< Lamentations 1 >
1 How hath she sat alone, The city abounding with people! She hath been as a widow, The mighty among nations! Princes among provinces, She hath 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 tear [is] on her cheeks, There is no comforter for her out of all her lovers, All her friends dealt treacherously by her, They have been to her for 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 Removed hath Judah because of affliction, And because of the abundance of her service; She hath dwelt among nations, She hath not found rest, All her pursuers have overtaken her between 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 are mourning, Without any coming at the appointed time, All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, Her virgins are afflicted — and she hath 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 chief, Her enemies have been at ease, For Jehovah hath afflicted her, For the abundance of her transgressions, Her infants have gone captive 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 go out from the daughter of Zion doth all her honour, Her princes have been as harts — They have not found pasture, And they go powerless before a 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 Remembered hath Jerusalem [In] the days of her affliction and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an adversary, And she hath no helper; Seen her have adversaries, They have laughed at her cessation.
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 A sin hath Jerusalem sinned, Therefore impure she hath become, All who honoured her have esteemed her lightly, For they have seen her nakedness, Yea, she herself hath sighed 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 uncleanness [is] in her skirts, She hath not remembered her latter end, And she cometh down wonderfully, There is no comforter for her. See, O Jehovah, mine affliction, For exerted himself hath an enemy.
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 His hand spread out hath an adversary On all her desirable things, For she hath seen — Nations have entered her sanctuary, Concerning which Thou didst command, 'They do not come into the assembly to thee.'
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 are sighing — seeking bread, They have given their desirable things For food to refresh the body; See, O Jehovah, and behold attentively, For I have been lightly esteemed.
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 passing by the way? Look attentively, and see, If there is any pain like my pain, That He is rolling to me? Whom Jehovah hath afflicted In the day of the fierceness of His 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 above He hath sent fire into my bone, And it subdueth it, He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me backward, He hath made me desolate — all the day sick.
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 Bound hath been the yoke of my transgressions by His hand, They are wrapped together, They have gone up on my neck, He hath caused my power to stumble, The Lord hath given me into hands, I am not able to rise.
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 Trodden down all my mighty ones hath the Lord in my midst, He proclaimed against me an appointed time, To destroy my young men, A wine-press hath the Lord trodden, To 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 I am weeping, My eye, my eye, is running down with waters, For, far from me hath been a comforter, Refreshing my soul, My sons have been desolate, For mighty hath been an enemy.
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 Spread forth hath Zion her hands, There is no comforter for her, Jehovah hath charged concerning Jacob, His neighbours [are] his adversaries, Jerusalem hath become impure among them.
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 Righteous is Jehovah, For His mouth I have provoked. Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, 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, they — they have deceived me, My priests and my elders in the city have expired; When they have sought food for themselves, Then they give back their soul.
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 See, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, My bowels have been troubled, Turned hath been my heart in my midst, For I have greatly provoked, From without bereaved hath the sword, In the house [it 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 have sighed, There is no comforter for me, All my enemies have heard of my calamity, They have rejoiced that Thou hast done [it], Thou hast brought in the day Thou hast called, And they are like to 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 Come in doth all their evil before Thee, And one is doing to them as Thou hast done to me, For all my transgressions, For many [are] my sighs, and my heart [is] sick!
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。
