哀歎錫安的遭遇

從前人煙稠密的城中,現在怎麼竟然孤獨地坐在那裡。

從前在列國中為大的,現在怎麼竟然像個寡婦。

從前在眾省份中為王后的,現在怎麼竟然成了奴隸。

她在夜間痛哭,淚流滿面。

在她所有親愛的人中,沒有一個安慰她的。

她所有的朋友都以詭詐待她,都成了她的仇敵。

[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)

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)
