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。”

Lamentations 1
New International Version
1 [a]How deserted(A) lies the city,
once so full of people!(B)
How like a widow(C) is she,
who once was great(D) among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces
has now become a slave.(E)
2 Bitterly she weeps(F) at night,
tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers(G)
there is no one to comfort her.
All her friends have betrayed(H) her;
they have become her enemies.(I)
3 After affliction and harsh labor,
Judah has gone into exile.(J)
She dwells among the nations;
she finds no resting place.(K)
All who pursue her have overtaken her(L)
in the midst of her distress.
4 The roads to Zion mourn,(M)
for no one comes to her appointed festivals.
All her gateways are desolate,(N)
her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
and she is in bitter anguish.(O)
5 Her foes have become her masters;
her enemies are at ease.
The Lord has brought her grief(P)
because of her many sins.(Q)
Her children have gone into exile,(R)
captive before the foe.(S)
6 All the splendor has departed
from Daughter Zion.(T)
Her princes are like deer
that find no pasture;
in weakness they have fled(U)
before the pursuer.
7 In the days of her affliction and wandering
Jerusalem remembers all the treasures
that were hers in days of old.
When her people fell into enemy hands,
there was no one to help her.(V)
Her enemies looked at her
and laughed(W) at her destruction.
8 Jerusalem has sinned(X) greatly
and so has become unclean.(Y)
All who honored her despise her,
for they have all seen her naked;(Z)
she herself groans(AA)
and turns away.
9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts;
she did not consider her future.(AB)
Her fall(AC) was astounding;
there was none to comfort(AD) her.
“Look, Lord, on my affliction,(AE)
for the enemy has triumphed.”
10 The enemy laid hands
on all her treasures;(AF)
she saw pagan nations
enter her sanctuary(AG)—
those you had forbidden(AH)
to enter your assembly.
11 All her people groan(AI)
as they search for bread;(AJ)
they barter their treasures for food
to keep themselves alive.
“Look, Lord, and consider,
for I am despised.”
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?(AK)
Look around and see.
Is any suffering like my suffering(AL)
that was inflicted on me,
that the Lord brought on me
in the day of his fierce anger?(AM)
13 “From on high he sent fire,
sent it down into my bones.(AN)
He spread a net(AO) for my feet
and turned me back.
He made me desolate,(AP)
faint(AQ) all the day long.
14 “My sins have been bound into a yoke[b];(AR)
by his hands they were woven together.
They have been hung on my neck,
and the Lord has sapped my strength.
He has given me into the hands(AS)
of those I cannot withstand.
15 “The Lord has rejected
all the warriors in my midst;(AT)
he has summoned an army(AU) against me
to[c] crush my young men.(AV)
In his winepress(AW) the Lord has trampled(AX)
Virgin Daughter(AY) Judah.
16 “This is why I weep
and my eyes overflow with tears.(AZ)
No one is near to comfort(BA) me,
no one to restore my spirit.
My children are destitute
because the enemy has prevailed.”(BB)
17 Zion stretches out her hands,(BC)
but there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has decreed for Jacob
that his neighbors become his foes;(BD)
Jerusalem has become
an unclean(BE) thing(BF) among them.
18 “The Lord is righteous,(BG)
yet I rebelled(BH) against his command.
Listen, all you peoples;
look on my suffering.(BI)
My young men and young women
have gone into exile.(BJ)
19 “I called to my allies(BK)
but they betrayed me.
My priests and my elders
perished(BL) in the city
while they searched for food
to keep themselves alive.
20 “See, Lord, how distressed(BM) I am!
I am in torment(BN) within,
and in my heart I am disturbed,(BO)
for I have been most rebellious.(BP)
Outside, the sword bereaves;
inside, there is only death.(BQ)
