예레미야애가 2
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
주께서 예루살렘을 멸망시키셨다
2 주께서 노여움을 터뜨리시어
진노의 먹구름으로 딸 시온을 덮으시고
이스라엘의 영광을
하늘 높은 곳에서 땅으로 내동댕이치셨구나.
주께서 노여움을 터뜨리시던 날에
당신의 발판을 기억치 않으셨구나.
2 주께서 조금도 사정을 봐주지 않고
야곱의 보금자리를 모조리 삼키셨다.
화가 나신 주께서
딸 유다의 성채를 무너뜨리시고
왕국과 그 고관들을 땅으로 끌어내려 욕보이셨다.
3 주께서 타오르는 진노로 이스라엘의 뿔을 모두 꺾으시고
원수들이 다가오자 오른 손을 거두어 들이셨다[a].
둘레의 모든 것을 삼키는 불길처럼
야곱을 몽땅 불사르셨다.
4 주께서 마치 우리의 원수나 되시는 듯
오른 손으로 활시위를 당기셨다.
가장 소중한 사람들을 적군인양 모조리 죽이셨구나.
딸 시온의 장막 위에 당신의 불같은 분노를 쏟아 부으셨구나.
5 주께서 이스라엘의 원수처럼 되시어
이스라엘을 몽땅 삼키셨다.
이스라엘의 모든 궁궐을 삼키시고
성채들을 모두 무너뜨리셨다.
주께서 딸 유다에게 더 많은 울음과 신음을 안겨 주셨다.
6 주께서 당신의 성막을 한 낱 뜰의 정자처럼 부수시고
당신의 회막도 그렇게 허물어 버리셨다.
시온에게 명절도 안식일도 잊게 하셨다.
불같이 화가 나셔서 왕도 제사장도 모두 내쫓으셨다.
7 주께서 당신의 제단을 내치시고
당신의 성소를 버리셨다.
예루살렘 궁전들의 담들을 원수의 손에 넘기시니
마치 축제날처럼 원수들이 주님의 집에서 환성을 지른다.
8 주께서 딸 시온의 성벽을 헐기로 작정하시고
다림줄을 내리시고
성벽을 다 헐기까지 손을 떼지 않으셨다.
주께서 망대와 성벽을 슬픔에 젖게 하시니
그것들이 조금씩 무너져 내리게 되었다.
9 그녀의 성문들이 땅 속으로 주저앉아 버렸다.
주께서 빗장들을 꺾고 부수셨다.
그녀의 왕과 고관들이 뭇 나라로 끌려가고
법은 어디에서도 찾아 볼 길 없으며
그녀의 예언자들도 주님에게서 환상을 받지 못한다.
10 딸 시온의 장로들은 말없이 땅바닥에 주저앉아
머리엔 흙먼지를 뒤집어쓰고
허리엔 거친 마포를 둘렀다.
예루살렘의 처녀들은 땅으로 머리를 떨군다.
11 내 백성이 망하여 나의 눈은 눈물로 상하고
창자는 들끓으며
심장은 땅바닥으로 쏟아져 내린다.
아이들과 젖먹이들이 성 안 길거리에 기운 없이 쓰러져서
12 어미에게 묻는다.
“먹을 것과 마실 것은 어디 있나요?”
성 안 길거리에서
상처 입은 사람들처럼 기운 없이 쓰러져가는 아이들이
어미의 팔에 안겨 숨이 넘어간다.
13 딸 예루살렘아
내가 너를 위해 무슨 말을 할 수 있으랴?
내가 너를 무엇에 견주랴?
오, 처녀 딸 시온아
내가 너를 무엇에 견주어 위로하리오?
네 상처가 바다처럼 깊으니 누가 너를 고쳐주리오?
14 네 예언자들의 환상은 온통 거짓이요 하찮은 것들.
그들은 네 죄를 드러내 보여주어
너희가 사로잡혀 갈 것을 막아주지 않았다.
그들이 너희에게 전한 예언은 온통 거짓이요
너희를 곁길로 잘못 이끄는 것들뿐.
15 네 길을 지나는 사람들이 너를 보고 손뼉을 친다.
그들이 딸 예루살렘을 보고 머리를 절레절레 흔들며 비웃는다.
“이것이
‘아름다움의 극치’
‘온 땅의 기쁨’이라 일컬어지던 바로 그 도성이란 말이냐?”
16 네 모든 원수들이 있는 대로 입을 벌려 너를 욕한다.
그들은 코웃음 치고 이를 갈며 말한다.
“우리가 그를 삼켜 버렸다.
이날이 우리가 기다려온 날
꼭 보고 싶어 하던 바로 그 날이다.”
17 주께서 계획하신 일을 이루시고
오래 전에 선포하신 심판의 말씀을 다 이루셨다.
그분은 사정없이 너를 무너뜨리시고
네 원수가 너를 이기고 즐거워하게 하시며
네 적의 뿔[b]을 한껏 높여 주셨다.
18 백성의 심장이 주께 부르짖는다.
딸 시온의 성벽아
밤낮으로 눈물을 강물처럼 흘려라.
쉬지 말고 울부짖어라.
네 눈에서 눈물이 마르게 하지 말아라.
19 온 밤 내내
파수꾼이 번갈아들 때마다 일어나 울부짖어라.
주님 앞에 네 심장을 물처럼 쏟아 놓아라.
거리 어귀어귀에서 배고파 쓰러져가는 네 아이들을 살려 달라고
주님께 두 손을 들어 빌어라.
20 (예루살렘이 말한다.)
“주님, 보아 주십시오.
그리고 생각해 보십시오.
주께서 누구를 이렇듯 심하게 다루신 적이 있으십니까?
여인들이 제 손으로 기른 자식들을 잡아먹어야 하겠습니까?
제사장과 예언자들이 주의 성소에서 죽임을 당해야겠습니까?
21 젊은이와 늙은이가 함께 길거리 땅바닥에 누었습니다.
나의 처녀 총각들이 칼에 맞아 쓰러졌습니다.
당신께서 진노하시는 날에
당신께서 그들을 죽이시고
사정없이 그들을 무더기로 치셨습니다.
22 주께서는 내가 두려워하는 것을
마치 축제에 사람들을 부르시듯
사방에서 불러들이셨습니다.
주께서 진노하시는 날
달아나거나 살아남은 자가 하나도 없었습니다.
고이고이 기른 내 아이들을 나의 원수가 죽였습니다.”
Lamentations 2
King James Version
Lamentations 2
King James Version
2 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.
22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

