出于至高者的口么。
Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
39
活人因自己的罪受罚、为何发怨言呢。
Why does a living man complain,
a man for the punishment of his sins?
40
我们当深深考察自己的行为、再归向耶和华。
Let us search and try our ways,
and turn again to Yahweh.
41
我们当诚心向天上的 神举手祷告。
Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
42
我们犯罪背逆、你并不赦免。
“We have transgressed and have rebelled.
You have not pardoned.
43
你自被怒气遮蔽、追赶我们．你施行杀戮、并不顾惜。
“You have covered us with anger and pursued us.
You have killed.
You have not pitied.
44
你以黑云遮蔽自己、以至祷告不得透入。
You have covered yourself with a cloud,
so that no prayer can pass through.
45
你使我们在万民中成为污秽和渣滓。
You have made us an off-scouring and refuse
in the middle of the peoples.
46
我们的仇敌、都向我们大大张口。
“All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
47
恐惧和陷坑、残害和毁灭、都临近我们。
Terror and the pit have come on us,
devastation and destruction.”
48
因我众民遭的毁灭、我就眼泪下流如河。
My eye runs down with streams of water,
for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49
我的眼多多流泪、总不止息、
My eye pours down
and doesn’t cease,
without any intermission,
50
直等耶和华垂顾、从天观看。
until Yahweh looks down,
and sees from heaven.
51
因我本城的众民、我的眼、使我的心伤痛。
My eye affects my soul,
because of all the daughters of my city.
52
无故与我为仇的追逼我、像追雀鸟一样。
They have chased me relentlessly like a bird,
those who are my enemies without cause.
53
他们使我的命在牢狱中断绝、并将一块石头抛在我身上。
They have cut off my life in the dungeon,
and have cast a stone on me.
54
众水流过我头．我说、我命断绝了。
Waters flowed over my head.
I said, “I am cut off.”
55
耶和华阿、我从深牢中求告你的名。
I called on your name, Yahweh,
out of the lowest dungeon.
56
你曾听见我的声音．我求你解救、你不要掩耳不听。
You heard my voice:
“Don’t hide your ear from my sighing,
and my cry.”
57
我求告你的日子、你临近我、说、不要惧怕。
You came near in the day that I called on you.
You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
58
主阿、你伸明了我的冤．你救赎了我的命。
Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul.
You have redeemed my life.
59
耶和华阿、你见了我受的委屈．求你为我伸冤。
Yahweh, you have seen my wrong.
Judge my cause.
60
他们仇恨我、谋害我、你都看见了。
You have seen all their vengeance
and all their plans against me.
61
耶和华阿、你听见他们辱骂我的话、知道他们向我所设的计、
You have heard their reproach, Yahweh,
and all their plans against me,
62
并那些起来攻击我的人、口中所说的话、以及终日向我所设的计谋。
the lips of those that rose up against me,
and their plots against me all day long.
63
求你观看、他们坐下起来、都以我为歌曲。
You see their sitting down and their rising up.
I am their song.
64
耶和华阿、你要按着他们手所作的、向他们施行报应。
You will pay them back, Yahweh,
according to the work of their hands.
65
你要使他们心里刚硬、使你的咒诅临到他们。
You will give them hardness of heart,
your curse to them.
66
你要发怒追赶他们、从耶和华的天下除灭他们。
You will pursue them in anger,
and destroy them from under the heavens of Yahweh.
1
黄金何其失光．纯金何其变色．圣所的石头倒在各市口上。
How the gold has become dim!
The most pure gold has changed!
The stones of the sanctuary are poured out
at the head of every street.
2
锡安宝贵的众子、好比精金、现在何竟算为窑匠手所作的瓦瓶。
The precious sons of Zion,
comparable to fine gold,
how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers,
the work of the hands of the potter!
3
野狗尚且把奶乳哺其子、我民的妇人倒成为残忍、好像旷野的鸵鸟一般。
Even the jackals offer their breast.
They nurse their young ones.
But the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4
吃奶孩子的舌头、因干渴贴住上膛．孩童求饼、无人擘给他们。
The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst.
The young children ask bread,
and no one breaks it for them.
5
素来吃美好食物的、现今在街上变为孤寒．素来卧朱红褥子的、现今躺卧粪堆．
Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets.
Those who were brought up in purple embrace dunghills.
6
都因我众民的罪孽、比所多玛的罪还大．所多玛虽然无人加手于他、还是转眼之间被倾覆。
For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom,
which was overthrown as in a moment.
No hands were laid on her.
7
锡安的贵胄、素来比雪纯净、比奶更白．他们的身体、比红宝玉〈或作珊瑚〉更红、像光润的蓝宝石一样。
Her nobles were purer than snow.
They were whiter than milk.
They were more ruddy in body than rubies.
Their polishing was like sapphire.
8
现在他们的面貌比煤炭更黑、以致在街上无人认识．他们的皮肤、紧贴骨头、枯干如同槁木。
Their appearance is blacker than a coal.
They are not known in the streets.
Their skin clings to their bones.
It is withered.
It has become like a stick.
9
饿死的、不如被刀杀的、因为这是缺了田间的土产、就身体衰弱、渐渐消灭。
Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger;
For these pine away, stricken through,
for lack of the fruits of the field.
10
慈悲的妇人、当我众民被毁灭的时候、亲手煮自己的儿女作为食物。
The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children.
