Lamentations 1
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1HOW DOTH the city sit solitary, that was full of people! How is she become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
1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。
2She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; she hath none to comfort her among all her lovers; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
2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。
3Judah is gone into exile because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest; all her pursuers overtook her within the straits.
3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。
4The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
4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。
5Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies are at ease; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
5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。
6And gone is from the daughter of Zion all her splendour; her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
6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。
7Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her anguish all her treasures that she had from the days of old; now that her people fall by the hand of the adversary, and none doth help her, the adversaries have seen her, they have mocked at her desolations.
7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。
8Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore she is become as one unclean; all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness; she herself also sigheth, and turneth backward.
8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。
9Her filthiness was in her skirts, she was not mindful of her end; therefore is she come down wonderfully, she hath no comforter. 'Behold, O LORD, my affliction, for the enemy hath magnified himself.'
9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。
10The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her treasures; for she hath seen that the heathen are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom Thou didst command that they should not enter into Thy congregation.
10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。
11All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul. 'See, O LORD, and behold, how abject I am become.'
11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'Let it not come unto you, all ye that pass by! Behold, and see if there be any pain like unto my pain, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.
12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?
13From on high hath He sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them; He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me back; He hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
13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。
14The yoke of my transgressions is impressed by His hand; they are knit together, they are come up upon my neck; He hath made my strength to fail; the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
14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。
15The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; He hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men; the Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin the daughter of Judah.'
15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 I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter is far from me, even he that should refresh my soul; my children are desolate, because the enemy hath prevailed.'
16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。
17Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries; Jerusalem is among them as one unclean.
17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'The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against His word; hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my pain: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
18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。
19I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and mine elders perished in the city, while they sought them food to refresh their souls.
19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。
20Behold, O LORD, for I am in distress, mine inwards burn; my heart is turned within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is the like of death.
20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。
21They have heard that I sigh, there is none to comfort me; all mine enemies have heard of my trouble, and are glad, for Thou hast done it; Thou wilt bring the day that Thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto me.
21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。
22Let all their wickedness come before Thee; and do unto them, as Thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions; for my sighs are many and my heart is faint.'
22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。
