耶利米哀歌 2
1 主何竟发怒，使黑云遮蔽锡安城！ 他将以色列的华美从天扔在地上； 在他发怒的日子并不记念自己的脚凳。
How Jehovah covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger. He has cast down from heaven to the earth the splendor of Israel, and hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 主吞灭雅各一切的住处，并不顾惜。 他发怒倾覆犹大民的保障， 使这保障坍倒在地； 他辱没这国和其中的首领。
Jehovah has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground; he has humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.
3 他发烈怒，把以色列的角全然砍断， 在仇敌面前收回右手。 他像火焰四围吞灭，将雅各烧毁。
He has cut off in fierce anger all the strength of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the enemy. He has blazed in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
4 他张弓好像仇敌； 他站着举起右手， 如同敌人将悦人眼目的，尽行杀戮。 在锡安百姓的帐棚上 倒出他的忿怒，像火一样。
He has bent his bow like an enemy; his right hand he has positioned like an adversary. He killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 主如仇敌吞灭以色列和锡安的一切宫殿， 拆毁百姓的保障； 在犹大民中加增悲伤哭号。
Jehovah has become as an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel; he has swallowed up all her palaces and has destroyed its strongholds. He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 他强取自己的帐幕，好像是园中的窝棚， 毁坏他的聚会之处。 耶和华使圣节和安息日在锡安都被忘记， 又在怒气的愤恨中藐视君王和祭司。
He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. Jehovah has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.
7 耶和华丢弃自己的祭坛， 憎恶自己的圣所， 将宫殿的墙垣交付仇敌。 他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷， 像在圣会之日一样。
Jehovah has rejected his altar, he has disowned his sanctuary, and has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces. They have made a shout in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 耶和华定意拆毁锡安的城墙； 他拉了准绳， 不将手收回，定要毁灭。 他使外郭和城墙都悲哀， 一同衰败。
Jehovah has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
9 锡安的门都陷入地内； 主将她的门闩毁坏，折断。 她的君王和首领落在没有律法的列国中； 她的先知不得见耶和华的异象。
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.
10 锡安城的长老坐在地上默默无声； 他们扬起尘土落在头上，腰束麻布； 耶路撒冷的处女垂头至地。
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have cast up dust on their heads; they have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 我眼中流泪，以致失明； 我的心肠扰乱，肝胆涂地， 都因我众民遭毁灭， 又因孩童和吃奶的在城内街上发昏。
My eyes are worn out from weeping, my stomach is churning. My heart is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 那时，他们在城内街上发昏，好像受伤的， 在母亲的怀里，将要丧命； 对母亲说：谷、酒在哪里呢？
They tell their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" When they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in their mothers' bosom.
13 耶路撒冷的民哪，我可用什么向你证明呢？ 我可用什么与你相比呢？ 锡安的民哪，我可拿什么和你比较，好安慰你呢？ 因为你的裂口大如海， 谁能医治你呢？
What shall I testify of you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is great like the sea. Who can heal you?
14 你的先知为你见虚假和愚昧的异象， 并没有显露你的罪孽， 使你被掳的归回； 却为你见虚假的默示 和使你被赶出本境的缘故。
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false and misleading oracles.
15 凡过路的都向你拍掌。 他们向耶路撒冷城嗤笑，摇头，说： 难道人所称为全美的， 称为全地所喜悦的，就是这城吗？
All that pass by clap their hands at you, they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, "Is this the city that men called 'The perfection of beauty,' 'The joy of the whole earth'?"
16 你的仇敌都向你大大张口； 他们嗤笑，又切齿说： 我们吞灭她。 这真是我们所盼望的日子临到了！ 我们亲眼看见了！
All your enemies have opened wide their mouth against you. They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, "We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it."
17 耶和华成就了他所定的， 应验了他古时所命定的。 他倾覆了，并不顾惜， 使你的仇敌向你夸耀； 使你敌人的角也被高举。
Jehovah has done that which he purposed, he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to gloat over you and exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 锡安民的心哀求主。 锡安的城墙啊，愿你流泪如河， 昼夜不息； 愿你眼中的瞳人泪流不止。
Their heart cried to Jehovah. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no respite; do not let your tears cease.
19 夜间，每逢交更的时候要起来呼喊， 在主面前倾心如水。 你的孩童在各市口上受饿发昏； 你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告。
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of Jehovah. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 耶和华啊，求你观看！ 见你向谁这样行？ 妇人岂可吃自己所生育手里所摇弄的婴孩吗？ 祭司和先知岂可在主的圣所中被杀戮吗？
Look, Jehovah, and see to whom you have done like this. Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of Jehovah?
21 少年人和老年人都在街上躺卧； 我的处女和壮丁都倒在刀下； 你发怒的日子杀死他们。 你杀了，并不顾惜。
The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, without pity.
22 你招聚四围惊吓我的， 像在大会的日子招聚人一样。 耶和华发怒的日子， 无人逃脱，无人存留。 我所摇弄所养育的婴孩， 仇敌都杀净了。
You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was none that escaped or remained in the day of Jehovah's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
