耶利米哀歌 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
神惩罚耶路撒冷
2 主在烈怒中,怎么竟然使黑云遮盖锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)!
他把以色列的荣美,从天上拋到地上;
他在发怒的日子,竟不记念自己的脚凳。
2 主吞灭了雅各所有住处,毫不顾惜;
他在忿怒中,把犹大居民的坚固城拆毁;
他使国家和国中众领袖都倒在地上,受尽羞辱。
3 他在烈怒中砍断以色列所有的角;
他从仇敌面前,收回自己的右手。
他像吞灭四周物件的火焰,在雅各中间焚烧。
4 他像仇敌拉弓,他的右手已经预备好。
他像敌人把一切悦人眼目的都杀灭了;
他如火的忿怒倒在锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的帐棚上。
5 主好象成了仇敌;
他吞灭了以色列和她所有的宫殿,毁坏了她的坚固城。
他在犹大居民的中间,增添了悲哀和哭号。
6 他把自己的住所破坏,好象园子一样;
他毁坏了属他的聚会之处。
耶和华使节期和安息日都在锡安被忘记;
他在他的盛怒中弃绝了君王和祭司。
7 主丢弃了自己的祭坛,厌弃了自己的圣所。
他把宫殿的围墙,交付在仇敌的手里;
他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷,好象庆祝节日一样。
8 耶和华定意要拆毁锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的城墙;
他拉了准绳,决不停手,务要把它吞灭。
他使堡垒和城墙都悲哀,一同受痛苦。
9 锡安的众城门已经陷入地里;耶和华把锡安的门闩都毁坏折断了。
锡安的君王和领袖都身在列国中;锡安再没有律法了;
它的众先知也得不到从耶和华而来的异象。
10 锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的长老都坐在地上,默默无声;
他们把尘灰撒在头上,腰束麻布。
耶路撒冷的处女都垂头至地。
11 我的眼睛因流泪而失明,我的心肠激动,
我的肝胆倾倒在地,都因我的子民(“我的子民”原文作“我子民的女子”)遭毁灭,
孩童和婴儿在城里的街上昏倒。
12 他们像被刺伤的人昏倒在城里街上的时候,
他们在母亲的怀里快要丧命的时候,
他们就问母亲:“五谷和酒在哪里呢?”
13 耶路撒冷的居民哪,我怎样向你说明呢?用甚么与你比较呢?
锡安的居民哪,我们用甚么跟你相比,好安慰你呢?
你的裂口像海那样大,谁能医治你呢?
14 你的假先知为了你所见的异象,
尽是虚谎和愚昧;
他们没有显露你的罪孽,使你的命运得以挽回;
他们为你所得的默示,全是虚谎,是引人走错路的。
15 所有过路的人,都拍掌嘲笑你;
他们嗤笑耶路撒冷的居民,并摇头说:
“被人称为最完美,为全地所喜悦的,就是这城吗?”
16 你所有的仇敌都张开口攻击你,
他们嗤笑你,又咬牙切齿,说:“我们吞灭它了!
这真是我们期待的日子!我们等到了!亲眼看见了!”
17 耶和华作成了他定意去作的,成就了他的话,
就是他昔日所宣告的,他把你拆毁,并不怜惜,
他使仇敌因胜过你而高兴,他高举你敌人的角。
18 锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的城墙啊,你要一心向主哀求;
愿你的眼泪像江河般涌流,昼夜不息;
愿你得不着歇息,愿你眼中的瞳人不能休息。
19 夜里每到交更的时分,你要起来呼喊;
在主面前你要倾心如水!
你的孩童在各街头上因饥饿而昏倒,
你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告。
20 “耶和华啊,求你观看!求你鉴察!你曾这样对待过谁呢?
难道妇人应该吃掉自己所生的,就是自己所抚养的婴孩吗?
难道祭司和先知应该在主的圣所里被杀害吗?”
21 少年人和老年人都在街上倒卧在地死了;
我的年轻男女都倒毙于刀下;
在你忿怒的日子,你杀了他们,你屠杀了他们,毫不怜惜。
耶路撒冷的哀祷
22 你从四围招聚惊吓我的,好象招聚人过节的日子一样。
在耶和华忿怒的日子,没有人可以逃脱,可以生存。
我所抚育、所养大的,我的仇敌都灭尽了。
Lamentações de Jeremias 2
O Livro
2 Uma nuvem de ira, da parte do Senhor, escureceu Sião. Aquela que era a mais bela cidade de Israel está agora estendida no pó da terra, expulsa das alturas do céu por ordem de Deus. No dia da sua tremenda cólera não houve sequer misericórdia para com o templo, o estrado dos seus pés.
