耶利米哀歌 1:1-3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
淒慘的耶路撒冷
1 從前人煙稠密的城，
現在何其荒涼！
從前揚威萬邦的強國，
現在竟像寡婦一樣。
從前在諸省做公主的，
現在卻淪為奴婢。
2 她在夜間痛哭，淚流滿面。
情人中沒有一個前來安慰。
朋友都出賣她，與她為敵。
3 猶大飽受苦難和奴役，
被擄往遠方，流落異邦，
找不到安居之所。
她在走投無路之際被追敵擒獲。
Lamentations 1:1-3
English Standard Version
How Lonely Sits the City
1 (A)How lonely sits the city
that was full of people!
How like (B)a widow has she become,
she who was great among the nations!
She who was (C)a princess among the provinces
has become (D)a slave.
2 (E)She weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks;
(F)among all her lovers
she has (G)none to comfort her;
(H)all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.
3 (I)Judah has gone into exile because of affliction[a]
and hard servitude;
(J)she dwells now among the nations,
(K)but finds no resting place;
her pursuers have all overtaken her
in the midst of her distress.[b]

Jerusalem in Affliction
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
(A)How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The (B)princess among the provinces
Has become a [a]slave!
2 She (C)weeps bitterly in the (D)night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers

All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.

Under affliction and hard servitude;
