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.

耶利米哀歌 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶和华惩罚耶路撒冷
2 主的怒气像乌云一样遮盖锡安城[a]，
祂使以色列的荣美从天上坠下。
祂发怒的时候并不顾念自己的脚凳。
2 主毫不留情地毁灭雅各一切的住处，
祂在烈怒中夷平犹大的堡垒，
让以色列及其首领蒙羞。
3 祂发烈怒毁灭以色列全军。
敌人袭来时，祂收回大能的手。
祂像烈焰一样吞噬雅各。
4 祂抬起右手张弓搭箭，
宛若仇敌，
杀戮一切悦人眼目的人，
将祂的怒火撒向锡安城的帐篷。
5 主像敌人一样毁灭以色列，
吞噬她的宫殿，夷平她的堡垒，
使犹大人哀哭不止。
6 祂摧毁自己的居所，
如同摧毁花园；
祂摧毁自己规定的聚会之处，
使锡安的人民忘记安息日和节期。
祂在烈怒中弃绝所有的君王和祭司。
7 主撇弃自己的祭坛，
憎恶自己的圣所，
把耶路撒冷的殿墙交给敌人。
他们像过节一样，
在耶和华的殿中喧嚷吵闹。
8 耶和华决意拆毁锡安的城墙，
祂拉了准线，
定意毁灭，决不停止。
祂使城墙和壁垒一同悲哀哭泣。
9 锡安的城门陷入地中，
主摧毁、砍断她的门闩。
她的君王和首领流落异乡，
律法不复存在，
她的先知得不到从耶和华而来的异象。
10 锡安城的长老腰束麻布，
头蒙灰尘，坐在地上，
默然不语；
耶路撒冷的少女垂头至地。
11 我哭得眼睛失明，
心如刀割，肝胆欲碎，
因为人民惨遭毁灭，
儿童和婴孩昏倒在街头。
12 孩子们问母亲：
“哪里有饼和酒呢？”
他们像受伤的勇士，
昏倒在城中的街头，
在母亲怀中奄奄一息。
13 耶路撒冷啊，我该说什么呢？
谁能与你的苦难相比呢？
锡安啊，我用什么话语才能安慰你呢？
你的伤口深如海洋，
谁能医治你呢？
14 你的先知所见的异象虚假无用。
他们没有揭露你的罪恶，
以致你被掳。
他们给你的预言虚假谬误。
15 路人都拍掌嘲笑你。
他们向耶路撒冷城摇头，
嗤笑道：
“这就是那被誉为完美无瑕、
普世喜悦的城吗？”
16 敌人都幸灾乐祸地讥讽你，
他们咬牙切齿地说：
“我们吞灭了她！
这是我们期待已久的日子！
我们终于见到这一天了！”
17 耶和华实现了祂的计划，
成就了祂很久以前的应许。
祂毫不留情地毁灭了你，
使你的仇敌幸灾乐祸，
耀武扬威。
18 锡安的城墙啊，
你要从心里向主呼求！
你的眼泪要像江河一样昼夜涌流，
不歇不眠。
19 你要在夜间起来，
在主面前整夜呼求，
向祂倾心吐意；
你要为饿昏街头的孩童向主举手祷告。
20 “耶和华啊，求你看看，
你曾这样对付过谁呢？
母亲岂能吃自己的孩子？
祭司和先知岂能在主的圣所中被杀？
21 “老人和小孩陈尸街头，
少男少女都丧身刀下。
你在发怒的日子杀了他们，
毫不留情。
22 “你从四面八方召人攻击我，
如同召集人过节。
耶和华发怒的日子，
无人得以逃脱，无人得以幸免。
敌人杀光了我养育的孩子。”

