< Lamentations 1 >

1 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!
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。
2 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.
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。
3 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 in her distress.
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。
4 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.
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。
5 Her adversaries have become the head. Her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
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。
6 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.
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。
7 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.
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。
8 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.
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。
9 Her filthiness was in her skirts. She did not remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, LORD, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.”
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。
10 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.
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。
11 All her people sigh. They seek bread. They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul. “Look, LORD, and see, for I have become despised.”
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。
12 “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 the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
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?
13 “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.
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。
14 “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.
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。
15 “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.
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。
16 “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.”
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。
17 Zion spreads out her hands. There is no one to comfort her. The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
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。
18 “The LORD 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.
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。
19 “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.
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。
20 “Look, LORD; 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.
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。
21 “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.
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。
22 “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.
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。
