耶利米哀歌 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
凄惨的耶路撒冷
1 从前人烟稠密的城，
现在何其荒凉！
从前扬威万邦的强国，
现在竟像寡妇一样。
从前在诸省做公主的，
现在却沦为奴婢。
2 她在夜间痛哭，泪流满面。
情人中没有一个前来安慰。
朋友都出卖她，与她为敌。
3 犹大饱受苦难和奴役，
被掳往远方，流落异邦，
找不到安居之所。
她在走投无路之际被追敌擒获。
4 通往锡安[a]的道路满目凄凉，
因为无人前去过节。
她的城门冷落，
她的祭司悲叹，
她的少女哀伤，她痛苦不已。
5 敌人做了她的主人，
兴旺发达。
因为她作恶多端，
耶和华叫她饱受困苦，
她的孩子被敌人掳去。
6 锡安的尊荣消逝，
她的首领像找不到草吃的鹿，
无力逃脱敌人的追赶。
7 在困苦流离中，
耶路撒冷想起昔日的荣华。
如今，她的人民落在敌人手中，
无人援救。
仇敌看见她，都嘲笑她的灭亡。
8 耶路撒冷罪大恶极，
沦为污秽之物。
从前尊重她的人看见她赤身裸体，就蔑视她。
她只能哀叹、退避。
9 她的裙子沾满污秽，
她未曾想过自己的结局。
她的败落无比凄惨，
无人安慰。
她哭喊道：“耶和华啊，
仇敌已经获胜，
求你垂顾我的苦难！”
10 敌人伸手夺去她的一切珍宝。
她目睹外族人闯入圣殿——那是耶和华禁止他们进入的地方。
11 她的人民呻吟着四处觅食，
用珍宝换取粮食维生。
耶路撒冷的哀叹
她说：“耶和华啊，求你眷顾我，
因为我被人蔑视。
12 “路人啊，你们都无动于衷吗？
你们看看，
耶和华向我发烈怒，降祸于我，
还有谁比我更痛苦呢？
13 “祂从高天降下火来，
焚烧我的骨头；
祂在我脚前设下网罗，
使我返回；
祂使我凄凉孤寂，终日痛苦。
14 “我的罪恶连接成轭，
祂亲手把它们编在一起，
绑在我的颈项上，
使我筋疲力尽。
主把我交给我无力抵挡的敌人。
15 “主藐视我所有的勇士，
召集军队攻击我，
打垮我的青年。
主践踏犹大人[b]，
如同在榨酒池踩踏。
16 “我为此哭泣，
泪流满面，
却无人安慰、鼓励我。
我的儿女凄凉孤苦，
因为仇敌已经得胜。”
17 锡安伸手求助，却无人理睬。
耶和华已命四周邻国与雅各为敌。
耶路撒冷在他们当中成了污秽之物。
18 “但耶和华是公义的，
因为我违背了祂的命令。
万国啊，请听我的话，
看看我的痛苦！
我的年轻男女都被掳去。
19 “我向情人们求助，
他们却欺骗我。
我的祭司和长老在觅食求生时，
倒毙在城中。
20 “耶和华啊，
看看我是多么痛苦！
我的内脏搅动，
我的心灵翻腾，
因为我背叛了你。
街上有屠杀，
家中有死亡。
21 “人们听见我的哀叹，
却无人安慰我。
敌人看见你降给我的灾难，
都幸灾乐祸。
愿你应许的审判之日来临，
叫他们像我一样受苦！
22 “愿他们的恶行都摆在你眼前！
你怎样因我的罪恶而惩罚我，
愿你也照样惩罚他们！
我叹息不绝，心中哀伤。”

