耶利米哀歌 1
1 以色列被虜充軍以後，耶路撒冷成了一片荒涼，耶肋米亞痛哭流淚的坐著唱了這篇哀歌，憑弔耶路撒冷，嗚咽說：怎麼! 這個人煙稠密的京都，卻孤坐獨處! 從前是萬民的主母，現在好像成了寡婦；往日是諸郡的王后，如今竟然成奴僕!
How! - she sits alone the city great of people she has become like a widow ([one] great *L(abh)*) among the nations a princess among the provinces she has become forced labor.
2 她夜間痛哭飲泣，眼淚流滿雙頰；她所有的愛人，卻沒有一個前來安慰她；她的親友都背棄了她，成了她的冤家!
Bitterly she weeps in the night and tear[s] her [are] on cheek her not [belongs] to her a comforter from all lovers her all friends her they have dealt treacherously with her they have become of her enemies.
3 猶大已經流亡遠去，備受壓迫奴役；散居在異民中間，再不得安息；她處於絕境之中，所有迫害她的人，盡來相逼!
She has gone into exile Judah from affliction and from an abundance of servitude her she dwells among the nations not she has found a resting place all pursuers her they have overtaken her between the narrow places.
4 熙雍的到街道悲慘淒涼，因無人前來過節! 她的城門零落蕭條，司祭哀嘆，處女惆悵；她已憂苦備嘗!
[the] roads of Zion [are] mourning because not [those who] come an appointed feast all gates her [are] desolate priests her [are] groaning virgins her [are] grieving and she it is bitter to her.
5 她的敵人得了優勢，仇人獲得勝利，都因她犯罪多端，而遭受了上主的懲罰；她的幼兒被擄去，在敵人面前作囚徒。
They have become opponents her a head enemies her they are at ease for Yahweh he has caused grief to her on [the] multitude of transgressions her children her they have gone captivity before an opponent.
6 一切華麗，已經都由熙雍女郎身上消失；她的首長好像找不到牧場的公羊，受追逐者驅使，無力前行。
And it has gone out (from from [the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Zion all splendor her they have become princes her like deer [which] not they have found pasture and they have gone with not strength before a pursuer.
7 耶路撒冷在困苦和患難的時日，回憶昔日享有的一切榮華；現在呢﹖當她的人民陷入敵人手中時，竟然沒有人來施救! 仇人看見了她，都嘲笑她的滅亡。
She has remembered Jerusalem [the] days of affliction her and homelessness her all precious things her which they were from days of antiquity when fell people her in [the] hand of an opponent and not a helper [belonged] to her they saw her opponents they laughed at annihilation her.
8 耶路撒冷犯罪作惡，因而成了可憎惡的；昔日尊重她的人，今日一見到她的裸體，都予以輕視；而她自己只有飲泣，轉身退去。
Sin she has sinned Jerusalem there-fore impurity she has become all [those who] honored her they despise her for they have seen nakedness her also she has groaned and she has turned away backward.
9 她的污穢沾滿了她的衣裙，她從未想到會有如此的結局，以致一落千丈，卻沒有人安慰。「上主，求你憐視我的痛苦，因為敵人正在意氣高揚。
Uncleanness her [was] on skirts her not she remembered outcome her and she has come down wonders not a comforter [belonged] to her see O Yahweh affliction my for it has magnified itself [the] enemy.
10 暴徒伸手劫掠了她所有的珍寶：你雖然嚴禁異民進入你的集會，她卻眼看著他們闖進聖所。
Hand his he has spread out [the] opponent over all precious things her for it saw nations [which] they went sanctuary its which you had commanded not they will come in the assembly of you.
11 她所有的人民都在嘆息，搜求食糧；而應交出珍寶，換取食物，以維持生活。上主，求你垂視眷顧，我怎樣受人輕慢! 」
All people its [are] groaning [are] seeking bread they have given (precious things their *Q(K)*) for food to restore life see O Yahweh and look! for I am despised.
12 一切過路的人啊! 請你們細細觀察，看看有沒有痛苦能像我所受的痛苦﹖因為上主在他盛怒之日，折磨了我!
Not to you O all [those who] pass by of [the] road look and see if there [is] pain like pain my which it has been done to me which he has caused grief Yahweh on [the] day of [the] burning of anger his.
13 他從上降下火來，深入我的骨骸；他在我腳下設下羅網，使我陷落；他使我終日孤寂，惆悵不已。
From a high place he sent fire in bones my and he mastered it he spread out a net for feet my he made turn back me backward he made me desolate all the day faint.
14 上主親手把我罪過的軛，緊縛在我的頸上，使我筋疲力竭；他將我交於我不能抵抗的人手中。
It has been bound on [the] yoke of transgressions my by hand his they are woven together they have come up on neck my he has made feeble strength my he has given me [the] Lord in [the] hands of [those whom] not I am able to stand.
15 上主拋棄了我中間的勇士，召集盛會，與我為敵，粉碎我的精銳；上主好像踐踏酒醡一樣，踐踏原是處女的猶大女郎。
He has thrown away all mighty [ones] my - [the] Lord in midst my he has proclaimed on me an appointed meeting to break young men my a winepress he has trodden [the] Lord for [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Judah.
16 我之所以痛苦，滿眼流淚，是因為鼓舞我心靈的安慰者，已經離我遠去；我的子女已經孤獨無援，而敵人卻正在得勢。
On these [things] - I [am] weeping eye my - eye my [is] going down water for he is far from me a comforter [one who] restores life my they are children my desolate for he has prevailed [the] enemy.
17 熙雍雖然伸開雙手，卻無人予以安慰；上主召喚四周的人與雅各伯為敵；耶路撒冷在人眼中，成了可憎的污穢之物。
It has spread out Zion hands its not a comforter [belongs] to it he has commanded Yahweh of Jacob [those] around him [will be] opponents his it has become Jerusalem an impure thing between them.
18 唯有上主是公義的，因為我違背了他的訓示。一切民族! 請你們聽一聽，看一看我的痛苦我的處女和壯丁，都已充軍去了。
[is] righteous He Yahweh for mouth his I have been rebellious listen please O all (the peoples *Q(K)*) and see pain my young women my and young men my they have gone in captivity.
19 我向愛人求救，但他們都捨棄了我，我的司祭和長老，雖然尋覓食糧以求活命，但他們卻在城中氣絕喪命。
I called to lovers my they they deceived me priests my and elders my in the city they perished for they sought food for themselves so they may be restored life their.
20 上主，求你憐視，因為我實在痛苦：五內恐懼，心如倒懸，因為我常背命頑抗。外邊有刀劍使我喪子，在家裏有人死亡。
See O Yahweh for distress [belongs] to me inward parts my they are in turmoil it has been overturned heart my in inner being my for extremely I have been rebellious from outside it has bereaved a sword [is] in the house like death.
21 人們都聽到我嘆息，卻沒有人安慰我；仇人聽到我遭難，無不慶幸你的所為；但是到了你所規定的日子，他們必然與我相同。
They heard that [was] groaning I not a comforter [belonged] to me all enemies my they heard distress my they rejoiced for you you have acted you have brought [the] day [which] you proclaimed and they may be like me.
22 願他們的罪惡擺在你眼前! 你怎麼為了我的各種罪惡，對待了我，也願怎樣對待他們! 因為我履次嘆息，我的心已萎靡不振。
May it come all wickedness their before you and deal severely to them just as you have dealt severely to me on all transgressions my for [are] many groaning my and heart my [is] faint.
