耶利米哀歌 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
哀叹锡安居民被掳
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! 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。 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。 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。 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。 6 锡安城[a]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 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 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 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 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 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。”
耶路撒冷自述艰苦
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。 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。 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抵挡的人手中。 15 主轻弃我中间的一切勇士,招聚多人[b]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 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 锡安举手,无人安慰。耶和华论雅各已经出令,使四围的人做他仇敌,耶路撒冷在他们中间像不洁之物。
申诉神的公义
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。 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。
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。 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。 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。”

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
1 Ano't nakaupong magisa ang bayan na puno ng mga tao! Siya'y naging parang isang bao, na naging dakila sa gitna ng mga bansa! Siya na naging prinsesa sa gitna ng mga lalawigan, ay naging mamumuwis!
2 Siya'y umiiyak na lubha sa gabi, at ang mga luha niya ay dumadaloy sa kaniyang mga pisngi; sa lahat ng mangingibig sa kaniya ay walang umaliw sa kaniya: ginawan siya ng kataksilan ng lahat ng kaniyang mga kaibigan; sila'y naging kaniyang mga kaaway.
3 Ang Juda ay pumasok sa pagkabihag dahil sa pagdadalamhati, at sa kabigatan ng paglilingkod; siya'y tumatahan sa gitna ng mga bansa, siya'y walang masumpungang kapahingahan; inabot siya ng lahat na manghahabol sa kaniya sa mga gipit.
4 Ang mga daan ng Sion ay nangagluluksa, sapagka't walang pumaparoon sa takdang kapulungan; lahat niyang pintuang-bayan ay giba, ang mga saserdote niya'y nangagbubuntong-hininga: ang mga dalaga niya ay nangagdadalamhati, at siya'y nasa kahapisan.
5 Ang kaniyang mga kalaban ay naging pangulo, ang kaniyang mga kaaway ay nagsiginhawa; sapagka't pinagdalamhati siya ng Panginoon dahil sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga pagsalangsang: ang kaniyang mga batang anak ay pumasok sa pagkabihag sa harap ng kalaban.
6 At nawala ang buong kamahalan ng anak na babae ng Sion: ang kaniyang mga prinsipe ay naging parang mga usa na hindi makasumpong ng pastulan, at nagsiyaong walang lakas sa harap ng manghahabol.
7 Naaalaala ng Jerusalem sa kaarawan ng kaniyang pagdadalamhati at ng kaniyang mga karalitaan ang lahat niyang naging maligayang bagay ng mga kaarawan nang una: nang mahulog ang kaniyang bayan sa kamay ng kalaban, at walang sumaklolo sa kaniya, nakita siya ng mga kalaban, tinuya nila ang kaniyang mga pagkasira.
8 Ang Jerusalem ay lubhang nagkasala; kaya't siya'y naging parang maruming bagay; lahat ng nangagparangal sa kaniya ay humahamak sa kaniya, sapagka't kanilang nakita ang kaniyang kahubaran: Oo, siya'y nagbubuntong-hininga, at tumatalikod.
9 Ang kaniyang karumihan ay nasa kaniyang mga laylayan; hindi niya naalaala ang kaniyang huling wakas; kaya't siya'y nababa ng katakataka; siya'y walang mangaaliw; masdan mo, Oh Panginoon, ang aking pagdadalamhati; sapagka't ang kaaway ay nagmalaki.
10 Iginawad ng kalaban ang kaniyang kamay sa lahat niyang maligayang bagay; sapagka't nakita niya na ang mga bansa ay pumasok sa kaniyang santuario, yaong mga inutusan mo na huwag magsipasok sa iyong kapisanan.
11 Buong bayan niya ay nagbubuntong-hininga, sila'y nagsisihanap ng tinapay; ibinigay nila ang kanilang mga maligayang bagay na kapalit ng pagkain upang paginhawahin ang kaluluwa. Iyong tingnan, Oh Panginoon, at masdan mo; sapagka't ako'y naging hamak.
12 Wala bagang anoman sa inyo, sa inyong lahat na nagsisipagdaan? Inyong masdan, at inyong tingnan kung may anomang kapanglawan na gaya ng aking kapanglawan, na nagawa sa akin, na idinalamhati sa akin ng Panginoon sa kaarawan ng kaniyang mabangis na galit.
13 Mula sa itaas ay nagsugo siya ng apoy sa aking mga buto, at mga pinananaigan; kaniyang ipinagladlad ng silo ang aking mga paa, kaniyang ibinalik ako: kaniyang ipinahamak ako at pinapanglupaypay buong araw.
