Lamentations 1

1 How is seated alone, the city that abounded with people, hath become as a widow, —She who abounded among the nations was a princess among provinces, hath come under tribute.

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 cheek, She hath none to comfort her, of all her lovers, —All her friends, have betrayed her, have become her foes.

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 Carried away captive is Judah—because of oppression, and because of great servitude, She, hath remained among the nations, hath found no place of rest, —All her pursuers, have overtaken her, between 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 to Zion, are mourning, because none come to her appointed feasts, All her gates, are desolate, her priests, are sighing, —her virgins, are grieved, and, she, it is bitter for her.

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 foes, are at ease, for, Yahweh, hath grieved her, because of the multitude of her transgressions, —Her children, have gone into captivity, 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 Thus hath gone forth from the daughter of Zion, all that adorned her, —Her princes have become like harts that have found no pasture, and have gone strengthless before the 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 Jerusalem hath remembered in the days of her humiliation and her fleeings—all her precious things, which have existed from the days of old, —Now that her people have been falling into the hand of the adversary, with none to help her, the adversaries have seen her, have mocked over her sabbath-keepings.

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 Jerusalem, hath grievously sinned, For this cause, unto exile, hath she been delivered, —All who used to honour her, have despised her, for they have descried her unseemliness, yea, she herself, hath sighed, and turned back.

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 impurity, is in her skirts, She hath not remembered her hereafter, Therefore hath she come down wonderfully, none to comfort her, —Behold, O Yahweh, my humiliation, that the foe, hath made himself great.

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, hath the adversary spread out, over all her precious things, —for she saw that, the nations, entered her sanctuary, as to whom thou didst command they should not enter—in the convocation—unto 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 precious things for food, to bring back life, —Behold, O Yahweh, and discern, that I have become worthless.

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 that pass by? Look around and see, whether there is pain like my pain, which is severely dealt out to me, —in that Yahweh, hath caused grief, in the day of the glow 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 on high, sent he fire, among my bones, and laid them prostrate, —He spread out a net for my feet, he made me turn back, he made me desolate, all the day, faint.

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 The yoke of my transgressions, hath been bound, by his hand—They have intertwined themselves, have come up on my neck, it hath paralysed my strength, —My Lord, hath delivered me, into the hands of those against whom I cannot rise up.

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 My Lord, hath flouted at all my magnates, in my midst, He hath called against me a host, to crush my young men, —A winepress, hath My Lord trodden, to the virgin, the 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 things, am, I, weeping, Mine eye, mine eye, is running down with waters, for, far from me, is any who could comfort, could bring back my life, —My sons are amazed, for strong is the foe.

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 Zion, hath spread forth, her hands, there is none to comfort her, Yahweh, hath given command, respecting Jacob, unto them who surround him—his adversaries, —Jerusalem, hath become as a removed woman, in their midst.

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 Yahweh, for, against his bidding, had I rebelled, —Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men, have gone into exile.

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 to my lovers, they, deceived me, My priests and mine elders, in the city, have breathed their last, —for they sought them food, that they might bring back their life.

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 Yahweh, that I am in distress, Mine inward parts, are in ferment, My heart is turned within me, for I have obstinately rebelled, —Without, bereaveth the sword, Within, is like 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, sighing am, I, [and am saying] —There is none to comfort me, All my foes, —having heard of my calamity—have rejoiced, because, thou, hast done it, —thou hast brought in the day thou didst proclaim, So let them become like 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 Let all their wickedness, come in, before thee, and deal thou severely with them, according as thou hast dealt severely with 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。
