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 could My Lord, in his anger, enshroud in gloom, the daughter of Zion? have cast from the heavens to the earth, the beauty of Israel? and not have 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。
My Lord hath swallowed up—without pity—all the pastures of Jacob, hath laid waste—in his indignation—the strongholds of the daughter of Judah, hath brought them down to the ground, —hath profaned the kingdom, and the princes thereof.
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 hath broken off—in the glow of his anger—the whole horn of Israel, hath turned back his right hand, from the face of the foe, —and hath kindled against Jacob, a very fire of flame, devouring round about.
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 hath trodden his bow like a foe, his right hand erect as an adversary, and hath slain all them who delighted the eye, —In the home of the daughter of Zion, hath he poured out, as fire, his indignation.
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。
My Lord hath become like a foe, hath swallowed up Israel, hath swallowed up all her castles, ruined his strongholds, —and hath caused to abound, in the daughter of Judah, lamentation and mourning.
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。
Thus hath he destroyed, like a garden, his pavilion, hath laid waste his place of assembly, —Yahweh, hath caused to be forgotten, in Zion, the appointed assembly and the sabbath, and hath spurned, in the indignation of his anger, the king and the priest.
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。
My Lord hath rejected his altar, hath abhorred his sanctuary, hath delivered, into the hand of the foe, the walls of her castles, —A voice, have they uttered in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed 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。
Yahweh hath devised to lay in ruins, the wall of the daughter of Zion, he hath stretched out a line, he hath not turned back his hand from swallowing up, —Thus hath he caused to mourn—rampart and wall, together, have they languished!
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, have sunk in the earth, He hath destroyed and broken in pieces, her bars, —Her king and her princes, are among the nations, There is no instruction, Even her prophets, have found no vision, from Yahweh.
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。
Seated on the ground, in silence, are the elders of the daughter of Zion, They have lifted up dust on their head, have girded themselves with sackcloth, —Bowed down to the ground is the head, of the virgins of Jerusalem.
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。
Blinded with tears are mine eyes, In ferment is my body, Poured out to the earth is my grief, for the sore hurt of the daughter of my people, —when child and suckling are swooning, in the broadways 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？
To their mothers, they keep saying, Where are corn and wine? Swooning off, like one thrust through, in the broadways of the city, pouring out their life into the bosom of their mothers.
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？
How shall I solemnly admonish thee? What shall I liken to thee, thou daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare with thee, that I may comfort thee, thou virgin, daughter of Zion? for, great as the sea, is thy grievous injury, Who can heal thee?
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。
Thy prophets, have had visions for thee, false and foolish, and have not unveiled thine iniquity, to turn back thy captivity, —Yea they have had visions for thee, oracles of falsehood, and enticements!
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 passing by, have clapped, over thee, their hands, have hissed and wagged their head over the daughter of Jerusalem, —[saying], Is, this, the city, of which men used to say—The perfection of beauty! A joy to 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 thy foes, have opened wide, over thee their mouth, They have hissed, and gnashed their teeth, They have said—We have swallowed [her] up! Surely, this, is the day for which we have waited, We have found! We have seen!
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。
Yahweh hath done what he thought, hath carried out his word, wherewith he gave charge in the days of old, hath thrown down, and not spared, —Thus hath he let the enemy rejoice over thee, hath raised high the horn of thine 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, hath made outcry, unto My Lord, —O wall of the daughter of Zion—Let tears run down as a torrent day and night, Do not give thyself relief, Let not the weeping of thine eye 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, like waters, thy heart, right before the face of My Lord, —Lift up, above thee, the palms of thy hands, for the life of thy children, who are swooning for hunger, at the top of all the streets!
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？
See, O Yahweh, and do consider, to whom thou hast acted thus severely, —Will women, devour, their own fruit—the children they have dandled? Shall priest and prophet, be slain in the sanctuary of My Lord?
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。
Youth and elder, have lain down on the ground in the streets, My virgins and my young men, have fallen by the sword, —Thou hast slain, in the day of thine anger, Thou hast slaughtered, hast not spared!
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。
Wilt thou proclaim, like the day of an appointed meeting—My terrors round about? when there was not—in the day of the anger of Yahweh—fugitive or survivor, —Those whom I dandled and reared, my foe hath destroyed.