Zion Lays Desolate
Aleph
1 How (A)lonely sits the city
That was (B)great with people!
She has become like a (C)widow
Who was once (D)great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the [a]provinces
Has become a (E)forced laborer!
Beth
2 She (F)weeps bitterly in the night,
And her tears are on her cheeks;
She has none to comfort her
Among all her (G)lovers.
All her friends have (H)dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
Gimel
3 (I)Judah has gone into exile because of affliction
And because of great slavery;
She sits (J)among the nations,
But she has found no rest;
All (K)her pursuers have overtaken her
In the midst of [b]distress.
Daleth
4 The roads [c]of Zion are in mourning
Because (L)no one comes to the appointed times.
All her gates are (M)desolate;
Her priests are sighing,
Her (N)virgins are grieving,
And she herself [d]is (O)bitter.
He
5 Her adversaries have become [e]her masters;
Her enemies are complacent;
For [f]Yahweh has (P)caused her grief
Because of the greatness of her transgressions;
Her infants have gone away
As captives before the adversary.
Vav
6 So all her (Q)majesty
Has gone out from the daughter of Zion;
Her princes have become like deer
That have found no pasture;
So they have [g](R)fled without strength
Before the pursuer.
Zayin
7 In the days of her affliction and homelessness
(S)Jerusalem remembers all her precious things
That were from the days of old,
When her people fell into the hand of the adversary
And (T)no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her;
They (U)laughed at her [h]ruin.
Heth
8 Jerusalem sinned (V)greatly;
Therefore (W)she has become an impure thing.
All who honored her despise her
Because they have seen her nakedness;
Even (X)she herself sighs and turns away.
Teth
9 Her (Y)uncleanness was in her skirts;
She did not remember her (Z)future.
Therefore she has (AA)gone down astonishingly;
(AB)She has no comforter.
“(AC)See, O Yahweh, my affliction,
For the enemy has (AD)magnified himself!”
Yodh
10 The adversary has stretched out his hand
Over all her desirable things,
For she has seen the (AE)nations enter her sanctuary,
The ones whom You commanded
That they should (AF)not enter into Your assembly.
Kaph
11 All her people are sighing, (AG)seeking bread;
They have given their desirable things for food
To (AH)restore their souls.
“See, O Yahweh, and look,
For I am (AI)despised.”
Lamedh
12 “Is (AJ)it nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any [i]pain like my [j]pain
Which was dealt severely to me,
Which (AK)Yahweh grieved me with on the day of His (AL)burning anger.
Mem
13 From on high He sent fire into my (AM)bones,
And it dominated them.
He has spread a (AN)net for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me (AO)desolate,
[k]Faint all day long.
Nun
14 The (AP)yoke of my transgressions is bound;
By His hand they are knit together.
They have (AQ)come upon my neck;
He has made my strength stumble.
The Lord (AR)has given me into the hands
Of those against whom I am not able to stand.
Samekh
15 The (AS)Lord has rejected all my mighty men
In my midst;
He has called an appointed time against me
To break my (AT)young men;
The Lord has (AU)trodden as in a wine press
The virgin daughter of Judah.
Ayin
16 For these things I (AV)am weeping;
[l]My eyes run down with water;
Because far from me is a (AW)comforter,
One who restores my soul.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy has prevailed.”
Pe
17 Zion (AX)stretches out her hands;
There is no one to comfort her;
Yahweh has (AY)commanded concerning Jacob
That the ones round about him should be his adversaries;
(AZ)Jerusalem has become an impure thing among them.
Tsadhe
18 “Yahweh is (BA)righteous;
For I have (BB)rebelled against His [m]command;
Hear now, all peoples,
And (BC)behold my [n]pain;
(BD)My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.
Qoph
19 I (BE)called to my lovers, but they deceived me;
My (BF)priests and my elders breathed their last in the city
While they sought food for themselves in order to (BG)restore their souls.
Resh
20 See, O Yahweh, for I am in distress;
My [o](BH)inmost being is greatly disturbed;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very (BI)rebellious.
In the street the sword bereaves;
In the house it is like death.
Shin
21 They have heard that I (BJ)am sighing;
There is no one to comfort me;
All my enemies have heard of the [p]evil done to me;
They (BK)rejoice that You have done it.
You have brought the day which You have proclaimed,
So that they will become (BL)like me.
Tav
22 Let all their evil come before You;
And (BM)deal severely with them as You have dealt severely with me
For all my transgressions;
For my groans are great and my heart is faint.”

