< 耶利米哀歌 2 >

1 怎麼! 上主竟然發怒,使熙雍女郎暗淡無光! 將以色列的榮華由高天拋在地上! 在他震怒之日,不再想念自己的腳凳!
How! he covers with a cloud in anger his - [the] Lord [the] daughter of Zion he has thrown from heaven earth [the] splendor of Israel and not he has remembered [the] footstool of feet his in [the] day of anger his.
2 上主毫不留情地破壞了雅各伯所有的牧場;他滿含怒氣,夷平了猶大女郎的一切保壘,將她的君王及首長推倒在地,加以侮辱。
He has swallowed up [the] Lord (and not *Q(K)*) he has spared all [the] settlements of Jacob he has torn down in wrath his [the] fortifications of [the] daughter of Judah he has made [them] touch the ground he has profaned [the] kingdom and princes its.
3 他怒火炎炎,粉碎了以色列的一切勢力;在仇人前,抽回他的右手;他像吞滅四周的烈火,焚燒了雅各伯;
He has cut off (in [the] heat of *L(abh)*) anger every horn of Israel he has turned back backward right [hand] his from before [the] enemy and he has burned Jacob like a fire of flame [which] it has consumed all around.
4 他像敵人一樣,安穩地舉起自己的右手;拉開他的弓。像敵人似的屠殺了一切英俊的少年;在熙雍女郎的帳幕內,發洩了他似火的烈怒。
He has bent bow his like an enemy [he has] taken a stand right [hand] his like an opponent and he has killed all [the] delights of eye in [the] tent of [the] daughter of Zion he has poured out like fire rage his.
5 上主好像一個仇人,毀滅了以色列,毀滅了她所有的宮室,蕩平了她的一切保壘,增加猶大女郎的哀號哭泣。
He has become [the] Lord - like an enemy he has swallowed up Israel he has swallowed up all palaces its he has ruined fortifications its and he has multiplied in [the] daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 上主像破壞園圃一樣,破壞了他自己的帷幔,毀滅了自己的會幕,使人在熙雍忘卻慶節和安息日;他在烈怒下,廢棄了君王和司祭。
And he has treated violently like garden booth his he has ruined appointed place his he has caused to be forgotten Yahweh - in Zion appointed feast and sabbath and he has spurned in [the] indignation of anger his king and priest.
7 上主厭棄了自己的祭壇,嫌惡了自己的聖所;將宮殿的牆垣交在敵人手中,讓他們在上主的殿宇內,叫囂喧嚷,好像節日一樣。
He has rejected [the] Lord - altar his he has repudiated sanctuary his he has delivered up in [the] hand of an enemy [the] walls of palaces its voice people have given forth in [the] house of Yahweh like [the] day of an appointed feast.
8 上主已經決意毀壞熙雍女郎的牆垣,既展開了繩索,決不抽回自己的手,直到將它完全推翻,使城郭和保壘哀哭,一同傾覆。
He has planned Yahweh - to destroy [the] wall of [the] daughter of Zion he has stretched out a measuring-line not he has turned back hand his from swallowing up and he has caused to mourn rampart and wall together they have languished.
9 城門已陷於地中,上主已折斷她的門閂,她的君王首長,流落異鄉,再沒有法律;她的眾先知也不再獲得上主的神視。
They have sunk in the ground gates its he has destroyed and he has broken bars its king its and princes its [are] among the nations there not [is] instruction also prophets its not they have found a vision from Yahweh.
10 熙雍女郎的眾長老,坐在地上默然不語,頭上撒上灰土,腰間束著麻衣;耶路撒冷的處女都俯首至地。
They sit to the ground they are silent [the] elders of [the] daughter of Zion they have caused to rise dust on head their they have girded on sackcloth they have brought down to the ground head their [the] virgins of Jerusalem.
11 我的眼痛哭,至於失明,五內沸騰,肝腦塗地。眼見我的女兒──人民遭受摧殘,眼看著幼童乳兒昏厥在城中的街道上。
They have failed by tears eyes my they are in turmoil inward parts my it has been poured out to the ground liver my on [the] brokenness of [the] daughter of people my because faint child and suckling-child in [the] open places of a town.
