< Lamentations 1 >
1 How doth 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 weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are 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 is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
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 ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests do 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 are become the head, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children are 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 And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are 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 remembereth 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 none did help her, the adversaries saw her, they did mock 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 hath grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth 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 remembered not her latter end; therefore is she come down wonderfully; she hath no comforter: behold, O LORD, my affliction; for the enemy hath 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 hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
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 meat to refresh the soul: see, O LORD, and behold; for I am become vile.
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 ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath 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 hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back; he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
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 are come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fail: the Lord hath 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 hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; he hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
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; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy hath 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 spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about 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: hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are 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 mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought them meat 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 Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress; my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as 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 none to comfort me; all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto 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 thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto 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。
