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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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.'
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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, 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 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 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.
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 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!
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。