2 O Senhor destruiu sem piedade cada casa em Israel; na sua ira derribou cada fortaleza, cada muralha; levou o reino até ao pó, acompanhado dos governantes.
3 Todas as energias de Israel se desvaneceram sob o seu terrível juízo; retirou-lhes totalmente a proteção na altura em que o inimigo atacou. Deus ardeu como um violento fogo através de todo o Israel.
4 Retesa o arco na direção do seu povo, como se este fosse seu adversário. A sua força é usada contra ele, para liquidar a melhor juventude. O seu furor derrama-se como matéria inflamada sobre eles.
5 Sim, o Senhor venceu Israel como se este fosse um inimigo; destruiu-lhe as fortificações, os palácios. Tristeza e lágrimas é a sorte que coube a Jerusalém.
6 Fez abater violentamente o seu templo como se se tratasse meramente duma cabana feita de ramos e folhas de árvores. O povo não pode mais celebrar as santas festividades, os sábados. Reis e sacerdotes caíram sob a sua indignação.
7 O Senhor rejeitou o seu próprio altar e rejeitou o seu santuário; deu as fortalezas deles aos inimigos, os quais fazem festas e se embebedam no templo do Senhor, tal como Israel costumava fazer nos dias de santas celebrações.
8 O Senhor determinou destruir os muros de Sião. Ele estendeu a linha de nivelar e calculou com precisão a destruição em curso. Por isso, as muralhas e as fortalezas caíram na sua frente.
9 As portas de Jerusalém já de nada servem; todas as fechaduras e cadeados estão violados e partidos; foi ele mesmo quem os arrombou. Os seus reis e os nobres estão escravizados em terras desconhecidas e afastadas, sem leis divinas para os governar, sem a visão do Senhor para guiar os profetas.
10 Os anciãos da filha de Sião sentam-se no chão em silêncio, vestidos de serapilheira. Lançam pó sobre as cabeças em sinal de luto e amargura. As jovens de Jerusalém inclinam as cabeças até ao chão com vergonha.
11 Tenho chorado até me secarem as lágrimas; o meu coração está quebrantado, tenho o espírito profundamente deprimido, por ver o que aconteceu ao meu povo; criancinhas e bebés desfalecem e morrem no meio das ruas.
12 “Mãe, mãe, quero comer!”, gritam elas e ficam-se sem vida no seu colo. São vidas que partem como se fosse numa batalha.
13 Alguma vez no mundo terá havido tristeza semelhante? Ó Jerusalém, com que poderei comparar a tua angústia? Como poderei eu confortar-te, Sião? Porque o teu mal é profundo como o fundo do mar. Quem poderá curar-te?
14 As visões que os teus profetas te anunciaram, são mensagens enganosas e falsas. Nem sequer tentaram salvar-te da escravidão, denunciando os teus pecados, antes calmamente te diziam que tudo ia bem.
15 Todos os que por ali passam abanam as cabeças, riem-se e dizem: “Vejam, a excelência da beleza e a alegria de toda a Terra, o estado em que ela ficou!”
16 Todos os teus inimigos troçam de ti; torcem-se a rir, arreganham os dentes e dizem: “Até que enfim a destruímos! Fartámo-nos de esperar por este momento, mas acabou por chegar! Estamos a ver nós próprios a sua queda!”
17 Foi o Senhor mesmo quem fez isto, como já tinha dito antes claramente; cumpriu as suas promessas de condenação feitas já há muito tempo; destruiu Jerusalém sem misericórdia e fez com que os seus inimigos se alegrassem e vangloriassem das suas próprias forças.
18 O povo chora perante o Senhor. Ó gente de Jerusalém, deixem as lágrimas escorrer como um ribeiro; não deixem de chorar, não deem descanso aos vossos olhos noite e dia!
19 Levanta-te de noite e clama a Deus; derrama o teu coração como se fosse água, perante o Senhor; levanta para ele as mãos e intercede pelos teus filhos que morrem de fome nas ruas.
20 Ó Senhor, olha! É ao teu próprio povo que estás a fazer isto! Serão as mães obrigadas a comer os próprios filhinhos que adormeceram nos braços? Estarão os sacerdotes e os profetas destinados a morrer mesmo no templo do Senhor?