12 他們對母親說:「那裏有餅有酒﹖」他們在城中的街道上,正奄奄一息,有如受傷的人,在母親的懷中,氣絕夭折!
To mothers their they say where? [are] grain and wine when faint away they like [one] fatally wounded in [the] open places of a city when pours itself out life their to [the] bosom of mothers their.
13 耶路撒冷女郎! 我可用什麼來譬喻你,拿什麼來比擬你呢﹖處女,熙雍女郎! 我可用什麼來幫助你,拿什麼來安慰你呢﹖因為你的創傷,浩大如海,又有誰能夠治愈你﹖
What? will I testify for you what? will I liken to you O daughter of Jerusalem what? will I make equal to you so I may comfort you O virgin of [the] daughter of Zion for [is] great like the sea brokenness your who? will he heal you.
14 你的眾先知有關你的神視,盡是虛幻欺詐;他們從未揭露你的罪惡,以挽回你的命運;他們關於你所提供的神諭,盡是虛幻和騙局。
Prophets your they have seen for you worthlessness and sham and not they have made known on iniquity your to turn back (captivity your *Q(k)*) and they have seen for you oracles of worthlessness and enticement.
15 所有過路的人,都向你鼓掌,向耶路撒冷女郎噓唏,且搖頭說:「難道這就是人人所說美麗無比,全世界的喜悅﹖」
They have clapped on you hands all [those who] pass by of [the] road they have hissed and they have shaken head their on [the] daughter of Jerusalem ¿ [is] this the city that people said perfect of beauty a joy to all the earth.
16 你的仇人都向你張開口,噓唏而切齒說:「我們終於吞滅了她! 這就是我們所期待的一日,我們終於得到手,終於看見了! 」
They have opened on you mouth their all enemies your they have hissed and they have gnashed a tooth they said we have swallowed up surely this [is] the day that we have waited for it we have found we have seen.
17 上主實踐了自己的計劃,完成了他昔日所宣告的斷語;實行破壞,毫無憐憫,使仇人幸災樂禍,使敵人高舉他的角。
He has done Yahweh what he purposed he has fulfilled word his which he commanded from days of antiquity he has torn down and not he has spared and he has caused to rejoice on you an enemy he has lifted up [the] horn of opponents your.
18 處女,熙雍女郎! 你應該從心裏呼號上主;白天黑夜,讓眼淚像江河般地湧流,不要歇息也不要讓你的眼睛休息。
It has cried out heart their to [the] Lord O wall of [the] daughter of Zion send down like river tear[s] by day and night may not you give rest to yourself may not it be still [the] daughter of eye your.
19 夜間每到交更時分,你該起來哀禱,像傾水似的,向上主傾訴你心;應為了你嬰兒的性命,向上主舉起你的雙手,因為他們因饑餓而昏迷街頭!
Arise - cry out (in the night *Q(K)*) to [the] head of [the] night-watches pour out like water heart your before [the] presence of [the] Lord lift up to him hands your on [the] life children your the ones enfeebled by hunger at [the] head of all [the] streets.
20 上主,請你迴目憐視! 你這樣做,究竟是對付誰呢﹖難道婦女應該吃掉自己的兒子﹖吃掉自己孕育的嬰兒﹖難道在上主的聖所裏,應該殺死司祭和先知﹖
See O Yahweh and look! to whom? have you dealt severely thus? will they eat women descendant[s] their children of health or? will he be killed in [the] sanctuary of [the] Lord priest and prophet.
21 街上遍地躺臥的,盡是孩童和老人;喪身刀下的,盡是我的處女和少年;在你震怒之日,你斬殺誅戮,毫不留情。
They have lain down to the ground streets youth and old [person] young women my and young men my they have fallen by the sword you have killed in [the] day of anger your you have slaughtered not you have spared.
22 你由四方給我召來施行恐怖的人,好像過節一樣;在上主發怒之日,無人能夠逃脫,或者幸免;我孕育撫養的,我的仇人都殺盡滅絕。
You have summoned like [the] day of an appointed feast terrors my from round about and not he was in [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh an escapee and a survivor [those] whom I had given birth and I had reared enemy my he has made an end of them.
