耶利米哀歌 1
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 lonely lies the city, once so full of people! She who was great among the nations has become a widow. The princess of the provinces has become a slave.
2 她夜间痛哭，泪流满腮； 在一切所亲爱的中间没有一个安慰她的。 她的朋友都以诡诈待她， 成为她的仇敌。
She weeps aloud in the night, with tears upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed 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。 她住在列国中，寻不着安息； 追逼她的都在狭窄之地将她追上。
Judah has gone into exile under affliction and harsh slavery; she dwells among the nations but finds no place to rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
4 锡安的路径因无人来守圣节就悲伤； 她的城门凄凉； 她的祭司叹息； 她的处女受艰难，自己也愁苦。
The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gates are deserted; her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she herself is bitter with anguish.
5 她的敌人为首； 她的仇敌亨通； 因耶和华为她许多的罪过使她受苦； 她的孩童被敌人掳去。
Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. For the LORD has brought her grief because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone away as captives before the enemy.
6 锡安城的威荣全都失去。 她的首领像找不着草场的鹿； 在追赶的人前无力行走。
All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; they lack the strength to flee in the face of the hunter.
7 耶路撒冷在困苦窘迫之时， 就追想古时一切的乐境。 她百姓落在敌人手中，无人救济； 敌人看见，就因她的荒凉嗤笑。
In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands she received no help. Her enemies looked upon her, laughing at her downfall.
8 耶路撒冷大大犯罪， 所以成为不洁之物； 素来尊敬她的，见她赤露就都藐视她； 她自己也叹息退后。
Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her now despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away.
9 她的污秽是在衣襟上； 她不思想自己的结局， 所以非常地败落， 无人安慰她。 她说：耶和华啊，求你看我的苦难， 因为仇敌夸大。
Her uncleanness stains her skirts; she did not consider her end. Her downfall was astounding; there was no one to comfort her. Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!
10 敌人伸手，夺取她的美物； 她眼见外邦人进入她的圣所— 论这外邦人，你曾吩咐不可入你的会中。
The adversary has seized all her treasures. For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary— those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly.
11 她的民都叹息，寻求食物； 他们用美物换粮食，要救性命。 他们说：耶和华啊，求你观看， 因为我甚是卑贱。
All her people groan as they search for bread. They have traded their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. Look, O LORD, and consider, for I have become despised.
12 你们一切过路的人哪，这事你们不介意吗？ 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 this nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see! Is there any sorrow like mine, which was inflicted on me, which the LORD made me suffer on 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。
He sent fire from on high, and it overpowered my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the 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。
My transgressions are bound into a yoke, knit together by His hand; they are draped over my neck, and the Lord has broken my strength. He has delivered me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.
15 主轻弃我中间的一切勇士， 招聚多人攻击我， 要压碎我的少年人。 主将犹大居民踹下， 像在酒榨中一样。
The Lord has rejected all the mighty men in my midst; He has summoned an army against me to crush my young warriors. Like grapes in a winepress, the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
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 eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute 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 stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed against Jacob that his neighbors become his foes. Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
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。
The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against His command. Listen, all you people; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens 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 out to my lovers, but they have betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
20 耶和华啊，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。
See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am churning within; my heart is pounding within me, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is 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； 因你做这事，他们都喜乐。 你必使你报告的日子来到， 他们就像我一样。
People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that You have caused it. May You bring the day You have announced, so that they may become 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, and deal with them as You have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is faint.
