耶利米哀歌 2
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。
ALEPH. How has the Lord darkened in his wrath the daughter of Sion! he has cast down the glory of Israel from heaven to earth, and has not remembered his footstool.
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。
BETH. In the day of his wrath the Lord has overwhelmed [her] as in the sea, [and] not spared: he has brought down in his fury all the beautiful things of Jacob; he has brought down to the ground the strong-holds of the daughter of Juda; he has profaned her kings and her 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。
GIMEL. He has broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has turned back his right hand from the face of the enemy, and has kindled a flame in Jacob as a fire, and it has devoured all things round about.
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。
DALETH. He has bent his bow as an opposing enemy: he has strengthened his right hand as an adversary, and has destroyed all the desirable things of my eyes in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion: he has poured forth his anger as 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。
HE. The Lord is become as an enemy: he has overwhelmed Israel as in the sea, he has overwhelmed her palaces: he has destroyed her strong-holds, and has multiplied the afflicted and humbled ones to the daughter of Juda.
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。
VAU. And he has scattered his tabernacle as a vine, he has marred his feast: the Lord has forgotten the feast and the sabbath which he appointed in Sion, and in the fury of his wrath has vexed the king, and priest, and prince.
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。
ZAIN. The Lord has rejected his altar, he has cast off his sanctuary, he has broken by the hand of the enemy the wall of her palaces; they have uttered their voice in the house of the Lord as on a feast day.
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。
HETH. And he has turned to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he has stretched out the measuring line, he has not turned back his hand from afflicting [her]: therefore the bulwark mourned, and the wall was weakened with it.
9 锡安的门都陷入地内； 主将她的门闩毁坏，折断。 她的君王和首领落在没有律法的列国中； 她的先知不得见耶和华的异象。
TETH. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he has destroyed and broken to pieces her bars, [and] her king and her prince among the Gentiles: there is no law, nay, her prophets have seen no vision from the Lord.
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。
JOD. The elders of the daughter of Sion have sat upon the ground, they have kept silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloths: they have brought down to the ground the chief virgins in Jerusalem.
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。
CHAPH. Mine eyes have failed with tears, my heart is troubled, my glory is cast down to the ground, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; while the infant and suckling 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？
LAMED. They said to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? while they fainted like wounded men in the streets of the city, while their souls were poured out into their mother's bosom.
13 耶路撒冷的民哪，我可用什么向你证明呢？ 我可用什么与你相比呢？ 锡安的民哪，我可拿什么和你比较，好安慰你呢？ 因为你的裂口大如海， 谁能医治你呢？
MEM. What shall I testify to thee, or what shall I compare to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? who shall save and comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for the cup of thy destruction is enlarged: who shall heal thee?
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。
NUN. Thy prophets have seen for thee vanities and folly: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn back thy captivity; but they have seen for thee vain burdens, and worthless visions.
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，就是这城吗？
SAMECH. All that go by the way have clapped their hands at thee; they have hissed and shaken their head at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, the crown of joy of all the earth?
16 你的仇敌都向你大大张口； 他们嗤笑，又切齿说： 我们吞灭她。 这真是我们所盼望的日子临到了！ 我们亲眼看见了！
AIN. All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and said, We have swallowed her up: moreover this is the day which 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。
PHE. The Lord has done that which he purposed; he has accomplished his word, [even] the things which he commanded from the ancient days: he has thrown down, and has not spared: and he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, he has exalted the horn of him that afflicted thee.
18 锡安民的心哀求主。 锡安的城墙啊，愿你流泪如河， 昼夜不息； 愿你眼中的瞳人泪流不止。
TSADE. Their heart cried to the Lord, Ye walls of Sion, pour down tears like torrents day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eyes cease.
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。
KOPH. Arise, rejoice in the night at the beginning of thy watch: pour out thy heart as water before the face of the Lord; lift up thy hands to him for the life of thine infants, who faint for hunger at the top of all the streets.
20 耶和华啊，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吗？ 祭司和先知岂可在主的圣所中被杀戮吗？
RHECHS. Behold, O Lord, and see for whom thou has gathered thus. Shall the women eat the fruit of their womb? the cook has made a gathering: shall the infants sucking at the breasts be slain? wilt thou slay the priest and prophet 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。
CHSEN. The child and old man have lain down in the street: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity: thou hast slain [them] with the sword and with famine; in the day of thy wrath thou hast mangled [them], thou has not spared.
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。
THAU. He has called my sojourners round about to a solemn day, and there was not in the day of the wrath of the Lord any one that escaped or was left; whereas I have strengthened and multiplied all mine enemies.
