14 Old [men] from [the] gate they have ceased young men from music their.
Para tua-tua tidak berkumpul lagi di pintu gerbang, para teruna berhenti main kecapi.
15 It has ceased [the] joy of heart our it has been changed into mourning dancing our.
Lenyaplah kegirangan hati kami, tari-tarian kami berubah menjadi perkabungan.

Karena inilah hati kami sakit, karena inilah mata kami jadi kabur:
18 On [the] mountain of Zion that [is] desolate foxes they have prowled on it.
karena bukit Sion yang tandus, di mana anjing-anjing hutan berkeliaran.
19 You O Yahweh for ever you will sit throne your [is] to a generation and a generation.
Engkau, ya TUHAN, bertakhta selama-lamanya, takhta-Mu tetap dari masa ke masa!
20 Why? to perpetuity do you forget us do you abandon? us for length of days.
Mengapa Engkau melupakan kami selama-lamanya, meninggalkan kami demikian lama?
21 Cause to return us O Yahweh - to yourself (so let us return *Q(K)*) renew days our like ancient time.
Bawalah kami kembali kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, maka kami akan kembali, baharuilah hari-hari kami seperti dahulu kala!
22 That except certainly you have rejected us you are angry towards us up to muchness.
Atau, apa Engkau sudah membuang kami sama sekali? Sangat murkakah Engkau terhadap kami?
