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。”

Kodi ansembe ndi aneneri awaphere

21 Anyamata ndi okalamba aligone pamodzi
pa fumbi la mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda;
anyamata anga ndi anamwali anga
aphedwa ndi lupanga.
Inu Yehova mwawapha pa tsiku la mkwiyo wanu;
mwawapha mopanda chifundo.
22 Ngati momwe mumayitanira pa tsiku la phwando,
chimodzimodzinso mwandiyitanira zoopsa mbali zonse.
Pa tsiku limene Yehova wakwiya
palibe amene angathawe ndi kukhala ndi moyo;
mdani wanga wawononga
onse amene ndinkawasamala ndi kuwalera.
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He has withdrawn his right hand(I)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)

Lamentations 2
King James Version
2 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.
22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