21 Olha para eles, estendidos no meio das ruas, velhos e novos, rapazes e raparigas, mortos pelas armas inimigas. Mataste-os, Senhor, no teu furor, mataste-os sem piedade.
22 Mandaste vir deliberadamente terrores de toda a parte contra mim, como se se tratasse de um dia de festa. No tempo da tua ira ninguém conseguiu escapar, ninguém ficou vivo. Todos os meus filhinhos jazem mortos pelas ruas por onde passou o inimigo.
Lamentations 2
Lexham English Bible
The Lord is Angry
2 How, in his anger,[a]
the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion in a cloud!
He has thrown down from heavens to earth
the splendor of Israel,
and he has not remembered his footstool
in the day of his anger.[b]
2 The Lord has devoured; he has not shown mercy
to all the dwellings of Jacob;
he has broken down in his wrath
the fortifications of the daughter of Judah;
he has leveled to the ground, he has dishonored
the kingdom and its commanders.[c]
3 He has cut down in fierce anger[d]
all the might of Israel;
he has withdrawn his right hand
from the faces of the enemy,
and he has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire,
it has consumed all around.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy;
he has set his right hand
like a foe, and he has slain
all the treasures of the eye;[e]
in the tent of the daughter of Zion,
he has poured out his anger like fire.
5 The Lord has become like an enemy;
he has destroyed Israel;
he has destroyed all its citadel fortresses;[f]
he has ruined all its fortifications
and multiplied lamentation and mourning
in the daughter of Judah.
6 He has broken down his dwelling[g] place like the garden;
he has ruined his appointed feasts;
Yahweh has made them forget in Zion
festival[h] and Sabbath,
and he has despised in his anger
king and priest.
7 The Lord has rejected his altar;
he has rejected his sanctuary;
he has delivered into the hands of the enemy
the walls of its citadel fortresses.[i]
They have cried out in the house of Yahweh
like a day of an appointed feast.
8 Yahweh has planned to destroy
the wall of the daughter of Zion.
He measured with a line; he has not restrained
his hand from destroying;
he caused rampart and wall to mourn;
together they have languished away.
9 Her gates have sunk into the earth;
he has ruined and broken her bars,
her kings and its princes are among the nations;
there is no more law.[j]
Also, her prophets have not found
a revelation from Yahweh.
10 They sit on the ground,
the elders of the daughter of Zion are silent.
They cast dust on their head,
they have put on sackcloth;
the young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their head down to the ground.
11 My eyes have spent all their tears;[k]
my stomach[l] is in torment,
my heart[m] is poured out on the earth
because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
because child and babe faint
in the public squares of a city.
12 To their mothers they say,
“Where is the bread and wine?”
as they faint like the wounded
in the public squares of a city,
as their life is being poured out
onto the bosom of their mothers.
13 What can I say for you? What can I compare to you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you so that I can comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your destruction is as vast as the sea;
who can heal you?
14 Your prophets had a vision for you,
false and worthless;
they have not exposed your sin,
to restore your fortune;
they have seen oracles for you,
false and misleading.
15 They clap hands over you,
all who pass along the way;
they hiss and they shake their head,
at the daughter of Jerusalem.
Is this the city of which it is said,
“A perfection of beauty, a joy for all the earth?”
16 They have opened their mouths against you,
all your enemies.
They hiss and gnash a tooth,
and they say, “We have destroyed her!
Surely this is the day we have hoped for;
we have found it, we have seen it!”
17 Yahweh has done what he has planned;
he has fulfilled his promise
that he ordained from the days of old;
he has demolished and not shown mercy;
he has made an enemy rejoice over you,
he has exalted the might[n] of your foes.
18 Their heart cried to the Lord,
“O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let tears stream down like a river;
day and night,
do not give yourself relief,
do not give your eyes rest.
19 “Arise, cry out in the night,
at the beginning of the night watches;
pour out your heart like water,
before the face of the Lord.
Lift to him your hands,
for the life of your children,
who faint in starvation,
at the head of all streets.”
20 See, Yahweh, and take note!
With whom have you dealt thus?
Should women eat their young
children of tender care?
Should priest and prophet be slain
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 They lie in the soil of the streets,
young and old;
my young women[o] and young men,
they have fallen by the sword;
you have slain on the day of your anger,[p]
you have slaughtered and not shown mercy.
22 You have summoned my horror from all around,
as if for a feast day;
no one on the day of Yahweh’s anger
is a fugitive and a survivor;
whoever I have cared for and reared,
my enemy has destroyed.

9 Her gates(AE) have sunk into the ground;

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)

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)