They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11
耶和华发怒成就他所定的、倒出他的烈怒．在锡安使火𤏲起、烧毁锡安的根基。
Yahweh has accomplished his wrath.
He has poured out his fierce anger.
He has kindled a fire in Zion,
which has devoured its foundations.
12
地上的君王、和世上的居民、都不信敌人和仇敌能进耶路撒冷的城门。
The kings of the earth didn’t believe,
neither did all the inhabitants of the world,
that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
13
这都因他先知的罪恶、和祭司的罪孽．他们在城中流了义人的血。
It is because of the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,
That have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.
14
他们在街上如瞎子乱走、又被血玷污、以致人不能摸他们的衣服。
They wander as blind men in the streets.
They are polluted with blood,
So that men can’t touch their garments.
15
人向他们喊着说、不洁净的．躲开、躲开、不要挨近我．他们逃走飘流的时候、列国中有人说、他们不可仍在这里寄居。
“Go away!” they cried to them.
“Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch!
When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations,
“They can’t live here any more.”
16
耶和华发怒、将他们分散、不再眷顾他们．人不重看祭司、也不厚待长老。
Yahweh’s anger has scattered them.
He will not pay attention to them any more.
They didn’t respect the persons of the priests.
They didn’t favor the elders.
17
我们仰望人来帮助、以致眼目失明、还是枉然．我们所盼望的、竟盼望一个不能救人的国。
Our eyes still fail,
looking in vain for our help.
In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
18
仇敌追赶我们的脚步像打猎的、以致我们不敢在自己的街上行走．我们的结局临近、我们的日子满足、我们的结局来到了。
They hunt our steps,
so that we can’t go in our streets.
Our end is near.
Our days are fulfilled,
for our end has come.
19
追赶我们的、比空中的鹰更快．他们在山上追逼我们、在旷野埋伏、等候我们。
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky.
They chased us on the mountains.
They set an ambush for us in the wilderness.
20
耶和华的受膏者、好比我们鼻中的气、在他们的坑中被捉住．我们曾论到他说、我们必在他荫下、在列国中存活。
The breath of our nostrils,
the anointed of Yahweh,
was taken in their pits;
of whom we said,
under his shadow we will live among the nations.
21
住乌斯地的以东民哪、只管欢喜快乐．苦杯也必传到你那里．你必喝醉、以致露体。
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom,
that dwells in the land of Uz.
The cup will pass through to you also.
You will be drunken,
and will make yourself naked.
22
锡安的民哪、你罪孽的刑罚受足了．耶和华必不使你再被掳去。以东的民哪、他必追讨你的罪孽、显露你的罪恶。
The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion.
He will no more carry you away into captivity.
He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom.
He will uncover your sins.
1
耶和华阿、求你记念我们所遭遇的事．观看我们所受的凌辱。
Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us.
Look, and see our reproach.
2
我们的产业、归与外邦人．我们的房屋、归与外路人。
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our houses to aliens.
3
我们是无父的孤儿．我们的母亲、好像寡妇。
We are orphans and fatherless.
Our mothers are as widows.
4
我们出钱才得水喝．我们的柴是人卖给我们的。
We have drunken our water for money.
Our wood is sold to us.
5
追赶我们的、到了我们的颈项上．我们疲乏不得歇息。
Our pursuers are on our necks.
We are weary, and have no rest.
6
我们投降埃及人、和亚述人、为要得粮吃饱。
We have given our hands to the Egyptians,
and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7
我们列祖犯罪、而今不在了．我们担当他们的罪孽。
Our fathers sinned, and are no more.
We have borne their iniquities.
8
奴仆辖制我们．无人救我们脱离他们的手。
Servants rule over us.
There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
9
因为旷野的刀剑、我们冒着险、才得粮食。
We get our bread at the peril of our lives,
because of the sword of the wilderness.
10
因饥饿燥热、我们的皮肤就黑如炉。
Our skin is black like an oven,
because of the burning heat of famine.
11
敌人在锡安玷污妇人、在犹大的城邑玷污处女。
They ravished the women in Zion,
the virgins in the cities of Judah.
12
他们吊起首领的手、也不尊敬老人的面。
Princes were hanged up by their hands.
The faces of elders were not honored.
13
少年人扛磨石、孩童背木柴、都绊跌了。
The young men carry millstones.
The children stumbled under loads of wood.
14
老年人在城门口断绝、少年人不再作乐。
The elders have ceased from the gate,
and the young men from their music.
15
我们心中的快乐止息、跳舞变为悲哀。
The joy of our heart has ceased.
Our dance is turned into mourning.
16
冠冕从我们的头上落下．我们犯罪了、我们有祸了。
The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17
这些事我们心里发昏．我们的眼睛昏花。
For this our heart is faint.
For these things our eyes are dim.
18
锡安山荒凉、野狗〈或作狐狸〉行在其上。
For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate.
The foxes walk on it.
19
耶和华阿、你存到永远、你的宝座、存到万代。
You, Yahweh, remain forever.
Your throne is from generation to generation.
20
你为何永远忘记我们、为何许久离弃我们。
Why do you forget us forever,
and forsake us for so long a time?
21
耶和华阿、求你使我们向你回转、我们便得回转．求你复新我们的日子、像古时一样。
Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be turned.
Renew our days as of old.
22
你竟全然弃绝我们、向我们大发烈怒。
But you have utterly rejected us.
You are very angry against us.
