¹　神惩罚耶路撒冷

¹How doth the Lord cloud in His anger the daughter of Zion, He hath cast from heaven [to] earth the beauty of Israel, And hath not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger.

²主吞灭了雅各所有住处，毫不顾惜；他在忿怒中，把犹大居民的坚固城拆毁；他使国家和国中众领袖都倒在地上，受尽羞辱。

²Swallowed up hath the Lord, He hath not pitied any of the pleasant places of Jacob, He hath broken down in His wrath The fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He hath caused to come to the earth, He polluted the kingdom and its princes.

³他在烈怒中砍断以色列所有的角；他从仇敌面前，收回自己的右手。他像吞灭四周物件的火焰，在雅各中间焚烧。

³He hath cut off in the heat of anger every horn of Israel, He hath turned backward His right hand From the face of the enemy, And He burneth against Jacob as a flaming fire, It hath devoured round about.

⁴他像仇敌拉弓，他的右手已经预备好。他像敌人把一切悦人眼目的都杀灭了；他如火的忿怒倒在锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的帐棚上。

⁴He hath trodden His bow as an enemy, Stood hath His right hand as an adversary, And He slayeth all the desirable ones of the eye, In the tent of the daughter of Zion, He hath poured out as fire His fury.

⁵主好像成了仇敌；他吞灭了以色列和她所有的宫殿，毁坏了她的坚固城。他在犹大居民的中间，增添了悲哀和哭号。

⁵The Lord hath been as an enemy, He hath swallowed up Israel, He hath swallowed up all her palaces, He hath destroyed His fortresses, And He multiplieth in the daughter of Judah Mourning and moaning.

⁶他把自己的住所破坏，好像园子一样；他毁坏了属他的聚会之处。耶和华使节期和安息日都在锡安被忘记；他在他的盛怒中弃绝了君王和祭司。

⁶And He shaketh as a garden His tabernacle, He hath destroyed His appointed place, Jehovah hath forgotten in Zion the appointed time and sabbath, And despiseth, in the indignation of His anger, king and priest.

⁷主丢弃了自己的祭坛，厌弃了自己的圣所。他把宫殿的围墙，交付在仇敌的手里；他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷，好像庆祝节日一样。

⁷The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath rejected His sanctuary, He hath shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of Jehovah Like a day of appointment.

⁸耶和华定意要拆毁锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的城墙；他拉了准绳，决不停手，务要把它吞灭。他使堡垒和城墙都悲哀，一同受痛苦。

⁸Devised hath Jehovah to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He hath stretched out a line, He hath not turned His hand from destroying, And He causeth bulwark and wall to mourn, Together — they have been weak.

⁹锡安的众城门已经陷入地里；耶和华把锡安的门闩都毁坏折断了。锡安的君王和领袖都身在列国中；锡安再没有律法了；它的众先知也得不到从耶和华而来的异象。

⁹Sunk into the earth have her gates, He hath destroyed and broken her bars, Her king and her princes [are] among the nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found vision from Jehovah.

¹⁰锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的长老都坐在地上，默默无声；他们把尘灰撒在头上，腰束麻布。耶路撒冷的处女都垂头至地。

¹⁰Sit on the earth — keep silent do the elders of the daughter of Zion, They have caused dust to go up on their head, They have girded on sackcloth, Put down to the earth their head have the virgins of Jerusalem.

¹¹我的眼睛因流泪而失明，我的心肠激动，我的肝胆倾倒在地，都因我的子民（“我的子民”原文作“我子民的女子”）遭毁灭，孩童和婴儿在城里的街上昏倒。

¹¹Consumed by tears have been my eyes, Troubled have been my bowels, Poured out to the earth hath been my liver, For the breach of the daughter of my people; In infant and suckling being feeble, In the broad places of the city,

¹²他们像被刺伤的人昏倒在城里街上的时候，他们在母亲的怀里快要丧命的时候，他们就问母亲：“五谷和酒在哪里呢？”

¹²To their mothers they say, `Where [are] corn and wine?` In their becoming feeble as a pierced one In the broad places of the city, In their soul pouring itself out into the bosom of their mothers.