14 Pamatok ng aking mga pagsalangsang ay hinigpit ng kaniyang kamay; mga nagkalakiplakip, nagsiabot sa aking leeg; kaniyang pinanglupaypay ang aking kalakasan: ibinigay ako ng Panginoon sa kanilang mga kamay, laban sa mga hindi ko matatayuan.
15 Iniuwi ng Panginoon sa wala ang lahat na aking mga makapangyarihang lalake sa gitna ko; siya'y tumawag ng isang takdang kapulungan laban sa akin upang pagwaraywarayin ang aking mga binata: niyapakan ng Panginoon na parang pisaan ng ubas ang anak na dalaga ng Juda.
16 Dahil sa mga bagay na ito ay umiiyak ako; ang mata ko, ang mata ko ay dinadaluyan ng luha; sapagka't ang mangaaliw na marapat magpaginhawa ng aking kaluluwa ay malayo sa akin: ang mga anak ko ay napahamak, sapagka't nanaig ang kaaway.
17 Iginawad ng Sion ang kaniyang mga kamay; walang umaliw sa kaniya; nagutos ang Panginoon tungkol sa Jacob, na silang nangasa palibot niya ay magiging kaniyang mga kalaban: ang Jerusalem ay parang maruming bagay sa gitna nila.
18 Ang Panginoon ay matuwid; sapagka't ako'y nanghimagsik laban sa kaniyang utos: inyong pakinggan, isinasamo ko sa inyo, ninyong lahat na bayan, at inyong masdan ang aking kapanglawan: ang aking mga dalaga at ang aking mga binata ay pumasok sa pagkabihag.
19 Aking tinawagan ang mga mangingibig sa akin, nguni't dinaya nila: nalagot ang hininga ng aking mga saserdote at ng aking mga matanda sa bayan, habang nagsisihanap sila ng pagkain upang paginhawahin ang kanilang kaluluwa.
20 Masdan mo, Oh Panginoon; sapagka't ako'y nasa kapanglawan; ang aking puso ay namamanglaw; ang aking puso ay nagugulumihanan; sapagka't ako'y lubhang nanghimagsik: sa labas ay tabak ang lumalansag, sa loob ay may parang kamatayan.
21 Nabalitaan nila na ako'y nagbubuntong-hininga; walang umaliw sa akin; Lahat ng aking mga kaaway ay nangakarinig ng aking kabagabagan; sila'y nangatuwa na iyong ginawa: iyong pararatingin ang araw na iyong itinanyag, at sila'y magiging gaya ko.
22 Magsidating nawa ang lahat nilang kasamaan sa harap mo; at gawin mo sa kanila, ang gaya ng ginawa mo sa akin dahil sa lahat kong mga pagsalangsang: sapagka't ang aking mga buntong-hininga ay marami, at ang aking puso ay nanglulupaypay.
Lamentations 1
Expanded Bible
Jerusalem Cries over Her Loss
1 How lonely sits the city [C Jerusalem],
once so full of people.
She is like a widow,
once great among the nations [Ps. 122:3].
She was like a queen ·of all the other cities [L among the provinces],
but now she is a ·slave [forced laborer; vassal].
2 She [C Jerusalem pictured as a widow] cries loudly at night,
and tears are on her cheeks.
There is no one to comfort her;
·all who loved her are gone [L among all her lovers; C referring to other nations to whom she unfaithfully turned for help].
All her friends have ·turned against [betrayed] her
and are now her enemies.
3 Judah has gone into ·captivity [exile; C to Babylon; 2 Kin. 25:8–21; 2 Chr. 36:17–21; Jer. 39:1–10; 51:12–30]
where she ·suffers [is oppressed/afflicted] ·and works hard [under slavery/harsh servitude].
She lives among other nations,
but she has found no rest.
Those who ·chased [pursued; persecuted] her caught her
·when she was in trouble [L between her distresses].
4 The roads to ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple] ·are sad [mourn],
because no one comes for the feasts [C Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles].
·No one passes through her gates [L All her gates are desolate].
Her priests groan,
her young women are ·suffering [afflicted],
and ·Jerusalem suffers terribly [L she is bitter].
5 Her foes are now her masters.
Her enemies ·enjoy the wealth they have taken [prosper].
The Lord is ·punishing [tormenting; afflicting] her
for her many ·sins [transgressions].
Her ·children [little ones] have gone away
as captives of the ·enemy [foe].
6 The ·beauty [splendor; majesty] of ·Jerusalem [L the daughter of Zion; C the location of the Temple; Ps. 48:1–3]
has gone away.
