¹哀叹锡安的遭遇

¹How 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!

²她在夜间痛哭，泪流满面。在她所有亲爱的人中，没有一个安慰她的。她所有的朋友都以诡诈待她，都成了她的仇敌。

²She 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.

³犹大受尽痛苦，饱经劳役，更遭流徙异地。她住在列国中，找不着安居之所。在困境之中，追赶她的人把她追上了。

³Removed 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.

⁴通往锡安道路悲哀，因为没有人去守节。锡安一切的城门冷落，祭司唉哼，处女忧伤，锡安也受尽痛苦。

⁴The 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.

⁵锡安的敌人成为主人；她的仇敌亨通。因为她的过犯众多，耶和华就使她受苦。她的孩童在敌人面前被掳去。

⁵Her 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.

⁶锡安（“锡安”原文作“锡安的女子”）所有的尊荣，都离开了她的居民。她的众领袖都像找不着牧场的鹿；在追赶的人面前无力逃走。

⁶And 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.

⁷耶路撒冷在困苦飘流的日子，就追念她昔日的一切珍宝。她的人民落在敌人手里的时候，没有人帮助她。敌人看见她，就讥笑她的灭亡。

⁷Remembered 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.

⁸耶路撒冷犯了大罪，因此成了不洁之物。素来尊敬她的现在都藐视她，因为看见她赤身露体；她自己也唉哼，转身退避。

⁸A 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.

⁹她的污秽沾满了衣裙；她从不思想自己的结局。所以她令人惊异地败落了；没有人安慰她。她说：“耶和华啊！求你看看我的苦难，因为仇敌显为大。”

⁹Her 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.

¹⁰敌人伸手夺取她的一切珍宝，她看着外族人闯入她的圣所：你曾禁止他们进入你的会中。

¹⁰His 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.`

¹¹她所有的人民都在唉哼，到处寻觅食物；他们为了维持生命，拿自己的珍宝去换取粮食。她说：“耶和华啊！求你垂看，求你鉴察，因为我被人藐视。”

¹¹All 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.

¹²耶路撒冷自述苦况所有过路的人啊！你们毫不在意吗？你们要细察要观看，有没有痛苦像我所受的痛苦，就是耶和华在他发烈怒的日子使我所受的痛苦。

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.

¹³他从高天降火，使火进入我的骨头里。他设置网罗绊我的脚，使我退去。他使我孤单凄凉，终日愁烦。

¹³From 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.

¹⁴我的过犯像轭一样被绑好；是他亲手缠绑的。我的过犯加在我的颈上，他使我的气力衰弱。主把我交在我不能对抗的人手中。

¹⁴Bound 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.

¹⁵主丢弃我中间的所有勇士；他招聚了一大群人来攻击我，要打碎我的青年人。主践踏犹大女儿中的处女，像践踏压酒池一样。

¹⁵Trodden 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.

¹⁶为了这些事我不住哭泣，我的眼不住流下泪水；因为那安慰我、使我重新振作的，都远离了我。我的儿女孤单凄凉，因为仇敌得胜了。

¹⁶For 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.

¹⁷锡安伸出双手，但没有人安慰她。论到雅各，耶和华已经下令，使他四围的人都与他为敌；耶路撒冷在他们中间，已经成了不洁的东西。

¹⁷Spread 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.

¹⁸　神的公义耶和华是公义的，他这样待我，是因为我违背了他的命令。万民哪！请你们听我的话！看看我的痛苦！我的少女和青年人都已经被掳去了。

¹⁸Righteous 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.

¹⁹我向我所爱的人呼求，他们却欺骗我。我的祭司和长老为了延续生命，寻找粮食的时候，就在城中气绝身亡了。

¹⁹I 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.

²⁰耶和华啊！你看，患难临到我！我的心肠激动，我的心在我里面翻转，因为我曾经非常悖逆。街上有刀剑使人丧子，屋里也有死亡。

²⁰See, 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.

²¹有人听见我的唉哼，却没有人安慰我，我所有的仇敌都听见我的灾难；你作了这事，他们就欢乐。愿你使你所宣告的日子来临那时，他们就必像我一样。

²¹They 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.

²²愿他们的一切恶行都摆在你面前，愿你对付他们，好像你因我的一切过犯对付我一样。因为我唉哼甚苦，我心里愁烦。

²²Come 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!