Revised Geneva Translation
2 How the LORD has darkened the daughter of Zion in His wrath, has cast down the beauty of Israel from Heaven to the Earth, and not remembered His footstool on the day of His wrath!
2 The LORD has destroyed all the habitations of Jacob, and not spared. He has thrown down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah in His wrath. He has cast them down to the ground. He has polluted the kingdom and its princes.
3 In His fierce wrath He has cut off all the horn of Israel. He has drawn back His right Hand from before the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flame of fire, which devours all around.
4 He has bent His bow like an enemy. His right Hand was stretched up, as an adversary, and killed all that was pleasant to the eye in the Tabernacle of the daughter of Zion. He poured out His wrath like fire.
5 The LORD was like an enemy. He has devoured Israel, consumed all its palaces. He has destroyed its strongholds and has increased lamentation and mourning in the daughter of Judah.
6 For He has destroyed His Tabernacle. Like a garden, He has destroyed His Congregation. The LORD has caused the Feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and has spurned, in the indignation of His wrath, the king and the priest.
7 The LORD has forsaken His Altar. He has abhorred His Sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the House of the LORD, as on the day of a solemn Feast.
8 The LORD has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He stretched out a line. He has not withdrawn His Hand from destroying. Therefore, He caused the rampart and the wall to lament. They were destroyed together.
9 Her gates have sunk to the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the Gentiles. The Law is no more, nor can her Prophets receive vision from the LORD.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground and keep silent. They have thrown dust upon their heads. They have girded themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 My eyes fail with tears. My bowels swell. My liver is poured upon the earth for the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and infants swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They have said to their mothers, “Where is bread and drink?” when they swooned like the wounded in the streets of the city, when they gave up the ghost in their mother’s bosom.
13 How shall I witness to you? To what thing shall I compare you, O daughter Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, so that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter Zion? For your breach is great, like the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Your prophets have seen empty and foolish things for you. And they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn away your captivity, but have seen false prophecies for you, and causes of banishment.
15 All who pass by the way, clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head upon the daughter Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that is called, ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole Earth?’”
16 All your enemies have opened their mouth against you. They hiss and gnash the teeth, saying, “Let us devour it! Certainly, this is the day that we looked for! We have found and seen it!”
17 The LORD has done that which He had purposed. He has fulfilled His Word that He had determined from days of old. He has thrown down, and not spared. He has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, and set up the horn of your adversaries.
18 Their heart cried to the LORD, “O wall of the daughter Zion! Let tears run down like a river, day and night! Take no rest for yourself or let the apple of your eye cease!
19 “Arise! Cry in the night! In the beginning of the watches, pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD. Lift up your hands toward Him for the life of your young children who faint for hunger in the corners of all the streets.”
20 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom You have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, nursing children? Shall the Priest and the Prophet be killed in the Sanctuary of the LORD?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them on the day of Your wrath. You have killed, and not spared.
22 You have called my terrors, all around, as on a Feast Day; so that on the day of the LORD’s wrath, no one escaped or remained. Those whom I have nourished and brought up my enemy has consumed.