¹³耶路撒冷的居民哪，我怎样向你说明呢？用什么与你比较呢？锡安的居民哪，我们用什么跟你相比，好安慰你呢？你的裂口像海那样大，谁能医治你呢？

¹³What do I testify [to] thee, what do I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What do I equal to thee, and I comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as a sea [is] thy breach, Who doth give healing to thee?

¹⁴你的假先知为了你所见的异象，尽是虚谎和愚昧；他们没有显露你的罪孽，使你的命运得以挽回；他们为你所得的默示，全是虚谎，是引人走错路的。

¹⁴Thy prophets have seen for thee a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning thine iniquity, To turn back thy captivity, And they see for thee false burdens and causes of expulsion.

¹⁵所有过路的人，都拍掌嘲笑你；他们嗤笑耶路撒冷的居民，并摇头说：“被人称为最完美，为全地所喜悦的，就是这城吗？”

¹⁵Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed — and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: `Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?`

¹⁶你所有的仇敌都张开口攻击你，他们嗤笑你，又咬牙切齿，说：“我们吞灭它了！这真是我们期待的日子！我们等到了！亲眼看见了！”

¹⁶Opened against thee their mouth have all thine enemies, They have hissed, yea, they gnash the teeth, They have said: `We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we looked for, We have found — we have seen.`

¹⁷耶和华作成了他定意去作的，成就了他的话，就是他昔日所宣告的，他把你拆毁，并不怜惜，他使仇敌因胜过你而高兴，他高举你敌人的角。

¹⁷Jehovah hath done that which He devised, He hath fulfilled His saying That He commanded from the days of old, He hath broken down and hath not pitied, And causeth an enemy to rejoice over thee, He lifted up the horn of thine adversaries.

¹⁸锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的城墙啊，你要一心向主哀求；愿你的眼泪像江河般涌流，昼夜不息；愿你得不着歇息，愿你眼中的瞳人不能休息。

¹⁸Cried hath their heart unto the Lord; O wall of the daughter of Zion, Cause to go down as a stream tears daily and nightly, Give not rest to thyself, Let not the daughter of thine eye stand still.

¹⁹夜里每到交更的时分，你要起来呼喊；在主面前你要倾心如水！你的孩童在各街头上因饥饿而昏倒，你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告。

¹⁹Arise, cry aloud in the night, At the beginning of the watches. Pour out as water thy heart, Over against the face of the Lord, Lift up unto Him thy hands, for the soul of thine infants, Who are feeble with hunger at the head of all out-places.

²⁰“耶和华啊，求你观看！求你鉴察！你曾这样对待过谁呢？难道妇人应该吃掉自己所生的，就是自己所抚养的婴孩吗？难道祭司和先知应该在主的圣所里被杀害吗？”

²⁰See, O Jehovah, and look attentively, To whom Thou hast acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth? Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and prophet?

²¹少年人和老年人都在街上倒卧在地死了；我的年轻男女都倒毙于刀下；在你忿怒的日子，你杀了他们，你屠杀了他们，毫不怜惜。

²¹Lain on the earth [in] out-places have young and old, My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword, Thou hast slain in a day of Thine anger, Thou hast slaughtered — Thou hast not pitied.

²²耶路撒冷的哀祷你从四围招聚惊吓我的，好像招聚人过节的日子一样。在耶和华忿怒的日子，没有人可以逃脱，可以生存。我所抚育、所养大的，我的仇敌都灭尽了。

²²Thou dost call as [at] a day of appointment, My fears from round about, And there hath not been in the day of the anger of Jehovah, An escaped and remaining one, They whom I stretched out and nourished, My enemy hath consumed!