Tweede klaaglied – Wat de Heer met Jeruzalem heeft gedaan
2 In zijn woede heeft de Heer het donker laten worden in Jeruzalem.[a]
De stad waar Hij eens in zijn macht en majesteit woonde, heeft Hij verwoest.
Zelfs zijn tempel, zijn voetenbank, heeft Hij vernietigd.
2 Zonder medelijden verwoestte de Heer Israëls dorpen.
Geen dorp liet Hij heel.
In zijn woede heeft Hij alle steden vernield,
tot de grond afgebroken.
Het hele koninkrijk en alle leiders heeft Hij vernederd.
3 In zijn woede heeft Hij alle macht van Israël gebroken.
Toen de vijand kwam, weigerde Hij ons te helpen.
Zijn woede was als een vuur dat alles verslindt.
Heel Israël is erdoor verslonden.
4 Hij richtte zijn pijlen op ons, als een vijand.
Hij was onze tegenstander geworden.
Alles waar wij van hielden, heeft Hij verwoest.
Heel Jeruzalem is verwoest door het vuur van zijn woede.
5 De Heer is onze vijand geworden.
Hij heeft Israël verwoest,
al zijn paleizen vernietigd, zijn burchten vernield.
Iedereen in Jeruzalem huilt en kreunt.
6 Hij heeft zijn tempel verwoest,
weggerukt als een tent.
De plaats waar Hij bij ons kwam, heeft Hij vernietigd.
De feesten in Jeruzalem zijn vergeten.
Niemand viert nog de heilige rustdag.
De koning en de priesters zijn verdwenen.
7 De Heer wil niets meer met zijn altaar te maken hebben.
Hij heeft zijn heiligdom vernield.
Hij heeft de vijand de paleizen laten verwoesten.
Ze hebben in zijn tempel hun overwinning gevierd.
8 De Heer had besloten Jeruzalem te vernietigen.
De muren en torens werden verwoest.
Hij hield de vijand niet tegen!
Alle muren werden met de grond gelijk gemaakt.
9 De poortdeuren zijn uit de poorten gerukt, de grendels vernield.
De koning en leiders van het land wonen bij andere volken.
Er zijn geen priesters meer die lesgeven in de wetten en leefregels van de Heer.
De profeten krijgen geen woorden meer van God.
10 De raadgevers van Jeruzalem zitten zwijgend op de grond.
Ze hebben stof op hun hoofd gelegd als teken van verdriet.
Ze dragen rouwkleren.
De vrouwen lopen met gebogen hoofd.
11 Mijn ogen branden van het huilen.
Ik voel me ziek. Mijn hart doet pijn. Ik ben zó bedroefd!
Want mijn volk sterft.
Kinderen en baby's sterven op straat van honger en dorst.
12 Ze vragen hun moeder om eten en drinken.
Maar er is niets en ze sterven van honger en dorst,
zoals verslagen soldaten in de straten van de stad.
Ze sterven op hun moeders schoot.
13 Waarmee zal ik je vergelijken, Jeruzalem?
Hoe kan ik je troosten?
Je ellende is zo groot! Onmeetbaar als de zee.
Wie kan jou nog helpen?
14 Je profeten hebben tegen je gelogen.
Ze hebben je niet gezegd dat je ongehoorzaam was.
Ze hebben niets gedaan om te voorkomen dat het zó met je zou aflopen.
Ze hebben je met hun leugens bedrogen.
15 Mensen die voorbij komen, slaan geschokt de handen in elkaar.
Ze fluiten tussen hun tanden en schudden hun hoofd. 'Is dit de stad die zo geprezen werd om haar schoonheid?
Is dit de mooiste stad van de wereld?'
16 Al je vijanden lachen je uit.
Ze fluiten naar je en sissen tegen je: 'We hebben Jeruzalem vernietigd!
Hier hebben we zo lang op gehoopt!
En nu is het dan zo ver!'
17 De Heer heeft gedaan wat Hij over je had besloten.
Hij heeft gedaan wat Hij had gezegd.
Nu is gebeurd wat Hij lang geleden beloofd had.
Zonder medelijden heeft Hij Jeruzalem vernietigd.
Hij heeft de vijand de overwinning gegeven.
Hij heeft ervoor gezorgd dat de vijand machtiger was dan jij.
18 De bewoners van Jeruzalem schreeuwen het uit tot de Heer.
Muren van Jeruzalem, laat je tranen stromen!
Laat ze dag en nacht stromen als een beek!
19 Roep de hele nacht tot de Heer.
Stort je hart voor Hem uit.
Steek je handen naar Hem op.
Smeek Hem om het leven van je bewoners
die van de honger sterven in de straten.
20 Heer, hoe kunt U ons dit aandoen!
Laat U dan toe dat moeders hun eigen kinderen opeten van de honger?
De kinderen waar ze zoveel van houden?
Laat U dan toe dat de priesters en profeten
in uw heiligdom worden gedood?
21 Jong en oud ligt dood in de straten.
Meisjes en jongens zijn gedood door het zwaard.
U heeft ze gedood in uw woede,
zonder medelijden.
22 Van alle kanten heeft U de vijanden laten komen,
zoals feestgangers uitgenodigd worden voor een feest.
Niemand kon ontkomen op de dag van uw straf.
Niemand bleef in leven.
De mensen van wie ik zoveel hield
werden door de vijand gedood.

Lamentations 2
New International Version
Lamentations 2
New International Version
2 [a]How the Lord has covered Daughter Zion
with the cloud of his anger[b]!(A)
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.
5 The Lord is like an enemy;(P)
he has swallowed up Israel.
He has swallowed up all her palaces
and destroyed her strongholds.(Q)
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation(R)
for Daughter Judah.(S)
6 He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;
he has destroyed(T) his place of meeting.(U)
The Lord has made Zion forget
her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths;(V)
in his fierce anger he has spurned
both king and priest.(W)
7 The Lord has rejected his altar
and abandoned his sanctuary.(X)
He has given the walls of her palaces(Y)
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)
19 Arise, cry out in the night,
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.
20 “Look, Lord, and consider:
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)