2 [a]How the Lord has covered Daughter Zion

He has hurled down the splendor of Israel
from heaven to earth;
he has not remembered his footstool(B)
in the day of his anger.(C)
2 Without pity(D) the Lord has swallowed(E) up
all the dwellings of Jacob;
in his wrath he has torn down
the strongholds(F) of Daughter Judah.
He has brought her kingdom and its princes
down to the ground(G) in dishonor.
3 In fierce anger he has cut off
every horn[c][d](H) of Israel.
He has withdrawn his right hand(I)
at the approach of the enemy.
He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire
that consumes everything around it.(J)
4 Like an enemy he has strung his bow;(K)
his right hand is ready.
Like a foe he has slain
all who were pleasing to the eye;(L)
he has poured out his wrath(M) like fire(N)
on the tent(O) of Daughter Zion.

into the hands of the enemy;
they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
as on the day of an appointed festival.(Z)
8 The Lord determined to tear down
the wall around Daughter Zion.(AA)
He stretched out a measuring line(AB)
and did not withhold his hand from destroying.
He made ramparts(AC) and walls lament;
together they wasted away.(AD)
9 Her gates(AE) have sunk into the ground;
their bars(AF) he has broken and destroyed.
Her king and her princes are exiled(AG) among the nations,
the law(AH) is no more,
and her prophets(AI) no longer find
visions(AJ) from the Lord.
10 The elders of Daughter Zion
sit on the ground in silence;(AK)
they have sprinkled dust(AL) on their heads(AM)
and put on sackcloth.(AN)
The young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.(AO)
11 My eyes fail from weeping,(AP)
I am in torment within(AQ);
my heart(AR) is poured out(AS) on the ground
because my people are destroyed,(AT)
because children and infants faint(AU)
in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers,
“Where is bread and wine?”(AV)
as they faint like the wounded
in the streets of the city,
as their lives ebb away(AW)
in their mothers’ arms.(AX)
13 What can I say for you?(AY)
With what can I compare you,
Daughter(AZ) Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you,
that I may comfort you,
Virgin Daughter Zion?(BA)
Your wound is as deep as the sea.(BB)
Who can heal you?
14 The visions of your prophets
were false(BC) and worthless;
they did not expose your sin
to ward off your captivity.(BD)
The prophecies they gave you
were false and misleading.(BE)
15 All who pass your way
clap their hands at you;(BF)
they scoff(BG) and shake their heads(BH)
at Daughter Jerusalem:(BI)
“Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,(BJ)
the joy of the whole earth?”(BK)
16 All your enemies open their mouths
wide against you;(BL)
they scoff and gnash their teeth(BM)
and say, “We have swallowed her up.(BN)
This is the day we have waited for;
we have lived to see it.”(BO)
17 The Lord has done what he planned;
he has fulfilled(BP) his word,
which he decreed long ago.(BQ)
He has overthrown you without pity,(BR)
he has let the enemy gloat over you,(BS)
he has exalted the horn[e] of your foes.(BT)
18 The hearts of the people
cry out to the Lord.(BU)
You walls of Daughter Zion,(BV)
let your tears(BW) flow like a river
day and night;(BX)
give yourself no relief,
your eyes no rest.(BY)

as the watches of the night begin;
pour out your heart(BZ) like water
in the presence of the Lord.(CA)
Lift up your hands(CB) to him
for the lives of your children,
who faint(CC) from hunger
at every street corner.

Whom have you ever treated like this?
Should women eat their offspring,(CD)
the children they have cared for?(CE)
Should priest and prophet be killed(CF)
in the sanctuary of the Lord?(CG)
