Lamentations 1
1 How does the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
先前滿有人民的城， 現在何竟獨坐！ 先前在列國中為大的， 現在竟如寡婦； 先前在諸省中為王后的， 現在成為進貢的。
2 She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she has none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
她夜間痛哭，淚流滿腮； 在一切所親愛的中間沒有一個安慰她的。 她的朋友都以詭詐待她， 成為她的仇敵。
3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwells among the heathen, she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
猶大因遭遇苦難， 又因多服勞苦就遷到外邦。 她住在列國中，尋不着安息； 追逼她的都在狹窄之地將她追上。
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
錫安的路徑因無人來守聖節就悲傷； 她的城門淒涼； 她的祭司歎息； 她的處女受艱難，自己也愁苦。
5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
她的敵人為首； 她的仇敵亨通； 因耶和華為她許多的罪過使她受苦； 她的孩童被敵人擄去。
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
錫安城的威榮全都失去。 她的首領像找不着草場的鹿； 在追趕的人前無力行走。
7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
耶路撒冷在困苦窘迫之時， 就追想古時一切的樂境。 她百姓落在敵人手中，無人救濟； 敵人看見，就因她的荒涼嗤笑。
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yes, she sighs, and turns backward.
耶路撒冷大大犯罪， 所以成為不潔之物； 素來尊敬她的，見她赤露就都藐視她； 她自己也歎息退後。
9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembers not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy has magnified himself.
她的污穢是在衣襟上； 她不思想自己的結局， 所以非常地敗落， 無人安慰她。 她說：耶和華啊，求你看我的苦難， 因為仇敵誇大。
10 The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things: for she has seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom you did command that they should not enter into your congregation.
敵人伸手，奪取她的美物； 她眼見外邦人進入她的聖所－ 論這外邦人，你曾吩咐不可入你的會中。
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.
她的民都歎息，尋求食物； 他們用美物換糧食，要救性命。 他們說：耶和華啊，求你觀看， 因為我甚是卑賤。
12 Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow, which is done to me, with which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
你們一切過路的人哪，這事你們不介意嗎？ 你們要觀看： 有像這臨到我的痛苦沒有－ 就是耶和華在他發烈怒的日子使我所受的苦？
13 From above 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 faint all the day.
他從高天使火進入我的骨頭， 剋制了我； 他鋪下網羅，絆我的腳， 使我轉回； 他使我終日淒涼發昏。
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up on my neck: he has made my strength to fall, the LORD has delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
我罪過的軛是他手所綁的， 猶如軛繩縛在我頸項上； 他使我的力量衰敗。 主將我交在我所不能敵擋的人手中。
15 The LORD has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the middle of me: he has called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD has trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a wine press.
主輕棄我中間的一切勇士， 招聚多人攻擊我， 要壓碎我的少年人。 主將猶大居民踹下， 像在酒醡中一樣。
16 For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
我因這些事哭泣； 我眼淚汪汪； 因為那當安慰我、救我性命的， 離我甚遠。 我的兒女孤苦， 因為仇敵得了勝。
17 Zion spreads forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
錫安舉手，無人安慰。 耶和華論雅各已經出令， 使四圍的人作他仇敵； 耶路撒冷在他們中間像不潔之物。
18 The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
耶和華是公義的！ 他這樣待我，是因我違背他的命令。 眾民哪，請聽我的話， 看我的痛苦； 我的處女和少年人都被擄去。
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
我招呼我所親愛的， 他們卻愚弄我。 我的祭司和長老正尋求食物、救性命的時候， 就在城中絕氣。
20 Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; my heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death.
耶和華啊，求你觀看， 因為我在急難中。 我心腸擾亂； 我心在我裏面翻轉， 因我大大悖逆。 在外，刀劍使人喪子； 在家，猶如死亡。
21 They have heard that I sigh: there is none 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 called, and they shall be like to me.
聽見我歎息的有人； 安慰我的卻無人！ 我的仇敵都聽見我所遭的患難； 因你做這事，他們都喜樂。 你必使你報告的日子來到， 他們就像我一樣。
22 Let all their wickedness come before you; and do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
願他們的惡行都呈在你面前； 你怎樣因我的一切罪過待我， 求你照樣待他們； 因我歎息甚多，心中發昏。
