Lamentations 2
1 [ALEPH-BET] How the Lord clouds in His anger the daughter of Zion, He has cast from the heavens [to] earth the beauty of Israel, And has not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger.
主何竟發怒，使黑雲遮蔽錫安城！ 他將以色列的華美從天扔在地上； 在他發怒的日子並不記念自己的腳凳。
2 The Lord has swallowed up, He has not pitied any of the pleasant places of Jacob, He has broken down in His wrath The fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He has caused to come to the earth, He defiled the kingdom and its princes.
主吞滅雅各一切的住處，並不顧惜。 他發怒傾覆猶大民的保障， 使這保障坍倒在地； 他辱沒這國和其中的首領。
3 He has cut off in the heat of anger every horn of Israel, He has turned backward His right hand From the face of the enemy, And He burns against Jacob as a flaming fire, It has devoured all around.
他發烈怒，把以色列的角全然砍斷， 在仇敵面前收回右手。 他像火焰四圍吞滅，將雅各燒毀。
4 He has bent His bow as an enemy, His right hand has stood as an adversary, And He slays all the desirable ones of the eye, In the tent of the daughter of Zion, He has poured out as fire His fury.
他張弓好像仇敵； 他站着舉起右手， 如同敵人將悅人眼目的，盡行殺戮。 在錫安百姓的帳棚上 倒出他的忿怒，像火一樣。
5 The Lord has been as an enemy, He has swallowed up Israel, He has swallowed up all her palaces, He has destroyed His fortresses, And He multiplies in the daughter of Judah Mourning and moaning.
主如仇敵吞滅以色列和錫安的一切宮殿， 拆毀百姓的保障； 在猶大民中加增悲傷哭號。
6 And He shakes as a garden His dwelling place, He has destroyed His appointed place, YHWH has forgotten in Zion the appointed time and Sabbath, And despises, in the indignation of His anger, king and priest.
他強取自己的帳幕，好像是園中的窩棚， 毀壞他的聚會之處。 耶和華使聖節和安息日在錫安都被忘記， 又在怒氣的憤恨中藐視君王和祭司。
7 The Lord has cast off His altar, He has rejected His sanctuary, He has shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of YHWH Like a day of appointment.
耶和華丟棄自己的祭壇， 憎惡自己的聖所， 將宮殿的牆垣交付仇敵。 他們在耶和華的殿中喧嚷， 像在聖會之日一樣。
8 YHWH has devised to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He has stretched out a line, He has not turned His hand from destroying, And He causes bulwark and wall to mourn, Together—they have been weak.
耶和華定意拆毀錫安的城牆； 他拉了準繩， 不將手收回，定要毀滅。 他使外郭和城牆都悲哀， 一同衰敗。
9 Sunk into the earth have her gates, He has destroyed and broken her bars, Her king and her princes [are] among the nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found vision from YHWH.
錫安的門都陷入地內； 主將她的門閂毀壞，折斷。 她的君王和首領落在沒有律法的列國中； 她的先知不得見耶和華的異象。
10 Sit on the earth—[the] elderly of Zion’s daughter keep silent, They have caused dust to go up on their head, They have girded on sackcloth, The virgins of Jerusalem have Put their head down to the earth.
錫安城的長老坐在地上默默無聲； 他們揚起塵土落在頭上，腰束麻布； 耶路撒冷的處女垂頭至地。
11 My eyes have been consumed by tears, My bowels have been troubled, My liver has been poured out to the earth, For the breach of the daughter of my people; In infant and suckling being feeble, In the broad places of the city,
我眼中流淚，以致失明； 我的心腸擾亂，肝膽塗地， 都因我眾民遭毀滅， 又因孩童和吃奶的在城內街上發昏。
12 To their mothers they say, “Where [are] grain and wine?” In their becoming feeble as a pierced one In the broad places of the city, In their soul pouring itself out into the bosom of their mothers.
那時，他們在城內街上發昏，好像受傷的， 在母親的懷裏，將要喪命； 對母親說：穀、酒在哪裏呢？
13 What do I testify [to] you, what do I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? What do I equal to you, and I comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as a sea [is] your breach, Who gives healing to you?
耶路撒冷的民哪，我可用甚麼向你證明呢？ 我可用甚麼與你相比呢？ 錫安的民哪，我可拿甚麼和你比較，好安慰你呢？ 因為你的裂口大如海， 誰能醫治你呢？
14 Your prophets have seen for you a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning your iniquity, To return your captivity, And they see for you false burdens and causes of expulsion.
你的先知為你見虛假和愚昧的異象， 並沒有顯露你的罪孽， 使你被擄的歸回； 卻為你見虛假的默示 和使你被趕出本境的緣故。
15 Everyone passing by the way clapped hands at you, They have hissed—and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?”
凡過路的都向你拍掌。 他們向耶路撒冷城嗤笑，搖頭，說： 難道人所稱為全美的， 稱為全地所喜悅的，就是這城嗎？
16 Opened against you their mouth have all your enemies, They have hissed, indeed, they gnash the teeth, They have said: “We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we looked for, We have found—we have seen.”
你的仇敵都向你大大張口； 他們嗤笑，又切齒說： 我們吞滅她。 這真是我們所盼望的日子臨到了！ 我們親眼看見了！
17 YHWH has done that which He devised, He has fulfilled His saying That He commanded from the days of old, He has broken down and has not pitied, And causes an enemy to rejoice over you, He lifted up the horn of your adversaries.
耶和華成就了他所定的， 應驗了他古時所命定的。 他傾覆了，並不顧惜， 使你的仇敵向你誇耀； 使你敵人的角也被高舉。
18 Their heart has cried to the Lord; O wall of the daughter of Zion, Cause to go down tears as a stream daily and nightly, do not give rest to yourself, Do not let the daughter of your eye stand still.
錫安民的心哀求主。 錫安的城牆啊，願你流淚如河， 晝夜不息； 願你眼中的瞳人淚流不止。
19 Arise, cry aloud in the night, At the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart as water, Before the face of the Lord, Lift up to Him your hands, for the soul of your infants, Who are feeble with hunger at the head of all out-places.
夜間，每逢交更的時候要起來呼喊， 在主面前傾心如水。 你的孩童在各市口上受餓發昏； 你要為他們的性命向主舉手禱告。
20 See, O YHWH, and look attentively, To whom You have acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth? Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and prophet?
耶和華啊，求你觀看！ 見你向誰這樣行？ 婦人豈可吃自己所生育手裏所搖弄的嬰孩嗎？ 祭司和先知豈可在主的聖所中被殺戮嗎？
21 Lain on the earth [in] out-places have young and old, My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword, You have slain in a day of Your anger, You have slaughtered—You have not pitied.
少年人和老年人都在街上躺臥； 我的處女和壯丁都倒在刀下； 你發怒的日子殺死他們。 你殺了，並不顧惜。
22 You call as [at] a day of appointment, My fears from all around, And there has not been in the day of the anger of YHWH, An escaped and remaining one, They whom I stretched out and nourished, My enemy has consumed!
你招聚四圍驚嚇我的， 像在大會的日子招聚人一樣。 耶和華發怒的日子， 無人逃脫，無人存留。 我所搖弄所養育的嬰孩， 仇敵都殺淨了。