Jerusalem’s suffering
1 Oh, no!
She sits alone, the city that was once full of people.
Once great among nations, she has become like a widow.
Once a queen over provinces, she has become a slave.
2 She weeps bitterly in the night, her tears on her cheek.
None of her lovers comfort her.
All her friends lied to her; they have become her enemies.
3 Judah was exiled after suffering and hard service.
She lives among the nations; she finds no rest.
All who were chasing her caught her—
right in the middle of her distress.
4 Zion’s roads are in mourning; no one comes to the festivals.
All her gates are deserted. Her priests are groaning,
her young women grieving. She is bitter.
5 Her adversaries have become rulers; her enemies relax.
Certainly the Lord caused her grief because of her many wrong acts.
Her children have gone away, captive before the enemy.
6 Daughter Zion lost all her glory.
Her officials are like deer that can’t find pasture.
They have gone away, frail, before the hunter.
7 While suffering and homeless, Jerusalem remembers all her treasures from days long past.
When her people fell by the enemy’s hand, there was no one to help her.
Enemies saw her, laughed at her defeat.
8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore, she’s become a joke.[a]
All who honored her now detest her, for they’ve seen her naked.
Even she groans and turns away.
9 Her uncleanness shows on her clothing; she didn’t consider what would happen to her.
She’s gone down shockingly; she has no comforter.
“Lord, look at my suffering—the enemy has definitely triumphed!”
10 The enemy grabbed all her treasures.
She watched nations enter her sanctuary—
nations that you, God,[b] commanded: They must not enter your assembly.
11 All her people are groaning, seeking bread.
They give up their most precious things for food to survive.
“Lord, look and take notice: I am most certainly despised.”
12 Is this nothing to all you who pass by?[c]
Look around: Is there any suffering like the suffering inflicted on me,
the grief that the Lord caused on the day of his fierce anger?
13 From above he sent fire into my bones; he trampled them.
He spread a net for my feet; he forced me backward.
He left me devastated, constantly sick.
14 My steps[d] are being watched;[e] by his hand they are tripped up.
His yoke is on my neck; he makes my strength fail.
My Lord has handed me over to people I can’t resist.
15 My Lord has despised my mighty warriors.
He called a feast for me—in order to crush my young men!
My Lord has stomped on the winepress of the young woman Daughter Judah.
16 Because of all these things I’m crying. My eyes, my own eyes pour water
because a comforter who might encourage me is nowhere near.
My children are destroyed because the enemy was so strong.
17 Zion spreads out her hands; she has no comforter.
The Lord commanded Jacob’s enemies to surround him.
Jerusalem is just a piece of garbage to them.
18 The Lord is right, because I disobeyed his word.
Listen, all you people; look at my suffering.
My young women and young men have gone away as prisoners.
19 I called to my lovers, but they deceived me.
My priests and my elders have perished in the city;
they were looking for food to survive.
20 Pay attention, Lord, for I am in trouble. My stomach is churning;
my heart is pounding inside me because I am so bitter.
In the streets the sword kills; in the house it is like death.
21 People heard that I was groaning, that I had no comforter.
All my enemies heard about my distress; they were thrilled that you had done this.
Bring the day you have announced so they become like me!
22 Let all their evil come before you.
Then injure them like you’ve injured me because of all my wrong acts;
my groans are many, my heart is sick.

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.

all the warriors in my midst;(AT)
he has summoned an army(AU) against me

No one is near to comfort(BA) me,

have gone into exile.(BJ)