Her rulers are like deer
that cannot find ·food [L pasture].
They ·are weak [L go without strength]
·and run from the hunters [L before those who pursue/chase/persecute them].
7 Jerusalem ·is suffering and homeless.
She [L …in the days of her affliction and homelessness] remembers all the ·good [desirable; coveted] things
from the ·past [L former days].
But her people ·were defeated by the enemy [L fell to the power/hand of the foe],
and there was no one to help her.
When her ·enemies [foes] saw her,
they laughed ·to see her ruined [at her downfall].
8 Jerusalem sinned terribly,
so she has become ·unclean [or an object of mockery].
Those who honored her now ·hate [despise] her,
because they have seen her nakedness.
She groans
and turns away.
9 She made herself ·dirty [defiled] ·by her sins [L in her skirts; C Jerusalem is pictured as a defiled woman; Lev. 15:19–30]
and did not think about what would happen to her.
Her ·defeat [downfall] was surprising,
and no one could comfort her.
She says, “Lord, see how I ·suffer [am afflicted],
because the enemy has won.”
10 The ·enemy [foe] ·reached out and took [spread his hands on]
all her ·precious [desired; coveted] things.
She even saw ·foreigners [nations]
enter her ·Temple [L holy place; Ps. 74:4–8].
·The Lord had commanded foreigners [L …those you commanded]
never to enter the meeting place of ·his [L your] people.
11 All of ·Jerusalem’s [L its] people groan,
·looking for [seeking] bread.
They ·are trading [L give] their ·precious [desired; coveted] things for food
so they can stay alive.
The city says, “Look, Lord, and see.
I am ·hated [despised].”
12 Jerusalem says, “You who pass by on the road ·don’t seem to care [is it nothing to you…?; L No, to you].
Come, look at me and see:
Is there any ·pain [sorrow] like ·mine [L my pain/sorrow]?
·Is there any pain like that he has caused me […which has come upon me]?
The Lord has ·punished [afflicted; tormented] me
on the day of his great anger.
13 “He sent fire from above
that went ·down [deep] into my bones.
He ·stretched [spread] out a net for my feet
and turned me back.
He made me so ·sad and lonely [desolate]
that I am ·weak [faint; sick] all day.
14 “He ·has noticed my sins [or bound my transgressions into a yoke];
they are ·tied together [intertwined] by his hands;
they hang around my neck.
·He has turned my strength into weakness [L My strength falters].
The Lord has handed me over
to those who ·are stronger than I [L I cannot stand against].
15 “The Lord has rejected
all my mighty men ·inside my walls [L in my midst].
He ·brought an army [or proclaimed a time] against me
to ·destroy [break] my young men.
As if in a winepress, the Lord has ·crushed [trampled]
the ·capital city [L virgin daughter] of Judah [Is. 63:1–6].
16 “I cry about these things;
my eyes overflow with tears.
·There is no one near to comfort me [L A comforter is far from me],
no one who can ·give me strength again [L restore my soul].
My children are ·left sad and lonely [desolate],
because the enemy has ·won [prevailed].”
17 ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple] ·reaches [spreads] out her hands,
but there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord commanded the people of Jacob
to be surrounded by their ·enemies [foes].
Jerusalem is now unclean [1:8–9]
·like [L among] those around her.
18 Jerusalem says, “The Lord is ·right [righteous],
but I ·refused to obey him [L have rebelled against his mouth].
Listen, all you people,
and look at my ·pain [sorrow].
My young women and men
have gone into captivity [1:3].
19 “I called out to my ·friends [L lovers; 1:2],
but they ·turned against [deceived] me.
My priests and my elders
have died in the city
while ·looking for [seeking] food
to ·stay alive [revive their strength].
20 “Look at me, Lord. I am ·upset [distressed]
and ·greatly troubled [L my innards/stomach/bowels are agitated].
My heart is ·troubled [L overturned within me],
because I have been so ·stubborn [rebellious].
Out in the streets, the sword ·kills [bereaves];
inside the houses, ·death destroys [L it is like death].
21 “People have heard my groaning,
and there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble,
and they are happy you have done this to me.
Now bring that day you have announced
so that ·my enemies [L they] will be like me.
22 “·Look at all their evil [L Let all their evil come before you].
Do to them what you have done to me
because of all my ·sins [transgressions].
I groan over and over again,
and ·I am afraid [L my heart is sick/faint/weak].”

King James Version
1 How 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!
2 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O Lord, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider; for I am become vile.
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 From above 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.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
16 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
18 The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
20 Behold, O Lord; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.
21 They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
22 Let 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.
